I discussed the issue with the Town Board at work session Tuesday and they agreed to move the public hearing to December 4th. The effort was to move it away from the Thanksgiving Holiday. I do not see any interest from the board to delay beyond that. Perhaps you can outline for the board the proposed changes that you believe they should move foward on and outline the ones that you believe should be evaluated more carefully. Any information/input you have you can get to me and I will foward it to the other members of the board. Also, it would be helpful to outline your concerns to the Trustees. Feel free to contact me.

I was there to hear any comments regarding the issue of the Tall Pines subdivision, since I live in the Hog Neck area. I thought that the meeting, which was attended by many residents of Southold, was handled exceptionally well by Scott Russell. I was very impressed by the fairness that he extended to both sides. Many times when he was confronted by unreasonable people, he responded in a calm, professional manner. It does not surprise me at all that Mr. Russell will postpone any proposed changes to Chapter 275. He seems to want to work very hard for all of us in all aspects of our daily lives. I look forward to any meetings regarding Chapter 275 at Town Hall. I recently attended the Board Meeting on October 9th at Town Hall regarding possible changes to the animal code.

He suggested that he will speak to the Trustees Monday and try to move this discussion to next Spring or Summer. But he said it was scheduled at the first opportunity because the Trustees wanted to get this moving. If he is not able to change the hearing then he will set aside time at the next Board meeting for us to come in and discuss the timing of this and work something out. I mentioned that I thought they were not utilizing our website to full advantage. We have had questions and concerns about 275 up for several months with hardly a peep from them in answer or response. I will advise as this progresses.

The admendments were placed on the agenda because the Trustees had asked us to move foward with this legislation. There was no deliberate effort here to pick an inconvenient time and place. Actually I never even thought of Thanksgiving until I read it here. My understanding is that several of the proposed changes were to create a fairer and more expedious application process. Would a representative like to come to the Town Board to discuss the timing of the hearing? Please advise Scott (w) 765-1889.
