will further each policy. Incomplete answers will require that the form be returned for
completion.
DEVELOPED COAST POLICY
Policy 1. Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community
character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a
coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. See LWRP Section III —Policies;
Page 2 for evaluation criteria.
X Yes No Not Applicable
This project maintains the longstanding nature of docking facilities at this site, simply replacing
two sets of pulley tie-off systems with shared finger piers for the same 16 patrons. No change in
use or facility capacity, simply better though still minimal.
Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. See
LWRP Section HI—Policies Page 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
There are no historic or archaeological features or resources on this site.
2
Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold.
See LWRP Section III—Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria
Yes No X Not Applicable
There will be no noticeable difference to the vista or aesthetics due to the low profile nature of the
floating finger piers which are below the lines of the berthed boats and there will be no change to
the number of slips or boats accommodated.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See
LWRP Section III—Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X I Not Applicable
This project will not in any way threaten life or natural resources nor will it create hazards of
flooding or erosion. This pier will be built stout and able to withstand the anticipated exposures to
windward waves.
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP
Section III—Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X ' Not Applicable
This project will not have any affect on suitability of or availability of drinking water on Fishers Island.
Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems
including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III —
Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria.
X Yes No Not Applicable
The project is consistent with this posily because it proposed no change to boating accommodations in
terms of numbers or types of boats with no adverse impacts on tidal or submerged vegetation is anticipated
as a result of the proposed floating docks. In additions, the NYS DEC prepared a study showing that the
proposed pressure treated Southern Pine timber products construction materials are suitable for this type
of project in this location, except for decking which will be of untreated woods or composite (or plastic)
materials. As mentioned earlier, the design parameters shown on the drawings provides and optimum
balance between acceptable design and access standards without depriving the wetlands vegetation the
opportunity to spread.
Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III —
Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
There are no air quality issues related to this project. No emissions will be generated by the dock
facility. "

Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and
hazardous substances and wastes. See LWRP Section III — Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for
evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
There is no solid waste or hazardous substances to be generated from this project. The pressure-
treated wood trimmings from the dock construction will be collected and disposed of in
accordance with current regulations so as to minimize any harmful affect.
PUBLIC COAST POLICIES
Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and
public resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III—Policies; Pages 38 through 46
for evaluation criteria.
X Yes No Not Applicable
This project is being built emanating from an existing authorized dock facility. The public trust
lands and waters constitute the area between the mean high-water line and the mean low water
line and the resources are from the high tide line, out. These environmental resources are being
protected by the design standards dictated y the NYSDEC. There is virtually no public use of the
waterfront in this area and the reconstruction of the pier and landward extensions above the
apparent high water line are not likely to influence or change this fact.
WORKING COAST POLICIES „ ,
Policy 10. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water-dependent
uses in suitable locations. See LWRP Section III — Policies; Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation
criteria.
X Yes No Not Applicable
This proposed project is to build finger piers for safer utility of water dependent, recreation and
transportation boating. This usage is defined as water dependent in the LWRP because the finger
piers will be for recreational boating and proved occasional boat transportation access to the
mainland.

NARRATIVE STATEMENT& SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
FISHERS ISLAND YACHT CLUB,FISHERS ISLAND MARINA,LLC
WEST HARBOR,FISHERS ISLAND
DOCK MODIFICATIONS
APRIL 2021
GENERAL
The project is at parcel 1000-010-1-9, owned by the Fishers Island Development Company, off of
Central Avenue located along the west shore of West Harbor on Fishers Island. The site is flat to gently
sloped, sandy, gravel earthen materials, vegetated with grass, brush, ground cover and trees. A dock
facility has existed and been operated at this site for recreational boating and transportation to and from
the mainland since the 1930's. The frontage of the property is approximately 300 feet along West
Harbor abutted by the Goose Island Corporation to the north and Trevor&McPherson to the west. The
waterfront consists of a rock revetment lined shore along the east, tidal wetlands fringe vegetation at
the base of the gently sloped tree-lined terrace to the south and west of the dock facilities.
The objective of this project is to optimize the geometry and usefulness of the dock facilities including
minor modifications to the dock facilities at the sailing program dock and the middle dock. Attached
are application drawings prepared for this project. This project is basically a reinstatement of previous
Town of Southold Permits 8125 and 8125C to a point similar to the original approval and a modification
'to NYS DEC Permit 1-4738-01110/00009 and US Army Corps of Engineers Permit No. NAN-2013-
01160 with the exception of the very minor dock modifications.Authorization is again requested for all
of the previously approved dock modifications since the permits were issued and, in the case of
Southold Permits 8125 and 8125C, dredging in the amount of 1500 (+/-) CY has been accomplished
and the small boat crane has been installed.
