STATEMENT FORM
I, Lili Ann Motta, being duly sworn, depose and say:
I. I reside at 1870 Stars Road, East Marion, New York. I have lived there since
July 1980.
2. I am familiar with the property at 1225 Aquaview Avenue, East Marion, New
York. I was acquainted with the former owners, the Salamones and the
Greenes. I was a guest at the premises on many occasions.
3. During my visits as a guest I had occasion to observe and enter the structure
known as the "beach cottage"
4. The structure was a one room wood building. At that time the floor was
almost flush with the surface of the beach. The structure was used for storage
of beach equipment, rafts, life preservers, oars, fishing poles, chairs etc.
5. I still have access to the beach and have had the opportunity to observe the
new structure at that location. It appears to be an entirely new, different
building from what I know to have been there. The most noticeable difference
is the necking surrounding the building, the windows and doors, the siding,
outdoor shower at it's being set back into the face of the bluff.

Re: Teperman Appeal
SCTM 100-21-2-16
Dear Supervisor Russell and Members of the Board:
This letter is written to summarize the issue raised in the appeal filed on behalf of Dr. and
Mrs. Lewis Teperman. As you will recall, the Trustees granted the coastal erosion permit for
the structure. The appeal arises from the conditions set forth in the decision which acted to
convert the pre-existing beach cabana into a storage shed. None of the conditions imposed by
the Trustees bears any relation to the structure and possible mitigation ofthe impact of the
structure on the bluff. Instead, the conditions relate to the nature ofthe use of the structure.
The Coastal Erosion law addresses the possible impacts of structures in the designated
Coastal areas. The conditions set forth in the trustees' decision do not address any such
impacts.
During the appeal seeking the modification of these conditions, the Town Board
expressed question as to whether the structure is located on the beach or the bluff. The Trustees
determined that the structure is on the bluff area and this question is not the subject of this
appeal. The proceeding before the Town Board is not a de novo proceeding. It is a hearing on
the question raised on the appeal. The question presented on the appeal was the appropriateness
ofthe conditions imposed on the permit granted. No other issue has been presented by an appeal
to this board.
The question of the location of the structure was answered by the Town Trustees. At the
several hearings before the Trustees, evidence was presented which included, aerial photographs
and surveys from licensed land surveyors which established that the cabana structure was "cut
into the bluff' and that it is located landward of the toe of the bluff. [The toe line ofthe bluff is
depicted on the surveys that were before the Town Trustees and which have been made a part of
the record before the Town Board] The photographs show bluff vegetation surrounding the
cabana structure on three sides. No evidence was presented either at the Trustee hearings nor
during the appeal to contradict the Trustees' determination.
A second concern was raised at the appeal before the Southold Town Board related to the
extent or degree to which the pre-existing beach cabana had been reconstructed. However,
restoration of structures is permitted by our Coastal Erosion law which also permits new
construction on bluff areas subject to certain restrictions. Section 3 7-l7(B)( 4) expressly allows
"non-major additions to existing structures on bluffs" 1 Non-major additions are defined as those
which are less than a 25 percent increase in the size ofthe original structure. Rrestoration of
existing structures is permitted as well. The point to be made is that existing structures can be
repaired through normal maintenance and can be restored as well. A structure undergoing
restoration, which is defined as reconstruction, can even be modified as long as the
reconstruction with modifications does not exceed the pre-existing size limits. [Southold Town
Code section 37-6 definitions of normal maintenance and restoration]
In summary, the appeal before the Town Board seeks the modification of the decision
rendered by the Southold Town Trustees In an appeal to the Town Board sitting as the "Board of
Review" an appeal can seek to reverse or affirm wholly or partially or may modify the decision
ofthe Town Trustees [Section 37-35] In the appeal before the Town Board it is respectfully
requested that the determination of the Trustees be modified by striking the conditions that were
imposed with the permit that was granted.
Very truly yours,
(

SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
PUBLIC HEARING
June 20, 2006
9:00 A.M.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board of
the Town of Southold hereby sets JUNE 20, 2006 at 9:00 a.m., Southold Town Hall,
53095 Main road, Southold, New York as the time and place for a public hearing on the
question of appealing the determination of the Southold Town Trustees dated December
21,2005, which decision denied the application of Dr & Mrs. Teperman for beach house
repairs as built and proposed. The property in question is identified by SCTM# 1000-21-
2-16. The application was denied under Chapter 37 (Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas) of
the Town Code.
A more detailed description of the above mentioned application is on file in the Southold
Town Clerk's Office, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, and may be examined by
any interested person during business hours.
I have notification that this has appeared as a legal in the newspaper and it has appeared
on the Town Clerk's bulletin board outside. I might just mention that this hearing was
originally scheduled for May 23'd, at that time it was adjourned at the request of the
applicant and put on the agenda or requested for a later date and today's date, this
morning at 9:00 is that date.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to open up the floor for public comment.
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: I would suggest for convenience that
the Board consider adopting the record below and incorporating into the record of the
appeal including the minutes and all exhibits that were introduced at that hearing.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I might add that I have all of those records and
commentary are in the file here but it is really too voluminous to read at this date.
WILLIAM MOORE: William Moore, attorney for the Teperman's. Good morning. Let
me just begin by sharing with you some information that you can follow along with. I
appreci'!te your suggestion on the record. That was going to be my request as well, so I
join in yours. I have one set of photographs in color, so you can see the property area
that we~are talking about. And then a folder for each of you with some of the information
that will be helpful as well. Let me begin by saying is that what we are appealing here is
actually the granting of a permit. The decision the Trustee's granted the permit under
coastal erosion and then imposed a series of conditions. So for clarification, we will stick
with affirming the grant of the permit but we will adjust our comments and our concerns
with the conditions imposed. If you look at the property and we are talking about
Aquaview off of Stars Road and Rocky Point Road up in East Marion; high bluff area
and historically, down on that beach along those properties have been since the 30's and
40's and throughout, a series of beach cabana's. The photographs that are in that record
and are here show that. In fact, there is seven of these beach cabanas down in that area,
of which the Teperman's are now the owners of one and the upland house. This says
these cabana's were built back in the 50's and sometimes earlier. The subject property of
the Teperman's, the cabana actually at one point served as the first dwelling on the
property back in the 40's and the 50's that cabana was used and it wasn't until 1975 that
the house was built at the top of the bluff. A little bit of trivia, it was the house that was
owned by the star of Bonanza, Lome Green, so you are familiar with the property. The
Ponderosa. As I said, what we are talking about here is the Trustees granting the Coastal
Erosion permit for the structure and a lot of testimony was gone back and forth in that
record but the bottom line is, in their decision the Trustee's acknowledged the historic
existence of the structure and in the basic footprint that was there. That is not up for
discussion or question by us. The Trustee's focus was more on the use of the structure
and historic use. And I make more of a lawyer's argument at the moment that is not
really the subject of the Coastal Erosion law. The Trustee's reflected the concern of what
was inside the structure and how it was going to be used rather than the fact the structure
was there and yet in their decision, they acknowledge the structure. So I can tell you this,
in reading the comments from the hearings below, there was great concern that this had
been used as dwelling and could continue to be used as a dwelling and I offer to the
Board now that in lieu of the conditions, if you look in the folder I presented you, the first
document in there is the decision. Page 2 of that decision sets forth a series of conditions
and what the Trustees did was deny the application for the as-built beach house, turn
around and granted the Coastal Erosion permit; classified the structure as a storage shed
and then imposed a series of conditions saying remove all of these various things. The
plumbing. In the premises there is a state of the art composting toilet replacing what used
to be there back in the 30's and 40's, it was actually a toilet and there was a rudimentary
sanitary system. There was even a well down there on the beach. The well has been
capped off and closed. Water is brought down from the house above, as it is in all the
cabanas up and down the beach there. And there is electric there, as has been since the
40's or so. But these conditions, A through F, if you look at them reflect more on the use
and not the structure because I said the Trustees authorized and granted the structure to
remain there with these modifications. So my first, my offer or suggestion to the Board if
the concern is that it might be used as a dwelling now or in the future; we would be
happy to impose a condition on the permit that was granted denying its use as a dwelling
and to go so far as to impose a covenant on the property so that anybody buying the
property would know it cannot be used as a dwelling. No sleeping quarters. It is simply
down there, what had been has been replaced and removed. There was an old kitchen in
there with a stove. The stove was removed, it was unsafe. There was a sink in there with
running water; there is an outdoor shower. As I mentioned before, the toilet was
removed and put in the biolet, the Swedish biolet compo sting toilet is in there and we
would be happy with a permit that restricts and prohibits it as a dwelling space. That is
not the intention, it is not its use and that would be perfectly satisfactory with us. As I
said, there has been and continues to be electric service down there and water and that is
it. It is not used for anything else but a summer respite from the sun. They did throw in,
for her 85 year old mother, a through the wall air-conditioning unit. Makes it
comfortable for mom out of the sun when you are down there. It is quite a set of steps to
go from the bluff down to the beach. That may seem a little excessive but it is there for
her comfort and convenience. Again, we are talking about the use of the structure. No
sleeping quarters, no cooking facilities. Weare not talking about stoves and any attempt
to try and make this a second home on the property. I have Tom Cramer here. Tom has
been a consultant for the Town in the past and Tom presented information, testimony to
the Board then and he has some comments and observations about the conditions
imposed as they relate to the Coastal Erosion law. I will just take you through before I
have Tom speak. The other documents in your file for information is a survey of the
property showing existing conditions, there are historical surveys in there and like I said,
the Trustees didn't question the structure. We had aerial photographs presented, we had
in here is a survey dating back to 1973, so the structure has been there. There is no
disputes there. We have affidavits from neighbors and former owners as to the existence
of the structures. At this point, I would ask Tom to come up and make some
observations. His cv is in the file there for you and his professional report with regard to
L WRP and the Coastal Erosion law are there for you. Thank you.
