noting straightforward with respect to the deck. Plans showing

is the as-built deck was built without a permit.
I will make a motion to approve this application as
submitted, and by granting it a permit will bring it into
consistency with the LWRP.

Board of Trustees 7 July 19, 2023
trees have no dead wood. The ,only small dead path he noted was
Baccharus, which is New York state protected species.

2023. The notes say great that the neighbors are working
collaboratively on this project. Condition that the stone
pavers that are replaced include spacers for pervious seams and
no grout and the non-turf buffer.
The LWRP found this to be consistent.
I will make a motion to approve this application with the
stipulation that the pavers are spaced out to make them
pervious.

Trustee Sepenoski conducted a field inspection July 10th,
noting straightforward; that the trees are revegetating and
regenerating.
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent. The inconsistency
says the wetland permit number 10339 requires the disturbance
areas to be revegetated. Since according to Trustee Sepenoski' s
observations that the area was revegetating on its own, that
should bring it into consistency with the LWRP.
So there were I make a motion to approve this application
as submitted.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
Board of Trustees 8 July 19, 2023

Located: 659 Pine Neck Road, Southold. SCTM# 1000-70-5-31.1
Trustee Peeples conducted a field inspection on July 17th,
noting it was straightforward.
The LWRP found it to be inconsistent because it was
as-built and did not have a Trustee permit.
So I will make a motion to approve this application and by
granting it a permit will bring it into consistency with the
LWRP.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .

application.
The Trustees most recently visited the site to the 12th of July
and noted that the float appeared to be, it had a bump-out and it was
a 6x20, so therefore it was not as was listed on the plans. It exceeded
120 square feet, and it appeared that the dock exceeded the pier line.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
Board of Trustees 11 July 19, 2023
MR. KIMACK: Michael Kimack, on behalf of the applicant.
I believe it is 6x20 in terms of that. So I'm going to have
to let the contractor know, on that particular one.
As far as the pier line is concerned, when you looked at
it, the pier line as it was approved is eight foot off of the
dock on the left-hand side. It doesn't line up with the dock
itself. It' s eight foot more seaward. So the dock, the one that
is constructed, would be within the pier line.
If I could refer you back here (approaching the Board)
(indicating) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So you're drawing the pier line with the boat.
Right. We would need to see it dock to dock.
MR. KIMACK: This is what was approved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: This is what was originally approved?
MR. KIMACK: Yes. It' s stamped.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Let me see this for a second. (Perusing) .
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: (Perusing) . So what is the line across -- I
mean it would still be within the normal pier line, right?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That's a good question.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: It sure looks like it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I mean, if this is approved, we have to bring
it into conformity with the amendment anyway.
MR. KIMACK: What, in terms of the, we would have to bring it
with the 6x20.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Right. But we would have to --
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: This one.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: So how is it that the dock currently exceeds
this pier line? Because if he drew this pier line back to
connect with that dock, it' s still --
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: This will still --
MR. KIMACK: It doesn't connect with the dock.
(Board members speaking simultaneously) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is on the record. So I guess I should give
this back to you so you can speak into the microphone.
Do we have a copy of that original approval? It has to be
in here. (Perusing) . I don't think it's that.
(Board member are discussing amongst themselves) .
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: It's definitely exceeding.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: It exceeds this one, doesn't it?
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Yes.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: In the current configuration it does.
(Trustees discussing amongst themselves) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So, regardless with the pre-approved pier line
that really probably should not have made it through the initial
round, it still exceeds the pier line even with the eight-foot
addition.
MR. KIMACK: I don't believe so.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Look at the picture.
MR. KIMACK: Oh, when was that taken?
Board of Trustees 12 July 19, 2023
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Two days ago?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Yes.
MR. KIMACK: Wow.
This one was difficult to set. I mean, I'm not going to
make any excuses for the overall thing, but when we did it, I
was working with two different surveys. One was the original
survey from Nate Corwin, and then I was working with the
soundings from Heidecker (sic) , primarily, but it was always
from the wetland, from the high water mark, basically, that I
was bringing it forward seaward at that particular point. And I
superimposed the docks that were from the, on the Heidecker
survey, basically, as he had put them on there and then used
that in order to work backwards to make sure the dock did not
exceed the pier line. I'm not quite sure I can explain why it's
sticking out that far.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All right. So I guess it' s up to you how you
want to proceed from here. You have a couple of options, I
should say. But we would need to see the plans with the dock,
you know, to scale and conforming to the pier line. At the least
of the original, but really it should be back to, since we are
opening it up to an amendment, really we should pull it back to
conform with what the actual pier line would be. Which is
about, we estimated, we eyed it up without drawing footage at
six foot and we were pretty close. It's probably about six or
seven feet.
MR. KIMACK: Somewhere in that range.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Because if you are looking at that picture,
you have a 6x20 float. So it seems to exceed it by
approximately that amount. If they have to go back there to
adjust the float anyway and make that smaller, it might be time
to dial the dock back.
MR. KIMACK: They can dial back the dock to the next pier line,
which is eight feet. And that should do it then, in order to do
that.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Okay.
(Board discussing with Trustee Attorney Hulse) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone else that wishes to speak
regarding this application, or any additional comment from
members of the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I 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
with the following stipulations: New plans to show the dock
structure dialed back eight feet to the pier line; showing the
pier line from the two neighboring docks; reduce the float size
to the originally improved plan; and with the new DEC plans and
Board of Trustees 13 July 19; 2023
elevated catwalk through the buffer, it will thereby bring this
application into consistency with the LWRP coordinator.

