SCTM $144-5-26 & 144-5-11
Dear Mr. Haje,
The following action was taken at the Southold Town Board of
Trustees meeting on November 18, 1997:
RESOLVED, that the Southold Town Board of Trustees approve the
request for an Amendment to Permit $4803 to move the ~ock
westward 8 feet as opposed to the platfozm being moved 2 feet
baSed on all the information collected and the standards set
forth in Chapter 97 of the Town Code, and after having visited
the site twice, the Boards feels this will not have an
environmental impact or pose a navigational problem and that the
size of the boats at the dock should be limited to the f~rthest
seaward part of the floating dock.
However, this does not constitute approval from any other
agencies.
If you have any questions, please call our office at 765-1892.
Sincerely~
Sincerely,
Albert J. ·

Attention: A1 Krupski, President
Dear Mr. Krupski:
According to a news article in the October 23, 1997
Suffolk Times newspaper the dispute between Joan R. Techet~
a/k/a Joan Richards Techet.as plaintiff against Deborah
Penney, who were in litigation over a triangular platform
located in the Salt Lake Village community area on the west
side of James Creek, has not ended.
As you know, this matter was fully explored by
the Board of Trustees in an open hearing where the Board
courteously listened to all parties to the dispute and
considered their decision and we might add that the Board
conscientiously personally visited the site where this took
place and then rendered its decision on the record in an
open forum. The Board of Trustees indicated that the
floating dock would not be moved but the upper platform
could be moved two (2) feet because of insurance purposes.
An attempt has apparently been made, according to
the newspaper article, by the parties to the litigation in
Supreme Court to revisit the well-considered determination
of the Board of Trustees and I don't know if they pointed
this out but my recollection is that everybody was asked if
they agreed and approved of the determination of the Board
of Trustees and it was placed on the record that they agreed
with what the Board's determination was.
My concern is a very serious one--that when a
party has engaged their own attorney and they had their
own engineering expert there and all agreed and approved
the determination made by the Board, the question is raised
as to when is enough enough? We see no reason why the Board
of Trustees, who conscientiously studied this problem and
came to their decision and got the full approval of all the
parties, including the signer of this letter, should not

RE: JOAN TECHET & DEBORAH PENNEY
Dear Al:
I prepared a revised drawing depicting the dock configuration proposed by the Board at your
September meeting: After forwarding the plan to both the Techets and the Penneys, both parties
indicated their disapproval of the plan. The Techets are especially dissatisfied with the outcome
of the meeting, as they believe the substantive purpose of the application was not properly
conveyed to the Board during the public hearing. Although a more comprehensive explanation
of the project purpose will be offered the next time that the Board treats the application, I will
briefly summarize it here for your reference.
Based on the Trustees' comments during the public hearing, I inferred that the Board believed
that the proposal was an amicable agreement between the two applicants to share a dock. Not
surprisingly, therefore, the Board seemed confused as to why the dock could not be shared at its
present location. It was explained to the Board that the dock could not be shared at its present
location because the Techets' liability would be mitigated if the dock physically extended from
both properties. Thus, your decision to move the deck only appeared to be a reasonable solution
at the time.
I have since learned, however, that the reasons for moving the dock were more substantial than
indicated at the hearing. The lawsuit was initially brought by the Techets againgt Penney to
obtain a court.order which would prohibit Penney from using the Techet dock altogether. The
stipulation of settlement indicates that the Techets will drop this lawsuit if the dock is moved to
the 50% division line between the two properties, because the Techets would then regain full
enjoyment of the riparian rights associated with their _+47 linear feet of waterfront property.
Specifically, the Techets would like to dock two small boats (one along the floating dock and
one along the bulkhead), and their ability to do so is eliminated bythe dock's present location.
Therefore, the applicants respec-'d~alty request that the Beard reconsider their decision to allow
the relocation of the dock eight feet to the west. As relocating the dock would not cause any
adverse environmental impacts nor create a navigational hazard, we expect that the Board can
grant approval for the project. A copy of the NYSDEC Tidal Wetlands Permit ~ssued for the
project is enclosed herewith.
Please advise me at your earliest converfience whether the project can be addressed at a work
session or ff a new public hearing needs to be scheduled. Thank you in advance for your
anticipated cooperation.

