Re: Environmental Review – Request for Information
Strong’s Yacht Center – Proposed Boat Storage Buildings
5780 Mill Road, Mattituck, Town of Southold
Chief Rittburg:
P.W. Grosser Consulting (PWGC) is serving as the environmental consultant to Strong’s Yacht
Center, LLC (the applicant) which is proposing the construction of two, single‐level buildings with
elevated roofs, at 49,000 square feet (SF) and 52,500 SF, for the indoor winter storage of yachts at
the existing Strong’s Yacht Center (SYC). The Town of Southold Planning Board is reviewing the
application and has required the applicant to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS). As part of the DEIS, the Town Planning Board has required that the applicant consult with
the Mattituck Fire Department to “discuss the threat of fire and explosion on site from all ignitable
sources. Include the evaluation of potential fire hazards, and if the Mattituck Fire Department is
adequately equipped to respond to a fire at the site. This is of special concern given the size of the
structures and the combustibles within the stored boats.” As such, we are requesting confirmation
that the Mattituck Fire Department is equipped to provide fire protection services at the site. A
description of the applicant’s proposal follows, and copies of the proposed site development plans
are enclosed.
As noted, the proposed development includes two new storage buildings at the SYC property. The
proposed development project requires modification of the land area and elevations to the west of
the existing maritime‐use buildings for placement of the two new buildings. The proposed boat
storage buildings would be equipped with radiant floor heating requiring the installation of four (4)
2,000‐gallon Liquid Propane (LP) tanks (see the enclosed Utility Plan [Sheet 4 of 13]). Overall, it is
estimated that approximately 88 yachts would be stored in the off‐season in the two buildings.
Also proposed is an extension of the public water main (Suffolk County Water Authority) from
Naugles Drive for on‐site connection for potable supply, installation of a new hydrant on the west
side of West Mill Road, utilization of three existing on‐site wells for irrigation only, and
replacement/upgrades to the on‐site sanitary systems.
Regarding fire protection, a new hydrant would be installed (see Utility Plan [Sheet 5 of 13]) and
the proposed buildings would be equipped with fire warning and fire suppression systems. Access
to the subject property is from the eastern terminus of West Mill Road and as part of the proposed
development, the existing internal driveway would be extended for vehicular access to the
proposed new buildings. Also, a temporary haul road from West Mill Road across the undeveloped
lands to the SYC property would be installed for use during construction and would remain in place;
however, gated to prevent unauthorized access. As such, access to the site would be provided via
the existing driveway from West Mill Road and emergency access from the higher elevation would
be available from the haul road off Mill Road.
Based on the above project description and enclosed plans, we are respectfully requesting your
comments in writing on whether the Mattituck Fire Department can serve the proposed
development. If you have any questions or comments related to this request, please do not
hesitate to contact the undersigned at kgennaro@pwgrosser.com. Further note that the applicant,
Jeff Strong, would be willing to meet with you to review the plans and address any concerns related
to the proposed development.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
Regards,
P.W. GROSSER CONSULTING
