Bergman to join us matters surrounding the golf course zoning amendments good morning everybody all right so I am happy and pleased to present to the town board the draft GIS that I prepared for the proposed implementation of the golf course zoning use district just a little back story so the board on August 4th issued the positive declaration and adopted the draft scope for the preparation of the DGEIS we did hold a written period cut written comment period that was held open until August 25th during that period I received one it was actually a little before the written comment period of mr. Robert gas from Calverton he emailed a set of written comments on August 3rd even though it was before the scope was even adopted I'll you know consider that part of the written comment period a lot of his comments were really broad and kind of generalized more towards the golf course zoning in general not a lot of comments specifically pertaining to the written comments on the draft scope you know things that need to be addressed so I have prepared the final scope again there's only a couple of minor tweaks to it you know obviously take taking out draft scope renaming it final changing some dates and there was one one cut one edit on page six of that final scope on the initial draft scope it was a hold over from a prior document that draft scope said that a traffic impact study would be prepared by an outside traffic consultant that was done in-house we got some trip generation data for a use that we felt would be akin to the trip generation anticipated from the golf cottages and we based the traffic assessment on that beyond that the draft scope was written in conformance and addressed all the items that were identified in that draft scope in terms of the environmental impacts. The draft GEIS obviously is very long. The one that's on the website includes all of the references that were used, all of the appendices. The bulk of the main text is only about 17 or 18 pages. The purpose of the DGEIS is to describe the proposed action in broad strokes, which again, just to kind of go over with the board, we're implementing, we're going to rezone six existing golf courses right now that are either currently zoned, RB 80 or APC we're going to create a new golf course zoning use district the text of that zoning use district was essentially taken to mirror the existing RB 80 or APC zoning use district dimensional requirements residential density yields so it was done and crafted in a way that would really only allow for the creation of golf cottages it wouldn't result in any additional unanticipated residential density in the event that the golf cottages you know golf course were to close and the owner would opt for a residential redevelopment. Beyond that, the things that we really looked at were natural environmental resources. There's a section in the DGEIS dedicated to water resources. It spoke about the anticipated impacts to the water district in terms of potable water demand for the golf cottages. It spoke about the groundwater management zones the allowable sanitary densities the anticipated sanitary flows that would result from the creation of these golf cottages spoke to aesthetic resources it describes in pretty good detail the location of all the existing golf courses their existing zoning use districts the general area where the golf courses are located the roadways the adjacent roadways residential developments and the section on transportation which again was an anticipated, you know, analyze the anticipated trip generation from a golf course if they were to develop 18 cottages per hole. And then there was a section on cumulative impacts, which again looked at a worst case, I don't want to say worst case, but a full build out at if all six golf courses were to develop to the maximum potential, the 18 cottages, what the total cumulative anticipated impact would be in terms of water sanitary trip generation etc there were also some alternatives one of the alternatives was a no action alternative which is a standard analysis that's done in all seek DG is and then one of the other alternative was to rezone the existing golf courses to residents a 80 which is an existing TDR receiving area so it looked at that. Beyond that in terms of the statutory time frames so if the board well let me just look before we go into time frames did the board have any questions on the DGIS? I want to make sure the board as lead agency is comfortable with the document if there's anything that wants to be amended if you want to change before we accept this and start the public review period. So some golf courses have a list of zone re80 and they have their building rights attacked so if they leave or decide to close the golf course so then like they go on they're all going to be just want me should ever correct all going to be switched over to a new zoning district specifically for golf courses but should they cease to operate just go back then to wherever they are present re80 well So that's correct. So the existing zoning districts where the golf courses are located right now are either RB80 or APC. And some golf courses have no development yield potential. So if they close, they would essentially like return to natural land. The golf courses that do have development rights intact right now, if golf course closes, they could be redeveloped with a under a two acre residential zoning, which would, you know, requires the yield of 80,000 square foot per residential lot. The zoning, the existing zoning in both RB80 and APC requires clustering. So instead of build out the full two-acre lots, you preserve 70% of the tract and build on about 30% of that land. Those dimensional regulations are the same exact dimensional regulations that we carried through in the golf course zoning use district. So they're not losing the potential for residential density. If a golf course closed, that has residential yield still. If they close, they could still develop under a two-acre residential clustered subdivision. So there's really no net change in that. I took the existing dimensional regulations in terms of setbacks, yield. That's exactly the same. So there's really no change from the current conditions to the golf course zoning use district. The only change is the creation of the golf course zoning use district as a TDR receiving district, which allows the TDRs to be landed for the creation of the golf contest. I think you outlined that at 6.1 and 6.2. Yeah, and it's a lot. If the zoning, there's a lot of text in here. If there's any questions, I can clarify. But yes, there is no change from the existing zoning