THOMAS CRAMER: Good morning. For the record, my name is Thomas Cramer,
principal firm of Cramer Consulting Group. The office is at 54 North Country Road in
Miller Place. I have for the Board copies of some letter reports that I had done. The first
one was dated back in....
JUSTICE EVANS: I think Bill went through that.
MR. CRAMER: November 24th. Okay. And then subsequent to that, Ms. Moore asked
me to take a look at the decision by the Board and I also prepared a letter report. I have
copies here which I will hand out. Just for the, a little bit more on my background, I was
as Bill stated, I have been a planning and environmental consultant to the Town of
Southold in the past. I also was the director of Environmental Protection, as well as the
Commissioner of Planning and Environment for the Town of Brookhaven. As such, in
those capacities I developed and was Chief Executive officer for the implementation of
the Town of Brookhaven's Coastal Erosion hazard area program, as well as the L WRP. I
have worked with the Department of State as guest speaker in several of their workshops
with regard to both of those programs. So I am thoroughly familiar with the ordinance.
The state's part 505, the Coastal Erosion now with the local waterfront revitalization and
coastal erosion is the basis of the Town of Southold's ordinance, so again, I am very
familiar with all of the programs. I took a look at the resolution that was adopted by the
Trustees and there was nine whereas', where they discussed why they granted this permit
and why they put the conditions on it. The first four basically went into that the Trustees
reviewed the project and did field inspections and took testimony. Numbers five and
nine both dealt with the Town of Southold's LWRP and stated that it was inconsistent
with the L WRP. In my professional opinion, it is not. And most of the, there was no
analysis provided, it was just a listing of these policies. The November 24th letter goes
into details as far as each one of those and I won't repeat them at this point but most of
them were found to be really irrelevant because this was a existing structure on the site, it
was not new construction, there was not a proposed increase in size than what was there
originally. The sixth one stated that it was in, it was a historic structure and recognized
the uses on the particular property. Number eight went on to say that the structure
underwent extensive rebuilding and it was not considered ordinary cosmetic repair. This
statement itself is unclear as far as what that meant because no where in the Town's
weHands ordinance nor the Coastal Erosion hazard ordinance does it talk anything about
that. However the Town's Coastal Erosion hazard does define normal maintenance,
which this would fall under. There was testimony put on the record with regard to the
status of the uses; there was the previous owners provided testimony to the uses that were
on the property, however there was a number of residents that, well, walked along the
beach and said that there was a change in it. Certainly there was a change, there was
windows replaced and things like that and different siding put on. However, this could
be considered under the periodic repair and maintenance of the same kind of structural
elements and protection that is included under the definition of normal maintenance. In
addition, under Chapter 36, they talk about activities that are specifically allowed within
a bluff area, which this structure is located on and it talks specifically about non-major
additions to existing structures are allowed on the bluffs pursuant to obtaining a coastal
management permit. Although non-major is not defined in the code, major is. And they
consider major additions of structures being greater than 25 percent of the existing
ground area coverage of an existing structure. So they don't even go into uses, it just
talks about the square footage of the ground area coverage and as stated in the record and
is recognized by the Trustees, this structure existed into the 50's, we have aerial photos
which I don't know whether Bill provided but I have copies, one copy for the Board here
from 1976, again in 1993 and 2000 that show the structure essentially in its current
configuration on the beach and I will hand in a copy of that for the record. The seventh
whereas states that no residences are allowed within the coastal erosion areas. This is not
the case. Nowhere through the ordinance does it states that residences are not allowed
within the coastal erosion hazard area. In fact, nowhere in the ordinance is there mention
of residence, homes, houses or any types of structures like that. They specifically talk
about structures, so as far as saying there are no residences allowed in it, this is incorrect.
In fact, the ordinance does allow for the continuation of existing structures in the areas.
Depending on which natural erosion protection feature it is in does it relate to how it can
be maintained. But for bluff areas, as I said before, existing structures that relate to non-
major additions are allowed within the bluff area.
UNIDENTIFIED: (Inaudible)
MR. CRAMER: This is, the structure is on the bluff. The definition ofthe beach goes up
to the toe of the bluff, so the structure, if you look at the survey, shows the bluff line or
the beach line running right across in front of the structure. So it is considered the bluff
area. The beach would be in front ofthe toe ofthe bluff.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Is it one ofthese pictures?
MR. CRAMER: No. In the survey. The survey shows the toe of the bluff and
essentially cuts in front of the structure.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Is it the bOllom one?
MR. CRAMER: Yes. The toe of the bluff... ..if you look at the survey, the survey clearly
shows the toe of the bluff and the structure is set back into the bluff on the bluff and it
runs right in front of the structure. But again, this is the, as Bill stated, the Trustees did
grant the permit for it and it does fall within the bluff area as defined. There is probably
the boardwalks extend out onto the beach area but not the deck or the structure itself.
Again, as previously noted, they talk about the removal of the plumbing, the plumbing
vent, including the portable toilet, all utilities; appliances, electric, air-conditioner, glass,
windows and doors on the north side of the structure. Yet they also exclude the shower
in part of their approval, so the approval is even contradicting. In one place they say you
can keep the shower and the others say you have to remove all the plumbing. Again,
these types of uses do not effect the erosion of the, they are already existing, they do not
affect potential erosion on the site because they are existing and they are allowed within
the ordinance of the town. That pretty much covers it. Again, looking at the structure, it
is, it has existed. The ordinance does allow for it, the ordinance specifically talks about
existing structures and the increase of them being the footprint of them, not the use under
the erosion hazard area. If the Board has any questions, I would be glad to try to answer
them.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: Was this an as-built application?
MR. CRAMER: Yes.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: And prior to the application, was the structure removed?
MR. CRAMER: No. The structure remained in place.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: I note in the Trustees whereas, they note that a new foundation
was built.
MR. CRAMER: I don't know whether new pilings were put in or something. Maybe
Bill can speak to that.
MR. MOORE: This was an existing locust post foundation. Additional posts were put in
to sister or marry up with the existing ones that were there.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: Was the structure replaced?
MR. MOORE: No, this is an as-built, replaced in place and in kind, with elements, it was
resided, not shingled but re-roofed. The footprint remained the same, the posts are there,
you know, it was rebuilt where it is. Let me just answer a question for Tom (inaudible) if
you can have it, what we are looking at is the Coastal Erosion law and its underlying
purposes. And I have provided you a copy of that statute, which is our own Town Code,
the purposes of the law. What I had asked Tom to comment upon in his opinion
(inaudible) structures and the impacts of structures on erosion, not the uses of the
structures, do the conditions imposed by the Trustees decision in any reasonable way
advance the purposes ofthe law and Tom, I ask you to comment or answer that question.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: My question really goes to whether before the permit was
issued, if the structure was taken down to the posts; in which case, there would be no
structure there and your 25% addition would come into play.
MR. CRAMER: Okay. As I understand it, the structure was not removed, it was just
strictly repaired in place.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: So the Trustees 'whereas, they found a new foundation for the
structure is incorrect?
MR. CRAMER: As Bill said, there was existing locusts posts there and they provided
additional posts underneath to sister the existing posts. As I understand it, they were not
removed, the structure was not removed. It was essentially repaired in place, which is
provided in the ordinance for existing structures. And again, the only thing that would
not be allowed is major construction, which is expansion of the footprint area, the ground
coverage area greater than 25%. We could have gone up to 25% and still been a
permitted activity within that area, however, that didn't occur. It is essentially the same
footprint has just been repaired in place.
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: I have a question about the bluff
(inaudible) an important legal question. All development is prohibited on beaches....
MR. CRAMER: That is correct.
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: On bluffs there is a slightly different
standard. I am reading the definition of bluffs here and in the law it says a bluff is any
bank or cliff with a precipitous or steeply sloped base adjoining a beach or body of water.
Can you show me, you know, aside from the survey that says it is on the bluff, can you
show me a picture that shows that it is on the bluff? Under that definition.
MR. CRAMER: If you look on either side of the structure, the toe of the bluff stops just
at the seaward edge of the structure. If you continue across...
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: Where is the precipitous, steeply
sloped base?
MR. MOORE: This structure is cut into the bluff behind the structure and unfortunately I
didn't provide a photograph of that. I would be happy to add it if you like, from behind
the structure. There is a retaining wall behind the structure showing that this thing is set
back into the bluff area and the Trustees didn't make any observations or findings as far
as it being on the beach and prohibiting it...
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: Well, yeah, but this Board is going to
have to make that determination.
