001to East Hampton Town Board. We are live. Thank you, LTV. Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the East Hampton Town Board meeting of Thursday, June 5th, 2025. Carol, if you could please read the roll call. Present. Present. If we could all stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So this evening we have the swearing in of six East Hampton Town police officers which we're very excited and we thank you all for joining us tonight. That will be followed by seven public hearings, public portion and then town board resolutions. Before we start, we're going to hear from our town historian, Hugh King. Welcome, Hugh. Thank you
002for inviting all these people to hear me speak. Okay, it's standing room only for you tonight. I I want to report as town historian, I went to a very important history conference at the Clam Bar. Children, hold your ears. This was sponsored by the Piss Clam Bunch, which is another name for steamers. Okay. And the we spent two hours eating clams, uh oysters, and other seafood delights. The participants were former councilman Dick White, former East Ton Town policeman Charlie Mauricei, Herb from Herb's Market, and two former police chiefs, Tom Scott and Eddie Eker. There was so much lying going on I don't know much history that I landed all at this thing. All right, that's not why I'm here. On June 13th, 1942, Nazi sabaturs landed on the beach in Amig answered, "Well, what does
003the Nazi sabotur landing have to do with Jahoover or Frank Ek in the Elmree Tavern or the Eastampton Star or John Cullen or Ira Baker in the Ambigster train station or Carl Janette or George John Dash or Franklin Delanor Roosevelt or President Harry Truman?" Well, using documents that have been kept under wraps by the FBI for over 30 years, the reenactment will tell you the untold story using these FBI boxes, which include testimonials, letters, trial summations, newspaper accounts, presidential edicts, FBI secret files, and other which will alter and illuminate the story. Thanks to Jeannie Henderson with a help of Isabelle Carmichael, you will be there. That's Friday, June 13th at the Amigst at Life Station Save at 6 P 6 PM. Be there or be square. Have a good one. Thank you. So, I want
004to begin by thanking our officers for their service and by recognizing the families and friends who are here tonight. Your support makes a real difference and it reminds us that no one serves alone. East Hampton is a strong and caring community and nights like this show us why. Because behind every promotion is not just an individual's effort, but the people and values that lift them up. So, now we're going to move on to the swearing in ceremony. Chief, did you want to do an introduction? I can't really say it better than you just did and I appreciate you taking the time out of your meeting to let us recognize these outstanding officers for their accomplishments and their promotions to supervisory positions. Um I I too echo your sentiments and thanking the families. This profession is
005a calling to service and it requires a strong support network behind you. the nights, the weekends, the holidays, the on call, um the regular stressors of what we see from day to day require a support system and none of us could do what we do without the families we have behind us.

[Laughter] Everyone's really pumped about that management plan. There. Yes. All right. I think we're going to get started. Not such an audience for Scott. Carol, if you could please read the first meeting notice. The public hearings will be held live and in person by the town board and will be available electronically by video and teleconferencing and will be televised on local TV channel 22 and available for liveream on the LTV website. The public shall be permitted to appear in person but may also provide comments on the matter by being heard by calling 3518886331. Any person or party wishing to be heard with respect to the foregoing may

Comments may also be submitted to the town clerk by email to crennan.gov. All comments must be received by the town clerk by the date and time of the public hearing. Please check the meeting agenda posted on the town's website for any changes and for updated information. Notice is hereby given that the town board of the town of East Hampton will hold a public hearing on Thursday, June 5th, 6 p.m. or soon thereafter as this matter may be heard to consider comments of all persons on the proposed draft management plan for the Parson's Dodge Homestead located at 803 and 807 Fireplace Road, Suffach County
012Tax Map 363 4 2 3 4 and 5. The full text of the management plan is available for inspection on the town's website or at the town clerk's office. Thank you, Carol. Scott, you want to do an introduction of Sure. A quick one. A quick one. So, I'm here to talk about the Parsons Dodge homestead draft management plan. The town acquired this 11acre property located on 803 and 807 Fireplace Road for historic open space, agricultural, and recreational purposes. The town also dedicated this property in historic landmark, the Julius D. Parsons Homestead on June 6, 2023. Just a quick quote from that resolution. The Dodge property has the characteristics specified in 255-7-25A of the town code. The homestead containing the 1880 main house and barn and purportedly Henry Mitchell home that was moved to this property
013along with the family cemetery and significant farm acreage makes this an exceptional property for recalling the agrarian history of springs. This property possesses special character, historic and aesthetic interest and value as part of the cultural, economic, and social history of East Hampton and embodies the distinguishing characteristics of building types, periods, and methods of construction. The Dodge property and its structures therefore qualifies for designation as a historic landmark. This this management plan like all our plans follows a basic guideline including an introduction, description of the site, access and parking, general management goals and objectives, recommended improvements, permitted uses and restrictions. Each plan also contains supporting documents such as photos, uh resolution to acquire a survey, and in this case a report by Robert Hefner's uh historic preservation report and the Edward Cemetery report. The information becomes