in terms of potential residential development. They're not being deprived of anything. It's really just a framework to allow the landing of the TDRs. If it wasn't for the TDRs, we wouldn't have to do this DGEIS. But it's because of New York Town Law requirements. When you have a TDR receiving district, you need to do a DGEIS to look at things like water, sanitary, traffic impacts. TDRs can be purchased from any other farmer in the town of Riverhead? Any sending district, which right now, I believe, R8. Like a bank for a government. They can make any deal they want with it. Correct. And the TDRs are all private. I did include in the DGEIS, there is an analysis and, you know, sort of a quantification of what the TDR redemption value would be if, you know, all these golf courses were to develop those. Again, right now, the TDR is a privately traded commodity. You know, the farmer can sell the TDR for whatever he wants. The last recorded TDR transaction we had from the planning board a couple of weeks ago, a commercial development on 58 purchased the remaining credits from an existing TDR certificate, so it was about $80,000 per credit. Just give me one second. Yeah, that's what you want. I want to put this to the forefront. There was analysis in here, and I put a monetary value on it. Yeah, you said approximately $80,000. Yeah. So there would be a multimillion. If all the golf courses were to be redeveloped, the preservation value for all those TDRs is in the several million dollar range. So it's, you know, there's net benefits to both golf courses, net benefits to both preservation, you know, in the town overall. So in terms of the statutory timeframe, so I can prepare if the board finds the DGEIS acceptable. I can have a resolution to adopt a final scope, which I do apologize. I spoke with Devin. We're going to put this final scope up on the website after the meeting. and then also have a resolution to accept the DGEIS. The one thing I will note is for the final DGEIS upon adoption, there will have to be a slight amendment I would include in the appendices of that accepted and distributed DGEIS that we distribute. I would include the resolution adopting that final scope and the final scope itself, just so that's contained within the document. obviously being that that action hasn't been taken that's not currently in the DG EIS said one question on the 3.1 point two and it's I know you're gonna have a great answer for this when you talk about the gallons per day and using the motel hotel you know how did that come up as opposed to let's say because it's 600 square feet and then if you put them together with a common door so to make them 12 then you're getting 300 gallon not exceeding can you just explain that just a little bit have a motel so that that's there's a suffolk county department of health services basically a guidance document for different uses that they ascribe different sanitary flows um that was and This will be distributed. I did include the health department as an interested agency. That was the best presumption that I could use. When you look at the chart, it's not a single family residence. There's a number of uses. That was the most closely related type of use that I could kind of relate that to. This will be shared with the health department as an interested agency. They're not involved in the zoning changes. but I would share that with them just again if they can provide any sort of feedback as to how they would assess those things again that's just a might by the best educated presumption that I can sort of use to for the purposes of the analysis makes perfect sense thank you thank you Greg for talking with me came to your office and talked about this and I think it fits within the line of the comprehensive plan the town is about tourism and this helps tourism great job so if the board's good like I said I'll put those resolutions in minute track in terms of dates so once the lead agency accepts the DG EIS we would distribute it to involved agencies it would get posted on the website in its final form there's a minimum 50 day maximum 50 day time period to schedule a public hearing it is optional I would recommend holding a public hearing on it just because of level of interest it is a pretty significant change just in terms of creating new zoning districts so that 15 to 60 day window we can have the meeting in December December 1st kind of falls right in the middle of that I mean again that would give someone probably like 30 for 30 to 40 days to review the document provide you know formulate their thoughts come to a public hearing so if the board's a man well to that I will use that date as the target date for the public hearing

our next matter is a matter surrounding the red water district fall flushing maintenance with Frank Mancini that's Frank to come in and do a quick update walk us through that. Thanks for having me. I'm Frank, the War Rep District Superintendent, and I want to take this opportunity to apologize to the customers who have been impacted by the rust complaints we've had already. We serve about 35,000 people, and we think a few hundred were impacted. We've been out there flushing to clean that water up, but after experiencing this we just want to communicate that starting the night of October 18th, we're going to do an engineered flushing program where we move water through the main in two directions as quickly as we can through the night and then we'll spend the day cleaning it up you may experience rusted discolored water during that time but when we're done there'll be less small particulates of iron that are in the water causing a discoloration and we shouldn't have this problem again and i want people to understand it's not dangerous it's just tiny little pieces of rust that discolor the water so um you give us a couple weeks and uh we should all be better off afterwards would you like me to put that out here for them to How do we notify residents? Justin, if you could pull this up. Was it just on the town website? Yeah, we put it on our social media. We'd have it on the town website. We did a press release. And Channel 22 as well. Got a lot of complaints from residents in Wading River that they just weren't aware of it. One particular woman destroyed all of our white sheets and clothing. and i know there was another issue but can we do in the future cost effective do like postcards to district or anything just so that residents are aware like when you put that white laundry in to the washing machine we have people that have stated they have you know clothing and items were destroyed because it came out orange yeah