WETLAND & COASTAL EROSION PERMITS:
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Under wetland & Coastal Permits, Number 1,
En-Consultants on behalf of ALEXANDER PERROS requests a Wetland
Permit and a Coastal Erosion Permit to demolish and remove existing
bluff stairway and deck adjacent to top of bluff; construct along
eroding toe of bluff approximately 93 linear feet of stone
revetment consisting of approximately 3 to 5 ton stone placed over
50 to 100-pound core stone and filter cloth; restore bluff face
by constructing terrace retaining walls and placing approximately
324 cubic yards of sand re-nourishment (including approximately 266
cubic yards of on-site material excavated from toe of bluff for
revetment installation, and approximately 58 cubic yards of clean
sand to be trucked in from an approved upland source) , to be vegetated
with native plantings; construct new 4 ' wide by ±67 ' long elevated
timber bluff stairway (including ±46' north-south section down
bluff face and ±21' east-west section over proposed revetment) ,
consisting of a 10'x10' platform (located landward of top of bluff) ,
4'x6' landing to 4 'x16' steps to a 41x6' landing to 4'x8' steps to a
4'x5' landing to 41x4' steps to a 4'x5' landing to 4 'x4 ' steps to a
4'x4 ' landing leading to stone steps to beach (incorporated into
proposed revetment) ; remove existing concrete debris from beach; for
the existing 6' high fencing and fire pit/circular gravel patio; and
to establish and perpetually maintain a 10' wide non-turf buffer along
the top of the bluff.
Located: 19215 Soundview Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-51-1-18
The Trustees visited the site on the 12th of this month. The
notes from our visit read straightforward, amendments per DEC
requirements.
The LWRP found the project to be consistent, noting that the
stones and boulders located on the beach shall not be moved or
included in the construction of the revetment.
And, two, survival parameters of the planted vegetation on the
bluff should be required.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application, with the removal of the fire pit, installation of 15-foot
non-turf buffer planted with native vegetation.
I welcome comments from the public.
MR. HERRMANN: Good evening. Rob Herrmann of En-Consultants, on
behalf of Mr. Perros.
It was a little over four years ago that we obtained a
permit from the Trustees for nearly the same project that is in
front of you now. And then on June 19th, 2019, and on November
13th, 2019, we came back and had the permit amended that
Board of Trustees 14 July 19, 2023
basically reflects exactly what is before the Board today for
the construction of a rock revetment along the toe of the bluff,
that has been severely eroded for a long period of time.
The revetment would tie between an existing revetment and
an existing bulkhead, and the amendment that we obtained at the
time eliminated the easterly return because the Thorne property
to the east came in and received a permit from the DEC and from
the Board to tie stone toe armor up to the property line and
meet the proposed Perros revetment.
The reason the work has not been done as I had discussed
with the Board is at the time the DEC had indicated a
willingness to approve the project but only if the scope of the
stone weight was reduced to two-and-a-half tons per foot. It was
determined by Jeff Butler, the project engineer, that that would
be a sorely inadequate design for this location. It was
basically designed to fail. I had been in negotiations with the
DEC for most of the past four years, to convince them of the
need for the proposed design, particularly at this site. And
they eventually agreed and did issue a permit a few months ago
for the design that is now before the Board.
So we are here again as the total four-year life of the
permit has expired, just as we finally got the DEC permit,
asking the Board to again grant its approval for the project as
it was approved and amended four years ago.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Any other comments from the public?
(No response) .
Members of the Board?
(Negative response) .
All right, hearing no further comment, I make a motion to close
hearing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: I make a motion to approve the application as
submitted with a vegetated, ten-foot wide non-turf buffer along
the top of the bluff to mitigate erosion, and with new plans
depicting that buffer. That is my motion.
MR. HERRMANN: The buffer is on there. The existing buffer.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Okay. On the 7th.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
MR. HERRMANN: Sorry, Eric, I didn't want to interrupt you. I
didn't want to leave the idea that we would have to give you
newly revised plans.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Okay. Just stipulating the vegetated then.
Perfect. Thank you.
MR. HERRMANN: Yes.

