' .. .t ..., . i Date: Thursday, February 24, 2000 To: From: Southold Trustees Aram Terchunia~ Subject: Application of Karen Lalli - SCTM # 1000-26-3-11 Upon the request of Trustee Krupski, I have investigated the following two items and respectfully submit this information to the Trustees. 1 ) Does the test hole on the survey accurately reflect the water table? The test hole was surveyed and measured by a Licensed Surveyor. mid thus I believe then to be accurate. I4owever, I investigated the location of tile test hole xvith reference to the water table visible in the drain on the corner of Harbor Road and King (Narrow) Street as a rough field check. The water level in the drain is about one foot lower than grate. The road in the viciuity is at elevation +4.3 NGVD and approximately 1/2 foot higher than the top of the grate. The test hole was taken on ali area of the property that has apparently been previously filled (see description a photos below) mid is approximately 2 feet higher than the roadway. These rough measures taken together wonld justify the measurements shown by the surveyor. 2) What is the vegetative assemblage on the property, including species diversity and abundance? Use this infonnatiou to determine if the subject lot is a xvetland. I conducted a second field survey of the property on February, 24~ 2000 between 0900 and 0930 honrs and compared the list of plant species diversity and abundance against the Sonthold Town Code (Section 97-13). I also compared my field resuhs agaiust the NYSDEC xxetlaa~d delineation manual and completed a plant species list and other featm'es narrative. Finally, I surveyed the adjacent property with 100 +/- feet of the subject to determine if similar plant assemblages xvhere present. I have concluded based on the above, that the subject site is not a wetland uuder the Town Code and the application for the proposed single family residence should be approved. The following is a list of plant species and relative abundance on tile subject site from Poison Ix? (Rhus toxicodendrotO Antumn Olive (Elaeagnux umbellatq) Rose Bushes (Rosa sp.?) Wild Chen.'y (PI'IIIIIIS serotina) Eastern Red Cedar fi]unipet~ts virgmiana) Spruce (sp?) Montauk D~sy Bayben'y (A,I),rica pensTh'anica) Mimosa Tree (sp?) Groundsel Bush (Baccharis halhn~fidia) Spike Grass (Distculis ~V~icata) or Red Fscue (Festuca ~bra) Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) UnB~oxw~ Grass (sp?) Virginica Rose (Rosa virgmimta) MulberD' Tree (Monts mtb~zt) Zoxtera grass I took a number of photographs and four plant samples during my field investigation. The first set of photographs (photos I to 6) show the boundaries of the subject site looking along King (Narrow) Street and Harbor Road. These photographs depict a number of upland species, including poison iw, autumn olive, wild cherry, rose bushes, zostera grass, mimosa tree, and a spruce tree (upland indicators) as well as groundsel bush and isolated tufts of salt meadow grass. Because of tile difficulty in reco~mfizing individual plants from these photographs, I took several close up photographs illustrating the specific plants (7 to 10). These photographs shoxv exmnples of wild cherty mixed with groundsel bush and poison ix.5r (photo 7 is taken looking at the southeast corner of the proposed house), xvild cherD~ and groundsel bush intertwined with poison ix? (photo 8 is taken looking at the northeast comer of the proposed hot, se). mixture and inter growth of groundsel bush and poison ix? (photo 9 is taken looking at the northeast corner of the property), and autumn olive intertwined with poison i,~x' and mixed with groundsel bush (photo 10 is looking north along the south central ptSrtion of the parcel). [n addition to the boundary inspection, I conducted a detailed inspection of the interior of the parcel (photos l I to 16 ). The plant assemblage on the interior of the subject property consists primarily of upland species including; poison iw. atttumn olive, wild cherry, mimosa, rose bushes, red cedar, virginica rose. bayben'y, and several upland grasses (the grasses were identified using Magee, 1981 and compared against a sample of Spartina patens taken from the NYS wetland across the street) with one facultative wetlm~ds species (Baccharis halim!