MR. MOORE: I understand that. I will be happy to provide that photograph if you like.
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: I am seeing it sitting on a flat area,
that looks like it is the beach.
MR. MOORE: I can show you where it is.
MR. CRAMER: Does the code speak about the top of the bluff, the bottom ofthe bluff?
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: It says the water ward limit ofa bluff
is the landward limit of its water ward natural protective features. (Inaudible)
MR. MOORE: I have a similar picture but this shows the retaining wall and the bluff
coming down...
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: But the steeply sloped part IS
landward of the structure.
MR. MOORE: It is cut back in, the slope continues down on either side of it.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: This is flat.
MR. MOORE: No, this is cut into.... I would encourage you to go out and take a look at
the site. That is probably the best....
PATRICIA MOORE: I am the artist and I was part of the application initially. If you
look at, if you do a diagram where you are doing a diagonal, there is a retaining wall
behind the and existing, this was all existing from the beginning. There is a retaining
wall behind the building. There is about a foot, I would say between the retaining wall
and the beginning of the back wall of the cabana. If you were to take and I think what
Tom is trying to describe is that you are taking from the surveyor's, the toe of the slope
is defined by the survey. It is actually bisecting, if you were to take a straight line across
the building, you would actually have the toe of the slope being bisected by the building.
It, you have to think of it as a diagonal cut into the toe of the slope. That is the way it
was built in the 30's, 40's. That is the way it stays today.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: So the structure itself was entirely seaward of the
retaining wall?
MS. MOORE: Yes. Yes. Thank you. Sorry, I had to put those words together so I
could answer the question properly.
MR. CRAMER: And as the photo shows, the retaining wall is relatively low and it is set
back; the retaining wall is maybe about 2 foot high, drops down and then the structure
comes out level and sits maybe about 4 feet up above the toe of the bluff and on either
side of it the bluff comes down on the sides of it and the toe of the bluff extends out, so
there is a grade underneath the structure itself. The slope coming down from the top of
the retaining wall down because if it was to be made flat, the retaining wall would have
had to have been like 6 feet tall or so but what it does is just the small retaining wall
comes down, the structure comes out flat and on either side of it the slope comes down to
where it meets the beach. And the, as shown on the survey, drawing that line straight
across between the toe of the two slopes on either side is really the toe of the bluff and
the beach sits out in front of that. But getting back to the question that Bill asked me with
regard to whether these uses that occur whether they are impacting on the ordinance or
not. They are not, they don't relate at all to the coastal erosion, they are not going to be
impacting the potential erosion of the site, whether you have electricity in there or not.
The toilet in fact, from what I understand the original toilet was essentially an outhouse.
The new toilet is a self-contained, composting toilet that does not discharge anything into
the system. It is essentially a compo sting toilet and you know, you create dirt at the end
of it. The ordinance does talk about the purpose of it and it gives some five points, A
through E under section 37-4, talks about the establishment and procedures for
minimizing and preventing the damage to structures from coastal erosion hazard and
protecting natural features and other natural resources. Again, the structure has been
existing, there are provisions in the code that allows for the continuation of existing
structures provided that it is not considered a major structure, which in this case is what is
being proposed. Again, talk about regulate, coastal areas subject to coastal flooding and
erosion, land use development activities so as to minimize and prevent damage or
destruction of man-made property, natural protective features or other resources to
protect human life. Again, this is not a residence on the beach, this is a beach house that
is consistent with the uses in the area and it is a historic use, again, allowed under the
code. Regulate new construction or placement of structures in order to place them at a
safe distance, again, this is not a new structure, this is an existing structure. There was
talks about restricting public investment and services and to encourage new permanent
development that is likely to encourage new permanent development in the erosion
hazard area. This is not a public investment or a service for services or facilities. And
the final one is to regulate construction or erosion; protection structures in the coastal
zone subject to serious erosion to assure when the structure of coastal protection
structures, this is not a coastal protection structure this is the existing structure. Coastal
protection structure talks about bulk headings and things like that, which is not the case.
Again, and it also is supported in the findings presented as part of 37-5 and I won't go in
to each one of those.
MR. MOORE: Tom, is it fair to say then, what you just compared, to find it for the
purposes of the law with the conditions imposed, do the conditions imposed advance or
achieve the objectives of the law?
MR. CRAMER: No, the conditions that were imposed do nothing to affect the potential
erosion of the site. The structure is allowed, it was recognized as a use. To remove the
electric and appliances and things like that do nothing to further protect erosion on that
particular site.
MR. MOORE: Thank you.
JUSTICE EVANS: Can you address the stairs on the west side?
MR. MOORE: Pardon?
JUSTICE EVANS: The stairs on the west side (inaudible).
MR. MOORE: The stairs replaced, there is an earlier survey, I am not sure if it was in
the packet that I gave you or not but in the record there is a survey. The deck at one point
stuck out as a spur and the outdoor shower was on the end of that deck. These steps
replaced that small portion of a finger deck. If the Board was of a mind, we could
remove that set of stairs and that was one of the conditions asked of by the Trustees. We
could do that as well. There is two sets of steps that goes down from the decking down to
the beach. Certainly we could remove that westerly one.
JUSTICE EVANS: (Inaudible)
MR. MOORE: If six is the westerly steps then I agree with you, Louisa. Again, the point
made here was that the permit was granted. It acknowledges its location on the bluff, not
on the beach. At issue was the attempt to put regulations, which really address the use of
it, it's a historic use-that was acknowledged. No one has said it didn't exist. Surveys and
aerials show that the footprint was not expanded upon and all that we are asking is that
the permit be affirmed and that these conditions, which relate more to its use or
specifically to its use and not to the structure, be eliminated.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Is it fair to say that the construction was done without a
permit?
MR. MOORE: That is true. One of the things that was presented to the Trustees and not
a lot of attention was given to this is whether or not this fit within unregulated activity.
You could argue maintenance repair, in kind, in place and not, instead the applicant came
in and said I will come before you and seek a permit. And the permit was granted. You
know, the conditions were imposed but the permit was granted. But you are right, that
could have been argued.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: When was your firm called into this? At what stage?
MR. MOORE: We have a whole cadre of wonderful contractors out there who can come
and do all kinds of neat things for you and don't mention that you do or don't need
permits and certainly coastal erosion permits don't even fall within the thinking processes
of a lot of the guys doing work. So Pat was retained, this was after the fact. I will tell
you that there was a concern, neighboring property owners had hired someone to do some
yard maintenance and clearing and this fellow came into this property and began cutting
down trees. And the Trustees were rightly upset, a whole number of cherry trees on the
bluff were chopped down, you know, significantly and Dr. Teperman and his family were
scrambling, they hadn't hired the guy, he (inaudible) doing stuff. I can happily report, I
was there yesterday and there has been a rebirth and a re growth, Jay Cichanowicz did an
entire planting plan on the property but the bluff has active growth, up and down. I do
encourage you if you are interested to see the site, go take a look.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Can you tell us about neighboring cabanas along the
stretch?
MR. MOORE: There are, I don't profess to have been inside of them or to tell you.
There are 7 of them, been there since the 30's, 40's and 50's. They have been rebuilt
over time. I know that at least one of them has sleeping quarters for as many as 8 people
but I can't say which one that was, it is not ours and like I said, we have no request or
desire to make this a dwelling. It is not to be overflow housing for the upper house. It
really is just a cabana for respite from the sun. So the use, I appreciate the concern that
the Trustees reflected on the use but they did acknowledge the historic existence of this
structure. It is not a case where a structure came in. I will make one observation. There
were some comments at the last, at the hearings before that a shed was on the property
and it has been tom down. In fact, there was if you look at the '73 survey in here, the
beach house and a shed. The shed is gone. So if there is any confusion about what might
have been there before, there was an old shed there and that is gone. But the beach house
remains and the footprint remains. It jives with the...
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: When was the retaining wall put up behind the cabana?
MR. MOORE: That was original. This was not a new thing that we put in. That was
there. In fact, it was all covered. It was overgrown completely and a small decking area
from the retaining wall to back of the cabana was there, totally covered in brush and
rubbish.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Was this also fixed up at the same time?
MR. MOORE: The retaining wall was fixed up...
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Excuse me? Was this also fixed up at the time that the
cabana has recently been upgraded?
MR. MOORE: Yeah, that was all done at the same time.
INAUDIBLE
MR. MOORE: It is all part of this application, so
UNIDENTIFIED: The retaining wall from the photograph clearly (inaudible) on the
structure, seaward.
MR. MOORE: Right. It wraps around it. Yes. And that had been there before, it was
going to be a replacement. Whether that fits the replacement in kind, as being okay
without a permit but they came in and asked for a permit anyway and that has not been
denied of them. The real question here was the conditions imposed on the use. I
question, those conditions don't have any reasonable relationship to the objectives of the
code. That is the issue. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
issue?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: On a really high tide, how high is the tide relative to the
foundations or the footings for the floor area of this cabana?
INAUDIBLE
MR. MOORE: I suppose, I mean, it is not a dwelling. We recognize that, it has been
there since the 30's and 40's so whatever (inaudible) have come their way, they have
weathered them and it is not going to be a dwelling space.
