Kilb defends nursery status

Town Board | Former supervisor sees evidence of employees there
BY PETER BOODY | EDITOR

Despite its forlorn and shabby appearance, the foreclosed Shelter Island Nursery property is in active use as a business, according to former Supervisor Alfred Kilb. He came to the Town Boards work session on Tuesday to report that hed seen employees going in and out and being issued paychecks by the people on a regular basis in the back building at the pre-existing, non-conforming business on St. Marys Road. Referring to an open space preservation deal reached in 2001, he said the town and county invested a tremendous amount of money in that property and put it in a certain status so it could succeed and that the town had an interest in seeing the nursery succeed as a business. The deal, initially negotiated by the Peconic Land

Trust, resulted in a 19-acre parcel preserved by the town and county as open space and the four-acre nursery site being kept available as a business property. The operation is suited to that location, Mr. Kilb said of the nursery. To take that use and eliminate it unjustly I think is wrong, he said, adding that maybe it could use a clean-up. No ones arguing that we take the use away unjustly, Supervisor Jim Dougherty said. Were arguing that we examine the issue. Thats part of our responsibility. The question of whether or not the business use had been discontinued, which legally would mean it could no longer operate in a residential zone, was an overriding issue as the nursery was discussed. Speaking of the bank and creditors that hold liens on the note on the property, Supervisor Jim DoughMORE NURSERY | 17

BY VERA CHINESE

Voters will be asked to decide this November whether or not the four-year terms of Town Board members should be reduced from four to two years, Town Board members informally agreed at their work session on Tuesday. Discussing a petition signed by about 160 residents and submitted to the board last week by Richard Kelly, the four board members at the work session all said theyd support a vote on the question even though they did not necessarily favor a cutback in the term of council members. If approved, the reduction would affect only

Taxpayers who live within the Riverhead School District will be asked to vote Oct. 11 on a $78.3 million bond proposal for infrastructure upgrades at district buildings and grounds. Residents will also be asked to consider a second proposition to build a $7 million gymnasium at Riverhead High School. After some disagreement among board members

on whether or not to include a new gym in the bond proposal, the school board on Tuesday night unanimously approved putting both measures which would include new classroom, lavatory, kitchen and cafeteria spaces, new roofs and windows as well as interior renovations at district schools up for vote. The $78 million plan is the nal recommendation of the Community Partnership for Revitalization team, which was made up of community members and district employees. The committee had met twice a month

since last October to put together the proposal. The CPR team worked very hard to put forth a proposal that is what the district needs with nothing extra, superintendent Nancy Carney said Friday. Under the $78 million plan presented, a taxpayer who lives in Riverhead Town and owns a medianpriced home would pay on average $185 extra per year for 20 years, according to district ofcials.

Long Islanders will face serious problems with their drinking water come 2050 if action isnt taken now to remedy a groundwater contamination dilemma that has signicantly increased over the past 18 years, environmentalists warned Monday. Representatives from the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Peconic Baykeeper and the Nature Conservancy met at Camp Olympia near the Carmans River in Yaphank to announce a slate of recommendations for the county to consider as it nalizes the recently completed Its a sad Suffolk County comprehensive water resources manageday for Long ment plan. The countys new study, Islanders when comparing 2005 data to that in its 1987 plan, found that these waters nitrogen contamination in become sour. both the upper glacial aquifer, the area closest to the Peconic baykeeper lands surface, and the MagKevin McAllister othy Aquifer, located below the upper glacial aquifer, has increased by more than one milligram per liter. But Long Island Pine Barrens Society executive director Richard Amper said the study fails to accurately reect the magnitude of those statics, because a one milligram per liter increase in nitrates correlates to a 40 percent increase in the upper glacial aquifer and a 200 percent increase in the largely pristine Magothy Aquifer. We are not saying that people should not drink their tap water, Mr. Amper said. But every Long Islander should be concerned about this trend. In addition to a decrease in drinking water quality, the study also shows that surface waters such as rivers, lakes and bays are also deteriorating.