014a valuable guide for future management of a property. The primary concepts, plans, and intentions are found in the management goals and objectives section of each plan. The plan notes that there are a number of structures and distinct areas on the property, each having been identified in the plan, each allowing the town board a broad range of uses and some flexibility. There's a cottage, a barn, house, vacant adjacent acre, forest land in the rear of the property, and the Ever Cemetery. Why flexibility? Post adoption of the management plan, the town plans to introduce a request for proposals to the community as we are eager to hear plans and ideas for the use of the property. That dates to be determined when when we put out the RFP. Therefore, the plan contemplates one or more lenses are
015working with a farmer, a 501c3, contemplates a woodman woodland or multi-use path. It also contemplates some shared parking with other historic properties, namely the Springs Library, the Blacksmith Shop, Ashwa Hall, and Springs Church. As a former farmstead, often the backbone of many small communities, this unique property lends itself to any and all of these purposes, or a combination thereof, hence the flexibility. Uh, let's see. The draft plan was available on the town's website. Ian actually presented this initially at the town board work session in April 15th. And I don't know, Ian, did you want to add a little to that background? or did you want to go through the plan in any any way? No, I think you did great. Thank you. Okay. I haven't had any public comment. So, the form that you have
016it now is the form that was presented at the work session. Terrific. Thank you, Scott. Is there anyone here that would like to address the board on this? Prudence. Yay. Welcome, Prudence. Thank you. This is not actually why I came. But um I do want to say that uh I worked uh with the family with both boys. I went I think of them as boys who I went to school with. And one day um Brian and I went down to clean out the barn. We may have been the last people to walk in the barn unless Scott went in there. I don't know. But uh up in the back of a hay mole in the back of the barn where Brian had to climb up a ladder with me screaming at him cuz the ladder
017was rickety. He came down with six large books and they smelled bad. But we put them in the back of Brian's truck and we took them to the farm museum knowing very well the farm museum was not the right place for these. But uh the boys, you know, were under some duress getting the the property cleaned out and we took them with their permission. About 6 months later, Dr. Allison McGovern, our archaeologist, looked at the books and said basically, "Oh my god, 1785 documents for ledgers for everything that anybody in East Hampton ever bought or sold, all these books." So at that point I took them to the East Hampton Library uh knowing that they have access to gardener funds and we do not because of CPF. We are CPF property. We can't get gardener
018funds and knowing that the books needed to be at least cleaned up and preserved professionally so that people like Allison could look at them and other people could look at them. So luckily uh Dennis at the library said, "I'll get a grant from the Gardener Foundation and fix these books up for you, but I need you need to keep them in your name, which they are still in my name." And that process uh deurinated them and cleaned them up so that other people can look at them safely. it. They are ledgers starting from 1795 with every chip and every purchase from the 1770 house store, not from the Springs store. Now, this is where all the families, as Scott knows, in Springs come into play because uh Mary Louise Dodge was originally, as you know,
019in Edwards Parsons, there were some town images wound up in there, too. And apparently somebody said when they closed the 1770 house door, what are we going to do with these ledgers? And somebody said, "Oh, give them to Mary Louise. She'll put them in the barn." Well, that's apparently what she did. And now they are out of the barn and they are in permanent repository in the East Hampton Library and will be shown will be shown uh at some point to the public at large as documents of every servant, slave, and property owner in East Hampton who bought anything at the 1770 House store. They are quite unique and I'm glad my husband had the courage to go the ladder and drag them down. I'm glad that uh Mary Louisa's sons in their rush said
020go ahead take them and you know we were thinking they were spring store documents but they're East Hampton and they're very very precious and they have now being well taken care of and they will eventually which you probably know more than I do about this when there is more room available for the library to display things and they will be at pride of place in East Hampton showing every resident and what they bought all through the years 1785 through 1890. So I feel I've done my little piece for the Mary Louise Dodge property by saving those and and getting them in proper condition. And I think at some point they they will make you very proud. Thank you. Thank you, Prudence. For the record, nobody else is allowed to climb that ladder. I've seen No,
021they put a bolt on the door now. So, Jason, is there anyone on the line? Yes, we have one caller on the line. Give me one moment. Hello, caller. Ending 324.

