Box 1179 Southold, NY 1197l UUL JAN IO 2000 'OWN OF c,,', January5,2000 RE: 18603 Main Road, East Marion Installation of Swimming Pool Request for Letter of Non-Jurisdiction To Whom It May Concern: As the owners of the referenced property, we are herein requesting a Letter of Non-Jurisdiction from the Town of Southold Board of Trustees, concerning the installation ora swimming pool in the backryard of the property, also known as District 1000, Block 107, Lot 5 on the tax map. We plan to install the swimming pool this spring, and have applied to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation for a permit to construct the pool in parallel with this request. A NYSDEC permit is required because the property is adjacent to and within 300 feet of tidal wetlands, and the area on which the pool will be located is at an elevation of less than 10 feet above Mean Sea Level. As the enclosed drawing shows, the swimming pool will be located approximately 150 feet from the High Water Mark of the Long Island Sound, as shown on the attached Site Plan Drawing; a Location Map is included as an inset on the Site Plan. We are also including a copy of the most recent survey of the property, made in 1991, depicting the existing house and associated septic system and drywells. No construction work has taken place since this survey was prepared, so it is an accurate representation of current conditions. We have attached a copy of the Project Summary Report that was sent to NYSDEC, for your reference in reviewing our request. Since the proposed swimming pool will be located at a distance greater than 75 feet from the Long Island Sound High Water Mark, we understand that it lies outside the jurisdiction of the Southold Board of Trustees. We therefore request a Letter of Non-Jursidiction for the proposed project. Following receipt of this letter, along with an approved permit from NYSDEC, we will apply for the appropriate Building Permits from the Town Building Department. Please note that Building Department representatives directed us to obtain this Letter of Non-Jurisdiction prior to filing building permit applications. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact us at the letterhead phone number. Very truly yours, Susan M. Melamud, P.E. Eric. Installation of a Swimming Pool at 18603 Main Road, East Marion, NY Project Summary Report Location of Property: The property is a 3.85-acre parcel located off the Main Road (Route 25) in the hamlet of East Marion, in the Town of Southold, NY. The property extends from an easement formerly known as "Old Main Road" (a partially gravel-covered driveway) to the high water mark of the Long Island Sound. Property width (Long Island Sound frontage) is approximately 617 feet, and preperty depth varies from about 238 to 312 feet. The house is located toward the front (southeast edge) of the property, facing the Main Road. The site topography is relatively flat, with elevations varying from 4 to 10 feet above Mean Sea Level, and averaging about Elev. 8'. The existing house is located at approximately Elev. 8'. Between the "Old Main Road", which constitutes the southeastern border of the property, and the Main Road, there is a property owned by the Orient-East Marion Park District, consisting of a meadow that includes tidal wetlands. There is a "buffer" zone approximately 80 feet wide between the subject property line and the edge of the meadow. According to the latest tidal wetlands map (obtained from the Southold Planning Department, copy attached), the meadow wetlands designation closest to the subject preperty line is "HM", or "High Marsh". None of the subject property is located within a delineated wetland area. There are only three neighboring properties, in addition to the aforementioned meadow owned by the Orient-East Marion Park District. These include two multi-acre residential properties to the southeast of the property (owned by Lomas and Stephenson); the nearest residences are located at least 500 feet away from the property border. The Orient-East Marion Park District also owns vacant land adjacent to the southwest of the property. The front of the existing 1,700-sf house is located approximately 85 feet to the northwest of the edge (i.e., outside) of the wetlands area, and is situated directly on the beach. A stone seawall, approximately 3 feet high, separates the residence and the northwestern border of the Old Main Road from the meadow. In the rear of the property, the only vegetation noted consists of low shrubs, primarily Rosa Regosa, with possibly some Prunus Maritirna sparsely interspersed over the property. There are no trees, grass, or wetlands types of vegetation located anywhere within the property boundaries. Current lot coverage is approximately 1% of the total 3.85 acres. Description of Project: This project involves the installation of an 18-foot by 36-foot partially inground swimming pool in the back of the property, at approximately Elev. 8', with setbacks of approximately 150 feet from the high water mark of the Long Island Sound, and about 108 feet from the edge of the delineated High Marsh wetlands border of the meadow to the southeast of the property. The excavation is estimated to be approximately 20-feet wide and 40-feet long. The