Home My WebLink AboutWest Lake Association 505 west Cedar Point Drive Southold, NY 11971 September 16, 2000 Al Krupski Board of Trustees Southold, NY11971 Dear Al: I'm writing regarding the dredging of West Lake--a longer running show than "Cats", it seems. I had talked with Lauren and Charlotte about the possibility of getting some relief on the $6000 charge we got from the Trustees. They suggested that Jim Bunchuck might have a solution. I talked to Jim and, while he thought the capping of the landfill might use the soil, he couldn't guarantee it, mostly because the project would be run by a private contractor. It would also involve some 60 truckloads of material being moved, which would surely cancel all or most of any savings realized. This solution was not a good one. west lake Association is not a large one, 20 property owners, and in the interest of keeping costs down I have talked to many people and lots of ideas/questions/ statements have emerged. I'm putting them down in no particular order and ask you to look them Over and maybe give me a call to discuss whether any have merit. * By removing the old, Iow bulkhead and planting grass we are creating a marine habitat, or parkland, and the Town should at least pay for that portion of the work. (With this possibility in mind I have asked Joe Edgar to show that work separately on his estimate/bill). * The Town receives, or is eligible for, a subsidy from Suffolk County for dredging. In light of the "marine habitat" question, above, is there any help available from this direction? * The Lake is man-made, i.e. was an inland body of water which a developer opened, and therefore the Trustees/Town do not own the bottom and we should dematld that their spoil be removed from our lake. I loved this one, as I'm sure you do. * All ploys and strategies aside, the Trustees did seem truly pleased to have the bulkhead/beach cleaned up because of positive and natural environmental benefits. This is maybe the best reason for you to cancel the fee--the whole project is important not only to the residents, but to the Town, as you said at the final hearing. Our final question: the approval plan calls for spoil to go on Mr. Moy's beach, with some to Mrs. Greenfield because she asked for it at that last hearing. Is the distribution of the spoil confined to the sites shown on the plan or can it be placed on beaches to the right of Moy and/or the left of Greenfield. I don't want to be coy here--I'm asking because it is uncertain whether either party will contribute any money to the project and it offends my sensibilities to see them benefit while getting a free ride. I'm sure you have OD'd on West Lake dredging, but I would appreciate a call regarding these various point. Thank you.

Al Krupski Board of Trustees, Town of Southold Southold, NY 11971 Dear Al, 505 West Cedar Point Drive Southold, NY 11971 May 16, 2000 r--- We are getting confused about the West Lake dredging permit and wonder if we could meet with you to talk about it. * It semms to us that the trustees are, in general, leaning toward the dredging. * Of the four property owners that we know were opposed (Moy, Greenfield, Barbado, Christie) two, Moy and Greenfield, have generally eased up and appear to be, if not wholeheartedly for it, not so vehemently opposed. *The idea of some kind of bond was raised. Things really got confusing--performance bond, maintenance bond--who knew? *After talking to you and Ray Jacobs we talked with Betty Neville, who said we probably were being asked for a surety/maintenance bond. This apparently calls for us to put up the entire value of the bond ($50,000?). The Association does not have that kind of money. *It seems as though we are arriving at the point where we can't do the dredging even though most people want it done. Can we come to a different postion on the bonding? If we just dredged the deltas on each end of the channel, and not the channel, would the need for a bond cease? Help! We would appreciate meeting with you to discuss this. Sincer, tse 8 I Mr. A. Krutski, President Board of Town Trustees Town Hall Southold, NY 1197I Dear Mr. Krutski: Myself and my family are writing this letter to show our unconditional support of the dredging project in West Lake Inlet. The hearing will be held on April 19, 2000. We have just recently appealed to the Board of Trustees to rebuild our bulkhead and one of the conditions was to relocate the wall back 4 feet promote the development of wetlands which we, of course, agreed to do. We have owned our property for 33 years and have enjoyed the natural ebb and flow of the life cycles in West Lake. Indeed, such natural inlets & estuaries provide necessary natural protection for an enormous variety of developing wildlife. With each change of tide into this long established eco-system, the origins of life become apparent even to the most casual of observers. Aside from the other(perhaps more obvious)potential detrimental impacts such as decreased property values & lack of access for small pleasure craft, denying this preventive measure leaves open the gate for either a fluke storm or the neglect of property owners on the sides of this inlet to cause it to fill in. If the act of installing bulkheads alongside an inlet creates a positive economic benefit for the property owners, and has the by-product of being positive for this eco-system, it should also create responsible stewardship on the part of all involved, for with such self-serving actions also come with it, the price of responsibility. Although it perhaps is not the responsibility of the Town Trustees to create new wetlands, is it not charged with the responsibility to preserve existing wetlands? The only possible objection could be raised by self serving landowners on either side of the inlet, whom would perhaps like community funds to maintain the integrity of structures that they themselves are responsible for maintaining. I should point out that the early tax maps show a public access right of way on both of these properties right up to the inlet. One landowner has taken it upon himself to put down railroad ties to create a barrier for conununity access that has existed for almost a century if not longer. Such actions are evident of a continuing pattern to shrug off one's civil responsibility. I don't think that either of these individuals (Mr. Mol and Mrs. Greenfield) honestly would like to see West Lake suffer the same fate as Terry Waters and become a sealed, foul muck-marsh, as it certainly wouldn't be in their best interest. The fact that the community is willing to foot the bill for this rather expensive action should speak volumes to this Board of Town Trustees as to the commitment to preservation in this con~nunity.