This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Town of
Southold, Ordinance No. 6, 2004, and the Waterfront Revitalization Program related to docks and
shorefront improvements. In addition, various coastal policies under the New York State Coastal
Management Act are addressed herein for review by the New York State Department of State and
Department of Environmental Conservation.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
This proposed project is to remove 90+/-LF-of line mooring including associated piles, install eight new
24+/-LF x 4-FT wide finger floats with associated restraint piles and tie off/fender piles, four each at
existing tee floats waterward of the Apparent High-Water line.
MOORING FACILITIES AND DOCK MODIFICATIONS
In accordance with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Environmental Questionnaire, the following
additional information is provided.
1. There is one change proposed to the existing and previously permitted dock facilities as shown
on the attached drawings, and that is the installation of new finger piers to replace pulley tie-off
lines on the middle and south docks.
1
2. The application drawings depict some berthed boats to the extent possible at various facilities
around the site possible without interfering with the necessary call-outs and dimensions for the
various structures.
3. The Fishers Island Yacht Club operates this dock facility;there are no repair or storage services
at the site.There are pump-out facilities at Pirates Cove providing service and fueling on Fishers
Island as well as marinas along the Connecticut shoreline. There is also a pump-out boat from
Connecticut near the mouth of the Mystic River serving boats in the mooring field, which can
and does serve the Club patrons as well. It is believed that no new or additional pump-out
facilities are necessary at the Fishers Island Marina and the Town of Southold and the NYS
DOS have agreed to that in past and present permits.
4. Adjacent marine structures including piers,docks,wharves,bulkheads and moorings are shown
on the attached application drawings both sheets 1 and 2.
5. Wave protection is not considered to be necessary at this site. Because of the natural protection
provided by West Harbor, there is no fetch over which waves can be generated from the
northwest counter-clockwise all the way to the east. Nor'easters and strong northeasterly winds
can generate significant waves in West Harbor however it has been generally agreed that a wave
attenuator in West Harbor would not be justified to protect these facilities. This facility has
operated at this site since the mid-1930's. Wave protection is provided to the shoreline facilities
at the site by the revetment along the lawn and the bulkhead to the north and no further changes
to the revetment are considered necessary at this time.
6. There is no bulkheading, bank stabilization, or filling activities associated with this project;
revetment and non-vegetated buffer improvements were already permitted and are substantially
complete.
DREDGING-NOT APPLICABLE
LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION POLICIES
The Town of Southold, LWRP policies that are applicable to the Fishers Island Yacht Club dock
operation are a local refinement of the Long Island Sound Regional Coastal Management Program
policies that apply throughout Long Island Sound under the Coastal Zone Management program
administered by the NYS Department of State. The dredging issues are covered in the document
referenced above. The site is in West Harbor on Fishers Island and is characterized as Developed Coast
on the east shore at the Hay Harbor Club site to the parcel north and south shore and currently
undeveloped coast or natural coast on the'west shore. The developed coast policies are applicable as
follows:
➢ Policy 1 is to foster a pattern of development that enhances community character and preserves
natural resources to the maximum extent and minimizes adverse impacts on the environment,
➢ Policy 2 is to preserve historic resources,
➢ Policy 3 is to enhance and protect scenic resources and visual quality.
The docks are consistent with waterfront development in coastal areas on Fishers Island. The existing
"Sea Stretcher" dock modifications were for a very special emergency use. This project is to improve
16 dock accommodations to maintain maximum safe access consistent with other adjacent dock
facilities consistent with characteristics for the visual and scenic considerations in the harbor. The
2
encroachment has been minimized as much as possible to be consistent with DEC policies.The existing
structures are as low profile as possible, consistent with the safe and efficient use of the waters and
consistent with the boating season tidal range of this site and the special requirements of the four
permitting agencies.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
The Natural Coastal Policies are 4 through 8 and require consideration as follows:,
➢ Policy 4—Minimize loss of life, structures and natural resources from flooding and erosion,
➢ Policy 5—Protect and improve water quality,
➢ Policy 6—Protect and restore the quality and function of the eco-system,
➢ Policy 7—Protect and improve air quality,
➢ Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation primarily from solid waste and hazardous
substances.
The dock facility has existed in the current configuration for decades. As such, it provides adequate
height to clear environmental resources of concern and the materials to be utilized are consistent with
Town of Southold's Local Law#6 regarding environmental quality. There will be no adverse impacts
on air quality as a result of these dock facilities.
PUBLIC COAST POLICIES
Policy 9 sets forth a priority to provide for public access and recreational use of coastal waters, public
lands and public resources of the Town. This project maintains recreational boating facilities and
provides sailing instruction for hundreds of Island families and so is consistent with this policy.
