NEXT MEETING: None scheduled!
The committee began by reviewing and completing discussion on various mooring requests
and concerns, Please see attachment.
Quite a bit of discussion took place over the Schone:er moorine: which inadvertently was
placed before committee discussion. Some committee members felt that the size and class of
the Schonger vessel warranted moving the boat further into the west mooring field in the
vicinity of similar class vessels. Other members disagreed that this was necessary stating that
aesthetics was not a good reason to move the vessel. All committee members agreed that
because the vessel has been noted to have live aboards, the vessel should be moved to one of
the two vacancies in the east mooring field created by moving the two transient moorings
closer to the rock pile. Leslie Goss agreed to contact the Schongers and Pirate's Cove Marine
about moving the mooring.
The committee identified a location for the Coleman moorine: between the Mobil docks and
Goose Isiand in the vicinity of MAGIC, GREY GULL and DELPHINIA. Leslie Goss agreed
to contact Mr. Coleman and Pirate's Cove Marine about moving the mooring.
In the course of these discussions it was determined that moorine:s closest to shore in the east
moorine: field in West Harbor should be used Drimarilv for storae:e. Moorings that the
committee knows will be used primarily for live aboard use should not be right along the
shore as a courtesy to property owners in the vicinity of the east mooring field.
Also in the course of discussion, Harris Parsons thought it a good idea to try and mark (with
a buov of some sort) some of the rocks in the vicinity of Goose Island. It was suggested that
Leslie Goss call Chandler, Palmer & King to see if it would be possible to do an overlay of
moorings to coincide with the 1993 Southold aerial photos. \ .:1-.. J. .J.L

Comments were made that the nuns and cans in West Harbor appear to have moved, not to
mention the harbor flasher is not level. One of the committee members stated that the loran

coordinates used to set the nuns and cans are not accurate due to surrounding terrain.
The committee discussed manal!ement of the transient moorinl!s. It was agreed that until the
Fishers Island Harbor Management Plan is approved in Southold and a separate Fishers Island
Harbor Management Fund is created, fees charged for transient moorings in Summer '95
would be collected and maintained by the management agent The committee agreed to set
the fee at $30 per night per transient mooring, and $50 for a raft of two vessels. The
committee agreed to review and assess effective management of transient moorings on an
annual basis.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30am