because they just didn't realize we didn't well get up in the morning and put on the laundry in i understand but there's two separate issues so when we do a planned flush like this we notify like crazy what you're referring to is The system was disturbed without our knowledge and caused a rust complaint. So then we reactively go out and flush the water main out. At that point, we're not even sure where the rust is. We're responding to phone calls that come in from someone taking an action that we didn't do. Forgive me, I'm just asking about the standard flushing times in which you normally do. How are they notified? Do they get any type of letter? Well, no, they get all this public notification. And when we do the flush of the other half of the system, we do give people a rough schedule. But because we've never flushed Wading River and Calverton before, this is the first time we're doing it. We anticipate doing this yearly, but we don't know how long it's going to take. So I would be guessing we can tell them maybe we'll start. We plan to start in Calverton around Fresh Pond Road and work our way west. But as far as how long it's going to take, we don't have any direct experience doing it. So say next year, we'll use this year's information to have a better notification where you would expect discolored water at this time. I think the partners in the media do a good job. I know ours gets flushed every year, and we're always aware of it. And so I think that continuation, but if there's a way for us to make sure that more people know, always welcome. It happens so quickly. It goes from no problem to a problem, and then we immediately respond. And we don't really understand the scope of it until we're completely done. And Mr. Mancini, to your point that this system was disturbed, is there an investigation ongoing as to what disturbed it? Yeah. Okay. Just so the public is aware of that. We're working on that. And that's not something your water district was doing. Yeah, we were doing a test on the disturbance. Right. So what you're doing right now, as Mr. Rothbaugh was saying, is you're doing a flush to correct the problem that was created by this disturbance. Yeah, to make the system less susceptible to disturbance like this in the future, we've flushed the eastern side of Riverhead for nearly the hundred years we've been around, but the western side of Riverhead is relatively new with new piping. And up until now, the Water District has never had a formal flushing program. So over the last week, my staff, mostly Dan Keller, has, we have to go through the entire distribution system. And in order to run water through the main two different directions, we end up locating and operating hundreds of valves. So it's a real engineering endeavor to look at the entire distribution system and say, okay, now we identify the valves. And now all week we've been going to those valves and making sure they're accessible. The box isn't filled with debris. It's not broken. and the valve actually operates so that when we get out there, we're going to run a 12-hour shift at night with multiple crews, so we don't want to be dragging compressors around and stuff at night. So the first one is a massive endeavor. Moving forward, we're going to learn a little bit, and it should go much smoother moving forward with a much better notification. You do great work, sir. Thank you, guys. Thank you for doing everything you can to correct the issue that took place up at Wade River. I would just say if the public does see anybody going to fire hydrants, please notify the water authority, the police department right away. See individuals going to the hydrants and using them. They should be getting a permit from the Riverhead Water District so we can control what hydrants they use and when. Definitely. Well, thank you. Thank you for coming in and explaining that to the residents. Awesome. Thank you, guys. Any comments or questions from the council? I'm very aware of what's going on. Thanks, Frank. Thank you. Thanks for the update. All right. So our next agenda item is our pre-final agenda with packet with CDA. There are no resolutions, so we'll move right into Devin doing resolutions. Our deputy supervisor with resolutions. Board, ready?

Okay. Resolution number one, budget adoption of community benefit funds for open space project. 2. Highway Department Capital Project No. 52621, National Grid Road Restoration Budget Adoption 3. Water District Capital Project No. 82308, Well No. 5-2A, Budget Adjustment 4. Water Capital Project No. 82335, 437-483, Young's Avenue Landfill Solar Project Closure Number five, adopts highway department budget transfer for drainage repairs. Number six, authorizes amendment number one to the 2027 preliminary budget. So I have been working with private financial advisors and then as well with our town financial advisor, Jeanette. I have submitted the next six amendments to the preliminary budget so that the general public knows where we're at. The supervisor's budget had a tax increase of 2.79% on the tax levy. Through these next resolutions, I am reducing the tax levy by 35%, and we are coming down to 1.79%. We have did really great over the past few years towards investment on returns for the fund balance. So the first resolution, we are going to utilize funds. So this equipment will be purchased, but it will be purchased through a one-time fund balance transfer so that our building and grounds, our fire marshal vehicles, those items through invested returns of $4.8 million last year, which we're using $1.2 million towards upgrading our building department, and that's going to be the digitization. So everybody's getting what they want, but when you have invested returns and you are continuously putting it in fund balance and fund balance is growing, at that point that money, that invested balance belongs to the taxpayers, and so we don't want to overtax in any way. So we can utilize some of those returns. So as we go through the next few resolutions and this particular one, we're going to use the invested returns on it. So we are lowering spending and we are now through the next six resolutions to the amendments to the budget. We are going to reduce the tax levy by 35 percent increase. And so we're going from 2.79 down to 1.79. So that's great work. and I'm going to also take a moment to thank my town board members, Councilwoman Merrifield, Councilwoman Waski, Councilman Kern, and we've all worked tirelessly on this over the past few weeks once the supervisor's budget, preliminary budget was announced. So I think together we've done great work in reference to our taxpayers.