WORKING COAST POLICIES
The policies of this section relate to the following:
➢ Policy 10—Protection of the Town's water-dependent uses and promoting new water-dependent
uses in suitable locations,
➢ Policy 11 —Promoting sustainable use of living marine resources,
➢ Policy 12—Protect agricultural lands,
➢ Policy 13 —Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral resources.
While most of the Working Coast Policies are not applicable to this site or this type of project, Policy
10, promoting water-dependent uses and the siting of water-dependent uses in appropriate areas is
applicable and the proposed project makes the most beneficial use of the land and dock facilities.
This project has been laid out with specific reference to and review of the Waterfront Revitalization
Program policies and is considered to be consistent.
In summary, the docks are typical of recreational boating facilities throughout the area and all along
coastal New England. The structures have been minimized in size, height, and structure so as to be
consistent with other facilities of a similar nature and the minimum necessary components to
accommodate safe and efficient boating operations and limited services from this site. This project
does not change existing encroachment or accommodations and does not interfere with public access
or use of Public Trust Waters and Lands of the State, it does not interfere with navigation, it will not
create soil or sedimentation and dredging will not create erosion problems. The piers do not adversely
affect environmental resources in the area where the facility must span the shallow sub-tidal zone at the
3
shore line, the facility retains its alignment in the area where environmental resources are naturally
minimal so as not to worsen any of these conditions. The height of various access piers allows
vegetation growth along the shoreline by tidal wetlands plants if other conditions are conducive to such
growth.
There is almost no vegetation on the muddy sandy and gravelly bottom sediments within the confines
of the dock facility as shown in the attached aerial photos. The benthic habitat is probably stressed due
to boating activity, as most marina basins are. While the bottom will be disrupted during the boating
season, it is anticipated, based on our experience on other projects, that benthic dwellers including
mollusks,and crustaceans will re-establish the - area immediately; but the benthos will probably
only return to its current levels of productivity and diversity. Thus it is anticipated that there will be no
long term loss of valuable marine and wetland habitat and no water quality degradation as a result of
this project.
No natural protective features or processes will be adversely impacted as a result of the proposed dock
work. This project is consistent with zoning policies and ordinances for the Town. There will be no
development of the upland related to this dock facility that will create point sources of pollution or
drainage. The previously established 10-FT non-vegetated buffer along the lawn will continue to help
filter rainfall runoff.
The floating docks are the minimal size for operational needs and stability considerations especially
acknowledging the eccentricities of boat loading and prevailing waves from West Harbor
acknowledging that the floating docks are skewed, not broadside to those waves during coastal storms.
The floats are suitably sized and adequately stable for ramp landings and the ramp has been made no
longer than necessary in order to minimize the pier structure, provide "gurney" stretcher access and
maximize boating access (slips).
REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE WETLANDS LAW NO 6,2004
The permittee acknowledges that the validity of this permit is subject to the approval of other
governmental or municipal authorities.
The permittee does, by the acceptance of this permit, assume all responsibility for operations
undertaken pursuant to this permit, and shall take all precautions for the prevention of injuries to
persons and property resulting from such operations. By such acceptance, the permittee also
agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Town of Southold and its officers.
The permittee gives consent to the Town and its officers, employees and agents to enter upon the
premises where such operations are being conducted to make such inspections to determine
whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with the permit.
The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of any and all
operations.
The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing upon completion of operations such that the site
can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance.
In response to Sub-section 2a and the General Rules for Standards of Residential and Commercial
Docks,the following additional information is offered.
1. Permit modifications for the work are being applied for through the US ACOE,
NYS DEC and a coastal zone consistency determination by the NYS DOS.
1. 4
2. There are only very minimal changes to the dock facilities as apart of this project;
otherwise the configuration requested is very much the same as in prior Town of
Southold Permits 8125 and 8125C. The 15-foot clearance specified in this
paragraph should not be an issue because the reconstruction and expansion is
basically parallel to shore and does not project into the navigation way for other
boaters in the harbor or adjacent docks.
3. Upon receipt of the permit for this project, appropriate permit numbers and a Town
permit placard will be affixed to the most seaward face of the pier for identification
from the water.
4. There are no permanent structures located above the pier decking, nor are any
planned at this time other than the power posts,hinged ramps and railing which are
fixed by function and designed for this environment.
5. It is currently possible to providee-a passage way to the upland via the south ramp
to get around the pier and that access ability will be retained. There is
approximately four feet of clearance to walk under the main pier at low tide,
however, foot traffic in this area is rare, if at all, due to the number of slips, dock
and bulkhead configuration and boulders and tidal wetlands near the west shore and
the muddy and rocky characteristics of the bottom sediments.
NEW YORK STATE COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
These application documents include a copy of the Federal Consistency Assessment Form utilized for
the New York State Coastal Management Program under the jurisdiction of the New York State
Department of State. The following policies have been identified as pertinent to this application and the
reason for consistency associated with this project is outlined in each respective case.