025conditions and limitations. adjoining property proposed to be used for outdoor dining must be zoned to allow for restaurant use or to allow for such special permit. Thank you, Carol. Jason, is there anyone on the line that like would like to speak to this public hearing? We'll go check right now. All right. And hello caller ending 3244. You're on the air. Hi. Yeah, Martin Drew Springs again. Uh what a nice topic. That's the reason I'm calling in is about this outdoor outdoor dining stuff that's in our area uh particularly at Rita Cantina where they're operating I guess uh in that function without a CFO in place. So uh that's going to be part of my public comments that I was waiting for. But I guess uh I kind of was disconnected so I lost the first
026part of that uh explanation of the law. What is this law pertaining to exactly? It's an extension of our uh it's a extension of our PI pilot program for outdoor dining. Well, I got to tell you that I would uh be opposed to that because apparently you're not uh staying on top of it, especially in the situation in our area where you allowed a business to expand without proper parking for the restaurant itself and then you're going to allow expansion for outside dining. It just doesn't seem to fit when you do the math. So, uh I would oppose this law right now if if that's the case. But anyway, I'll save my other comments for the public comments as well. No worries. But I oppose this if it's affecting people's neighborhoods the way it's affecting
027ours. Okay. Uh we have no other callers on the line. Second. All in favor? Carol, if you could please read the fifth meeting notice.

So, those are all of our public hearings for tonight and we do have a public sign on sign up list and Prudence Caribine you're back up. Welcome again, Prudence. Thank you very much. Uh, as I I spoke to you, Kathy, about uh a little while ago, uh, Bruce Springsteen is making some comments about world events and they rang bells for me. So, I thought I would just repeat uh a couple of his sentences.
034In my home, the America I love has been a beacon of hope for the world for 250 years. But lately, it has been tested in ways that should concern us all. The reason this affected me so deeply is some of you probably know well because I'm not shy about saying it that uh my middle names are Hamilton and that means that I have ancestors who work with George Washington to throw the English out of East Hampton and New York and the colonies. and they did that quite effectively between the spies and the the military people. Um I also in 1969 married a man named Brian Patrick Caribine from County Mayo that means we are married 56 years. Ireland didn't like the queen and the king either so they got rid of them. It was bloody.