The Trustees most recently visited the site on July 12th,
2023, noting we would review further at work session.
The LWRP reviewed this application and found it to be
consistent, with mitigation measures proposed.
The Conservation Advisory Council reviewed this application
and resolved to support the application, and they also
recommended a letter from a certified arborist with
specifications on the trees to be removed and if they are
healthy or diseased.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
Board of Trustees 16 July 19, 2023
MR. HERRMANN: Yes. Rob Herrmann, of En-Consultants on behalf of
the applicant, Mary Guyton. The project architect Meryl Kramer
is also here.
Is it possible to pull up the photo of this site, Liz?
MS. GILLOOLY: 3331 Grand Avenue Mattituck.
MS. CANTRELL: Do you want the aerial or the photo?
MR. HERRMANN: The aerial. Sorry, Liz.
It just helps if you can see the two structures that the
subject of the application. But I can start. Oh, awesome. Thank
you.
All right, well, anyway, so there's two structures on the
property. I don't think that' s -- okay.
So right now the property is improved with a dwelling,
which is the one that is closer to the water, between the two
structures, that has the blue tarp on it. Then there is the
accessory barn or garage that is up by the dirt road.
So the application proposes a demolition as it is defined
by Town Code of that existing accessory structure, and that is
to be replaced by a new dwelling, which is larger. The new
dwelling is actually more than 100 feet from the bulkhead. The
existing dwelling, which is closer to the water, is also to be
demolished, as it' s defined by Town Code, and replaced with a
pool house basically in the same, the same but smaller
footprint.
With a reuse in both cases, the foundations to the maximum
extent that that is practical, and if you have questions, Meryl
can address those because both structures have been examined on
the interior by contractor and by structural engineers.
The idea here was to relocate the larger, what would be the
larger primary dwelling structure much farther from the creek
and setback really as far as possible, but maintaining that same
basic location.
There is an effort to try to maintain sort of the historic
placement of structures or the historic goal, placement of
structures on the property. And that' s part of the idea behind
maintaining the existing dwelling location as a downsized pool
house which will be associated with the proposed swimming pool
that is landward of the pool house in between those two
structures, as you see on your site plan.
The swimming pool is located 76 feet from wetland. The pool
house itself is a little more than 50 from wetlands. The porch
is a little bit closer but the porch stays within the footprint,
as the existing porch, and gets pulled back a bit, as you can
you see when we were on the site by the spray paintings on the
existing deck.
There are two existing, old, nonconforming septic systems
on the property, the closer to which is located 79 feet from
wetlands. They will both be removed and replaced with a single
IA/OWTS system located over 150 feet, or twice the distance from
wetlands. There is a storm water drainage system that is
Board of Trustees 17 July 19, 2023
proposed to collect and recharge roof runoff from the dwelling
and pool house, the proposed sheds, which will be in the upper
left corner of the property there, and the patio. There is a
proposed pervious gravel driveway. Some of the patios will be
pervious gravel. The proposed town lot coverage will remain more
than 10, 000 square feet less than what is allowed by code. And
as we showed you during the site inspection, there is a proposed
non-turf buffer that is going to be about six-tenths of an acre
in size with varying widths that follows along the top of the
bank, extends various distances landward of the top of the bank.
I did have a revised plan that I wanted to show you, at least
for informational purposes. At field inspections, Liz had asked
to see, it' s kind of hard, some of the property has banks, some
of it doesn't really, and when you are standing there it' s a
little difficult to figure out where is the top of the bank some
other places, and Liz had asked if we could add to the plan
setbacks from the retaining wall to the proposed buffer limits .
because probably for enforcement it's a lot easier to measure
from a known structure than from something that you can't tell
what you are looking at.
So the bulkhead is out here, upper retaining wall is
landward of it. This red cloud line is the proposed buffer
limit. So the non-turf buffer as measured from this retaining
wall is a minimum of 25 feet where it' s narrowest, in front of
the pool house to be, and it' s 84 feet wide or deep at its
maximum over in this, on the other side of the property.
There is selective tree removal as you can see at the site.
It's a heavily-wooded site. It's obviously not possible to
proceed with any kind of reconstruction or redevelopment project
here without the removal of certain number of trees. It has
nothing to do with whether the trees are diseased or not.
But as articulated on the plan, within that non-turf buffer
there is to be no tree removal, selective or otherwise, healthy
or diseased:
So all of the tree removal would occur outside the
boundaries of that proposed buffer. So the landward limit of
the buffer is not just non-turf buffer it' s also a no
tree-removal area. And all of the area within the proposed
non-turf buffer is really to remain undisturbed except where
it's indicated on the plan. And really all that is indicated on
the plan is areas where there is going to be these pine needle
mulch pathways, some planting areas, that kind of thing.
I think Nick you had asked at field inspections where there
would be turf lawn. There is an area up by the pool, behind
where the pool house will be, that is also shown on the survey.
So there is really very, very little actual lawn area that will
be on the property, and it' s so little that it's called out on
the plans so you can see that the idea here was really to leave
the majority of this site in as natural condition as possible.
There is, the last thing is on the tree issue, we did have
Board of Trustees 18 July 19, 2023
actually a tree table on the site plan that indicates where the
trees are, how many trees there are, the caliper of the trees
and what is being removed and what is to remain. And anything
that is to be removed is X'd out on the site plan. And if it' s
something the Board wants to see actually marked out prior to
construction, that is something I'm sure that the applicant can
comply with.
So we hope you'll see it as a positive project as we have
tried to design it, but obviously if you have any questions we
can try to respond to them.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Thank you. Is there anyone else here wishing
to speak regarding this application?
(No response) .
Thank you, so much. I do appreciate all the care that was taken
in preparing this project. I do think that it does have a lot
of specificity in the plan, which is greatly appreciated,
especially regarding the trees. And I also appreciate the line
that you added to that plan. So if you could submit those, four
copies of those, that would be great.