NANCY SAW ASTYNOWICZ: Nancy Sawastynowicz, East Marion. Good evening or
good morning. First of all, I would like to know why this is in the morning. I am here to
say, so is there a reason for it at 9:00 in the morning?
COUNCILMAN ROSS: We traditionally have these hearings from appeals from the
Trustees (inaudible).
MS. SAW ASTYNOWICZ: Thank you. Okay, thank you. First of all, I have a copy of
the survey that was submitted by the Teperman's to the Southold Trustees and it is from
1975 and on here it says no toilet. So this is (inaudible) and they keep saying it was
there. That was a survey. The surveyor had nothing to do with favoring them or the
Town. This is an unbiased opinion and it is from a surveyor. So I started walking this
beach 12 years ago and back in the fall of 2004, that little cabana was totally taken down
and it was taken down by, I am not sure of the men, they said that the construction people
moved to Florida, that is why I am shocked when they said they could bring them in and
they could talk because when we asked who built it, they said oh, we don't know, they
left for Florida. Well, it is amazing. They came back and they started working on the
stairs. I have a picture of the little trailer that took away all the debris, their license plate
number and this is for the record because they keep saying these people are in Florida.
Well, they were working on the stairs and I am not sure who they are but I am sure
Southold Town Police can run a test on this license plate and get the name of the people
that built this house. They tore this house down and they took it in this little trailer...
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Excuse me, I just don't follow this. What you are saying
is, the place was removed ....
MS. SAW ASTYNOWICZ: Yes. Totally removed with this little trailer, piece by piece.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: When?
MS. SAW ASTYNOWICZ: In the fall of 2004. This is a picture of the trailer that did it.
The trailer was the guys that did the house. They are saying that they don't know who
the construction company was, they moved to Florida, because the Trustees asked to talk
to those people. . .
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: In other words, the application that is before us and work
that has been done, although it is in the name of the Teperman family, actually that
family doesn't know how that work was commissioned and paid for and all of that? Is
that what you are saying?
MS. SAWASYTNOWICZ: When we were at the Trustee meeting, yes, they said they
don't know who the construction people were, they went to Florida. Because they asked
who built it. Whoever owns this trailer is who built the house because they are the ones
that moved it away, every time they would take a part ofthe building they would put it in
this little trailer and then it would be gone. And then, I would walk this beach and I see
this huge, there is nothing there, they built into the bluff a big cement thing, I don't know
what it was called. Then it was like, the next thing I walked down there, there is this
huge, big house and it is not a cabana, it is bigger than my rental. It has, let's see, it is 15
from the rack line, that is where the high tide deposits the drift wood. It is on the beach.
It is into the bluff, when they are saying it is not on the beach, he hasn't been down there.
They are calling it normal maintenance, it was tom down. I saw it. People have
affidavits in the Trustee hearing that they saw this also. I mean, I have nothing against
these people. I just think everybody should get permits and follow the law. It is our
Town's way to protect our environment. I also saw, there is this man DeLuca, he gave a
report, he walks the beach also. He has high credentials, he has nothing against anybody.
I would like everybody to have a copy of this because he is a specialist in the beach and
he saw this and the day that the Trustees went to examine this they are saying the Mohr's
were down there without permits, they had chainsaws and cutting the trees on the bluff.
That is in the Trustees file. Why would Mr. Mohr's crew go on Teperman's property and
cut down trees? Mohr the landscaper. He does the whole block, he does all those big,
fancy houses there.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: M 0 H R.
MS. SAW ASTYNOWICZ: Yes, thank you. I know it gets confusing. But to say some
guy is going to show up at your property and cut trees, I wish they would come to my
yard, I need help. So anyway, it is 15 feet from the Sound. It is right on the beach. They
took the whole house away. There were three little cedar posts that were left in the
ground, they are still there, if you go there you can see them. They are not even attached
to what is there now. They left three little cedar posts and the old shower nozzle is still
there. So by February of 2005 this new house was up. And I just feel like it is going to
set a really bad precedent, I mean, the other people there have their little houses there;
this was all done before town code was put in place to protect us. We have to start doing
what is right for our Town. I mean, we are being invaded now and I just feel like if
everything was done with a permit, he would have never gotten permission. Let's get
real on this. So anyway, I would like just to say, I saw it happen, it was tom down and I
think that the Town should have them take it away and my friend would like to buy it.
Thank you.
MR. MOORE: A piece of a survey has been photocopied and passed around on which a
notation 'no sanitary or no toilet' that relates to the Health Department's approval for the
sanitation system on the main dwelling. There is no toilet down below. There was a
composting toilet before, there is a composting toilet now. It is a self-contained unit. It
has no impact. The Health Department doesn't care about secondary accessory uses like
cabanas or such structures if you are going to have a compo sting toilet. No one is
suggesting this, in fact, the Trustees in prior times have sought the Health Department's
approval of these (inaudible) mulching systems as main dwelling systems. The Health
Department is not willing to go that far yet because the system can't handle that but the
issue of there being a toilet there, we are talking about a composting toilet and that has
been the case for some time. A very rudimentary one has been replaced by a state of the
art one. I go back to the comment, Dave Cichanowicz has done the stairs. The Trustees
gave the permit to replace the stairs. I haven't seen the photograph, that may be his truck.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Can I have clarification about timing and sequence of this
all. When was this reconstruction done?
MR. MOORE: This was done in '04 at the request of the Teperman's.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, I am sorry, but a lot of this seems to be semantics
to me about, it says here, we fixed the building. It is a brand new building. Let's be
frank about a few things. It is a brand new building and the only thing left of the old
structure is the concept of a footprint. Alright? It is a brand new structure. Now the
issue is whether that structure and the Trustees decision has an effect or is consistent with
Coastal Erosion law. So let's all be honest. It is a brand new building. Now the issue is,
whether the Trustees did the right thing and applied the Coastal Erosion law fairly or
evenly or consistently. Am I right, Kieran?
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: Well, it is for consideration.
JUSTICE EVANS: I think what it comes down to is (inaudible) and what they are
asking is (inaudible).
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: There are a couple of different ways
it breaks down. You have to start with whether it is in a beach or a bluff and this Board
needs to make a decision on that because it is a different standard, that if it is in a beach
you can't do anything and in a bluff, you can do non-major additions. And then you need
to determine whether this is a non-major addition or not. And then you need to determine
whether the Trustees applied the standard correctly and whether, you know, even a non-
major addition requires a permit and requires the Trustees to find that it is appropriate
and it is not going to affect the shoreline in an erosion hazard area. So there is a series of
consideration we need to go through.
MR. MOORE: Well, that of course is a choice if you choose to start as though we were
starting with you as a Board as opposed to an appeal. I take the position, we have
appealed a permit granted and the issue is, as you said Louisa, the conditions imposed on
that permit. I encourage you to go out, if there is more information you would like with
regard to survey lines or information relative to where the toe of the bluff is, if that is a
question you want to work through, I am happy to sit there and take the time and get you
the additional information. You know, adjourn the hearing or leave it open for decision if
that is an important question for you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I hear from the Trustees?
JIM KING: My name is Jim King, Board of Trustees. I think what initiated this whole
thing was a complaint that came in that a new beach house was built. This goes back to
February of 2005 I think it was, when it first came into the office. We received an
application for an existing beach house. Permit for an existing beach house. That is my
understanding of what started this whole thing. Normally we have our field inspections
on Wednesday's. Almost since I have been on the Board, it is Wednesday's we do our
field inspections. The schedule was changed and we went out on Thursday. When we
arrived, the sound of chainsaws running and the (inaudible) bluff came clear. So it kind
of set the tone. A whole new stairway, set of stairs were built, there was a whole new
deck up above, we went down and it just looks like a brand-new house. French doors,
air-conditioning. The retaining wall behind it was brand new. Perhaps it was an old
retaining wall that had been rebuilt, I don't know. Everything there was totally rebuilt. I
kind of peaked underneath, I am not a contractor or anything but I have had some
building experience and I don't even know how you could put those cement columns in
without either punching big wholes in the floor or removing everything to get the
structure in place. In my estimation, it is a brand-new building. The old one was just
completely demolished and a new one put in its place. Maybe the same size, I don't
know. It is hard to tell from these old aerials. It just shows a, you know. So it has been a
difficult thing all along. My feeling is, a cabana on the beach is where you store your
beach chairs, maybe you have a shower, you go change your clothes and take a shower.
That is the use of it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That brings up a good issue for me because one of the terms
of your approval was no water. So how do we reconcile that with your permission to
have an outdoor shower?
MR. KING: I personally would not have a big problem with a shower down there, so
they could rinse themselves off.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am sorry? I am trying to...
MR. KING: Yeah.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You gave them the shower but then we said they can't have
water. How do we reconcile that?
MR. KING: If there is electric, you know, I don't know what the Building Department
requires, if there is electric there, they should somehow be certified and everything was
done without permits. That I could see. There was electric, there was plumbing there;
that all needs some sort of, is there a CO? There is a lot of stuff! don't know, personally.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: You did say you that you wanted the plumbing removed. Not
necessarily no water.