035It was horrible and there have been a lot of plays and poetry written about it. But if you look at last week's Star and you see my husband on the front cover putting flags on graves of people who have died in war, you understand what these things mean to us. We had a Marine Corps son who died of a brain tumor, as David knows too well. We also had another son who managed to deal with kings quite well in the Middle East because it was his job in the Marine Corps as a major managing Marines in the Middle East. So, he dealt with them. Uh I don't have to. My husband doesn't have to. Um these things are deeply ingrained in both Brian and me about what's going on in this country today. Now, maybe
036we'll just let Elon take the whole thing down. I don't know. But right now, I think it's important for me to say because I don't protest. I don't uh feel that that's a comfortable thing for me to do. And um my husband stopped me in 1969 when I was going to protest the Vietnam War. And he said, "Wait a minute. I just got back from that. Don't protest that." So, I didn't. But I think it's important to read Bruce Springsteen's message. So at the end of the day, all we have got is each other and the vote. And I'm looking forward to voting again. So I just wanted to leave that as a public statement of my feelings about what it means to serve this country and to serve it unto death. Tomorrow is Dday
037anniversary and my dad died the same day my husband proposed to me in Southampton Hospital in 1969 of injuries that he received on D-Day. Now it's not in vogue anymore to talk about these things, I realize, but I'm talking. It's my life. It's my history. And I hope that people think very carefully about how they how they use their most important gift and that is their vote. Thank you. Thank you, Prudence. Thank you, Prudence. Okay, Jason, we've got a caller on the line. Yes, we do. And I'm muting them now. All right. 3244, you're back on. Oh, thank you. Martin Drew, uh, Springs. Yeah, I wanted to, uh, address my comments as for the record. Uh, Madam Supervisor, I know you'd like to defer answering my questions about the situation at Maidstone Acres, also known
038as Rita Cantina. So, maybe I should defer this to the newly appointed town attorney. Um, and I would be Mr. Jake Turner. And Mr. Jake Turner, congratulations on your new appointment, sir. And uh I just want to have a a question and answer session about how many adjournments has the town of East Hampton agreed to to let this uh situation linger for it's going on four years now. And now that uh we realize they've uh uh I guess used up all their time in the planning process. I think they were given 18 months to get a CFO together and they haven't. So now we ask, how are they going to continue to operate without a CFO when the CFO is required for the outdoor dining permit? And then there are the problems with uh you
039know the access to our town park uh the parking issues, the lack of parking on the facility. Uh the the situation that they added a residential vacant lot uh to the commercial footprint and then they want to convince everyone that this was an entirely pre-existing uh pre nonconforming situation, which it's not. And then uh the sad part is to know that all of our planning departments didn't focus on on-site parking for a place that has no parking and has relied on street parking for the last decade. So we wanted to bring it to your attention that uh it's still ongoing and uh we're asking as the concerned citizens of our area that a stop work order be issued until they get their uh legals in order because apparently uh this has gotten way out of
040control. So, uh, we're looking for, uh, control to happen. And, uh, while we had the police there today, I just wanted to thank the the chief for all his hard work that he does, the tireless work he does for our community. So, I'm hoping he'll uh lobby uh you as his colleagues and bosses to uh to guide him accordingly to help us control and you know retake our area for uh the traffic uh the pedestrian hazards, the illegal parking in the rightways, uh the perpendicular parking. There's a lot of stuff here that just isn't adding up and no one seems to be doing anything except pointing a finger to another department that they don't have any authority because we're tied up in a lawsuit. So, my question would be, when is this lawsuit coming to
041an end? And why does the Miller Brothers lawsuit affect the uh I guess the adjudication of 30 plus other violations that are outstanding now for four years? So, uh, I'm hoping that Scott Wilson will open a dialogue with the owners to, uh, maybe present this to the town as a willing seller so that we can buy it as the CPF, community preservation fund, with the funds that are for this type of acquisition. And be reminded in our area, you guys tore down uh, Cox's fishing station. You tore down my grandparents place across the street that ended up in Tony Lupos's control. Uh, four apartments people were thrown in the street. Nobody seemed to care. But uh so we're we're hoping for a solution here because this the season as they say and uh we're hoping
042this doesn't continue without the town watching out for its constituents and putting this to an end with a stop work order effective immediately until they resolve their legal. And if anyone wants to get back to me in writing, I'd appreciate it because we have no other alternative but to start seeking legal counsel because our elected officials are failing us. But anyway, thank you for your time. Hope you have a good evening. Thank you, Martin. All right, we have no other callers. Okay, so we're going to move on to resolutions. Tom, if you start us off, supervisor. Yes. Uh resolution 2025807. This is approval on claims on warrant um utility warrant 6A in the amount of 5,68,556.25 and $71,956.667. Second. All in favor?