Trustee Krupski most recently visited the site July 16th,
2023, and noted that the application is straightforward, no
further seaward than existing deck line.
The LWRP found this application inconsistent based on the
following consideration: Number one, require vegetated non-turf
buffer, vegetation species should be native and drought
tolerant.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
And I am also in receipt of a letter dated July 13th from a
neighbor in support of the project.
Board of Trustees 19 July 19, 2023
I`s there anyone here who wishes to speak in regard to this
application.
MR. KIMACK: Michael Kimack, on behalf of the applicant. As you
can see, part of the property is now non-turf. I was not quite
sure whether it matched -- were you looking for a ten-foot
non-turf buffer?
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: That was a note that was made by the LWRP. I
believe, Ms. Cantrell, can you please pull up the site map. I
believe that it does show a vegetated buffer.
MR. KIMACK: There is one at the present site, yes.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: That is landward of the retaining wall there.
MR. KIMACK: The applicant had been before the Board some time
before, about three years, for an addition. I believe the
non-turf was added at that time.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do you want me to speak to that?
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Yes, sure.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Just after visiting the site, and as Mr. Kimack
had said, we had been there multiple times, there is a very
small bank that is fully vegetated, and then it goes into a sand
area that is non-turf. So if those two things remain, it' s a
very acceptable buffer.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Thank you.
MR. KIMACK: It' s an odd set up. They do have all of that. And,
thank you, Nick, for pointing that out for me. There was
vegetation between the retaining wall and the bulkhead, which
will be maintained.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: To clarify, I believe that was sand between the
retaining wall and bulkhead, correct? And then vegetated
landward of the retaining wall.
MR. KIMACK: Yes. And that will all be, and the sand is an
allowable material.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Yes, it is. And we would like for all of that
to remain.
MR. KIMACK: That would be no problem for the applicant.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, great. Is there anyone else who wishes to
speak in regard to this application, or any other questions or
comments from the Board?

TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Number 3, AS PER REVISED PLANS & PROJECT
DESCRIPTION RECEIVED ON 7/14/2023 Michael Kimack on behalf of
VERONICA H. NASARY requests a Wetland Permit for the existing
18 'x36' (648sq. ft. ) In-ground pool; existing 1, 179sq.ft. Pool
patio surround; as-built 281 linear feet of 4 ' high pool
enclosure fencing with two (2) gates; as-built 41x8 ' landing to
a 4'x9' staircase down embankment; remove 31x66.5 ' section of
existing on-grade catwalk, cut existing pilings to grade and
construct a proposed 4 'x69.5' section of raised catwalk using
Thru-Flow decking; remove decking on as-built 5'x69.1' fixed
catwalk, reframe this section and install 4' wide by 69. 1' long
Thru-Flow decking; as-built 31x16' aluminum ramp, and as-built
6'x40' floating dock situated in a "T" configuration secured
with four (4) pilings to remain; the as-built seven (7) lights
at pool and along catwalk to floating dock to be converted to
Dark Sky compliant fixtures; and to establish and perpetually
maintain a non-turf buffer within the entire area that is
seaward of the pool fence line to top of the bank.
Located: 900 Fox Hollow Road, Mattituck. SCTM# 1000-113-6-22
Trustees conducted a field inspection July 12th. Notes say
need to add ramp and float to the application; the use of
through-flow decking throughout the entire catwalk; to remove
landward section of the on-grade catwalk and replace with
pathway or elevate catwalk to stairs; and non-turf buffer
seaward of pool fence.
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent. The inconsistencies
are: The as-built dock does not comply with the wetland permit
1518 issued in 1982. The remaining as-built structures
recommended as inconsistent. It is further recommended that
storm water capable of entering the wetland from runoff is
addressed. The property slopes toward the creek. A pool
dewatering well should be required. A vegetated buffer is
recommended landward of the wetland boundary. And integrated
sand sink is also recommended to help control storm water. The
catwalk is on or close to grade. The past permit required that
the catwalk be elevated three foot above grade. Flow-through
decking was not used. And the dock appears to extend past the
pier line and does not meet Chapter 275 standards.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application:
We are in receipt of new project description and plans
stamped received July 14th, 2023.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. KIMACK: Michael Kimack, on behalf of the applicant.
On the basis of the site visit that we had, and your
concerns, I had redone that particular plan to take those into
Board of Trustees 21 July 19, 2023
consideration. You'll see from the new plan that the catwalk
basically is elevated all• the way from the staircase, all the
way through. Four-foot minimum, which also meets the DEC
requirements, with through-flow decking all the way. Then as
part of that I also included the existing 16' aluminum ramp,
31x16' aluminum ramp, and the existing 6'x40' floating dock,
which has been originally permitted in its form. And the
recommendation was to put it as language in the description
within this particular permit application.
I also then included to establish a non-turf buffer seaward
of the pool fence to the top of the bank, as you had requested.
And I believe those were your major concerns.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So, in reviewing this at work session, we had
a couple of questions in regard to the newly-submitted plans,
just because everything doesn't seem to be very clear on it.
One is there was no water depths for the float or anything in
the creek area. Your project description talks about a 69.1
linear-foot fixed walkway, but the plans show a 66-and-a-half.
So, it's just --
MR. KIMACK: It's in different components, Glenn. In essence. The
difference here is that there is an existing, an existing fixed
dock, primarily, which is five-foot wide by 60 feet. The
original permit, if I remember, was supposed to be for a
four-foot wide by 60-foot dock. And with the walkway and then
with the 6'x40' floating dock attached to it. That was the
permit that was issued. The 51x60' , obviously, was not in
conformance with the original permit. In order to do that,
primarily, and I look at the structure, and it was in fairly
good shape, we can basically take the existing structure of the
5x60 and convert it to a 4x60. That is how that design is laid
out. That is that, you can see that in the two parts there, the
36 and the 33 linear-foot.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So I'm talking the more landward section.
MR. KIMACK: When you look at 69. 11 , is the original 5x60, except
it was a little bit longer than that, which it's going to be now
a 4x69, in that particular case. And then from there landward,
which is now the on-grade walkway, the on-grade walkway would be
removed, and then will be elevated four-foot up, and then it
come back down, you can see that 36. 1' pitch, it comes back down
to meet the elevation of the existing four foot.
I know it' s a little complicated but that's what is out at
the site and that is what is required in order to bring it into
conformance.
(Trustees perusing documents) .
MR. KIMACK: I took the existing five-foot section and converted
it to four by. Which is the 69.1. And then took the rest of the
walkway, took it all out, and elevated that, and brought it down
to meet the height right here. To join into it, primarily. And
I can use the existing structure in order to do that, and
convert it to a four-foot wide with through-flow all the way,
Board of Trustees 22 July 19, 2023
from the staircase all the way to the end of the fixed walkway.
And then as you had asked me, I put the description of these two
in here. But this was, I put in here because these had the
original permits on them.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Do you see how those would be more clear on
two pages, where you can see the full length of this dock? It's
trying to smooth everything into one page here, it makes it
difficult to read.
MR. KIMACK: This is the correct distance this way for the dock.
This way I didn't have the space to do the extra 40 in that
particular one. You had asked me to take, the original drawing
that I put in had the permit number for this 4x60 with the dock.
So I didn't think it was necessary to draw the whole thing out
again. You were looking for the description of that within the,
to add it to my description, which I did. Even though it' s
already permitted.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So I think one of the problems or one way to
address it, we have the overhead survey that shows everything,
the pool, the dock, everything in its current state. But then
we've got the separate set of plans that are showing the
overhead and the side-view of the dock only.
So we are kind of referencing or we are referencing two
different sets of plans here. We are looking at the survey for
part of it, and we are looking at your new submitted plans for
the other part. So, for example, some of the LWRP questions as
far as is there a drywell for the pool, we don't even see the
pool on the plans that you submitted regarding the dock. So I
think from the Board' s perspective we are looking for one set of
comprehensive plans that show everything on this project: The
pool, the fence, the dock, the dimensions, the drywells, the
buffer. Because, again, on this plan it shows on the very end,
it talks about establishing a non-turf buffer, but it's not
shown what that distance is from the pool fence to the,
structure. So it' s, to go out there and try to do a field
inspection or final on this, it' s going to be a little --
MR. KIMACK: The distance from the pool fence varies to the top
of the bank. It basically comes back and forth.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: But can you see what we are talking about
with the overhead --
MR. KIMACK: I understand what you are asking. You basically want
a comprehensive one, including, you want the house depicted, the
beginning of the house depicted, or you wanted the deck
depicted, then the pool, then the fence.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yup.
MR. KIMACK: Then the non-turf buffer. As a Plano-metric, as a
plane.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes, please.
MR. KIMACK: But if I do the plane, do you want it on the same
sheet, the cross-sections, too? Which would be somewhat
complicated.
Board of Trustees 23 July 19, 2023
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So we add the side-view elevation as the
second sheet, as long as that first sheet has everything in it.
Right now we have bits and pieces. It' s not the total picture.
MR. KIMACK: So I can kind of stay with what I have here, except
you want the comprehensive sheet with, the overall including
this, as a Plano-metric.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes. And then again, going back to that
drywell, I do not see one on --
MR. KIMACK: I can't give you an answer on that. I don't know.
Because the pool had been constructed prior to her purchasing
it. I really don't know. I'll have to find out on that one. But
I can go back to the surveyor and we can put all this on the
survey sheet. I think it would be much clearer that way.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: And then, there is also a little .confusion
with the stairs. One says three foot, one says four foot on
some of the plans.
MR. KIMACK: The plans are four by eight.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So if you look at the top section of your
side elevation, the stairs are shown as three-foot wide, but the
bottom, so top down view, shows it as four-foot wide.
MR. KIMACK: Oops. Hey look, you know. (Laughing)
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes, denote "oops" on the record.
MR. KIMACK: My error.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So if could just correct this, clean it up a
little bit.
MR. KIMACK: I can correct that, I understand what you want. I'll
go back with the surveyor, I'll take my information and put it
on the survey plan and then figure out the turf area.
Do you want a square footage on the turf area or just the
area?
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes, please.
MR. KIMACK: Liz always beats me up with that one.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: And at that point if you can just review what
you have submitted and make any updates that are necessary so
that when we receive the newly updated packet it' s all very
clear and everything lines up and kind of just double check
everything, please.
MR. KIMACK: I 'll have to go back to the description also to make
sure --
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Yes. Exactly and make sure, you know, with the
square footage, that would need to be included in the
description as well.
MR. KIMACK: I'll put the square footage of the patio and the
square footage of the pool.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: And the buffer --
MR. KIMACK: And the buffer.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Yes, thank you.