pool will consist of an enamel-coated steel structure with internal 28-gange vinyl liner. The pool will be an average of 5 feet deep, with a small section up to six feet deep. The pool will be partially in-ground, to a depth of approximately 2 to 3 feet, depending on water table depth. It is intended that the pool excavation avoid the top of the water table by at least two feet, eliminating the need for &watering and preventing the pool from being subjected to external forces imposed by the presence of the water table. Test pits will be dug prior to the start of excavation, to determine the depth of the water table in the vicinity of the excavation. The pool will be surrounded by about 2 to 3 feet of wood decking, which will be supported by the pool structure. Wood lattice board will conceal the exterior of the pool that protrudes from the ground. A self-supporting wood bridge deck structure, 15 to 20 feet long, will connect the pool to the existing decking in back of the residence. All wood will be treated such that it is water and weather-resistant. No piles will be needed to support the pool deck or bridge. With the proposed swimming pool (20' by 40', xvith decking), lot coverage will total about 1.5%. The filter backwash discharge piping will be routed underground (via 1 or 2-inch diameter PVC or other plastic piping) to one of the two the existing drywells located at the northwestern end of the property, as shown on the scaled site plan included in the permit application package. Backwash will be manually initiated about once per ~veek during peak pool usage. Construction Method and Placement of Excavated Material: The excavation will be primarily hand-dug. Excavated material (consisting primarily of sandy loam and loamy sand) will be placed around the perimeter of the installed pool. Approximately 90 to 120 cubic yards of material will be excavated, depending on the results of the water table depth determination and selected depth to which the pool will be placed in-ground. The excavated material will be placed as a berm over an area about 10 feet in width, over the pool perimeter (about 1200 square feet), raising the grade by about 2 to 3 feet, maximum. This will help conceal the exterior of the aboveground portion of the pool from view. The construction period will have a duration of about 2 weeks. During this time, the excavation spoils will be covered with a tarp to protect the property from blowing sand and to retain the spoils in place until they can be spread around the finished pool. Decking will take an additional 2 weeks to complete after the pool construction has been finished. Displaced vegetation (shrubs) will be replanted elsewhere on the property, to the extent practicable. Construction materials will be lifted over the seawall either by hand or by winch, from a track parked in the Old Main Road easement. Environmental Impacts: This project will not incur any significant adverse environmental impacts. The pool will be not be located within nor in proximity (i.e., within 100 feet ) of tidal wetlands, it will be aesthetically designed, new decking will match existing color and type, and the pool will not be highly visible to neighboring properties, since it will be at least 500 feet from the nearest residence. The property topography will not be significantly altered. Displaced vegetation due to excavation will be replanted, where possible. No animal habitat will be disturbed, and no noise, traffic, emissions, or offsite discharges will result from the project. The project will be in conformance with all local zoning and building codes. A waiver of jurisdiction is being applied for from the Town of Southold Trustees. Building permits will be obtained from the Town of Southold after the NYSDEC permit has been received. We contacted the Army Corps of Engineers, who stated that a permit is not needed because no work is being done in areas covered by (under) water. The project will not result in any socioeconomic impacts on the area, except for possibly increasing the property value and the Town of Southold's tax revenue. The project will not have a significant demand on local utilities. The pool filter pump will consume approximately 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical power per year, based on an 8-hour-per- day operation for 4 months/year. The pool will initially be filled by tanker truck water delivery. Periodic "topping off' of the evaporated water will be done by the existing well pump that serves the house. The well pump will also be used for backwash water. The project will not generate any flow to the existing septic system, and filter backwash water will be routed directly to one of the two existing drywells, as previously discussed. 3 18603 Main Road Low Water Mark High Water Mark Located Ordinary High Water Mark.~_~.....~.~"- 11957 Site Location M~p (NTS) July 25, 1995 High Water Mark Per Minor Sul§division Map- 1984 __ Long N. 46°20'50"E Island 617.52'~ Flood Zone V-9 _/ Sound Existing Contours Flood Zone V-9 ........... f-~\ ..... 18603 Main Road - Proposed Swimming Pool Long Island Sound (Town of Southold) East Marion, NY Ron A. and Susan M, Melamud January, 2000 1000 017 5 Project Name: Waterbody: Village: Applicant: Date: District: Block: Lot: .
