Dear Mr. Heidtmann:
Please submit to the Board of Trustees revised plans indicating the changes that will be
made to your drainage system, as discussed at the site visit with Mr. Krupski on
November 8, 2005.
As indicated by several heavy rainstorms over the past month the system is working well
to drain the water. In addition to the current situation the Board wants an additional
ditch to run north of the tree on Mr. Hurtado's property and towards your back drain.
Keeping that drain cleaned help will also be helpful. Please mark this on a survey and
submit it to the Board.
Please contact this office for a final inspection at the completion of the drainage work.

Dear Mr. Heidtmann:
The Board of Trustees inspected your project on August 17, 2005 and was very
pleased with your progress, however one area of concern is the pond. The pond seems to
be built in such a way, as to block the natural flow of water from both the catch basin and
the upland areas.
There are two solutions to the problem, which the Board would like to discuss with
you prior to completing the project. Please contact Artie Foster at 258-7722 to set up a
meeting on-site at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Re: 600 Albacore Drive, Southold

Dear Mr. Heidtmann:
This letter is to serve as an agreement regarding the drainage problems on the above
referenced property. The Trustees met with you at their Wednesday March 23, 2005 work
session to discuss the drainage issues. They came to an agreement with you at that time
regarding a plan to comply with your permit and contain runoff on site. On March 28,
2005 this office sent you a letter confirming this agreement.
On April 14, 2005 you brought a plan into the Tmstee's office, indicating the plan for a
retaining wall and the connection of the trench to the drywell.
To date the only part of the agreement in place is the placement of hay bales on the
Northwest side of your property.
The Trustees are requiring that the drainage ditch to the south be cleaned out, where soil
has filled it in. The fill has covered the hay bales and the drainage ditch is now too
narrow to work correctly for containing the water. Please clean out this drainage ditch as
soon as possible.
Our understanding is that you have a long range plan of completion, that includes the
retaining wall to the north, opening the drainage ditch on the south to widen it, native
plantings around the water and landscaping, with a non-turf buffer from the 10' contour
to the perimeter of the property. The agreement/requirement is the commencement of
this work within 30 days o£receipt of this letter. The work is not required to be
completed within 30 days, but it must be started or you will be in violation of your
permit.
The Permit for the above referenced site, #5721, was issued on March 18, 2003 and was
valid for 2 years. All work is to be completed within those 24 months with a final
inspection at the end. Please apply to the Trustees for an extension to your permit if you
do not expect to be completed within the next few months.
Please be aware that failure to comply with the terms of a permit may be subject to fines
up to $4000.00. In order to avoid this we respectfully request the work be completed.
Please contact this office for a final inspection.

Dear Mr. Krupsk~:
$outhold Town
Board of Trustees
On January 15, 2003, I wrote you a letter describing a drainage problem behind and on my property (495
Dolphin Drive, Southold) caused by construction of a home at 600 Albacore Drive, and requested the
Board of Trustees in helping me to resolve this problem. On January 22, 2003, I attended a Board of
Trustees meeting to present my situation to the Board, since the hearing was scheduled to include
addressing a wetlands issue involving 600 Albacore Drive. Unfortunately, Mr. Glenn Heidtmann, owner
and builder for the 600 Albacore Drive property, cancelled his hearing at the last moment.
If you recall, 1 did have the chance to speak to you briefly in the hall to explain my situation. As a result
of our conversation, you suggested that I speak with Mr. Scott Hughes to see if he could help me,
especially with regard to inspecting the problem area. However, after discussion with Mr. Hughes and
trying to schedule an inspection, he suggested that the best way to proceed would be to formally request
of the Board of Trustees a site inspection. It is my understanding that the next date for site inspections is
scheduled for March 12, 2003. Therefore, 1 would like to request that my property be included on the site
inspection list for March 12. Since I would like to be present at the site inspection, I also would like to
request that I be informed of the time. My preference would be either for early morning or late afternoon.
I have enclosed a survey of my property for your information.
Please call me to confirm receipt of this letter to schedule the site inspection on March 12. In the interim,
if you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call me during the
work day at (516) 364-9890 or during the evening at (516) 676-4352. Thank-you for your consideration
in this matter.