/blia). Baccharis halimifolia is found in conjunction with a strong presence ot: a diverse set of upland plant species, and no other facultative wetland species. Although the Baccharis on the subject site appears abundant, it is equaled or exceeded by the presence of poison i~?, which is ubiquitous oil the site. Moreover, there are no stands of consistent facultative wetlands species (photo 11 xvith poison ix5'. switchgrass, and Baccharis). In all cases the baccharis grows in conjunction with the poison ix3' and the other upland species (see photos 12, 13.14 & 15). Tile large number of upland species also indicates good upland species diversity. There is one section of the property fronting Harbor Road, at approximately the center line of the property, where an apparently artificial trench has been dng at some point in the past (photo 16). The artificial natnre of this trench is attributed to its linear configuration, xvhich is not typically fonnd in wetlands, and apparent fill located to the north and south of the trench line. This area is fairly restricted on the subject proper .ty and is roughly parallel to the east side of the proposed house as indicated on the attached site plan. Although Baccharis is present in tiffs area on the site, it intergroxvs with poison ivv with neither species being dominant. Moreover, there is evidence of clumping and debri~ on the site (photos 12 & 13) both around the margins of the site and on the interior of the site. The presence of this debris is a further indication that the area has been significantly disturbed iii the past. I also conducted a field survey of properties within 100 (+',-) feet of the snbject site along Krug Street and Harbor Road. I found numerous situations with a similar plant assemblage, including the following: 1st Property (King Street): TM #1000-26-3-10 In the fl'ont yard there is an assemblage of autumn olive, wild chert'y, m~d Baccharis groxving ill conjunction with upland grasses aronnd a utility pole (photos 17 & 18). This is over 100 feet from the subject site and shows a similar vegetative assemblage. 2nd Property (King Street): TM #1000-26-3-9 Ill the front yard and also adjacent to the garage on this property there is ali assemblage of cedar. Baccharis, xvild cherD~, and autumn olive (photos 19 & 20). These plants are typical o~ound on the subject site as well. 3rd Property (Harbor Road): TM # 1000-26-3-12 In the fl'ont yard and adjacent to a telephone pole is an assemblage of cedar~ Baccharis,? and poison ivy'. 4th Property (King Street parking area): TM #1000-27-4-11 Poi asselnblage of Baccharis, bayben'y, poison ix3,, red cedar, and autumn olive ~o~ving in all areas surrounded by pavement (photos 21 & 22). At the northeast border of the same parking area a similar mixture of species is found in the upland area. A filial comparison was made with wetland to the east on the NYSDEC property on the opposite side of King Street (photos. This wetland provides a strong contrast to the subject site for the following reasons: I. No upland species are present at all. The species consist ofSpartma ahemi/lora, ,$'[~a/'tit~a t~atens. Baccharis halim!fi#ia, and some Phragmites communis. 2. The transitional wetland area, which is immediately adjacent to King Street. also contains no upland species bul rather a mixture of Sl~artma patens and Baccharis halim~fidia. These conditions contrast sharply with the subject site where the upland species are not only present, but they dominate in both species dix ersity and abundance. Taken together, the vegetative survey of the subject property, the vegetative survey of the surrounding properties, and the previous disturbm~ces noted at the site. these factors indicate that the subject property consists primarily of dominant uplea~d species with some areas which could be considered transitional upland. However, the site does not meet criteria under the Town code to be considered a wetland ea~d thus should be considered as an upland.

Dear Trustees, Because of prior commitment I am unable to attend the hearing about the above application by Ms Lalli, taking place Feb. 24 in Sou,hold Town Hall. Although we are direct neighbors across the street from this property we did not receive any notice by mail by the applicant or by Town Hall of Southold. There are basic problems with the proposed location of a cesspool system indicated on the survey copy enclosed, obtained from our neighbor B. Sokobin. "A' It is located in a flood area ( please see photos taken at different times to the year), with wetland vegetation in low laying marshland periodically inundated by high tide waters from the adjacent wetland. "B" Our shallow wells are located on the south site of the proposed location within less than the required 100 feet. "C" The fragile potable water table in our location is of great concern to us. and is our believe that this area cannot support another cesspool system without affecting negatively the quality of our drinking water.