Policy 2—Water Dependent Uses—This project is to improve a fully functional water dependent use, a
recreational boating dock facility at this site in support of recreational boating, emergency response and
sailing instruction.
Policy 5—Use of Existing Developed Shorefront—There is developed shoreline on this site. This project
utilizes existing shorefront which has been altered by the long-standing and well-used facilities. The
project will make dock access safe and reliably usable in most weather conditions.
Policy 7 — Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat—Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitat has
been considered in the development of this project layout. The pier to the shoreward point of beginning
is over the rocky,un-vegetated shoreline fringe and above the rocky intertidal sediments and should not
jeopardize the integrity of existing vegetation to the west.Vegetation beneath the pier is scarce,primarily
rockweed. Typically there is a slight environmental benefit to the project because of the structure in the
water column which barnacles, algae and crustaceans will inhabit and the structures provide protection
primarily for juvenile fish.
Policy 8 —Protection & Preservation of Habitat—Protection and preservation of habitat has also been
considered in this project and the dock structure is being kept to its minimal configuration and of
materials consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the Wetlands Law,No. 6,
2004 set forth by the Town of Southold and standards of the NYS DEC.
5
Policy 11 —Minimize Damage to Natural Resources The dock facilities exist, laid out in such a way so
as to minimize damage to natural resources as identified in Policy 7 above. The existing pier and floating
dock facilities have existed for decades.
Policy 14—No Measurable Increase in Flooding_This project consists of dock modifications. The dock
facility is an open wood pile and timber pier and floating dock system which in no way adversely affects
water flow and circulation in West Harbor or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels all around
Fishers Island are dictated by water levels in Long Island Sound, Fishers Island Sound and Block Island
Sound and the structures will have no adverse influence on those levels.
Policy 15—No New Dredging=No dredging is proposed in this project.
Policv 19 —Impact on Public Access—Public access will not be jeopardized or impeded as a result of
this project. As a matter of fact, there is almost no public access usage of the Public Trust Lands or
Waters at this site. The intertidal zone in the dock facility area is significantly covered by boulders with
tidal wetlands fringe marsh vegetation to the south. The Fishers Island Yacht Club pier and floats occupy
far less than the landward 25% of the waterway (West Harbor) width in accordance with US'ACOE
policies. Thus,public access to the State's lands and waters will not be adversely affected by the project.
Policy 20—Public Trust Compatibility with Existing Adjoining Properties and Land Uses Public Trust
compatibility with existing adjoining properties and land uses have also been considered in this project.
Several nearby properties have small docking facilities and this docking facility will not interfere with
existing or the likely configuration of future facilities on immediately adjoining properties or the logical
allocation of littoral development rights in this part of West Harbor. These facilities are longstanding
structures.
Policy 21 —Water Dependent Recreation—This project is consistent with water-dependent recreational
opportunities policies set forth in this section. This is a high priority water dependent recreation site.
Policy 24 —Scenic Resources Impairment or Loss This policy is designed to prevent, impairment or
loss of scenic resources. This dock facility has hosted recreational boating,transit access and other high
priority opportunities for the better part of a hundred years. The float construction and reconfiguration
and will not represent a new encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources.
The one property owner most likely to be impacted is the cottage of Trevor-McPherson just west of the
Club and they have not objected to Fishers Island Yacht Club activities in the past.
Policy 25—Enhance Overall Scenic Quality - The existing pier and floats are consistent with the scenic
quality of the area and will not diminish scenic resources as described in Policy 24 above. They will not
be changed in this project.
Policy 44—Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands—It is acknowledged that the fringe marsh of spartina
alterniflora along the west shorefront is a valuable resource. The floating dock and fixed wood pile and
timber pier emanates from the shore at the existing un-vegetated strip of the shoreline. The height of the
pier should allow opportunities for the growth of tidal vegetation but that has not thus far occurred in
this area naturally.No changes to the pier are proposed that might adversely affect tidal wetlands growth
nearby.
SUMMARY
This project proposes berthing improvements in the footprint of an existing, longstanding facility for
community-wide recreational boating access with no changes in slip counts, boat types,usage or activity.

A copy of NYS DEC permit and NYS DOS consistency determination will be forwarded as substantiation
for and in support of the previous project.
The NYS DEC has issued their permit for this project and is processing a modification thereto for this
work. The NYS DOS has issued their consistency determination for the past project as well and will be
processing this as well.All of this work qualifies for the US ACE General Permit for New York and Long
Island in particular. This project complies with applicable standards of the New York State Coastal
Management Act,NYS/DEC Tidal Wetland Regulations and criteria for approval, the Town of Southold
Waterfront Revitalization Program and Local Ordinance No. 6, 2004, and its approval is respectfully
requested.