Dear Mr. Krupski:
This letter is to request the help of the Board of Trustees in resolving a serious drainage and
flooding problem adjacent to and on my property. My property is Section 57, Block 1, Lot 23
located at 495 Dolphin Drive in Southold Shores. A low lying area is located on Lot No. 20
adjacent to my property, which previously was drained by a ditch maintained by the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) Vector Control. As a note, I have been
discussing this problem and have met with the Town of Southold Highway Department (Mr.
Peter Harris and Mr. Charles King) and Building Department (Mr. Bruno Semon), and the
SCDHS Vector Control (Mr. Thomas Iwanejko).
When the house on Lot No. 21 was being constructed in the spring (2002), I spoke to Mr. Glenn
Heidtmann, who is the owner of the lot and builder, about a drainage problem he was creating
behind my house because he fi'lled in the drainage ditch that ran through his property and was
maintained by SCDHS Vector Control. He explained that he was aware of the problem and that,
as part of development of his property, he would construct a culvert to replace the drainage ditch
he filled.
It is my understanding that the Board of Trustees have placed a stop work order on Lot No. 21
due to construction within 100 feet of wetlands. By not allowing Mr. Heidtmann to install a
culvert, this has caused the entire Lot No. 20 to flood and encroach at least 40 feet on to my
property, which is getting worse after each precipitation event.
I would like to petition the Board of Trustees to direct and allow Mr. Heidtmann to construct the
culvert he told me he was going to install in order to relieve the flooding problem on my property
as soon as possible, since the water is threatening to flood my garage and is getting to within
about 40 feet of my house. If a culvert cannot be installed at this time, I would like to request
that Mr. Heidtmann be directed by the Board to construct a temporary drainage ditch at this time
to relieve the water.
Albert Krupski

Since I do not think I will be able to attend the wetland permit hearing on Lot No. 21 on January
22, 2003, I would like to request that this be entered into and read at this meeting, and request
your help in resolving this problem which is seriously impacting my property and threatening my
house. In addition, this flooding situation and standing water will create a serious mosquito
breeding problem in the summer and a potential health problem.
If you have any questions with regard to this matter or require additional information, please do
not hesitate to call me at 516-364-9890 (office) or 516-676-4352 (home). Thank-you for your
consideration in this matter, which is of extreme concern and importance to me. As a note, if
you think it is important that I attend the January 22 hearing, I will try to rearrange my schedule.

Dear Mr. Kmpski;
This letter concerns an application by Glenn Heidtmann for a wetlands permit to build a house on
Lot 21, Map of Southold Shores. I have lived here for almost 30 years and hope that Mr. Heidtmann will
be able to build a home here. However, there are problems which should be addressed and which he
should have considered when plann'mg to build. About 25 years ago Henry Voelbel resided in a home on
Lot 23 of this subdivision which adjoins Lot 21 and is now owned by Carl Christianson. Mr. Voelbel
asked me what he could do to solve the problem of water standing in his basement. 1 told him that there
were two things he could do; (1) install a pump and keep pumping although there was no place to pump
the water to and it would keep coming back, (2) fill in the basement. I believe that he finally followed
my second suggestion. I was smprised to see Mr. Heidtmann excavate for a basement knowing that it
would flood when there was a period of wet weather. The grade of the lot was raised so that it forms a
dam which prevents the natural flow of water from Lot 20 to a drain on Blue Marlin Drive. For years the
Suffolk County Mosquito Commission ( now Vector Control ) maintained a drainage ditch through this
property which is closed up by the regrading. At the present time most of Lot 20 is flooded and I hear
that someone is planning to build there.
The only drain that carries away the accumulation of water on these lots runs from the north side
of Blue Marlin Drive south to the bay through private property. It was placed there over 30 years ago by
the owner of the lot through which it runs. If this drain pipe ever becomes stopped up there will really be
a serious flooding problem. When the Town took over the roads several years ago I explained the
situation to Ray Jacobs and gave him a map showing the existing drainage.
There is a small basin at the comer of Blue Marlin Dr. and Dolphin Dr. Apiperuns fromthis
basin along the west side of Lot 3 to the bay which was installed by the owner of Lot 3. Later the
Southold Shores Association had a pipe installed on the east side of Dolphin Drive from this basin to an
inlet at Lot 19.
The "Map of Southold Shores" which was filed in 1963 shows several drams which were
probably shown on the subdivision map to have it approved but were never completed. Small bas'ms with
curb inlets were placed at these locations but were never connected to any drainage structure and as there
are no curbs these basins would serve no purpose even if they were so connected.
If I were Mr. Heidmaann I would forget a basement and use a concrete slab on grade as a
foundation. A full basement will have to be designed 100 % waterproof with a reinforced concrete floor
slab designed as a structural slab to withstand hydrostatic uplit~ pressure. I doubt that any contractor
would construct such a foundation. He must be required to provide a drain through his property to
replace the former drainage ditch.
I am sure that you are already aware of most o£the foregoing facts but I thought it wise to inform
you mayway as most of the residents in the area now were not here 25 or 30 years ago.
Very truly yours,