MR. KING: Well, we couldn't go inside, so I don't know ifthere is a sink, stove. I know
there was, there was a roof vent...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: (Inaudible) an issue of what you want them to have.
MR. KING: Yeah. I would like to see it used as a cabana, what a cabana is supposed to
be.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: I have a question. From the point of view of the Trustees,
(inaudible) and perhaps all of the Trustees' opinion, that this was a new structure...
MR. KING: It certainly looked like a brand new structure, yes.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: And one were there was a retaining wall (inaudible) you
weren't sure whether they replaced an old structure (inaudible) I understand that, I just
want you to explain....
MR. KING: Just trying to be nice guys. That is the bottom line. Yeah. Anything else?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment?
BENJA SCHWARTZ: Nobody else. They have to put up with listening to me, Benja
Schwartz. I don't, you know, a couple of thing that we have heard already this morning
didn't make sense. There was a shed that was tom down, well, this, in the earlier
hearings for the Trustees it was established or the applicants showed that the previous
building had been built over the property lines of both neighbors on both sides of this
property and they were saying, well, now we have reduced the size of it to bring it into
compliance. It is right on the property lines now. If there was a shed there, it would have
had to be in the water. I don't know. The story about Chris Mohr changed, too.
Originally they had hired him but just to take away some garbage and he did more than
they wanted. Now, they say they have got nothing to do with him. Anyways, to spare
you the pain of me improvising here, I have written a short statement which I would like
to read for you. During the hearing before the Town Trustees, the applicants lawyer
Patricia Moore argued this application should be processed like any application to restore
a house. According to Patricia Moore, even though no permit was applied for until after
the new house was built, the application fee surcharge for an as-built application had
been paid and therefore this application should be treated the same as an application to
build. Patricia Moore's interpretation of zoning law is a distortion. It is impossible to
handle as-built applications like applications to build. The subject of as-built applications
are already built. Patricia Moore was not really asking for equal treatment but rather for
special treatment. If she gets it, everyone is going to want it. Furthermore, in this case,
the application is based on the false premise that the new building is a restoration of a
pre-existing building. I saw them replacing or putting in that retaining wall and there was
nothing in front of it. They were pouring concrete right into the base of the bluff. At the
hearing, I asked Patricia Moore what part of the building is pre-existing? At first, she
didn't want to answer me because she said she was talking only to the Trustees, but some
of the Trustees asked her to answer and she replied that there were three old cedar pilings
underneath the building. I don't think it is necessary to consider that these three pilings
would be enough to characterize this building as a restoration because although they are
underneath the building, I saw them there, they are not connected to the new building.
They are just left in the sand. The new building is not a restoration. It is a completely
new and a completely illegal building. It is obvious that without any pre-existing
building, an application for the subject beach house cannot be approved. There is no
other comparable building in Southold Town. A house on the beach, this changes the
entire face of the Sound shore of Southold Town and if this Board allows this building to
remain there, we have lost the ability to walk along the Sound shore without feeling like
we are imposing on somebody without being in their front yard, in front of their house.
Take away the spotlights, take away the windows, you have still got an ugly house on the
beach. It is not an ugly house, I take that back. It is a beautiful house, I would like to
have the house and I have room for it on my property. But on this property, there is not
room for that house. There is no place for it. A house on the beach is inconsistent with
the comprehensive town plan of Southold Town. I don't know, this guy is from Miller
Place, I don't think he understands. Coastal erosion doesn't just mean coastal erosion, it
is about coastal. Weare a coastal town. I think we have as much coast line as the south
shore is bigger or something but I love our coast line and rather than saving what is left,
the negative environmental building are abusing what is left. It is ironic that the
applicant, I am glad to see that he is here with us today, is a transplant surgeon. He
knows that in medicine, the transplant must be planned before they remove the old organ.
Similarly, as a lawyer, I know that by law a restoration and not just as a lawyer but also
as a property owner out here, I have taken down a building and replaced it and the new
building, I had to remove it. That is what the Building Department told me to do and I
did it. By law, a restoration must be applied for before an old building is removed. This
attempt at a building transplant is a failure. The new building must be removed. Thank
you. Anybody have any questions?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Anybody else like to address the Board on this issue?
MR. MOORE: Did you all want information on the toe ofthe bluff?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Certainly clarification, I think would help us all.
MR. MOORE: Then I ask to leave the hearing open so I can present that for you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is that fine with the Board? Okay, we will leave the hearing
open. And then we will adjourn until two weeks from today.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: Just so the crowd understands, are we leaving it open for the
limited purpose of receiving information? We are not going to have further testimony
from the public.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are going to close the public portion and we are just
leaving.. .
MR. MOORE: Well, given some of the remarks, I would like, I would save for that point
an opportunity to respond to some of the things that were said here today. I willlimit....I
understand, I will limit only to those remarks that were made today. I won't expand
beyond that.
JUSTICE EVANS: (Inaudible)
MR. MOORE: I can do that. Sure.
JUSTICE EVANS: (Inaudible)
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think what we would like to do is close the public portion of
the hearing. We will leave the hearing open for the receiving of any written comments or
supporting documents from either side of the case to two weeks from today.
MS. MOORE: I am sorry. Weare leaving for Argentina, so he is not realizing...
MR. MOORE: I didn't hear what the date was.
MS. MOORE: ...ifit can be pushed of to an August date, only so we have time when we
come back...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. The regular meeting of August 8th?
MR. MOORE: Thanks.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: What about four weeks from today?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Four weeks from today, that puts at...
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: The middle of July.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: July 25th.
MR. MOORE: That is okay by us.
MS. MOORE: Bill, we are away.
MR. MOORE: No, we are not. We are back. My poor wife is so eager to go to her
home country and see her home city that she thinks....we will be back on August 9th. Uh,
September...July 9th. We are back July 9th. July 25th is fine. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: I wonder, Bill, if you could address this question that has
been raised by a couple of the people who have spoken about, including Jim King, about
where was the structure and the columns, the posts and so forth?
MR. MOORE: Okay.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: If you have anything to say (inaudible)
MR. MOORE: I will get information on that. What do I have to show, no, I can't, I will
go out and get you pictures and whatever information we can get to try and answer that.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: The argument has been made that the structure is not in
the same, my indication is that it is not in the same place that it was.
MR. MOORE: No, I think the Trustees resolved that and did come to the conclusion, the
deck as it got put out was put too big and was cut back. It did cross the line by a little bit
but I can address that. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Motion to close the hearing.

Re: Lewis and Helaine Teperman Violation
122 Aquaview Drive, East Marion
Dear Mr. Krupski:
I write to you as a year-round resident of East Marion who regularly walks the
Long Island Sound shoreline to express my deepest concern over the above-
referenced violation.
1 hope that you will use the full force of your office to secure the complete removal
of this exceedingly inappropriate structure from the fragile shoreline where it was
(to the best of my understanding) constructed without the benefit of any required
permits.
I believe the subject construction violates every tenant of responsible coastal
development policy that has been advanced for the past 25 years, and I am very
concerned that if it is allowed to stand this project will set a new precedent for
other property owners and their attorneys to exploit our coastal resources in the
future.
Should this property owner seek to justify this project as a legitimate reconstruction
of a pre-existing nonconforming use, I would strongly disagree. By my observation
and recollection (having regularly walked along this beach for several years) the
subject construction appears to be a significant expansion of the preexisting cabana
or beach shack that once stood on the subject site.
In fact, even a cursory examination of the current structure with its air conditioning,
French doors, plumbing, outdoor shower, electrical supply and bluff-side retaining
wall, suggests that the recent renovations have made this structure far less
conforming to the current code than it ever was previously.
I am also concerned about the extensive cutting of stabilizing bluff-stabilizing
vegetation that apparently coincided with this project.
.
Comment Letter: Robert S. DeLuca
Teperman Violation -122 Aquaview Drive, East Marion - 3/21/05
Ironically, the property owners may have placed their own extensive new
construction at even greater risk by eliminating the bluff vegetation that currently
aids in stabilizing tons of soil located directly and steeply above the subject
structure.
For the sake of the maintaining the bluff feature and minimizing the potential risks
associated with it clearing, 1 hope that any resolutioA to this violation will also
address the issue of bluff restoration as part of the overall disposition of this case.
In closing I would like to express my appreciation to you and the Board for the
opportunity to express my views on this project. I am extremely hopeful that the
Trustees will take the necessary action to protect and preserve our public beaches
for those who make passive use of them today and for the generations yet to come.
If I can provide you with any additional information or assistance, please feel free
to contact me at your convenience.

Re: Lewis & Helaine Teperman @ East Marion
Coastal Erosion Appeal
SCTM# 1000-21-2-16
Soufhol~ Town Clert
Dear Bill:
As per your request, I have reviewed the documentation that you forwarded to me with regard to
the above referenced appeal ofthe Southold Trustee's decision of the Coastal Erosion Hazard
Area Permit. Below are my comments and my professional opinion with regard to the decision
rendered by the Trustees.
As you are aware, the Town of South old has accepted me as an expert witness in planning and
environmental issues numerous times in the past. In addition, I have been accepted as an expert
witness in local, State, and Federal courts as well. I have been a consultant to the Town of
Southold in the past, preparing planning studies, environmental impact statements and
environmental and planning reviews for various projects and rezonings for the Town of
Southold. I have also provided similar services to private individuals throughout Long Island
and have provided consulting services to numerous municipalities and State agencies.