Resolution number seven authorizes amendment number two to the 2027 preliminary budget. these are primarily merit raises for employees for across the living so when the supervisor did his budget the highway workers are getting certain animals are getting my raises are also through the CSC contract but what often happens is the office personnel doesn't get that with their contract so they end up being kind of left behind so we're making sure that they're also able to keep up with the cost of living and so there's no unfair treatment to any employees so these employees work within the highway department and everybody deserves the same ability for a cost of living increase and so that should be included in the budget as well as an amendment okay resolution number eight authorizes amendment number three to the 2027 preliminary budget so again this is a fund balance appropriate increase on revenue so over the last few months we've got more accurate numbers so we are using uh the earnings to lower the tax levy from 2.79 to 1.79 again that 35% reduction and so these are updated anticipated revenues does increase the tax levy for the residents I think that's that's great in the building inspection fees those aren't realized yet but they are anticipated they are anticipated and so I'm excited about being able to use where we raise those fees back up from where you guys have lowered himself well it's exciting as councilman Rothwell just said they are realized yeah accurate numbers in addition I also want to take a moment to mention that councilman Kern has done phenomenal working towards upgrading updating should I say all of our town-wide fees for everything for appropriate so we do have things that are falling in under the building department planning department he has worked greatly to an extent to bring us up to date for some of the fees that again some men's work over the last few years getting every department up to date and eventually like to start a new year where we have a set increase you know cost of living increase for fees for the town so that individually continuously address thank you again this is also highway clerical again these individuals were left out of the budget and so all highway employees should be treated equally the same and so one falls under the highway budget and one falls under the general fund budget because of the difference in their titles and so we want them to be treated equals the other highway employees well actually with this one I know the highway supervisor came back after the budget had already been presented and asked for an additional one so only one of those had been done but I think that is correct I think we left them out of the budget I just would like to finish I think always opportunity we use the resources I stand behind the budget I presented and we could always increase the ability to pay other people more we have the fringe benefits that the five of us received that I know before I came in office I wasn't even aware of and and so I think we could always look at not increasing that or even removing it. I didn't take it myself because I didn't know about it and being able to pay our employees more. But I do like being able to pay our employees what they deserve and more. So, great. These individuals were left out of your budget and so and all our workers, including Clarko, should be treated equally so. And you made a misstatement, sir. I don't take any fringe benefits. I have my own medical plan and such, so I'm not taking any other fringe benefits at the town hall. Sorry. Okay, resolution number 10 authorizes amendment number 5 to the 2027 preliminary budget. Again, this one addresses our street lighting account. So we have an over substantial amount of excess funds in street lighting with too much money sitting in there. So we don't need to continue to overtax our residents. Over the past few years, we've built up that account. In addition, we are utilizing funds so that people know we are doing a great project. yesterday afternoon was a great day the Suffolk County legislator approved our beautification downtown revitalization grant for the duck pond so we received that grant yesterday so even after taking out the portion of the lighting in there and it's not what people know it's not like highway decorative light you know it's not highway street lighting that's going in there but it's more of a decorative kind of lighting a little ambience for safety to just around the Duck Pond area. It's going to make it really beautified. I thank the county executive and the Suffolk County legislator for approving our grant application which we approved yesterday. But there is a substantial amount of street lighting funding that we are not utilizing. So we can use some of the fund balance in addition if there are other projects that do come up over the next year. We are definitely well overfunded in that reserve balance. So the interest earnings can now we can use to reduce the tax And I agree with you a thousand percent here as far as being able to use that and I've definitely seen that when I came in Office at that that had been over tax for years So I agree and in fact I've asked our engineering to look at there's two street lights that they're working at one is in Jamesport That can test in his team are working on and the other one is at the middle school where they're looking at redoing those lights That