The LWRP found this to be consistent.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application.
The Trustees most recently visited the site on July 12th
and noted that it was a straightforward project.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MR. PORTILLO: Good evening, Board. Anthony Portillo
representing the applicant Mr. Erath.
Just a few things. We did have an original application
that was approved in 2021, it expired and then we originally
were going to do this as an amendment, basically we are just
attempting to add five more feet toward the seaward side of the
property.
We are behind the pier line. I don't believe it' s on that
plan, but I did bring a couple copies just for you guys to have
the pier line denoted on it.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Thank you.
MR. PORTILLO: So it could have been an amendment. It' s a new
application. But nothing has changed with the deck, it's really
only an increase of five feet on the --
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. Is there anyone else that would
like to speak regarding this application, or any additional
comments from the members of the Board.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: I did have a question. I just wondered if you
could address the notation of the unheated and unfinished second
story and does that relate to the previous application?
Is that why it was included?
MR. PORTILLO: It was in the original application. Currently he' s
leaving it as unfinished/unheated. I mean their might be, down
the road, which he would obviously have to file for to close it
in and make it possibly a bedroom or something. But obviously
that is going to take a little bit of work because you have to
put a hallway and that all has to be connected and heated and so
Board of Trustees 25 July 19, 2023
on. But it will be filed as unheated/unfinished storage.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, and then so if you wanted to make any
modifications, the applicant would come back.
MR. PORTILLO: Sure. The building will be unheated/unfinished. I
think it has to do with the budget on the project. If he had a
bedroom he would have to get into septic and stuff. So that's
the reason. He wants to get the structure up. I think there
will be a phase two down the road and obviously he would have to
apply for that.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, thank you, for clarifying.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Hearing no additional comments, I make a motion
to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Second.

TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Number 5, AS PER REVISED PLANS AND PROJECT
DESCRIPTION RECEIVED ON 7/7/23 Joan Chambers on behalf of
JENNIFER MAYE requests a Wetland Permit to abandon existing
septic system and install and new Innovative/Alternative
sanitary system on the landward side of the property.
Located: 910 Fleetwood Road, Cutchogue. SCTM# 1000-137-4-22
The Trustees visited the site on the 12th of July, 2023.
Notes read: Straightforward. Redesign IA system to roadside;
extend vegetated buffer along seaward edge.
The LWRP found the project to be consistent.
And the Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support
the application.
I welcome any comments from the public.
MS. CHAMBERS: My name is Joan Chambers, I'm here to represent
Jennifer Maye.
As the Trustees know, I met you down there twice. Jennifer
inherited this property from her aunt; nonconforming structures
on a nonconforming lot, which lead to referral to the Zoning
Board. The Zoning Board granted her variances with the caveat
that she put in a septic system in.
And as you know, because we met down there, we struggled on
the best place to put it that would have the least impact on the
wetlands, and at our last meeting we seemed to agree that we've
come up with the best possible situation by moving it on the
landward side of the houses, which is the revised plans that you
have now. It would prevent any further disturbance by taking up
trees or building retaining walls along the wetlands.
So I 'm here to answer any questions that you or the public
Board of Trustees 26 July 19, 2023
may have.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: I don't have any questions. Any questions
from the Board?
(Negative response) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Okay. We were discussing in the field, there
is a nice, vegetated buffer adjacent to this project, so if we
could just extend what is currently existing adjacent, to
include this parcel. I think that would be a win for the
wetlands.
MS. CHAMBERS: Yes, we'll do that.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Okay. All right, I'll make a motion to close
this hearing.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: I'll make a motion to approve this
application with new plans depicting a buffer extending from the
adjacent property. A vegetated buffer. That is my motion.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Thank you.
MS. CHAMBERS: You're welcome.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Number 6, Joan Chambers on behalf of PAUL
TANCK requests a Wetland Permit to remove existing 16'x34 '
in-ground swimming pool with adjoining 762sq.ft. of existing
brick paver patio and pool enclosure fencing, and replace it
with a new 471x18 ' in-ground swimming pool with a 1,326sq.ft. Of
new masonry patio finished with stone pavers; install a new pool
fence enclosure and gate at outer edge of new patio; install a
pool drywell and pool equipment area.
Located: 16705 Route 25, East Marion. SCTM# 1000-23-1-14 . 6
The Trustees most recently visited the site on July 12th,
noting straightforward and recommending a non-disturbance
seaward of existing fence.
The LWRP reviewed this application and found it to be
consistent.
And the Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support
the application.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak?
MS. CHAMBERS: Joan Chambers, once again. Elizabeth contacted me
and told me about your findings at your site visit, about the
non-disturbance area, which I added to the site plan and
returned to her this morning.
I think the owner will be perfectly comfortable with that.
And the contractor is Binder Pools on Shelter Island, and they
are usually very careful. A good company. So I trust them that
they are going to get the old pool out and the new pool in with
the least amount of disturbance.
Board of Trustees 27 July 19, 2023
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Thank you, very much. I do have the new plans
stamped July 19th. So, today.
Is there anyone else here wishing to speak regarding this

Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?

remove the existing crawlspace and partial basement and
construct a new full basement constructed with new 1, 126sq.ft.
Foundation walls and footings in-place and 12" above adjacent
grade (8" higher than existing) ; construct a second story
addition to dwelling; remove existing masonry front and rear
stoops and construct new in-place, at a height of 12" above
adjacent grade; remove and replace existing cellar entrance
in-place; construct a 205sq.ft. Second floor seaward balcony;
remove and reconstruct existing 8.5'x4.5' outdoor shower;

and to replace the existing cesspool with a new I/A system
landward of the dwelling.
Located: 775 Mill Creek Drive, Southold. SCTM# 1000-135-3-35.1
The Trustees most recently visited the site on July 12th,
2023, and noted: Trustees to evaluate average neighboring pier
line due to location on curve of peninsula. Non-turf seaward of
structure.
The LWRP found this application to be consistent, and noted
the following: Number one, minimize turf with the installation
of a vegetated non-turf buffer landward of the concrete wall to
further Policy 6. Number two, preserve existing trees.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application, with the additional note that no construction
seaward of the dwelling.
And I 'm in receipt of plans stamped and dated June 20th,
2023.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak regarding this
application?
Board of Trustees 28 July 19, 2023
MR. AFFELT: Good evening, my name is Steven Affelt, I'm here on
behalf of the owner Joseph Kadillak.
With the plans you should also have the pier line study
that I submitted.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Oh, I did. I didn't notice. It' s dated June
30th. So we have the 20th and the 30th of 2023. Yes. Thank you,
for submitting that as well.
MR. AFFELT: No problem. So my client wished to do a second-story
addition. While we were constructing we found that some of the
foundations were inadequate and failing. So the contractor took
it upon himself to start lifting the house and replacing the
foundations. Upon realizing this I submitted new plans to the
Building Department, and we came down to the Trustees should
weigh in because we are on the wetlands.
Our proposed original project was to always be within the
existing footprint and not to add any bedrooms. My client
still, even though we are not adding any bedrooms, decided to
replace his cesspool with an IA system and still maintain that
the house be located exactly where it was as to not disturb any
further toward the wetlands as they are.
The Board had also asked for a definition from me regarding
the demolition, or the idea of a demolition, and I hope everyone
had a chance to review it, as I don't believe this house
qualifies for the definition of demolition yet. But, I mean,
that's my opinion. So if there are any questions I can answer,
I would be happy to.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: So when you, I understand there is kind of a
process with this project, as with many.
The house location is not to change, correct? It is not to
extend seaward or move landward. It is to remain in the same
exact footprint.
MR. AFFELT: Exact same footprint. Except for we are adding a
stoop in the front. Originally you would access it from grade.
We added a small masonry stoop.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: That extends seaward.
MR. AFFELT: No, towards the road. We are not adding anything
behind the house.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Oh, okay. There are two masonry stoops
depicted here. So you are speaking about the one (perusing) they
are both here on the plan. It appears these two are already
existing.
MR. AFFELT: They have to be reconstructed to be a little bit
higher height, so --
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, within that same existing footprint.
MR. AFFELT: Yes.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: And you said the house is not being demoed?
MR. AFFELT: No, it' s not. Originally it was just a second-story
addition but now the foundation has to come out, so we are
lifting it.
Board of Trustees 29 July 19, 2023
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Okay.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Then when we visited the site there had been
some extensive excavation. Has that fill been carted away?
MR. AFFELT: Yes. Nothing is being stored onsite, nothing is
being added to change the grade.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay. And then what about the trees in the
process of all of this?
MR. AFFELT: We can maintain all the trees. None of them are
going to be within our construction zone. If something was to
happen to any of them, we can replant with the largest caliper
we can truck in.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Okay, thank you.
MR. AFFELT: What distance would the vegetated be, so I can let
my client know?
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: In discussion at work session, we were
suggesting that the non-turf is seaward of the house. So the
entire area seaward of the house. Which means you would be able
to maintain a lawn, you know, grass lawn landward of that. And
there is opportunity for, you know, obviously a four-foot access
path to the dock, as long as that was pervious, something that
was not cemented or concreted in.
MR. AFFELT: Gravel would be okay?
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Gravel is fine, yes. Thank you. And obviously
if you were going to vegetate the area, a planting plan would be
appreciated for that.
MR. AFFELT: Okay.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Is there anyone else here who wishes to speak
in regard to this application?
(No response) .
Any other questions or comments from the Board?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I just wanted to point out with review, I mean,
the structure is on a point. It' s not a demolition. Very minimal
work being done here. The septic is being improved and located
within the back, the rear yard. I mean, those are all important
factors with something like this.
MR. AFFELT: Sorry, the septic system is being put in the front
yard.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Front -- I was looking at it the reverse way,
but -- thank you.
MR. AFFELT: Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No problem.
TRUSTEE PEEPLES: Anyone else here wish to speak?
(Negative response) .
Hearing nothing further, I'll 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 the application with
the following conditions: That the excavation material is not
Board of Trustees 30 July 19, 2023
to be used as fill to regrade the site. To maintain all trees
onsite, and if the need arises, to apply to the Trustees office
for a tree letter. That the entirety of the area seaward of the
house is to be non-turf with an access path to not exceed
four-feet wide. And with the submission of the plans depicting a
non-turf area and a planting plan.
MR. AFFELT: Okay, thank you all. Have a good night.