Plaintiff,
-against-
DEBORAH PENNEY,
Defendant.
INDEX ~92-16775
STIPULATION OF
SETTLEMENT
Justice Assigned:
Hon. William L.
Underwood, Jr.
WHEREAS, the Defendant is the owner of certain premises
at Mattituck, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, known
and designated as Lot Number 9 on a certain map entitled, "Map of
Salt Lake Village, Mattituck, Long Island", prepared by Otto H.
Vantile, C.E., filed in Suffolk County Clerk's Office on May
1940, as Map Number 1310, a portion of said map being annexed
hereto as Exhibit "A", and
WHEREAS, Plaintiff is the owner of the easterly one-hal
of the private boat landing in front of said Lot 9, together with
an easement of ingress and egress over the westerly half of said
dock to the Village dock and boat landing as shown on said map,
and
WHEREAS, a floating dock has been erected extending
approximately thirty-two (32) feet from the bulkhead, and
WHEREAS, a dispute has arisen over the rights of the
parties to use the aforesaid dock and the right to locate the
dock, and
WHEREAS, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Town Trustees
of the Town of Southold and the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation have jurisdiction over the waters wher6
said floating dock is located, and
WHEREAS, each agency has their own restrictions on the
placement of the dock with reference to navigation and
interference with neighbors and other boat owners, and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to settle their
differences and to confirm their settlement,
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as.follows:
1. Subject to the approval of the municipal authorities
the floating pier would be moved from its present location to a
point opposite the present fifty (50%) percent division line
between the westerly and easterly halves of the private boat
landing (bulkhead). The floating dock would be perpendicular to
the main dock (bulkhead) so that the division line as extended
would run along the middle of the floating pier with one-half of
the floating pier in Plaintiff's waters and the other half in the
Defendant's waters. Plaintiff and her successors and assigns
would have permanent exclusive use of the easterly half of the
floating pier and Defendant, her successors and assigns would haw
permanent exclusive use of the westerly half of the floating dock
2. The parties recognize that the floating pier in its
present location is not perpendicular to the boat landing
(bulkhead), but rather is set on an angle. If the placement of
the floating dock perpendicular to the present 50% division line
between the easterly and westerly halves of the private boat
landing (bulkhead) is not approved by the Town Trustees or such
other governmental authority over which neither party has control
then the parties agree, subject to the approval of the Town
Trustees and other governmental authorities, to the installation
of the floating pier at the 508 division line between the easterl~
and westerly halves of the private boat landing (bulkhead) at the
same angle as the floating pier in its present location is angled
as to the private boat landing (bulkhead). If the Town Trustees
and other governmental authorities shall approve the relocation oJ
the floating pier at the 50% division line between the easterly
and westerly halves of the private boat landing (bulkhead), but
angled to the private boat landing (bulkhead) at the same angle a~
the floating pier in its present location is angled as to the
private bulkhead, then plaintiff and her successors and assigns
would have permanent and exclusive use of the easterly side of th~
floating pier and defendant, her successors and assigns would haw
permanent and exclusive use of the westerly side of the floating
pier.
3. Plaintiff's ramp and floating pier would be used an,
the parties would divide evenly the cost of applying for and
obtaining the necessary permits to remove the pier as well as the
cost incident to moving the floating pier and the dolphin pilings
and the construction of a new landing to receive the ramp from th~
floating pier. The cost of maintaining the relocated floating
pier and ramp would likewise be divided evenly between the partie~
and each party would be responsible for insuring their own
interests. It is agreed that the initial application to the Town
Trustees and other governmental authorities shall be for a
perpendicular dock. Any permits issued for the relocation of the
floating dock, either as a perpendicular or angled installation
shall be in the joint names of plaintiff and defendant.
4. Defendant shall acknowledge in recordable form that
Plaintiff is the owner of the easterly half of the private boat
landing (main dock) and that Plaintiff has a permanent right of
way over the westerly half of the private boat landing, (main
dock) as access to the easterly half of the private boat landing.
5~ If the governmental authorities having jurisdiction
shall refuse to approve the removal of the floating pier to the
50% division line between the easterly and westerly halves of the
main dock (bulkhead), either as a perpendicular installation or
an angled installation, plaintiff shall have the right to continu(
this action and have the Court resolve the differences between
parties.
6. The parties agree to cooperate with each other in
making prompt application for the permits necessary for the
relocation of the floating pier, and to keep each other informed.

