Trustee Gillooly most recently conducted a field inspection
January 11th, 2023, noting that drywells will be needed,
concerns about the need for extra bathroom. It' s already a
built-up environment. Environmental impact must be assessed.
The LWRP found this to be consistent.
Due to the fact that we have been to this site a number of
times, we built up that backyard at least on three different
occasions, and now we are talking about putting some 'structure a
little further seaward than was originally proposed, I will make
a motion to deny this application. because under Chapter

2023, notes the deck is okay with new plan showing a 20-foot
non-turf buffer, and no trees on western side of the house to be
pruned.

is a wetlands permit for the existing deck was not found in Town
records .

the LWRP, subject to new plans, and also subject to new plans
showing that 20-foot non-turf buffer.

is the lot is wooded with slopes over 200 . The residence is
proposed on a roughly 22-foot drop from the 48-foot contour to

I 'll make a motion to approve this application with new

This application was tabled from the prior month.
In January the Board visited the site on the 11th and
questioned height of the retaining walls .
Most recently there was an inhouse review on the 9th of
February, noted that we had received new plans and it had
Board of Trustees 12 February 15, 2023
changed the height of the retaining calls . We received new plans
stamped receive January 31st, 2023, showing two different levels
of the retaining walls, thereby bringing down the total height
on the property facing the waterfront.
And it should be noted that I have a description, new
description for the project, stamped received January 31st,
2023, also in the file.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this

Located: 280 Cedar Point Drive E. , Southold.
SCTM# 1000-90-2-14 . 1
The Trustees most recently visited the location on February
7th, 2023 . Trustee Peeples, as written in our visit, that the
property is not staked. Note dimension of distance from bulkhead
to proposed dwelling. Questioned height of retaining wall.
Noted approximately four-foot discrepancy between setback house
Board of Trustees 13 February 15, 2023
and previous location, previous applications compared to current
location. And flagged trees to be removed during construction.
The LWRP found this project to be consistent.
And the Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support
the application.
I welcome comments from the public.
MR. ROSEBERY: I 'm here to answer any questions you may have at
this time. The retaining wall height for the sanitary system is
approximately four feet.
We really didn't change the setback from the bulkhead, what
happened was we had a long discourse with the Building
Department, revised the location of the house relative to the
flood plain. The flood zone. We ended up shrinking the house
and build the house to pull it out of the flood zone and make
some adjustments to the side-yard setbacks .
We have had about a nine months to a year process with the
Building Department and -this is what the final answer has been.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : All right. Thank you, Mr. Rosebery.
Is the wall four-foot throughout or is it four-foot only
around the sanitary system proposed?
MR. ROSEBERY: It' s four-foot at the house and then it will go
down to approximately three feet as it goes away, as it moves to
the north, and then it will go down slope and it will be
eventually just a simple, it will be at grade. So, once it gets
to within about ten feet of the sanitary system, then it slopes
down to natural grade.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Is that landward of the house?
MR. ROSEBERY: Yes, it' s landward of the house.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Can you speak to the number of trees or
cedars that will be removed in the project? There is a
beautiful line of cedars.
MR. ROSEBERY: We are trying not to remove trees wherever
possible, on the north side of the sanitary system. There will
be a few trees removed. I apologize, I didn't look for that.
Last year, I did flag out the trees that were flagged out blue,
that were going to be affected by the, that would have to be
removed to place the sanitary system in place. But it was about
eight trees that had to be removed for that. At the time, about
eight trees that had to be removed to accommodate the sanitary
system.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : All right. One of the challenges with this,
the way this project is, the distance is described from, it's
from the wetland line and not from the bulkhead. Would you like
to submit plans with the distances from the bulkhead so we have
a fixed point?
MR. ROSEBERY: The tidal wetlands is considered the bulkhead
according to the mapping. So we have 75 feet from the tidal
wetlands . The original house was 75 feet three. We have not, we
were 95 feet from the freshwater wetlands to the north. I don't
think that -- I think that is actually a little greater than it
was before. DEC gave us a secondary approval six months ago on
Board of Trustees 14 February 15, 2023
this. We actually got to go back to the DEC with this map and
amend it again.
(Board members reviewing plans) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Is there anyone else here to speak to the
application, or comments from the Board?
(Negative response) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : So just, the best practices of the Board
typically are when we are removing a lot of trees for a project,
especially native vegetation, we would like to see at minimum a
one-to-one replacement on the property.
MR. ROSEBERY: I don't think the owner is going to have a problem
with that. He' s a landscaper.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Okay. And then the Board typically, and
possibly some other members of the Board may want to speak to
this, but we are really trying to reduce the height of retaining
walls, however if the retaining wall is well within the property
bounds and off the property line, I think we would just request
that it be planted with native vegetation so as not to create a,
you know, a castling effect.
MR. ROSEBERY: Understood. I think on the south side we should
get enough room to do some plantings to soften that wall. I, the
only, we have to work hydraulically for the sanitary system, so
we have to establish what the highest groundwater elevation is
and work backwards from there. So we have to put the retaining
walls in. There is no way around that. Even if we went to a
leaching field or anything like that, we would end up putting
in, you know, a system in that requires retaining walls because
the groundwater is so high there. So that is not an issue. If
that makes sense.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: But the high part, the height of the
retaining wall we are talking is close to the driveway, right?
MR. ROSEBERY: Yes, it' s close to the driveway. We are planting
-- we are planting red bayberries at the top of the wall, there
will be the driveway at the base of the wall. We are planting
some red bayberries at the top of the wall and softening that
appearance.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: What about the height of that other retaining
wall closer to the --
MR. ROSEBERY: The retaining wall close to the property is line
is about two-and-a-half feet, more or less. We will plant, we
can plant, have planting at the top of that wall and at the
bottom of that wall without any issue.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Okay, thank you.
MR. ROSEBERY: You're welcome.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : All right, is there anyone else who wishes to
speak regarding this application?
(No response) .
Hearing no further comment, I make a motion to close this
application.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
Board of Trustees 15 February 15, 2023
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I make a motion to approve this application
subject to stipulation for replacement of trees cut during the
project, one-to-one replacement, and stipulating one-to-one
replacement of native trees, and a planting plan.
MR. ROSEBERY: Okay.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Planting plan indicating the location and
concentration of plantings along the retaining walls .
MR. ROSEBERY: Okay. Thank you.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : That's my motion.

