New York 11971 SOUTHOLD TOWN CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL At the meeting of the Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council held Thursday, April 15, 1999 the follox~ing recommendation was made: MARGARET BRYAN 10-6-12.4 requests a Waiver to install a split-rail fence along westerly property line including a portion within 25 ft. of bluff line and to remove encroaching deck and boardwalk build by neighbors at edge of bluff. Isabella Beach Rd., Fishers Island The CAC did not make an inspection, therefore no recommendation was made. BARRY R. BRYAN ISABELLA BEACH ROA F SHERS ISLAND, NEW YORK Apfil15,1999 Board of Town Trustees Town of Southold 53059 Main Street Southold, New York 11971 ~tention: Mr. Albert J. Krupski, President Margaret E. Bryan Lot 10.-6-12.4 ~Application for Waiver of Permit Dear Sirs: This will refer to the application for waiver of permit to install a split rail fence and remove an encroaching deck and boardwalk from the above lot, which Mrs. Bryan filed with the Trustees on April 1, 1999 and is on the agenda for the Trustees' meeting on April 21, 1999. On April 5, 1999, after inspecting the deck and boardwalk, the Southold Building Department issued an order against Mrs. Bryan (but not against her neighbors the Porters, who built the deck and boardwalk) to cure the violations of the Town Zoning and Building Codes by removing the deck. In view of this order and the continued refusal of the Porters to respond to the Trustees request on September 9. 1999 to cure their violation of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area Law, Mrs. Bryan hopes that the Trustees will grant her request for waiver of the permit to remove the deck at its meeting next Wednesday. However, in the event that the Trustees conclude that a permit is necessary for removal of the entire deck, Mrs. Bryan requests that the permit be waived with respect to removal of the superstructure of the deck and board- walk, leaving in place the supporting pilings, which are the environmentally sensitive portions of the structure. This limited waiver of the permit would allow her to proceed with the fencing project and accelerate full compliance with the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area Law. Mrs. Bryan would then file an Board of Town Trustees 2 April 15, 1999 application for a permit to remove the rest of the deck (i.e., the pilings) at the next meeting of the Trustees, since she does not believe that the Porters will ever take any action until compelled to do so by order of the Trustees. I hope that the Trustees will be able to give favorable consid- eration to Mrs. Bryan's request. Please do not hesitate to call me at (516) 788- 7166 (home) or (212) 909-6508 (office) if there are any questions.  ly y~urs, Barry R.

I am a property owner to the west of the Marsh which borders the Mullen property. The bluff is within full view of my house which I have owned since 1968 and is part of our scenery. Fences between properties are not traditional at Fishers, since we prefer the open look. I especially find a fence on the bluff visually offensive and would prefer that the vadance not be granted. It would be a symbol of creeping suburbanization at Fishers which I think reduces the value of our properties. The reason for the fence would seem to be the second point of the notice requesting the removal of the deck and boardwalk -- a structure which I find charming rather than offensive. The neighbors, Mullen and Bryan, apparently do not get along, and I do not believe that a fence will help matters, despite some quotation to the effect that fences make for good neighbors. It would seem to me that the fence will only make matters worse since it symbolizes their differences. We have a small island, we all know one another, and I my hope is that we might be able to settle our differences without having to bring in Town officials. That has not happened. If there has peen an environmental wrong in building the lookout, that is unfortunate, though there are many similar structures on the edge of bluffs throughout the island celebrating our wonderful views. I certainly see no point in committing another environmental violation in building a fence on the bluff in order to counter the alleged pnor violation of the lookout. Nor is it clear to me that tearing down the existing structure will necessarily improve the environment -- it might actually harm it, but that is not for me to judge. This is all so silly, embarrassing and a waste of the Trustees time. I do wish that these nice neighbors of mine, both parties of whom are friends, could all share the deck and lookout and from time to time invite me to join them for a drink at sunset time.