I don't think that either of these individuals (Mr. Mol and Mrs. Greenfield) honestly would like to see West Lake suffer the same fate as Terry Waters and become a sealed, foul muck-marsh, as it certainly wouldn't be in their best interest. The fact that the co~nunity is willing to foot the bill for this rather expensive action should speak volumes to this Board of Town Trustees as to the commitment to preservation in this community.

Box 349 Southold, NY 11971 April 12, 2000 Dear Board of Trustees, I am writing this letter in regard to my high degree of concern with the dredging of West Lake Creek located offofthe Main Bayview Road in our Town of Southold. It has come to my understanding that there is a question as to the appropriateness of dredging the West Lake Creek waterway leading into the Little Peconic Bay. It is with my inmost feeling that the answer to this proposal would emphatically be yes. Not only will the ambiance of this tranquil setting be tainted, but I feel that this will undermine Southold's dedication to preserving the wildlife and shellfish reserves it has long since been involved with. The idea of tabling such a proposal would be ecologically unsound. In compounding my point on this matter [ find that by looking at several other creeks in the area and there lack of dredging would surely drive this point home. By sheer evidence in not dredging Midway Creek and Terry Waters creek, you can see what these areas have become; potential high taxable residences in a semi-circle around a mud puddle. It is with great pride that I own property on West Lake Creek. The sheer thought of it becoming a mud hole disheartens me considerably. Another factor that I would like [or the Board to consider, is the fact that within the last year there has been an epidemic of the West Nile Virus. I can almost guarantee that within this area there would be a great potential for this vires to promulgate. With the area creeks that were not dredged, one can only imagine the haven that these creeks have provided ibr the mosquito population. I can recall that when the Terry Waters Creek was lett to stagnate, the smell and rancid odor that emanated fi`om that creek fi`om non- dredging was unbearable and offensive. It is with these and many other factors that the Board should take high consideration in the importance of keeping West Lake Creek a viable haven for shellfish and wildlife. I canq imagine the thought of this area having homes encircling a mosquito larvae filled mud hole. I trust in my heart that with the Board's dedication to preserving wildlife and keeping Southould a wonderful place to live and visit, that they would consider not dredging the waterway of West Lake Creek into the Little Peconic Bay. Sincerely, Robert Zevits Town of Southold Board of Town Trustees Town Hall Southold, New York 11971 Patricia Kelly 1945 Little Peconic Bay Lane P.O. Box 349 Southold, New York 11971 April 12, 2000 Dear Sirs/Madams~ I am writing this letter regarding the dredging of West Lake. My family and I have been property owners on West Lake for over 35 years -- growing up and swimming in both the creek and the bay. In the past I recall our creek being dredged, thereby enhancing the swimming potential, access to our sail boat, increasing property value along the creek and assisting the bay front property owners by improving their beaches with the dredging spoils. At this time I feel the creek must be dredged again. I witnessed the deterioration of the creek at Terry Waters when people decided to stop the dredging. Not only did all the families along that creek lose, but so did the marine life and waterfowl that depended on that estuary. Take a walk through my property in the late winter or early spring, and observe for yourself the Mergansers, Buffleheads, and Goldeneyes feeding in the sheltered waters. Come by in the spring and summer and watch the Black Crowned Night Herons, Egrets and Blue Herons fishing along the shorelines. You will not see these birds feeding in the Terry Waters creek because their food supply is gone. By maintaining an open and running access to the bay, and cleaning out the accumulated silt and debris, all qualities of life, marine, fowl, human and other will be increased. Summer residents may not realize this because they are busy squeezing so much into such a short period of time. The properties along West Lake are residential and private. For some owners, this is all we've got. Please dredge West Lake both for us now and for our future generations. Thanks. Sincerely yOUrS, Patricia Kelly Joseph Zevits 97 Baylor Avenue, Hillsdale, New ~ersey 07642 April 12, 2000 Town of Southold Board of Town'~rustees, Town Hall Southold, New York 11971 Dear ~rustees, I am writing to you regarding the upcoming meeting on April 19th concerning the dredging of West Lake. Unfortunately, I will be away with my family and can- not attend. The dredging of West lake is long overdue as we have been suffering in bas- ically a stagnant, shallow and un-safe pond. Currently, access to the bay by boat is strictly limited to row boats or canoes and only at high tide. The environment is deteriorating in and around West Lake. There are no more fish. The crab population is dwindling. Each season, there are more and more dead clams, steamers, and oysters. I can remember diving, swimming, snapper fishing and crabbing in West Lake. ~ow I am extremely concerned for the health and safety of my family and the value of my property. I am also concerned about the potential of a rising mosquito population in the stagnant water if it is not dredged. Is the Town of Spothold going to allow West Lake to seal up and become a useless mosquito infested swamp like Terry Waters or the Midway Creek, just to the East? I worked long and hard to save up my money to be able to buy the property on West Lake. I am hoping that West Lake will be dredged and maintained in order to bring it back to the way it was when I purchased it; a useful and thriving body of water. Sincerely Yours, Town of Southold Board of Town Trustees Town Hall Southold, NY 11971 Ladies & Gentlemen: 505 West Cedar Point Drive Southold, NY 11971 April 13, 2000 We live on Cedar Point Drive, on the east side of West Lake. As you know, the lake is shoaling badly and the West Lake Association is seeking permission to dredge. We have been working with 3im Fitz- gerald of Proper-T Permit Services and with .loe Edgar of Hydraulitall in order to achieve this. There are so many issues at hand it's hard to know which one(s) to focus on. Wetlands, wildlife, access to the bay, property values, mosquitoes, tidal waters, boating safety--these are all of concern. If we had to choose a single issue to point to it would be wildlife. The fish, the crabs and clams; the buffleheads, the swans, the ducks, gulls and ospreys and kingfishers are the true denizens of West Lake, and must be allowed to exist as they have for uncounted years. If the lake closes, they are gone. We urge you to approve our request and grant the permits we seek. Thank you Yours t r u~//~ ~er~.~& Ti ppy (~se FROM : BRENNAN PHONE NO. : 860 5~6 1!