Number one, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of MICHAEL MASSA &
ANDREW LANZARO requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion
Permit to remove and replace 76 linear feet of deteriorated
bulkhead in same location as existing with a new vinyl bulkhead;
and to raise the height of the new bulkhead 18" higher than
existing bulkhead.
Located: 2395 Bay Avenue, East Marion. SCTM# 1000-31-18-1
The Trustees visited the site on February 7th, 2023, noting
straightforward.
The LWRP reviewed this application and found to it be
consistent.
And the Conservation Advisory Council reviewed this
application and resolved to support it, with a five-foot to seven
foot non-turf buffer planted with native vegetation:
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant.
On this site, same with the others, the neighboring properties,
there is zero backyard. Putting in a non-turf buffer would be a
little problematic unless we can do it out of a deck, you know,
five, six-foot wide deck. It would be okay with that.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: My understanding is this property is like all
beach, pretty much. There is no grass or anything there.
MR. PATANJO: Correct.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: So if you are willing to just leave it as it
is, that would be non-turf in our mind.
MR. PATANJO: Okay. Accepted.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Is there anybody else here wishing to speak
regarding this application?
(Negative response) .
Questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
Board of Trustees 16 February 15, 2023

The Trustees visited this property on February 7th and made
the following notes : Stipulate trees to remain plus a 15-foot
non-turf buffer. No removal of Baccharus .
The LWRP coordinator found this proposal consistent with
its policies, and noted retain existing vegetation to protect
the wetland.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
And I 'm in receipt of updated plans dated February 9th,
that include the 15-foot requested non-turf buffer. So, thank
you, very much, for that.
Is there anyone else who wishes to speak in regard to this
Application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant, if you
have any questions .
Board of Trustees 17 February 15, 2023
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: I believe this is fairly straightforward. Thank
you for the updated plans . And then would you, would your client
be in agreement to not remove any of the native Baccharus?
MR. PATANJO: Yes, that' s added as a note on the plans. We did
add that as well as the trees .
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Bear with me. I did not see that.
MR. PATANJO: It should be on here somewhere. Unless I don't have
the right set. I saw it on the e-mail. But you can condition it.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: I 'm not seeing it, but if you can point it out,
that would be great, but otherwise I 'm fine to include that as a
condition.
MR. PATANJO: I can't find it. I thought he added it. I 'm looking
at the wrong et of plans, that' s why.
MS . PEEPLES: I 'm looking at the ones dated February 9th.
MR. PATANJO: I don't have that plan with me. I could take a
look, if you want.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Feel free to approach if you would like.
MR. PATANJO: (Perusing) Right here. I knew it was there.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, wonderful. And just a sidenote. The silt
fence that is labeled on here is to be removed when the project
is done.
MR. PATANJO: Yes .
TRUSTEE PEEPLES : It' s a fairly large silt fence indicated. So I
wanted to be sure about that.
MR. PATANJO: Absolutely.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, great. Any other questions or comments
from the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE PEEPLES : I make a motion to approve this application
with the plans stamped and dated February 9th, and the
additional condition in the project description of the 15-foot
non-turf buffer and no removal of native existing Baccharus .
That is my motion.

TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Number 2, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of SAMUEL
& REBECCA LISSNER requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal
Erosion Permit to remove an existing upper deck and associated
steps at top of portion of bluff on east side of property;
removal and replacement of a portion of existing steps at toe of
bluff that are outside the property line with a new 4 'x4 '
landing, 4 'x12 ' steps and 4 'x4 ' landing to meet existing steps
to beach after revetment is constructed beneath, with all
decking to be untreated timber; for the existing 4 'x5.5' top
landing to 41x12 ' steps to a 41x4 ' landing and 4 'x159' steps to
Board of Trustees 18 February 15, 2023
new proposed landing at bottom; construct proposed 160 linear
feet of rock revetment along existing bottom of bluff with no
seaward projection beyond existing bottom of bluff; install 80
cubic yards of clean sand fill from upland sources; install
un-treated timber terrace boards every 10 ' along bluff face and
re-vegetated bluff with Cape American beach grass plugs placed
12" on-center for entire disruption limits .
Located: 3925 Soundview Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-94-3-1. 10
The Trustees conducted a field inspection February 7th,
2023. The notes say move the existing fence 15-foot vegetated
non-turf buffer and revegetate the area where the deck was
previously.
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent and consistent. The
inconsistency is the as-built structure was constructed without
a Board of Review or permit. And the erosion control structure
is recommend as consistent.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application with the removal of the top viewing deck and
retractable steps at the base of the staircase.
We are in receipt of new plans stamped received February
14th, 2023, that do show the 15-foot non-turf buffer. It does
show the removal of that upper deck with that area to be
revegetated.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant. If you
have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: The only question was the fence. I 'm not too
sure by these plans, is that fence moved, removed?
MR. PATANJO: Well, we did add the 15-foot wide non-turf buffer,
so that should identify where the buffer actually line is, and
moving the fence, is there really a purpose to move the fence if
it's already indicated that we have a 15-foot wide, a condition
to a 15-foot wide non-turf buffer? All the plantings would be
removed. So if the fence is the middle or at the 15-foot line.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : The issue with the fence is that it's right
along the top of the bluff, so we don't allow fencing to be
right along that way. So 15 feet, we are trying to meet in the
middle there.
But the other thing is that fence is largely rotting and
falling down anyway, so it will have to be re-built just to
continue serving its purpose. So it would just make sense to
pull it back.
MR. PATANJO: Okay. Can we condition that when the fence is
rebuilt, it will be placed, any new fence would be placed
15-foot away from the top of the bluff? Chances are he' s
probably going to remove it anyway.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Sure.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Anyone else here wishing to speak regarding
this application?
(No response) .
Board of Trustees 19 February 15, 2023
Are there any questions or comments from the Board?

Hearing none, I 'll make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I make a motion to approve this application
with the new plans stamped received February 14, 2023, as well
as the condition that the fence that is currently along the top
of the bluff be removed or relocated to the landward side of the
15-foot, non-turf buffer. And new plans depicting such. And the
deck that was built without a permit is going to be removed,
thereby bringing it into consistency with the LWRP.

TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Number 3, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of THE
RICHARD HEUS & PAMELA HEUS REVOCABLE TRUSTS requests a Wetland
Permit to construct first floor additions and alterations to
existing 1-1o� story dwelling consisting of a conversion of
existing garage to a 15' 11"x22 '2'-�" living room addition; a
7 ' 10'x" x 22 ' 6" foyer addition; a 213"x713" master bathroom
addition; a proposed 7 ' 101x" x 7 '7" covered front porch; and
existing 15' 2"x24 '2" seaward side deck with steps to ground for
a total of 3, 185sq. ft. gross floor area; install two 8 ' diameter
by 5' deep roof drains to contain the existing and proposed roof
runoff; and to install and perpetually maintain a 10 ' wide
non-turf buffer area along the landward edge of top of bluff.
Located: 615 South Drive, Mattituck. SCTM* 1000-106-11-22
The LWRP coordinator found this to be consistent.
And the Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support
the application, with an IA septic system.
The Trustees most recently visited the property on the 7th
of February, and noted that it was a straightforward
application. And then discussed the addition of a non-turf
buffer going down the bank and/or bluff.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant.
A new sanitary system is not required at this location, due
to the project, there is no additional bedrooms and it doesn't
fall under that jurisdiction to have one. So that' s the
sanitary.
And I thought we preemptively added a 15-foot wide non-turf
buffer along the property line, along the top of the bluff line,
assuming it was going to be asked of us. So I added one. I
don't understand the comment regarding an additional non-turf
buffer.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : It' s possible it was misinterpreted in the
plans . Give me one second.
Board of Trustees 20 February 15, 2023
MR. PATANJO: Sure. I added in a 15-foot wide non-turf at the top
of the bluff.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Yes, but where is it.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: On this side.
'TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Oh, that's what it was.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I believe the idea was there is the 15-foot
delineated on the plans . Our idea was seaward of what you are
proposing, that whole bank and everything, will also be part of
the non-turf buffer.
MR. PATANJO: As long as that doesn't preclude them from doing
replacement stairs or adding stairs .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Normally when you are looking at a bank or a
bluff on a property, it' s a little more vegetated. Here it' s
currently a non-turf buffer in existence. We are not looking to
make a change, we are just looking to, you know, put it on the
plans and forever going forward. Because it' s not completely
obvious that that area, I mean, you can put stairs through, but
it shouldn't be turned into turf, certainly.
MR. PATANJO: Right, right. And you want that identified on the
revised plans?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I think just from your current line down to the
water, you can just say "non-turf buffer area. "
MR. PATANJO: Seaward.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Yes.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
(No response) .
Or any comments from the Board?
(Negative "response) .
Hearing none, I ' ll make a motion to close the hearing.

TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Number 4, J.M.O. Environmental Consulting on
behalf of MARY ANNE KELLEY & DIANE C. McKENNA requests a Wetland
Permit to remove existing dock and construct a new 3'x16'
landward fixed ramp to a 4 'x60 ' fixed dock utilizing Thru-Flow
decking; a 3 'x18 'adjustable ramp; and a 61x20 ' floating dock
situated in a "T" configuration and secured by two piles .
Located: 1775 Naugles Drive, Mattituck. SCTM# 1000-99-4-19
The Trustees reviewed this application on February 9th,
2023, conducting an inhouse review during our work session. The
notes from that state that: Question access to the dock and
Board of Trustees 21 February 15, 2023
potential to relocate dock to west side of property. It' s also
an additional note here on 2/12/2023, stating no access to dock
should be applied for as one application. Also, condition
clean-up of property. Large amount of trash and debris
existing. I would like to note that the Local Waterfront
- Revitalizati-on Program found that this project was inconsistent
with its policies.
Questions here have to do with the nature of the structure
being unpermitted, and questioning if the structure was
constructed within its standards of construction. How long is
the unpermitted dock lies further encroachment into public
waters proposed. How will the vessel be on the end of the dock.
Will the dock disrupt tidal flow.
And if the action is approved, the dock may extend past the
pier line on a curve and should shortened in this narrow
navigable water section of Mattituck Creek.
The Conservation Advisory Council has written in support of
the application.
I welcome comments from the public.
MR. JUST: Good evening, Glenn Just, agent for the applicant.
What in fact is the Board looking, for?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I think we discussed that upon comments from
Trustees in the field and during our work session, that would
make sense to either shift the dock further inside sort of cove,
so the boat would not pose a navigation hazard. But at the very
least it needs to be an application including a four-foot wide
access path to the existing dock and stairs .
MR. JUST: The access path, though, I don't understand the
relocation of the dock. It' s been there for quite a few years .
It' s not getting any larger than it was . It' s not going to
impede into the, past the pier line. By moving it further west
it will cause more destruction to the wetlands . I mean, it' s
just the path. We have the depth, I think we have the distance,
you know, across the creek, it's 245 feet. You know, we are less
than 15% the width of the creek, and it' s just a matter of
trying to get permission to replace what was there.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : All right, so you make some valid points .
What about the addition of a set of stairs and a four-foot wide
access path indicated on the plans showing where it would lead
through that upland marsh area.
MR. JUST: I could show an access path, and stairs, you mean from
the float to the house?
MEMBER SEPENOSKI : Because there is an existing set of stairs
there that I hope you didn't try to walk on when you were there.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I didn't have to. Trustees Krupski and
Gillooly did.
MR. JUST: I could say, I could note on the plans that the stairs
could to be rebuilt. But what is, the property has been in a
family dispute for over 30 years . They finally come to an
agreement, they want to sell the property. And everyone is
telling him he' s got to try to legalize that dock. I 've gone
Board of Trustees 22 February 15, 2023
through the Town records . Everything on that tax map in your
records reflect to the property just to the, across the cove
there. So I couldn't find any records whatsoever if that dock
was previously approved. Only old photographs .
So again, an access path, I could do. And stairs need to be
rebuilt, but that' s up to future owners, you know, if it were to
be reconstructed, stairs have to be constructed at that time.
Something of that nature. I don't know.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Just to clarify some of the porous spots on
this, the reason for stipulating the stairs is because there is
currently no access, I mean we both walked down it, and it's
quite dangerous to try to get down there now. So it makes sense
that we see what the plan is for the stairway as part of this
application. And I think that what we are looking at, we can see
from this aerial view, it would be, first of all, that is not
really a functioning dock at this point. It has not been used
for a long time. But it seems that it would be less
environmentally impactful if you could go off north into that
cove, because you would not have to go over as much marshland.
That said, it is a lot of upland marsh and we, you know, we do
understand that they might not wish to change locations, but
that is the basis for why we are asking about that.
MR. JUST: I think the shortest distance to the tidal wetlands
line is just seaward of the dock there, if you look at the
survey. It' s like 16 feet from the end of the old landward ramp
to the edge of the tidal wetlands ramp, if my memory serves me
correct.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I guess the question is the ownership of that
finger going in landward there, to the north. Because you would
not be traversing any wetland if the dock went in there.
MR. JUST: Where is that, Nick?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : The applicant would need dredging to put
something in there, but, I mean, that' s the ideal place for a
dock.
MR. JUST: Where are you seeing that?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Within that finger that cuts in there,
alongside the property.
MR. JUST: Can you put the pointer on it?
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: The cove, right there.
MR. JUST: I don't know if we' ll have the depth.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : No, you would not have the depth. It would
require dredging. But that would be the place to locate a dock
on the property.
MR. JUST: Historically that' s where it' s been for, again --
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I 'm not arguing that point with you at all .
MR. JUST: But I ,don't think doing the additional dredging,
what's the environmental impact with that? You're moving the
dock, dredging and instead of just reconstructing that dock, you
know. By way of option.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: I think the other consideration is that it' s
sort of in a tight area of the creek there. So that would
Board of Trustees 23 February 15, 2023
improve navigability for other boaters in that area.
MR. JUST: If you look at the dock to the right, it' s not going
to stick out any further. And there is a whole big marina down
the canal, down the creek.
I have been trying to .be very careful with these things
since this pier line issues have come up, and I thought this
would fall right into the criteria of what you folks wanted.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : So the question for us, this Board, it begins
with the dock doesn't exist because it' s an unpermitted
structure. I know in reality we look at it, Mr. Just, as a dock
that exists, historically there, but as an unpermitted structure
and with the comments from the LWRP, we have to weigh the
considerations of legalizing the structure as it is . And as I
see it, the dock doesn't pose a great hazard to navigability. I
don't foresee a float being added to this dock, to rather remain
in a fixed-state position.
It' s also not a functional dock at the moment. So it would
have to be -- so for me, as one Trustee, and the other Board
members can weigh in on the matter, this is about cleaning up
the property along the bank, the upland marsh and along the
wetland edge, as part of the condition of the permit. This would
be --
MR. JUST: I could see cleaning up the marsh. I mean, there' s
canoes in there, there' s floats in there. All kinds of crap.
Excuse my language.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : That' s a technical term.
MR. JUST: I found three fishing lures. You know I 'm a big
fisherman. There' s all kinds of stuff in there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : To that point, I mean, those fill up with
maritime garbage. That' s noted. But I also observed on this
property when they were done with the old wood burning stove in
their kitchen, they just push it down their back door down the
bluff. And I think I counted two or three toilets and ten tires .
So they are not all floating in. So that' s a lot. There is quite
a bit there. And more glass than, I mean, it didn't, that didn't
float in.
MR. JUST: All kind of interesting stuff up there.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Yes, the Board usually calls it, it' s a creek
if there is the absence of a tire in the wetland area, at which
point it becomes a crick. So you want avoid the crick.
MR. JUST: How about if you e-mail me the LWRP comments so I can
address them. I didn't see them before tonight. Which would be
nice to have before the meeting.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I agree. Sometimes he makes determinations
late in the process . I understand the frustrations .
MR. JUST: Just e-mail me all those comments and I ' ll address
them one at a time. This is just how I look at the project.
I 'm just asking you put it on hold until I get to address it.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Sure thing.
MR. JUST: Thank you.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Any other comments from the public or members
Board of Trustees 24 February 15, 2023
of the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion though table the application.

TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Number 5, Patricia Moore, Esq. on behalf of
LAWRENCE KAPLAN & DENISE BLESI-KAPLAN requests a 'Wetland Permit
to construct a proposed 465sq. ft. seaward side wood deck with
steps to ground; a proposed 453sq. ft. in-ground swimming pool; a
proposed 1, 315sq. ft. permeable precast concrete pool patio
around the pool using a "hydroPAVERS" system; install 4 ' high
code compliant pool enclosure fencing with gates; install a pool
drywell for pool backwash; install a pool equipment area;
replace existing 185sq. ft. of concrete/bluestone walkway from
the pool patio to the water; replace existing 87sq. ft. Of
concrete/bluestone walkway with new permeable precast concrete
system from patio to rear basement stairs and new concrete and
stone walls around basement access raised 3 ' from grade as flood
barrier.
Located: 2225 Calves Neck Road, Southold. SCTM# 1000-70-4-45. 3
The Trustees most recently did an inhouse review on
February 9th, noting the pavers must be installed in accordance
with specifications, and drainage layer must be set into clean
sand and gravel as shown on the test hole, which is reflecting
the notes that were received from the Town engineer regarding
the hydroPAVERS.
THE LWRP reviewed this application and found it to be
inconsistent. The proposed construction is located within a FEMA
VE flood zone, and increased development on the lot further
seaward is not supported. Structures within these areas are
subject to tidal surges during storms, including hurricanes .
And the Conservation Advisory Council reviewed this
application and supports it with a pool enclosure fence.
Welcome any comments from the public.
MS. MOORE: Patricia Moore, on behalf of the Kaplans .
Thank you, we were at the field inspection together, I did
send the specifications to the town engineer, he reviewed it.
Yes, the installation is going to be very carefully done.
It' s going to be done by a professional, and they are
specifications that they have to follow. So we are confident
that they are going to do it correctly. You had a question
regarding an entrance to the basement.
I think Trustee Peeples had a question out in the field,
and I dropped off on the 13th of January, a cross-section to
show what is used, it' s really a storm barrier --
TRUSTEE PEEPLES : Right, I remember that.
MS. MOORE: If there is a hurricane or something that they can
protect the lower floor of the existing house.
Aside from that, we did place the structure at more than 75
Board of Trustees 25 February 15, 2023
feet from the wetlands in order to follow the Trustees '
standards .
So I 'm here to answer any other questions, but I know you
have been there at least once, if not twice, so.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Thank you. Is there anyone else here wishing
to speak regarding this application?
(Negative response) .
Any other questions or comments from the Board?
(No response) .
Hearing none, I ' ll make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: With the Town Engineer' s opinion about the
permeability of the proposed patio, this mitigates the concerns
of the additional structure, thereby bringing it into
consistency with the LWRP.
As such, I make a motion to approve this application as
submitted, with plans stamped received in our office on December
5th, 2022 .

TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Number 6, CHARLES DISAPIO & XANNE PEREZ
requests a Wetland Permit for the as-built in-place removal and
replacement of existing 45' long by 8 ' high concrete block
retaining wall; and to remove five (5) dead trees on the
property.
Located: 5780 New Suffolk Avenue, Mattituck.
SCTM# 1000-115-10-7
The Trustees most recently visited this site on February
7th, and made the following notes : Non-turf buffer required
from wall to edge of steps. Potential tree replacement.
The LWRP finds this application to be inconsistent with
Policy 6.3 . Within 6.3 is protecting the source highland
freshwater wetlands . A, comply with statutory and regulatory
requirements of the Southold Town Board of Trustees Laws and
Regulations for all Andros Patent and other lands under their
jurisdiction.
Number one, comply with Trustee regulations and
recommendations as set forth in Trustee permit conditions . And
an additional note, the as-built structure was constructed
without a Board of Trustee review or permit.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application with the notes that -- they support the application
with the condition that the five dead trees are removed and
replaced with trees deemed approved by an arborist.
And I 'm in receipt of plans stamped and dated December 21st,
2022 .
Is there ,anyone who wishes to speak in regard to this
Board of Trustees 26 February 15, 2023
application?
MR. DISAPIO: I 'm Charles DiSapio, I 'm the owner of the property.
I think I made my intentions clear to all of you when you
visited the site, and I 'll do whatever needs to be done to
conform to your requests.
The replanting of the trees, the dead trees, are between
that garage structure and a, and the stream that runs through
the property. I don't know if you want me to plant trees there.
It will be very disruptive. It' s very close to the water. In
fact a lot of those trees are already leaning into the water. I
will replant trees in other areas of the property, if you would
like, but I don't agree that they should be planted at that
location.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: I think replanting it on the property and in
another location would be agreeable.
And during our conversations onsite you were very clear
about how you wanted to do what was best for the property and
the wetland that borders your property.
MR. DISAPIO: I appreciate you understanding that.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Yes. Thank you. And then we spoke about the
trees . The comment about the non-turf buffer, so that would
basically be located landward of your new retaining wall once
you construct that. And there are a couple of reasons for that.
One is --
MR. DISAPIO: Can you repeat that, please. I didn't understand.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: You are applying to reconstruct the retaining
walls .
MR. DISAPIO: Correct.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: It may be helpful to look at the image here.
So there are steps that are going down because of the grade
change. And there is an area created by the stairs and that
retaining wall. Landward of that retaining wall.
MR. DISAPIO: Okay, I understand that.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: And there' s sort of a rectangular area, if you
will, and typically this Board requests a non-turf buffer. And
a couple of reasons, one is any sort of runoff that might occur
from your yard, your lawn, has a place to sort of kind of seep
into the soil as opposed to running down the wall.
MR. DISAPIO: So plantings along that area, rectangular area.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES : Yes. Exactly. And I think a vegetated
non-buffer buffer in this case would be beneficial as well.
MR. DISAPIO: I don't know what that is, other than plants .
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Plants . Exactly. A non-turf buffer could be
gravel or sand or, you know, some other material like that. But
in this case, the restructure of the vegetation --
MR. DISAPIO: We had planned to do plantings along there anyway,
so, yes .
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Fantastic. So you would be agreeable to that.
MR. DISAPIO: Yes .
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, sounds good. Is there anyone else who
wishes to speak, any other questions or comments from the Board?

with the plans stamped dated December 21st, 2022, with the
stipulation that the trees are replaced with native hardwoods
elsewhere on the property, and also condition a ten-foot
non-turf vegetated buffer.
And by granting the permit for this application, that will
bring it into consistency with the LWRP. That is my motion.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
MR. DISAPIO: Okay. What is the follow-up on this now? I know
what I have to do but what is the follow-up.

with that.
MR. DISAPIO: Very good. Thank you.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Thank you, have a good evening.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Number 7, En-Consultants on behalf of ELIAS
DAGHER requests a Wetland Permit to remove existing wood
platform, walk and steps; construct a fixed timber dock with
water and electricity consisting of a 4 'x74 ' fixed timber
catwalk constructed with open-grate decking; with two (2) 4 'x6'
steps for beach access; a 3 'x14 ' hinged ramp; and a 6'x20 '
floating dock situated in a "T" configuration and secured by two
(2) 8" diameter pilings .
Located: 90 Oak Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-77-2-6
The Trustees conducted a field inspection February 7th,
2023. It. was an inhouse review where we requested the pier line
be shown, pier line be shown on the plans . We are in receipt of
new plans stamped received February 10th, 2023, as well as a new
project description.
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent. The inconsistency
is the applicant fails to prove that the actions meet the
following requirements as outlined in Chapter 275-11,
Construction Operation Standards (c) (2) (d) of Southold Town
Code. Whether dock will unduly interfere with the public use of
waterways for swimming, boating, fishing, shellfishing, water
skiing and other water-dependent activities; whether the dock
will cause degradation of surface water quality and natural
resources; whether the cumulative impact in a residential and
commercial docks would change the waterway or the environment,
and whether alternatives, design, construction and location of
the dock will minimize cumulative impacts .
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application with the condition of the lighting is Dark Skies
compliant; the catwalk is constructed using through-flow
decking, and the docking facility does not extend out seaward
Board of Trustees 28 February 15, 2023
beyond the neighboring docks .
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. ROSHON: Yes . Tyler Roshon, En-Consultants, on behalf of the
applicant.
So, just to refresh your memory, we opened this application
seeking approval for a new dock on the subject property
consisting of a fixed timber catwalk down to a ramp and float.
Through the Board' s feedback, the proposed float was pulled back
so its seaward edge did not exceed the pier line and is between
the two neighboring docks . But in doing so we raised concerns
about the depth of water beneath the float at low tide.
So at the May 22 public hearing, the discussion was moved
to the alternative of a fixed stepdown platform instead of a
float.
That hearing was tabled in order for us to secure DEC
approval for the revised design, which as of February 6th, 2023,
we received, and that is for a 4x85 fixed timber catwalk with
open-grate decking, which steps down to a 4x16 fixed L-shaped
platform.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Thank you. Is there anyone else here wishing
to speak regarding this application?
(No response) .
Any other questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I ' ll make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I 'll make a motion to approve this
application with the new plans stamped received February 10th,
2023, as well as new project description which reads as follows:
Remove existing wood platform, walk and steps; and construct a
fixed timber dock with water and electric, consisting of 4 'x85'
fixed timber catwalk, constructed with open-grate decking, with
two 41x6' steps, and a 41x16' fixed "L" shaped stepdown platform
with ladder, all as depicted on the project plans prepared by
En-Consultants, last dated January 25th, 2023, and that we
brought this dock within the pier line -- that En-Consultants
last dated January 25th, 2023, and stamped approved by this
Board February 10th, 2023, stamped received. And bringing the
new dock within the pier line, will bring it into consistency
with the LWRP. That is my motion.

an Amendment to Wetland Permit #10122 for the as-built
Board of Trustees 29 February 15, 2023
demolition of existing dwelling (project meets Town Code
definition of demolition) and construct a new single-story
2,223.5sq. ft. dwelling that includes a 341sq. ft. one-story
addition on north (landward) side; a 45sq. ft. extension on the
north (landward) side attached unheated one-car garage; a 16"