Furthermore, I was Director of Environmental Protection and Commissioner of Planning,
Environmental and Development in the Town of Brookhaven. In those capacities, I was the
chief executive officer in charge of the implementation of Brookhaven's Coastal Erosion Hazard
Area's (CEHA) program which, like Southold's CEHA, is based on the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) Part 505, the Coastal Erosion
Management Regulations. Also while at Brookhaven, I was in charge of developing
Brookhaven's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP). Because of Brookhaven's vast
size and the differences in the various coastlines found within the Town, we chose to implement
the L WRP program by developing a number of detailed L WRPs to address the various sub-
regions in Brookhaven. Furthermore, I have provided consulting services to numerous private
clients and municipalities throughout Long Island dealing with the various local L WRPs. As
such, I am thoroughly familiar with the New York State Department of State's (NYSDOS)
program and have been a speaker at a number of their workshops on the program. The
NYSDOS' program is the basis of South old's program and I have worked with and reviewed the
Town's LWRP numerous times in the past. For your use and information, I am providing a copy
of my curriculum vitae (attached).
I am also very familiar with this property and case. I have carried out site inspections and
appeared as an expert witness for the applicant before the Trustees.
On December 21, 2005, the Southold Town Trustees passed a resolution approving a "previously
existing storage shed with no amenities except the outdoor shower and with two wood decks
seaward of the Coastal Erosion area" on the Teperman's property. The approval also placed
numerous conditions on the "permit" that result in a situation that is not what the Tepermans
requested, nor what existed on the property in the past. While an "approval," it in effect denies
the application for the Tepermans. The following are my specific comments with regard to the
decision.
As part of the Trustees' resolution there are nine (9) "whereas" that put forth the facts that the
Trustees considered in rendering the decision. The first four (4) "whereas" refer to the fact that
the Trustees considered all the testimony, documentation, held public hearings, visited the site
and referred the application to the Town of South old Conservation Advisory Council for
comments.
"Whereas" #5 and #9 both refer to the Town of South old's LWRP and that the application is
inconsistent with the L WRP in general and specifically with the policy standards 4.1A, 4.1 B,
4.2A, 4.28. 4.2C, 5.1, 5.3, 6.1 and 8.3 as found within the LWRP. This is not the case; the
action is consistent with the L WRP. As part of my original review of this action I prepared a
review of the Town of Southold's staff recommendation letter on their L WRP consistency
review of the project. A copy of my report letter, addressed to Patricia Moore, Esq., dated
November 24, 2005, and presented to the Trustees at their public hearing, is attached herewith.
My November letter addresses in detail how the application conforms to the L WRP. For the
most part, the staff referenced policies of the L WRP and said the action was inconsistent with
these policies. No analysis was provided within the staff's review. In fact, as discussed in my
November 24th letter, many of the policies referenced by the staff are not even relevant to the
proposed action. While I will not reiterate all the comments in my letter, it is sufficient to say
that the staff was apparently "grasping at straws" to try to show that the project was inconsistent
with the LWRP, but was not able to document it. While the Trustees apparently accepted the
unsupported staff recommendations, it is my opinion that the Town Board must give full
consideration to the lack of any supporting evidence that the action is inconsistent with the
L WRP. As summarized in my letter, after detailed review it is my professional and expert
opinion that the action is consistent with the Town of South old's LWRP.
"Whereas" #6 states: "WHEREAS, there has been shown to be a historical use of a structure
and the proposed decks in the proposed location." As part of the record, I have reviewed several
sworn affidavits from individuals who testified as to the conditions inside the existing ~ach
house and the period from which these conditions existed. I have also reviewed historical aerial
photographs that show the structure existed prior to 1976. However, "whereas" number 8 states
that "the structure has undergone extensive rebuilding without prior approvals, to wit, utilities,
plumbing, new foundation for the structure, new siding, new windows, new deck; said
reconstruction not deemed to be ordinary cosmetic repair." It is unclear what the teI1l1
"ordinary cosmetic repair" refers to since this term is not found in either the Town's Wetland or
CEHA ordinances. The Town's CEHA does define NORMAL MAINTENANCE un<ler g37-6
as "Periodic replacement or repair of same-kind structural elements or protective coatings
which do not change the size, design or function of a fUnctioning structure. A 'Jimctioning
structure" is one which is fUlly peiforming as originally designed at the time that normal
maintenance is scheduled to begin. "Normal maintenance" of a structure does not require a
coastal erosion management permit." As such, and based on the testimony and the Trustees'
own Whereas #6, the activity that took place could be considered normal maintenance under the
CEHA ordinance. It should be noted that the testimony that conflicted with the affidavits
submitted was based on people's apparent opinions of what existed within the structure from
walking by the structure, not on actual knowledge of what really was inside the structure.
The action is located on the bluff, as defined in g37-6. The relevant portions of the Town Code dealing
with "activities specifically allowed" on the bluff are as follows:
S37-17B(3)
New construction, modification or restoration of walkways or stairways
done in accordance with conditions of a coastal erosion management
permit
S37-17B(4)
Non-major additions to existing structures are allowed on bluffi,
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit
(Note: Major additions are defined under ~37-6 as additions that are 25% or more of
the ground area coverage of existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no
additions it is less than a 25% expansion and therefore would be considered a non-
major addition)
Therefore, since by the Trustee's own admission in Whereas #6, the structure and use existed on the site
and since there is NO expansion, the proposed project would be a permissible activity.
Whereas #7 states that "no residences are allowed in the Coastal Erosion areas." There is no such
restriction in the Town's CEHA ordinance. A search of Chapter 37 does not find any references to
"residences", "homes", "houses" or similar terms. The Town Code, just as NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505
(the State law that the Town's is based on), only refers to "structures." The type of the natural
protective feature the structure is found in within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area determines how
"structures" are regulated under Chapter 37, whether the structure is a residence or not (~ee discussion
on g37-17B(4) above),. Therefore, residences CAN be located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area,
and even additions added, if they existed prior. However, the proposed action is NOT for a residence;
the action is an existing beach house or cabana. No habitation is proposed, nor has it boen used for such
in the past.
As noted above, the Trustees approved a permit for the action and placed conditions Oil the action that
remove what has been documented in the past to have existed on the site. Among these conditions is the
removal of:
. All plumbing, including the portable toilet.
. Plumbing vent.
. All utilities, appliances and electric.
. Air conditioner.
. Glass windows and doors on the north side of the structure.
The CEHA ordinance was adopted by the Town to prevent erosion within Southold. These
conditions of the permit will not have any effect on existing or future erosion on the site. These
improvements have been documented to have existed on the site prior to both the Town's
Wetland and CEHA ordinances. The purposes and findings of the CEHA ordinance are spelled
out in 937-4 and 937-5, respectively. Nowhere in these sections, or for that matter anywhere in
937, does the Town have the ability to remove existing structures. In fact, provisions are
contained throughout the Code to allow for the continuation of existing structures, provided there
are no major additions. Since the action calls for NO ADDITIONS, and only "normal
maintenance" (as defined under 937-6) the proposed is consistent with the CEHA ordinance.
It also should be noted that the permit is in conflict with itself. The approval states that there
shall be "no amenities except an outdoor shower", but as one of the conditions, all plumbing
must be removed. How a shower can be allowed with all plumbing required to be removed is
unclear.
In my opinion, the Trustees recognized that the structure(s) and use were preexisting. However,
because of some opposition, they sought to punish the applicants for not initially obtaining
permits for permittable work that took place on the site and in the approval they have attempted
to remove rights and uses enjoyed on the property.
If you have any questions or comments, please give me a call to discuss.
Very truly yours,
Thomas W. Cramer, ASLA

RE: Lewis & Helaine Teperman @ East Marion
L WRP Consistency Review
SCTM# 1000-21-2-16
Dear Ms. Moore:
As per your request, I have reviewed the letter from Mr. Mark Terry, Senior Environmental
Planner, dated August 23, 2005, concerning the above. The proposed action is for the
repair/reconstruction of an existing beach house (12.5' x 24.8') with associated decks, walks and
stairs. According to affidavits, the structures were built in the 1950's. The beach house has
plumbing, electricity and a bathroom. The site is located on a bluff in the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area adjacent to Long Island Sound. A wetlands permit and a Coastal Erosion permit
has been requested from the Town of Southold Trustees for the as-built structures. Photographs
and a portion ofthe survey of the site and structures are provided at the end of this document for
illustration.
Mr. Terry's letter was prepared to provide a review of the actions consistent with the Town
Code's Chapter 95 and the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP). The Town of
Southold LWRP, and the 13 policies and standards within it, are a refinement of the New York
State Department of State's (NYSDOS) 44 Coastal Policies. I am thoroughly familiar with the
NYSDOS' program and the rigorous process the towns go through to assure consistency with the
State's plan. I have both instructed and been a guest speaker at a number of workshops and
symposiums for the NYSDOS on the L WRP program. In addition, I was Director of
Environmental Protection and Commissioner of Planning, Environmental and DeveloPl11ent in
the Town of Brookhaven. In those capacities I was the chief executive officer in charge ofthe
implementation of Brookhaven's LWRP. Because of Brookhaven's vast size and the <tifferences
in the various coastlines found within the Town, we chose to implement the LWRP program by
developing a number of detailed L WRPs to address the various sub-regions in Brookhaven.