Albacore Drive, Southold, New York
SCTM #: 1000- 51 - 01 -21
I have reviewed the file and inspected the site referenced above for drainage and surface water runoff
concerns. This property is located in a Flood Zone "X" which is not regulated, but it is surrounded by a Zone of
AE (Elev. 8) that is. The roads within this subdivision were dedicated to the Town approximately 10 years ago.
At that time, all road & site drainage was directed through a Iow lying ditch systems that diverted all run-off to the
Iow vegetated wetland areas surrounding the Subdivision.
At that time, the lot referenced above had a ditch system traversing the site. This ditch allowed the
roads and other surrounding lots to adequately drain off. Since the excavations for construction began, the
drainage system has failed. Ditches were filled in and water has backed up creating flooding conditions that had
never existed prior to excavations and grading of this site. In addition, the area excavated for the basement or
crawl space has been totally filled in with water. Due to the amount of clayed material disturbed during the
excavation and the amount of water present, any foundations placed or constructed to support new construction
at this site will need to have project specific engineering performed by a licensed professional to verify the
stability of the foundation system proposed for new construction. Simply filling the hole with excavated clayed
material would not be considered suitable or stable enough to support any new construction.
With the amount of clay in the area, it is highly unlikely that standard drainage systems would provide
adequate recharge to solve the current drainage problems. I would recommend that the applicant be required
to provide a complete drainage design prepared by a licensed engineer that would rectify the above referenced
site drainage problems.
If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact my office.

I inspected the site today and here are my observations. It appears that wetlands occur in the area immediately to the east
of the fill and to the west of the fill...standing water currently exists in both areas. Most likely, the applicant filled a portion
of the wetland system to the east, however, the current fill makes it difficult to determine how much. The fill pad was
placed in the area to construct a single family residence with a garage. Following placement of the fill pad the applicant
dug through the fill pad to below grade. The area that was dug filled with groundwater and precipitation. The reason it
filled so quickly is due to a high groundwater elevation coupled with poorly drained soils (most likely a wetland system
depending on grade). The soil type consists of Riverhead Sandy Loam 0 to 3 percent and Walpole Sandy Loam which is
commonly found along the margins of tidal marshes and creeks. Walpole Sandy Loam is poorly drained or somewhat
poorly drained soils with a seasonal hiqh water table.
The SEQR form submitted is incorrect in that it does not identify wetlands in the significant habitat area section. However,
no wetlands were shown on the survey. No wetlands were also identified in the Trustee application in addition, no fill was
identified either. The 6' wide "ditch" is misleading in that although it is a swale it also is a wetland system. Only if all
drainage systems could look like that. The Trustees may want to request the submission of a long EAF now based upon
new information not previously stated.
I also would be concerned with drainfield failure regarding the septic system. The applicant is creating a building pad
surrounded by high water in certain seasons. I think that a basement may not be possible.., even a foundation may
require dewatering the site. Due to the hydrology, this site may not be the best location for a below grade home. The
Trustees may want to require an engineers report mapping groundwater elevations in regard to the septic and home
design as a supplemental item to the SEQR review. Silt fence, hay bales and/or removal of fill could be required at this
time to prevent the further encroachment into the wetland drainage system limiting its function. Note that many of the
surrounding lots most likely will exhibit the same high groundwater elevations.