existing foundation walls; as-built 4 ' 0"x11 ' 8" masonry wall
egress out of basement; construct a 17 ' 4"x4 ' 0" (69sq. ft. )
balcony on south (seaward) side; construct a 12 ' 0"x10 ' 0"
(120sq. ft. ) wood framed, ground level deck on south (seaward)
side; construct a 6' 4"x16' 0" front entry masonry stoop; pump and
remove existing septic system and install a new I/A Waste System
on the landward side of dwelling; and to install gutters to
leaders to drywells to contain roof runoff.
Located: 400 Lakeside Drive, Southold. SCTM# 1000-90-3-3
The Trustees most recently visited the site on the 7th of
February, and noted that it is largely a straightforward
application.
The LWRP coordinator found this to be inconsistent. The
inconsistency is that the as-built structure is constructed
without Board of Trustee review or permit. And that it is
recommended that the Board establish a vegetated buffer with
existing vegetation to protect the wetlands .
The Conservation Advisory Council resolves to support the
application, and it should be noted that during work session,
the Board discussed the non-turf buffer, and there was one on
the prior permit, so that' s something we would just want to see
on this existing permit as well.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MS. CHAMBERS : Joan Chambers, Southold, New York, here to answer
any questions.
I just want to make it, I 'm sure you are aware of the fact
we did have a permit for this work and this house was permitted,
but it was declared a demo by the Building Department after the
first framing inspection because we moved a wall in the
basement. So therefore it was deemed a demo. So we are back to
get an amendment, but actually not one piece of that house
varied from the permit you have already issued. As far as the
exterior foundations, exterior walls . It was interior partitions
were removed that triggered the demo description by the Building
Department. And that' s why we are back here. Also we did change
one, you know, we changed the roof line on one of these, but
still with the existing exterior walls, and we also added a much
bigger window well upon the landward side of the house because
we needed to put an egress window in the basement. So that' s
really the only thing we did that sort of disturbed or changed
from the original permit. And I 've already done the application
for the covenant, for the setback from the previous permit. I
Board of Trustees 30 February 15, 2023
just haven't filed it yet. As soon as I do, I ' ll bring that
paperwork in.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Okay. If you can just bring a new printout of
this plan, just showing it, so it' s all consistent going
through, because that is something we could do subject to.
All right?
MS. CHAMBERS: All right.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Is there anyone else here wishing to speak
regarding this application, or any comments from the Board?
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Just the addition of the I/A system I think
will overall be a great benefit for this property.
MS. CHAMBERS: Exactly. We had that application in and approved
when we came for the previous Trustees permit, but you were not
really reviewing it because it was out of the 100-foot setback,
but it's all ready to go and approved by the Building Department
and Board of Health, okay?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Great.
MS. CHAMBERS: Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Hearing no further comments, I 'll make a motion
to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I make a motion to approve this application
subject to new plans depicting a 15-foot non-turf buffer,
thereby bringing this into consistency with the LWRP
coordinator.