our engineering department said they get the most complaints about they feel that are the most viable to be updated So so yeah, and anything that's going to help the taxpayers Sure. Resolution number 11 authorizes amendment number 6 to the 2027 preliminary budget. So this here is we are putting aside funds for the CSEA workers to potentially negotiate with the supervisor. Only the supervisor can negotiate with the union president and the union workers for the CSEA budget. We wanted to make sure that funding is available. So their dental plan has not covered a lot of the expenses of the CSEA workers. And so it's been a little frustrating to them over time. So we wanted to allocate. So we are allocating $120,000 to be set aside to be utilized through negotiations of the supervisor to make amendments or an MOA to the CSEA workers' budget. So we can't negotiate that as a town board. Only a supervisor can. But what the town board can do is allocate the funding and set it aside so it is there, it is available to renegotiate that contract. Okay, resolution number 12, accepts donation of grateful turnout, a public thank you to First Responder Sculpture for downtown Riverhead. She's done an awesome job on that. Thank you very much. She's even invited people to come and help do it. It was great, great stuff. Number 13 accepts donation from the GM dealer programs for PIL football and cheerleading. Number 14 appoints public safety dispatcher to the police department. Number 15 appoints Carrie Figurniak to the helicopter noise task force. Thank you, Carrie, for joining us. Number 16 appoints Patricia Berry to the helicopter noise task force. Patricia for her work. Number 17 appoints Claudette Bianco to the helicopter noise task force. That's for your new member, thank you. Number 18 reappoints John Cullen to the helicopter noise task force. I'm a fearless leader. Number 19 reappoints Sid Bale to the helicopter noise task force. Sid. Number 20 reappoints Connie Carlin to the helicopter noise task force. That's a tough job on the helicopter task force, because our hands are quite limited towards what we can do, other than continuously advocate to our New York, our U.S. Senators, Chuck Schumer and Senator Gillibrand, as well as Congressman Lota. So they have been doing that. We've sent out letters to them, but it's a tough task to try to change that. Number 21, ratifies the resignation of a maintenance mechanic two. Number 22, ratifies the termination of a maintenance mechanic three. Number 23, amends order establishing extension of number 97 of boundaries and facilities of the Riverhead Water District for Forge Road, Calverton, New York, at the properties known as Suffolk County Tax Pamp number 600, section 118, block 5, lots 1.1, 1.2, and 2, through 11 and 12.1, section 119, block 2, lots 59 through 62, and section 139, block 1, lots 1 through 4. Number 24, authorize the supervisor to sign a license agreement with Bold Broadcasting LLC, DBA Bold Media. Number 25, authorize the supervisor to execute an intermunicipal agreement between the town of Riverhead and the Riverhead Central School District for purchase of sand-salt mixture. I have this one explained just so I know what this is about. Yes, so we do this every year. I know that Jeanette can explain it in more detail, but there's an agreement between the town and the school district. As I understand it, we provide the sand a certain amount of quantity, and we charge them a certain amount per bucket load or more. Cubic yard. Did you want her to come forward? Anything more than that, we would need Jeanette. Talk to the details. Do you think they're the inverses? Okay, I was just checking. No, that's okay. That's okay. We can stand down, Jeanette. Number 26, authorizes the supervisor to execute an addendum to an agreement with Smalley Engineering, PC. Number 27, authorizes the supervisor to execute agreement with the CSEA Local 1000, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, Riverhead Unit of the Suffolk Local 852. Number 28, ratifies the authorization for the supervisor to sign a consultant professional services agreement with Teresa D. Philippus. Number 29, adopts the local law 2-MEN, Chapter 289 of the Riverhead Town Code, titled Vehicles, Traffic, and Parking Regulations, Article 2, Traffic Regulations. Number 30, authorizes town clerk to publish and post notice to bidders for used 2018 or later Yamaha 9.9 horsepower outboard motor. Number 31, awards bid for installation of water main and appurtenances, number 97, Forge Road. That's awesome. Number 32, we received an email this morning from the purchasing director that this resolution is not ready to move forward, needs to be pulled from the packet. Explain why. She indicated in her email that I guess there's a payment that's due that hasn't been received. That's all I know as of this time from the email that we received just a little while before work session this morning. Number 33, police disciplinary charges. Number 34, authorizes highway department charge back to Riverhead Water District for site work at the Riverhead Water District Wading River above ground storage tank. Number 35, approved special event chapter 255 application for bowl broadcasting LLC Riverhead Holiday Light Show. Number 36 pays the bills.

May I have a motion to go to executive? So moved. Seconded. All in favor? Aye. Thank you. Denise, you want to stay?

Thank you.