Finally, I have attached (4) copies of project plans revised in accordance with your requests.
You will note the following revisions: 1) the "key" indicates "proposed 8" piling locations"; 2)
the notes indicate the materials will be CCA-treated; 3) the plan indicates (6) (rather than 5)
pilings to be relocated, including one mooting piling; 4) Permey's house is indicated, although it
is not drawn to scale; 5) it is noted the upland property is owned by Penney, while 50% of the
waterfzont area is owned by Techet, pursuant to Techex's right-of-way ov~r the Penney prcpe~:-./;
and 6) the notes include a brief textual description of the ownership dixdsion on the site.

Re: Techet v. Penny
# SCTM 1000-749-5-26
Gentlemen:
The following letter is submitted by the undersigned in
connection with the little community in the unincorporated area
known as Mattituck. The name of the community is "Salt Lake
Village". We are property owners of this "18 property" owners
whose dwellings comprise Salt Lake Village.
The purpose of this letter is to object to the applica-
tion of Ms. Penny to move her dock in the tiny inlet of water which
is connected toJames Creek in Mattituck. As you know, James Creek
is a tidal body of water connected to Peconic Bay which is also a
tidal body of water.
The little inlet which is the subject matter of the
application here is surrounded on three sides by property in Salt
Lake Village and at its easterly end, the water is connected to and
intersects with James Creek which makes its way up to the north for
about a mile. The 18 property owners control the use of the water-
way insofar as dockage is Concerned and, in addition thereto, when
the tidal waters in the little inlet deposit excess sand in the
body of water, the monetary burden of removing the sand to enhance
its navigability is borne by the property owners at large.
In order to help pay for common maintenance the asso-
ciation maintains at least four spaces for boat docking to resi-
dents and charges $300. or $400.00 for each docking space at the
west end of the tiny inlet.
Unfortunately, Ms. Penny's property which is on the north
side of the little inlet is the nearest to the west end of the
inlet with the docks mentioned above. Historically, the dock space
was used by small boats. Ms. Penny within the past few years has
had a huge cigarette boat on her floating dock and at the present
time, has a cabin cruiser which is about 34 feet long and uses a
floating dock with lines out so that the boat can clear the dock.
The boat is at least 8 feet wide and a glance at one of
the photos attached to this letter will clearly show the boat
floating out from the dock another 12 to 15 feet in this shallow
body of water.
Board of Trustees
Page -2-
As a result of litigation we are advised that Ms. Penny
has court approval to move her boat and dock at least another 8
feet to the west. Again, this will, if used as it is now placed,
add additional feet taken up by the boat floating free at the dock
of 3 to 4 feet.
Steven Techet anticipates using a dock further to the
east and we believe that no harm or risk of harm would be presented
by Mr. Techet's dockage.
When the time came to ask for expenses to do necessary
things for the commonly controlled areas including this little body
of water, it was all for one and one for all, but this does not
apparently apply to Ms. Penny's use of this water.
The boats have to deal with shallow water and one of the
photos attached here will show piling which is installed several
feet out from Mr. Reynolds property and it is our opinion that the
property owners, some of whom may be youngsters, whom their parents
love dearly in this development, that a situation is here confront-
ing us where there is an unreasonable interference where theright
of those who have boats to use this water inlet with reasonable
safety.
One of the undersigned who has a 23 foot boat would never
rent dock spaoe because he felt that such a boat was too big and
had a real good chance of colliding with the Penny boats. Other
members of this community feel the same way about it and they are
concerned about possible risk or hazard potential for youngsters
who have as much right to use that waterway as Ms. Penny.
There is plenty of water in James Creek with two marinas
present who can be utilized and if that were done here, there would
be no problem. Ms. Penny's boat is a beautiful boat, but unfortun-
ately because of its location and the undertakings for people who
are renting the westerly end of that for their boats, it is not
going to work out.
Finally, we point out that the association in Salt Lake
Village was never made a party to any lawsuit.
Respectfully submitted,
G~ ¥3S H~ON