The Trustees most recently visited this site on the 7th of
February, 2023 .
Notes from that visit read: Review plans in greater
detail. Work session. Concern with second-story construction,
second-story cantilevered addition covering lower deck extends
beyond adjacent primary structure.
Board of Trustees 31 February 15, 2023
The LWRP found the project to be consistent with its
policies .
The Conservation Advisory Council however resolved not to
support the application. The reason it is giving is due to the
lot coverage exceeding 200, the Conservation Advisory Council
requests additional information with regard to the depth of the
new basement in proximity to the ground water.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. SCAVELLI : Lawrence and Irene Scavelli . We are owners . I
have just a quick overview of what we are going through here to
explain our interest in improving our home.
As a quick overview, you know, we are excited to do this . We
are requesting this wetland permit for the project, and it' s
really a small house. It' s currently a three-bedroom home. We
have reduced our drawing size to stay within the building square
footage, and overall we are really proposing a second-floor
addition over the existing footprint of the house.
We shrunk it, we've done everything possible to keep the
building square footage to the right number.
There is a small portico in front. We made that very small,
just to shed the water over the front door. And in the back we
are asking for this, proposing for a covered awning. And which
is an enhancement to the property. You know, kind of done
beautifully and it would be important to us to be able to have
that.
We have an elderly member of the family, stays with us, we
have all the associate things as far as entertaining, and we
feel it would be very important for us to have.
And most of the houses that we have on adjacent properties
are quite big and large. We happen to be one of the smallest
houses in the development. And adjoining properties are
enormous compared to what we have, even after we are done with
the project.
So we would like to have the permissions to do this, and we
have been doing this for quite some time, satisfying the
Department of Building, and of course satisfying the Board of
Trustees and getting the Wetland application done.
We are trying to best we can to make compromises to get
this permit to happen so we can move forward, which really we
are trying to transition or life from Nassau County, to be
permanent residents here. And this is really truly 100% holding
us up between our personal situations at home and moving our
life forward.
So to have this property, we don't want to do an ongoing
construction project. We would like to be able to have this
permit in place so that we are able to transition from Nassau
into Greenport, get nestled and be done with this construction
thing.
Our property is manicured, I know you guys were there. Um,
we are also, we have, we are constantly maintaining, we have a
Board of Trustees 32 February 15, 2023
turf buffer, we have all the amenities that you would ever want
in a small little, quaint little house. We just need some living
space.
So in closing, that is truly what we are trying to do, and
we are keeping it as a farmhouse look. It nestles right into
the neighborhood. We are not looking for spires and, you know,
LED lighting all over the place. My wife and I have been really,
really doing our diligence to work with our construction and
expediter to give the Town of Southold Department of Buildings
and the Board everything they want.
We have' an architect, you know, constantly, constantly
working on this, and don't know how much more we can do.
MS. SCAVELLI : Yes, we've altered our plans probably 18 times.
MR. SCAVELLI : 18 revisions.
MS. SCAVELLI : We wanted to make sure it's to code of Southold.
We want to be of code. We want to do the right thing for the
Town, and we, and if you have any questions about it, you know,
we are here to answer any questions.
MR. SCAVELLI : It' s a small house, it' s not.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Thank you, for that context. We appreciate
the efforts you are going through to make the house compliant
with code and in character with the surrounding community. And
when visited in the field, um, I for one didn't have a problem
with the project. And the other Trustees, it' s my understanding,
didn't either.
There was, however, one small aspect of the project that we
collectively focused on, which was the overhead, the covering of
the new roof as it' s labeled here, new roof over existing wood
deck.
Currently it kind of juts out like a trapezoid over the
current deck.
MR. SCAVELLI : That footprint is what you see there.
MS. SCAVELLI : It should stay in the same frame line as the deck.
It won't be bigger than the deck. Exactly the same.
MR. SCAVELLI : As the bird flies.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : We propose a small change here, just to keep
the covering that goes over the deck in line with the face of
the house. And the reason we propose this small change to the
overhang on the deck is because we are starting to see more and
more applications where the people extend their decks and their
coverings, beyond the pier line, and it' s very ease for them to
close those coverings up with glass and other kinds of
materials, thereby extending their house beyond the pier line in
front of their neighbors . So to avoid that incremental creep we
would ask that you simply extend the roof line over your deck in
line with the current phase of the house. Does that make sense?
MR. SCAVELLI : If I understand you correctly, and I think I do,
take the glass panel doors and you want to just make like a
square overhang. Is that what you are suggesting?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Yes.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Trustee Sepenoski mentioned about the pier
Board of Trustees 33 February 15, 2023
lines. What that means is you have the neighboring living
structures on either side of your house, what we do is draw a
line between the most seaward part of those neighboring
structures, and we don't want anything new that you construct to
be seaward of that line.
So you just have that one little trapezoidal area, so you
already have a living structure, you are already a little bit in
front of your neighbors in regards to the pier line, so we just
don't want to see you go any further seaward than what is
existing.
So if you can square it off with what those glass panels
are, I think that would address our concerns .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Just the roof overhang. I can show you on the
plans if you want to approach and see what I 'm talking about.
MR. SCAVELLI : Sorry?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I can show you on the plans .
MR. SCAVELLI : I got a good snapshot. Because we are 18 revisions
deep.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : See the deck here, extends over. Just put the
deck overhang like this .
MR. SCAVELLI: And that' s because of adjoining properties and
line of sight, you are saying?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Yes, we are looking at this part of, if it
extends out like you are proposing currently, it looks like part
of the primary structure.
MR. SCAVELLI : So even that being considered. Even though the
backyard is kind of curved, you know, so people really are not
sitting adjacent, as I think you are explaining, but we have a
curve to that. So everybody has a parabolic kind of view, which
we took into consideration when we were trying to get that deck
most usable. And the sun comes down in the summer and it just
blasts us .
MS. SCAVELLI : Well, when we did purchase the home, they had a
roll-out awning. And what happened is its high wind. And
that' s why we proposed this roof. Because several times, um,
that awning was damaged by high winds and we had to actually
collapse it and ready to take it off, because of the damage by
high winds. That' s why we proposed the roof, honestly, and that
was one of the main reasons we are proposing the roof overhead.
MR. SCAVELLI : And what Irene is saying is 100% part of it. We
also get in the entertaining months, you know, the summer
months, we are getting absolutely blasted with sun.
So quite honestly without that deck being a little bit
forward, it' s kind of not really doing what we are painful
trying to get. Because that sun is just ripping. We can't sit
back there. We can't. We are doing all this work and we are
going to get blasted anyway, what, to put a patio umbrella in
front of it? You know? And then how is that going to look, you
know?
We really thought this out, and I 'm not trying to be
argumentative. I 'm just trying to surface, you know, what we've
Board of Trustees 34 February 15, 2023
been through so many times .
MS . SCAVELLI : Also for esthetic, I didn't think that would look
as good not going to the corner, esthetically, if you look at
the house, and of course that' s part of the plan to make it
pleasing for other people to look at, and just putting that roof
halfway across, we have like we made a mistake, like something
is wrong with that deck. That' s how I see it, personally.
MR. SCAVELLI : And that picture kind of represents what we are
trying to say about line of site and stuff. And it' s a parabolic
view that is completely no obstruction to an adjoining either
way. Either left or right of us.
And we gave this a lot of architectural, I mean, thought.
And I thought we were so conscious of our neighbors, we don't
have any high bushes .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I mean, I guess there' s two options . I mean,
you could bring us back plans that illustrate the existing
living space pier line or overhang pier line between your
immediately adjacent neighbors, and draw a straight line, you
know, living structure to living structure, across, and if the
overhang falls within that, you would be okay. But otherwise
this Board has nearly a decade of precedence, to the point where
we had other applicants move things back six inches to fall
within that pier line. That is just something this Board has
practiced for a long time. And for good reason, quite frankly.
And I can appreciate what you folks are trying to do, and I
really appreciate the impact of the sun and the shade and what
you are trying to accomplish. But that is something this Board
has not caved on in over a decade.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: See, if you drew the line, so what' s
existing, you know, you are already in front. We are just not
going to allow anything new to exceed that. So if it could stay
behind that line as depicted on the screen then it falls within
our code and we would be okay.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: And in fact, the stairs are not so much the
issue. So if you wanted to retain the shape of those stairs, we
would just request that the overhang falls within that pier
line. And it' s the overhang that gets squared off.
MR. SCAVELLI : Right. And that' s what I 'm understanding now, is
the steps are not part of the overhang. We are not covering that
with the thing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Can you go to the microphone so the
stenographer and the record can hear. Thank you.
MR. SCAVELLI : The line of delineation line there is really what
we are talking about as far as the angle. We are not going to be
building anything on top of or in front of the stairs . That' s
not happening. What we are trying to do is get the most out of
it because we some trial and error with a pole to watch where
the sun comes in, and once again, I support your Board and I
thank you for listening to me multiple times, is that sun is
just, why even build this thing without that extra
three-and-a-half feet that is coming out. Because it' s, and put
Board of Trustees 35 February 15, 2023
a table there, what am I going to do, have my 89-year old mother
sitting in the back and getting cooked? Like, you know.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Again, what we are talking about and what we
are referring to is livable structure. So if you want to leave
that uncovered deck, patio, the stairs, whatever it is, that
essentially could be further seaward than the pier line.
Livable structure cannot. Yes, or overhang.
MR. SCAVELLI : So what is the conclusion on what you need from
us?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I would be okay with plans amended depicting
the overhang not to exceed the pier line of the adjacent living
structures.
MR. SCAVELLI : Okay. Kind of something architecturally showing
what you have there.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Basically in line with the existing roof
structure.
MS. SCAVELLI : So if we do put the permit roof on it, it should
be in line with the existing, I guess, room, and that would be
something you would approve.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: It would be something we would consider. I
can't tell you whether we would approve it or not.
MS. SCAVELLI: Approve it. Okay. So we would have to resubmit the
plans with that information.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes, ma'am
MR. SCAVELLI : Thank you, for the extended time to talk. It' s
very important to us we can make a compromise.
And you did go to the property, you seen everything, right?
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes.
MS. SCAVELLI : Anything else that we can --
MS. HULSE: Only one person can talk at a time.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Okay, so is it your wish to review the plans
with your architect and resubmit new plans to our office? In
other words it' s your request to table the application, postpone
it until next month's hearing.
MR. SCAVELLI : That' s what we' ll do, sure. Thank you, for your
extended time.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Thank you.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Any other members of the Board wish to
comment?
(Negative response) .
Hearing no further comment, I ' ll make a motion to table the
application.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .

The Trustees most recently conducted an inhouse review on
February 9th, reviewing the new plans that were submitted
following our last public hearing, stamped received in our
office February 6th, 2023 .
The LWRP reviewed this application and found it to be
consistent, with one note. The parcel is located within FEMA
flood zone AE elevation 6. The structure should be minimized,
the setbacks maximized in hazard areas . Sorry, there were four
notes.
Number two, where the existing sanitary system and new
sanitary system located, question mark.
Number three, minimize turf adjacent to the wetlands .
Number four, require that non-turf buffer be vegetated with
native vegetation to further Policy 6.
The Conservation Advisory Council reviewed this application
and resolved to support.
Board of Trustees 37 February 15, 2023
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. COLE: Chris Cole, Cole Environmental Services, on behalf of
applicant Chris Austin.
Although the description is lengthy, this is basically
taking down an old house, moving a house back further behind the
pier line, and adding a new garage, deck and pool .
Since the last public hearing we discussed the deck and
porch. We changed the porch to a deck to allow water to come
underneath it and not push it to adjacent properties . We
switched the pool orientation and nestled it into the now new
deck to be behind the highest point of the property, and to have
a smaller face going to the water, to the creek. We are
vegetating all retaining walls with native vegetation, including
the deck retaining walls and pool.
We have added a rain garden and vegetated buffers on both
sides, with green infrastructure for bio-swales to capture
water. And the current non-turf buffer that exists is gravel.
We were going to be removing gravel and replacing that with
native vegetation. And we have removed one of the retaining
walls and added native vegetation on that side.
We appreciate the Board's time on this project and leading
us and discussing it with us, and we respectfully request an
approval.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Thank you. Is there anyone else here wishing
to speak regarding this application?
(No response) .
Any questions from the Board?
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: I wanted to just thank you for addressing the
concerns about the deck and the area under the deck. What was
not clear, and I just want to ensure that there will not be a
solid wall there.
The elevation kind of looks like that. I note from the
foundation plans, if you can, the piles are visible there. But I
just want to ensure that that will not have a solid surface.
MR. COLE: No, it won't be solid. Do you need that noted on the
plans or just clarification here?
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: It would be helpful if you would not mind on
the plans as well.
MR. AUSTIN: Chris Austin, the owner. I just want to add that
it's not going to be solid. We plan maybe to add some slatting
behind the bushes, behind the plantings . Just to, I mean, I
don't want people staring at me to look at the foundation of the
house. It' s just something decorative.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: As one Trustee I would be comfortable with
that. I just wanted to ensure that it would not be a solid
surface wall, because that would in fact have a very similar
effect to the water pooling on the adjacent properties that we
were concerned with. So I for one would be agreeable with that.
MR. AUSTIN: Understood.
MR. COLE: A note of lasting on the plans .
Board of Trustees 38 February 15, 2023
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: One other comment just based on what you just
said, that the foundation is only to exist underneath the house
but there will be pilings underneath the deck; is that correct?
MR. COLE: Yup.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Going back to the, addressing the concerns of
the sort of any water that might pool onto adjacent properties,
I know that you've indicated a five-foot wide buffer on each
side of the property. We were wondering if you would be
agreeable to increase that to ten on each side.
In addition, while we are talking about buffers, the
non-turf that I believe you explained as vegetated, actually
will have to be sand as well, kind of alternating, which seems
fairly straightforward.
And the question there, would you be agreeable to
increasing that to 25.
MR. COLE: To 25 feet? I think we have given considerable, you
know, we have taken in the Board's consideration in every point
throughout the project. I think 25 feet would be too large. The
we have added on both sides, we are going to have trees along
the western retaining walls, additionally. Um, do you have any
thoughts, Chris?
MR. AUSTIN: Again, Chris Austin, the owner. I think the only
comment on that, you know, unfortunately because of the
driveway, the sanitary system, the drywells, the propane tank
and everything has to go on the street side. I do have two young
children. The only area for them to play as they get older,
soccer, baseball, run around, is that front yard. As we increase
these buffers we take away their area, which defeats the purpose
to build a family home.
So I would like to keep the buffer as it is . I mean, no one
in the community has a non-turf buffer going up the side of
their property. This is something very unique to this property.
As we have been round and round a couple of times .
So I would like to keep the buffers kind of exactly how
they are, as if nothing changed on the property. We would have a
gravel buffer at ten feet, nothing on the sides, and water
running from the street down into the creek.
MR. COLE: And I would also like to note that we are just calling
these non-turf buffers. We are designing them to be biologically
diverse and putting different native plantings, grasses, shrubs .
We aren't just putting mono-culture beach grass at the edge of
the bulkhead. We are intending to have it be a native,
biologically diverse, you know, buffer, that is helpful to the
environment.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, thank you.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I would just like to clarify one thing, that
the neighbor immediately to the east does have a 50-foot
non-disturbance buffer, so it' s not that a neighbor doesn't have
a buffer going on the property line. He has a full 50-foot
non-disturbance buffer, and you are proposing a ten-foot
non-turf buffer. So I just want to point that out.
Board of Trustees 39 February 15, 2023
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Right. And as you know, the non-disturbance
buffer is much more restrictive than a non-turf buffer. Where
you do have areas of sand in your non-turf, I believe your kids
would be okay playing in that as well.
Any further comments from the Board?
(No response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: With the new project description as read and
with the stipulations of no solid wall under the deck, and new
plans depicting that; side' yard non-turf buffer to be increased
to ten-foot on each side; a 20-foot non-turf buffer on seaward
edge of bulkhead; and cedar trees to remain, I make a motion to
approve this application.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
MR. COLE: Thank you.

That is the description for now, and I 'll read the new
project description later on.
The Trustees most recently visited the site on February
7th, and noted we actually performed an inhouse review, the
- - - - - — whole Board reviewed the plans to discuss further at work
session.
The most recent plans are stamped and received February
13th, 2023, along with an updated project description, received
on the same date. And I 'll read that in just a moment.
And we have the LWRP has proposed this application as
consistent with the LWRP policies . They did note, number one,
verify the FEMA flood zones on the parcel.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak in regard to this
application?
MS. RUMMEL: Kate Rummel, Cole Environmental Services, on behalf
of the client.
As per our last meeting, we have enlarged the non-turf
buffer, we've called, we've made it clear on the plans, we've
designated everything seaward of that to be non-disturbance
buffer, and we have cut back the house to be behind the pier
line.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES : Yes, thank you for all the considerations . This
project as well has gone through quite extensive review on the
part of the applicant, yourself and this Board. You know, this
is a fairly large home that is being proposed, and we feel that
for a structure that is essentially a four-story house, that
this sort of dialogue, if you are looking at it from the creek
side it has about essentially a four-story appearance.
We feel, or I personally feel as a Trustee that this sort
of dialogue back and forth is appropriate for the proposal of a
structure such as this . We do appreciate everything you have
done.
I do want to point out in particular on this plan, the blue
shaded areas are noted non-disturbance, and I appreciate that
you have indicated additional arrows because that is important
to identify. You have also shaded in the area in sort of a peach
color, that is the proposed non-turf buffer area that is
essentially all of the area, seaward areas from the home. So
thank you for that. That's very clearly noted.
Is there anyone else here wishing to speak?
(No response) .
Are there any other questions or comments from the Board?
(No response) .
Actually, I need to read in the project description. I
didn't want to freak you out with that.
So the new project description:
Proposed two-story irregular residence over existing
foundation; residence to be ±30.2 'x±39' with a ±21 . 7 'x±15'
Board of Trustees 41 February 15, 2023