$outhold Town
Board of Trustees
This letter is to request help of the Board of Trustees in msoMng the serious drainage
and flooding problem adjacent to and on my property, which is located at 495 Dolphin
Drive, Southold.
It is my understanding that the property in the mar of my home, which is owned by Mr.
Glen Heidtmann was issued a building permit, with the condition that he install and
maintain a working drainage system on his property so that my property does not flood.
We have written to you before and the situation has been partially handled in that the
drainage system was partially installed, but has not been maintained. As a result, the
flooding problem still remains and every year we must call to complain to you so that Mr.
Heidtmann complies with the stipulations that were attached to his building permit. We
spoke to Mr. Heidtmann this past weekend about the problem and asked if he could clean
out the drainage ditch and the catch basin which appears to be silted in and blocked. IfI
recall correctly, one of the conditions was the Mr. Heidtmann install hay bales to prevent
silting and blockage of the drainage system, which I do not think was done. Mr.
Heidtmann said we have to be patient umil he finishes construction of his house, which
at the rate of his construction could be years. I understand that he has already been
granted one extension on his building permit. We would like this situation corrected
immediately, because every day that it rains means our yard floods and our shrubs are
being drowned and the crawl space of our house fills with water.
Please help us as soon as possible. All we want is a working drainage system that is a
requirement of Mr. Heidtmann's building permit and stipulated by the Board of
Trustees. Please call me at (516) 6764352 when you receive this letter and respond in
writing to my letter.

Re: 450 and 600 Albacore Drive, Southold
Dear Mr. King:
On November 7, 2oo5, I sent two letter to Mr. Krupski: one requesting that a CO not
be issued to Mr. Heidtmann for 6o0 Albacore Drive by the Town, until I agreed that the
drainage system had been properly constructed and is effective in draining water from the
adjacent property (45o Albacore Drive); and the second was that I be notified in writing by
the Town when plans for a development of 45o Albacore Drive were re-submitted to the
To~m.
In both of these letters, I requested that I receive a written response from the Town
which I have not received to date. Although I was told verbally that I would be notified if
any plans were re-submitted for 450 Albacore, I again request written responses to both
November 7 letters which are attached.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (516) 571-125° (work)

Dear Mr. Krupski:
As a follow up to our telephone convemation last week, I am requesting that I be
notified by the Town of Southold when the application to develop the above referenced
property is re-submitted to the Town. As you are aware there are substantial wetlands at
the above referenced property and there is a wetland delineation issue with the property
that caused the initial development application to be rejected by the Town.
Any change in plans to develop the property will, if it can be accomplished at all,
require a substantial deviation from the initial plan. As such, all adjoining and potentially
affected property owners should be notified directly of any re-submittal of a plan to
develop this property. It is my understanding that during our conversation, you agreed
with my request. Please provide me with a written response to this letter.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me at (516)

Heidtmann Property
Dear Mr. Krupski:
During our telephone convemation last week, you mentioned that a Certificate of
Occupancy will not be issued at the above referenced property until proper eoustruction of
the property's drainage system is completed. As you are aware, the system to drain the
adjacent property located north of 600 Albacore Drive (450 Albacore Drive), is not
complete in that it is not effective. The existing open drainage ditch is too shallow and is
blocked by a tree.
Even if the open ditch is properly constructed, it is unknown how effective the entire
system will be in providing adequate drainage. This will probably not be known until the
spring when heavy precipitation occurs.
Because of this ongoing and still un-resolved matter after over 3 V2 years, and the
flooding it causes on my property, I respectively request that I be made part of the
decision-making process to issue a CO to this property. Since I am the affected party, I will
be able to determine if the drainage system is properly constructed and effective. I would
also like to request a written response to this letter,

Dear Ms. Cusack:
JAN 3: 20C6
Thank you for your letter of January 9, 2006.
Last weekend, I observed the ditch that Mr, Heidtmann recently constructed. While
he did re-ruute it around the tree, he also covered the water collector into which the water
is to flow completely with soil and the trench dead ends full of water. As a result, the
drainage situation is worst than ever. Before there was, even if inadequate, at least some
drainage. Now there is none.
At this point, I request that the Board of Trustees issue Mr. Heidtmann a substantial
fine for not doing what he said he would do four years ago and agreed again to do at the
June 22, 2005 Trustees meeting, that is to install an effective drainage system to prevent
flooding of my propm~-.