I will not be able to attend the hearing on April 19 on the application to open the West Lake inlet. However, I most emphatically request that you grant this application. There are a number of reasons why this application should be granted. The strongest reason lies to the north and east of my property. There is a pond which once had an opening to the bay but it is now totally blocked and what was once a vibrant salt water pond is now a stagnant, insect full, nearly lifeless pond. With all the concern about mosquitoes, encephalitis, West Nile, etc., we need to be certain that the same situation is not caused by our failure to keep the West Lake inlet open. I hold a Town mooring permit for my outboard in West Lake and I have been using this for the last two or three years. Each year the window of availability around the high tide to take the boat out into the bay diminishes. Now at Iow tide the waterflow in and out of the inlet is virtually nil. If the inlet is allowed to fill in, the town will lose not just my $30 or $40 mooring permit fee each year, but the value of the homes ringing West Lake, most with docks and outboards, will be substantially diminished with resultant lowering of assessed valuations and thousands and thousands of dollars diminished real estate taxes paid to Southold. Dredging the inlet is not some radical new activity but one which only continues the rights of the West Lake property owners to access the bay on their boats from their own docks in front of their homes. There are many, many additional reasons why this application should be granted and no valid reasons against. I request that you approve the application to dredge the West Lake inlet so that this very necessary work can take place promptly. Very truly yours, Austin J.

I am writing this letter to request and encourage you, The Board of Town Trustee's, to allow the dredging of West Lake in Southold. I am an owner of property located on this creek. As you know, this creek is in dire need of dredging. Access to the bay by boat is possible only at high tides. I am extremely concerned about the environmental ramification that would follow if this creek were not dredged. Specifically, nhe creek will close up and the body of water and all the marine wildlife will die. Essentially this creek will become an open water cesspool. In order to sustain the marine life in the creek, tidal waters must enter to provide fresh seawater and nutrients. Without this the existing fish, shellfish, crabs and other marine life will die. Along with the marine life, birds will also be affected such as the cranes, blue heron, sea gulls, ospreys and other animal life feeding off these marine creatures. This has occurred already in two creeks located in the vicinity of West Lake. Midway Creek is now dead and Terry Water Creek is now dead because of no maintenance. The only vestiges remaining are the decaying docks sitting upon black dead waters.