Furthermore, I have provided consulting services to numerous private clients and municipalities
throughout Long Island, many dealing with the various local L WRPs. As stated, I am thoroughly
familiar with the NYSDOS' program, which is the basis of South old's program, and have
worked with and reviewed the Town's LWRP numerous times in the past. For your use and
information, I am providing a copy of my curriculum vitae (attached).
The Town's document was developed to provide an "appropriate balance between ecanomic
development and the preservation that will permit beneficial (sic) use of and prevent adverse
effects on Southo/d's coastal resources". As stated above, the Town has cul1ed the 44 NYSDOS
policies down to 13 that are relevant to Southold. These 13 are categorized into four groups in
the L WRP. The categories are useful in determining consistency to the L WRP depending on the
type of project and its location and setting within the coastal zone. The categories are as
follows:
. Developed Coast Policies
. Natural Coast Policies
. Public Coast Policies
. Working Coast Policies
Each of the policies within the categories is provided with a narrative as to its relevance to
Southold. They are then followed by a set of policy standards to aid and provide guidance in
development within the coastal zone. It is these standards and how the project is proposed
according to them that would determine consistency to the Town's LWRP.
Mr. Terry states in the second paragraph of his letter that he reviewed the L WRP Consistency
Assessment Form as well as other information and that it is his recommendation that "the
proposed action is generally inconsistent with the ... policies standards and is therefore
inconsistent with the LWRP. " He then lists four (4) of the thirteen (13) policies in which the
proposed action is supposedly inconsistent with the various standards. However, no supporting
information is provided to substantiate how the project does not conform to the policies or their
corresponding standards. In fact, in reviewing the proposed project and comparing it to the
LWRP policies and standards, the project, in my opinion, is consistent with the intent of the
LWRP.
The following is a review of the various LWRP policies and standards as listed in the August 23,
2005 letter. The policies and standards are shown in bold italics; each is then followed by a
discussion on how Lewis & Helaine Teperman's proposed project relates to them.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4 Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion.
Poticy Standards
4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structuresfromflood;ng and erosion hazards.
The following management measures to minimize tosses of human tife and structures from flooding and erosion hazards
are suggested:
A. Minimize potential toss and dIlmage by locating development and structures away from flooding q/lp erosion hazards.
1. Avoid development other than water-dependent uses in coastal hazard areas. Locate new dev.pment which is not
water-dependent as far away from coastal hazard areas as practicaL
a. No development is permitted in naturat protective feature areas, except as specifically atlllwed under the
relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8.
b. Avoid hazards by siting structures to maximize the distance from Coastal Erosion Hazar4 Areas.
The repair/reconstruction of the existing beach house, walks and stairs is allowod under the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) 6 NYCRlt 505.8. The
following are the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8 to the project:
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(4) - The normal maintenance of strnctures may be undertaken without
a coastal erosion management permit.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(5) - The restoration of existing strnctures that are damaged or
destroyed by events not related to coastal flooding and erosion
may be undertaken without a coastal erosion management permit.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(6) - Nonmajor additions to existing strnctures may be allowed on bluffi
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit.
(Note: Major additions are defined under 6 NYCRR 505.2(u) as additions that
are 25% or more of the existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no
additions it is less than a 25% expansion, and therefore would be considered a
nonmajor addition).
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(7) - A coastal erosion management permit is requiredfor new
constrnction, modification or restoration of erosion protection
strnctures, walkways or stairways. Elevated walkways or stairways
constrncted solely for pedestrian use and built by or for an
individual property owner for the limited purpose of providing
noncommercial access to the beach are exceptedfrom this permit
requirement.
As shown above, the project is allowable under the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8. In fact,
portions of the project would be exempt and may be undertaken without the need for a coastal
erosion management permit.
It is important to note that this Town L WRP policy specifically refers to the definitions of the
NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505.8, not the Town's own Chapter 37 (Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas),
which is Southold's implementation of6 NYCRR 505. The relevant portions of the Town Code,
dealing with construction on the bluff, are as follows:
~37-17B(3)
New constrnction, modification or restoration of walkways or
stairways done in accordance with conditions of a coastal
erosion management permit
~37-17B(4)
Non-major additions to existing strnctures are aI/owed on bluffi,
pursuant to a coastal erosion management perltlU
(Note: Major additions are defined under ~37-6 as additions that are 25% or
more ofthe existing structure(s). Since the project calls fPl' no additions it is
less than a 25% expansion and therefore would be considered a nonmajor
addition)
Even under the Town's more restrictive implementation of the NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505, the
proposed project would be a permissible activity. However, as discussed abov6, the Town's
LWRP policy refers to the less restrictive 6 NYCRR 505.8. The proposed action holds itself to
the more stringent requirements of Chapter 37.
The beach house has been in existence since the 1950's. The proposed activities will not relocate
or expand any existing structure(s). The entire portion of the site that includes the activity is
located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area as presently defined by the NYSDEC. The
structure has been located as far as possible from the shoreline, avoiding potential hazards as
much as possible. It is impossible to locate this non-major addition out of the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area. The proposed action meets this standard by avoiding the hazards of erosion as
much as possible (Standard 4. 1.A. 1.2) and fully complies with the all other aspects of the
standard.
2. Avoid reconstruction of structures, other than structures that are part of a water-dependent use, damaged by 50%
or more of their value in coastal hazard areas.
This standard addresses reconstruction of structures in coastal hazard areas that are damaged by
50% or more of their value. The existing structures are not damaged; the action is for a non-
major addition and repair/reconstruction of existing structures. Therefore, the standard does not
apply to the project.
3. Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and erosion hazards as practicaL
Maintaining existing development and structures in hazard areas may be warranted for:
a. structures which fUnctionally require a location on the coast or in coastal waters.
b. water-dependent uses which cannot avoid exposure to hazards.
c. sites in areas with extensive public investment, public infrastructure, or major public facilities.
d sites where relocation of an existing structure is not practical.
As stated in the response to Standard 4.1.Al, the proposed project has been located as far as
possible from erosion hazards and does not change or expand existing structural conditions. As
stated in the above policy standard, "existing development and structures in hazard areas may be
warranted" if certain conditions, as listed, exist. Standard 4.I.A.1.3 condition letters "a", "b",
and "c" are not relevant to the project. The proposed project conforms to condition "d".
Therefore, the action conforms to this policy standard.
B. Use vegetative non-structural measures to manage flooding and erosion hazards.
1. Use vegetative non-structurat measures which have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion,
based on shoreline characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition.
2. Use vegetative measures to increase protective capabilities of natural protective features. Discourage clearing of
existing, particularly indigenous vegetation during siting, design, construction and regrading phases of any
development project
3. Discourage alteration afexisting natural drainage contours and swales and encourage enhancement of those
natural drainage features where they exist
While the use of vegetative non-structural measures is desirable, it is not practical nor does it
have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion based on shoreliPe
characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition in this purticular case.
The existing structures are located on the bluff, immediately adjacent to its toe. In front ofthe
toe of the bluff is a high, narrow beach consisting of large cobbles. These cobbles provide no
medium for plant growth. Any plant material installed on the beach, in front of the structures,
would not survive. Therefore, policy standard 4.1.B.I would not be relevant to this project.
As discussed previously, the existing structures have been located on the bluff8iJ1.ce the 1950's.
The bluff itself is heavily vegetated with indigenous species. In addition, since Ute structures
have been located in their present position for a considerable time, the existing vegetation has
surrounded the structures and stabilized itself around them. "The proposed action will not disturb
the existing vegetation on the bluff. It is the intent to replace/reconstruct the structures in-place.
In addition, the existing natural drainage patterns will not be disturbed. Therefore, the project
conforms to policy standards 4.I.B.2 & 3.
It should be noted that the existing trees on the bluff were apparently trimmed in the past (prior to
the 2005 growing season). The trimming apparently topped the larger trees, leaving a substantial
portion ofthem in place. Significant new growth on the trimmed trees show that they have
survived and continue to provide beneficial protection to the bluff. It is possible that the removal
of some of the old canopy allowed more light to penetrate to the soil, allowing additional smaller
plant species to colonize the bluff, thereby increasing the beneficial aspects of bluff stabilization
and erosion protection. Photographs are provided at the end of this document that illustrate the
existing vegetated bluff.
4.2 Protect and restore natural protective features.
Natural protective geologic features provide valuable protection and should be protected, restored and enhanced.
Destruction or degradation of these features should be discouraged or prohibited.
A. No development is permitted in natural protective feature areas, except as specifically allowed under the relevant
portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8.