SCTM #57-1-21
Dear Ms. Cusack:
Thank you for copying me on your letter to Mr. Glenn Heidtmann dated
November 22, 2005, however I have to take exception to the statement that "the
(drainage) system is working well to drain the water". Perhaps you were referring to the
system on the east side of Mr. Heidtmann's property, but the system on the west side,
which causes flooding of my property, is not working well.
In addition to the tree which is blocking the ~vest drainage ditch, as discussed
previously, the drainage ditch is too shallow and the "water collector" in the south ~vest
comer of Mr. Heidtmann's property is blocked with silt because erosion controls have not
been provided as directed by the Board of Trustees. In addition, it is very likely that the
collector itself is filled with silt and cannot work effectively.
As you are aware, at the June 22, 2005 Board of Trustees meeting, it was agreed
by the Board and Mr. Heidtmann, that Mr. Heidtmann was to complete all drainage
work; including construction of an effective system to drain water from the property west
at 450 Albacore within 60 days, that being August 22, 2005. To date this still has not
been completed.
At a minimum, in addition to the drainage ditch being routed north/west of the
tree as directed in your November 22, 2005 letter, the entire west drainage ditch needs to
be deepened, silt blocking the water collector needs to be removed and the water
collector itself should be cleaned out to ensure that the system works properly as
intended, which is to drain water from the 450 Albacore property in an effective and
timely manner. To make matters worse, Mr. Heidtmann has recently l>laced about 4 feet
of soil l~artiall¥ over the water collector, which interferes with maintenance of the
drainaee svstem. While Mr. Heidtmann finds plenty of time to work on his house, garage,
lawn and pond, he has chosen time and again to ignore his responsibility to construct an
effective drainage system as agreed to at the June 22, 2005 meeting.
I request a written response to this letter. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at (516) 571 ~ 1250 (xvork) or
(516) 676-4352 (home). As a note, I am now going on four years in trying to resolve
this drainage problem.

Heidtmann Property
600 Albacore Drive, Southold
Dear Mr. Johnston:
At your suggestion, I am writing this letter as a follow-up to the Board of Trustees
Work Session held on lune 22, 2005.
As I explained at the work session, I have been trying to get the drainage problem
behind my home, located at 495 Dolphin Drive, solved for over three years. The lot
behind my home is a natural collection point for drainage in the area. This area was
drained by a ditch constructed many years ago and maintained by Suffolk County
Mosquito Control. When Mr. Heidtmann started to build his house, he filled in the
drainage ditch which created a flooding problem and caused water to back up onto my
property. It also created standing, stagnant water which is a breeding haven for
mosquitoes.
As a result of this situation, I petitioned the Board of Trustees to require Mr.
Heidtmann to correct the problem. In response, the Board, as a condition of his permit,
required him to construct a drainage system to relieve the flooding. After three years, in
spite of all of his numerous promises to the Board and me, the drainage system is still not
installed, and every winter and spring, water backs up onto my property so much so that
it locally raises the water table which floods my crawl space. Last year I had to install a
sump pump system to relieve the water in the crawl space.
On January t5, 2003, February 12, 2003, April 13, 2004 and February 16, 2005,
my wife and I have written the Board of Trustees to resolve this matter and enforce the
conditions of Mr. Heidtmann's permit (copies of letters attached). Also, 1 have met with
Trustees during site inspections, including Mr. Krupski, and appeared before the Board in
2003, 2004 and 2005, again asking their assistance, the result of which is that the Board
meets with Mr. Heidtmann, he promises to comply with his permit and nothing happens.
In fact, the situation is getting worse as evidenced by the Board letter to Mr. Heidtmann
dated May 9, 2005, directing him to clean up the ditch on the somh side of his house
which he partially filled in and to re-establish the silt fence and hay bales he covered.
Not only did he not follow the Board's directives, but he filled in the ditch even more,
including covering wetland vegetation. It is apparent that Mr. Heidtmann has not only no
regard for the problem he has created, nor for his neighbors, but also has no regard for the
Board of Trustees. His standard procedure is to claim hardship, tell everyone what they
want to hear and does what he warns.
At the June 22 work session, Mr. Heidtmann was given 60 days to restore the
drainase ditch he filled in, including returning the grades to that shown on his building
permit and re-establishing the erosion controls, and to complete a working drainage
system. (Unfortunately, we will not know if the system functions properly until next
winter and spring.) I hope that the Board keeps its word to take enforcement action if
everything is not completed by August 22, including issuance of the maximum fine of
$4,000, and an additional $4,000 every 30 days until it is complete. Ia/so request that a
certificate of occupancy not be issued to Mr. HeidOnann until after next spring to
ensure that the drainage system operates properly as he claitns it will
I hope that you will be able to help me in this matter. I think I have been more
than reasonable and patient in trying to resolve this problem amicably. If you have any
further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(516) 676-4352.