HOLDINGS, LLC, c/o TIMOTHY QUINN, MEMBER requests a Wetland
Permit to demolish existing 201x40' vinyl pool and replace
in-place with a 20'x40' in-ground gunite pool; demolish existing
pool deck and construct a new ±1, 600sq.ft. On grade paver pool
patio; install new pool enclosure fencing with gates around
perimeter of pool patio; relocate existing pool equipment area
further landward; and to install a pool drywell for backwash.
Located: 1 Mulford Court, Orient. SCTM# 1000-14-2-1. 6
The Trustees conducted a field inspection July 12th, noting
straightforward replacement of existing pool.
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent. The inconsistency
states: Consider reorienting the pool east/west to obtain a
greater setback.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to not support
the application because the application did not include
information regarding the legality of the existing pool. The
pool should be replaced in a location parallel to the dwelling.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
(No response) .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Any questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response) .
Just for the record, I want to note that there is a pool
already there, in its current location, so the proposed work is
to replace that existing pool.
We are also talking about putting a 15-foot non-turf,
vegetated non-turf buffer landward from the top of the bluff.
So hearing no further comments, 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 condition of a 15-foot vegetated non-turf
buffer landward from the top of the bluff, with new plans
showing said buffer. And by giving the buffer will bring it
into consistency with the LWRP.
That is my motion.

water and ±3'x2 . 6' landward stair treads and stringers; existing
324sq.ft. Waterfront platform with two ladders to water and an

planks fastened with stainless steel fasteners. Located: 2699
Laurel Way, Laurel.
SCTM# 1000-121-4-12 .2
The LWRP coordinator found this to be inconsistent. The
material, the dock decking could be improved to lessen the
impact of the submerged vegetation.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application.
The Trustees most recently visited on the 12th of July and
noted that it should be through-flow decking.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MS. GOTTLIEB: Good evening. Kathie Gottlieb, on behalf of Marjorie
Gross.
Okay, so the Ipe is not a go.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I mean, aside from the fact that the Ipe is
ruining the rainforest, you know, adding to the deforestation.
The through-flow style decking, and not necessarily pointing out
a particular company, is something the Trustees prefer whenever
we have a structure that is encroaching over the waterline
because it allows the light to pass through and really lowers
the impact of any structure.
MS. GOTTLIEB: Okay, so then I resubmit with the change or just
that is a provision that you'll make.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: If we were able to go forward with it, it' s a
stipulation that we could put in.
MS. GOTTLIEB: Okay. I do have a document.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone else that would like to speak
regarding this application, or any comments from the members the
Board?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Just that there is care taken with the trees
on the property. It' s a well-wooded lot, and if the trees can
be maintained, it would be ideal.
MS. GOTTLIEB: Yes, that is the desire of the property owner.
There is some, there is already evidence of the beach issue, but
saving every tree is really our objective.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI: Thank you.
Board of Trustees 32 July 19, 2023
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: We did notice that several of the trees were
propped up and looked like great care was being taken to --
MS. GOTTLIEB: That's what I was going to say. That's what I
mean by every tree --
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Yes. We appreciate that. It' s beautiful
property.
MS. GOTTLIEB: It's understanding that Ipe is now being farmed?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Regardless of the potential rain forest impact,
the Trustees still prefer to see the flow-through decking.
MS. GOTTLIEB: Okay, thank you. Appreciate it.

that were submitted were received on June 23rd, 2023.
The LWRP reviewed this application and found it to be
consistent.

support this application based on the old plans in May, however
they did not -review the new project.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MS. POYER: Lisa Poyer, on behalf of the applicant.
As you mentioned, we did submit revised plans. The project
went back to the owner after your last comments, and they did
move the house behind the pier line, so we feel we now meet all
the objectives of the Trustees for the new project.
Any additional comments?
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Thank you. And just to clarify, it looks like
the proposed house was simply just moved back, nothing else had
changed with the --
MS. POYER: It shifted back. There is a little bit of an
adjustment to the existing garage, just because of the change
there, but general scope of the project remains the same.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Okay, thank you, very much. Is there anyone
else here wishing to speak regarding this application?

question, but first I would like to ask if you are in agreement
with the new project description portion that I read in.

be non-turf.

application?

anywhere?

drywells, but I'll have to double check. Because the house is
not that old, so. But if not then we can certainly make it a
condition of the permit.

regarding this application?
(No response) .
Any other questions or comments from the Board?