As stated previously, the proposed activity is a non-major addition to an existing structure(s) as
defined under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) 6
NYCRR 505.8, Coastal Erosion Management Regulations, and the Town of South old's Chapter
37, Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas. Therefore, the proposed activity is not considered new
development and is allowed in the natural protective features found on the site. Also, as noted
above, 6 NYCRR 505.8 is less restrictive than Chapter 37; the Town's LWRP policy refers to the
less restrictive 6 NYCRR 505.8. The proposed action holds itself to the more stringent
requirements of Chapter 37. Therefore, the proposed project conforms to this policy standard
B. Maximize the protective capabilities of natural protective features by:
1. avoiding alteration or interference with shorelines in a natural condition
2. enhancing existing natural protective features
3. restoring the condition of impaired natural protective features wherever practical
4. using practical vegetative approaches to stabilize natural shoreline features
5. managing activities to limit damage to, or reverse damage which has diminished, the protec/tl'e capacities of the
natural shoreline
6. providing relevant signage or other educational or interpretive material to increase public aWflreness afthe
importance of natural protective features
As stated throughout the above discussion, the proposed activity will take place within the area of
the existing structures; there will be no additional disturbance of the site. There will be no
disturbance of the existing natural protective features existing on the site. The bluff is stabilized
with existing vegetation and is not presently impaired. Therefore, there is no need to enhance or
restore the natural protective features. As discussed above, it is not practical to iflstall vegetation
on the beach because of existing conditions. Condition "6" is not relevant to a single-family
home. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with these policy standards.
C. Minimize interference with natural coastal processes by:
1. providing for natural supply and movement of unconsolidated materials and for water and It'IPd transport
All of the activities will be above the beach and there is no dune in the area. The beach consists
of large cobbles that cannot be moved by wind. The activities are set on the bluff face, back from
the beach, the area where water transport of the cobbles would take place. Given the elevation of
the beach and the existing stability of the bluff, it does not appear that waves capable of moving
the large cobbles frequently reach the toe of the bluff. Two existing stairways extend from the
structures to the beach area. Upon examination of their construction and considering the existing
conditions around them and the nature of the beach (elevation, composition, etc.), it is apparent
that the stairways have had no or very little impact on the transport of material on the beach. As
such, they provide minimal, if any, interference with the natural coastal processes. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with this policy standard.
Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold.
Policy Standards
5.1 Prohibit direct or indirect discharges that would cause or contribute to contravention of water quality standards.
B. Prevent point source discharges into Southold's coastal waters and manage or avoid land and water uses that
would:
2. cause or contribute to contravention of water quality classification and use standards, or
3. adversely aflect receiving water quality, or
As part of the activity, the existing sanitary system was upgraded to a self-contained compo sting
toilet. Since there is no discharge of waste, direct or indirect, the action will not cause or
contribute to the contravention of, or in any way adversely effect, water quality. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with this policy's standards.
5.3 Protect and enhance quality of coastal waters.
A. Protect water quality based on an evaluation of physical factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, nutrients,
odar, color and turbidity), health factors (pathogens, chemical contaminants, and toxicity), and aesthetic factors
(oils,floatables, refuse, and suspended solids).
C Protect water quality of coastal waters from adverse impacts associated with excavation, fill, dredging, and disposal
of dredged materiaL
See response to Policy Standard 5.2.1 above. There was no excavation, fill, dredging or disposal
of dredged material into the coastal waters during construction. There was also no threat of
erosion on the site as none of the existing vegetation was removed or disturbed when the structures
were replaced in-kind. Therefore, the proposed project complies with the policy standard.
Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of South old ecosystlm.
Policy Standards
6.1 Protect and restore ecological quality throughout the Town of South old.
A. A void adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay ecosystems that would rerl'lt from
impairment of ecological quality as indicated by:
2. Degradation of ecological components
Degradation occurs as an adverse change in ecological quality, either ds a direct loss origill/lling within the
resource area or as an indirect loss originating from nearby activities. Degradation usually tKcurs over a more
extended period of time than physical loss and may be indicated by increased siltation, c/Jallll"s in community
composition, or evidence of pollution.
3. Functional loss of ecological components
Functional loss can be indicated by a decrease in abundance of fish or wildlife, often resulthlg from a
behavioral or physiological avoidance response. Behavioral avoidance can be due to disruPllfe uses that do not
.
necessarily result in physical changes, but may be related to introduction of recreational activities or predators.
Timing of activities can often be critical in determining whether a functional loss is likely to occur. Functional .
loss can also be manifested in physical terms, such as changes in hydrology.
In the narrative following this policy in the LWRP, the importance of the ecological natural
resources is discussed. It is stated that:
"Certain natural resources that are important for their contribution to the quality and
biological diversity of the Town's ecosystem have been specifically identified by the
State of New York for protection. These natural resources include regulated tidal and
freshwater wetlands; designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats; and rare,
threatened, and endangered species. In addition to specifically identified discrete natural
resources, the quality of the Town's ecosystem also depends on more common, broadly
distributed natural resources, such as the extent of forest cover, the population of over-
wintering songbirds, or benthic communities. These more common natural resources
collectively affect the quality and biological diversity of the Sound ecosystem.
"The role of the Southold Town Board of Trustees in the protection and management of
the Town's ecosystem, particularly as it relates to surface waters, is recognized by the
Town. The policy standards noted below recognize that federal and state legislation
governing the protection, management and restoration ofthe environment are not always
sufficiently restrictive to protect local resources. Where the Town and its Board of
Trustees have implemented protective measures that exceed that of federal and state
regulations, local regulations and standards should be complied with."
The applicant will comply with the various federal and state regulations, as well as those of the
Town of South old.
Furthermore, degradation of the ecological components ofthe Town of South old will not occur
as a result of the proposed action. In fact, there will be no loss of existing vegetation or
ecological components on site as a result of the project. .
With regard to the functional loss of ecological components, this too is not an issue as the project
is a replacement in-place. The proposed activity is consistant with the existing ecological
character established in the area, that of single-family homes with beach house. (see photos at
end of report). Wildlife that currently utilizes the site is no doubt species that II"' tolerant of, and
even prefer, the activities of man. Secretive and human intolerant species, suclllls forest interior
birds, would not utilize the site because of its small size and surrounding land qse(s).
The proposed project is considered consistent with these policy standards.
Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation in Town of South old from solid waste Rnd hazardous
substances and wastes.
Policy Standards
8.3 Protect the environmentfrom tfegradatian due to toxic pollutants and substances hazardous to th, ,nvironment and
public health.
A. Prevent release of toxic pollutants or substances hazardous to the environment that would have a deleterious effect
on fish and wildlife resources.
In the LWRP, there is a narrative following this policy standard that is provided to clarify its
intent. Unfortunately, Mr. Terry did not include it in his letter of August 23, 2005. The
following is the clarification and the intent of the policy standard:
"The Town's Site Plan application process will determine whether proposed land use
activities will involve toxic substances. Protective measures to prevent their release to the
environment, particularly fish and wildlife resources, will be determined during the
environmental review.
Further, the dredging of toxic material from underwater lands and the deposition of such
material shall be conducted in the most mitigative manner possible so as not to endanger
fish and wildlife resources, in either the short or long term."
The proposed project is for repair/reconstruction of a beach house; therefore, a site plan
application is not required. No dredging of any type is proposed. A home does not use either
toxic pollutants or hazardous substances other than household chemicals, which this policy
standard is clearly not intended to address. Therefore, this policy standard is irrelevant to the .
proposed project.
B. Prevent environmental degradntion due to persistent toxic pollutants by:
1. limiting discharge of bio-accumulative substances,
2. avoiding re-suspension of toxic pollutants and hazardnus substances and wastes, and avoiding reentry ofbio-
accumulative substances into the food chain from existing sources.
Again, a beach house does not use toxic pollutants and hazardous substances. The project will
use ordinary household chemicals (if any - since it is not a residence), which this policy standard
is clearly not intended to address. Neither suspension, no less re-suspension, of toxic pollutants
and hazardous substances nor the discharge ofbio-accumulative substances will occur as a result
of the project. Therefore, this policy standard is irrelevant to the proposed project.
In summary, it is my professional and expert opinion that the proposed action is consistent with the
Town of South old's LWRP.
The above review is based, in part, on the survey prepared for Lewis & Helaine Teperman by Stanley J.
Isaksan, Jr., L.S., revision dated May 16, 2005, and my familiarity with the site, the proposed project
and the surrounding area.
If I can provide any additional information or clarification of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Very truly yours,
.-

Re: Lewis and Helaine Teperman Violation
122 Aquaview Drive, East Marion
Dear Mr. Krupski:
I write to you as a year-round resident of East Marion who regularly walks the
Long Island Sound shoreline to express my deepest concern over the above-
referenced violation.
I hope that you will use the full force of your office to secure the complete removal
of this exceedingly inappropriate structure from the fragile shoreline where it was
(to the best of my understanding) constructed without the benefit of any required
permits.
I believe the subject construction violates every tenant of responsible coastal
development policy that has been advanced for the past 25 years, and I am very
concerned that if it is allowed to stand this project will set a new precedent for
other property owners and their attorneys to exploit our coastal resources in the
future.
Should this property owner seek to justify this project as a legitimate reconstruction
of a pre-existing nonconforming use, I would strongly disagree. By my observation
and recollection (having regularly walked along this beach for several years) the
subject construction appears to be a significant expansion of the preexisting cabana
or beach shack that once stood on the subject site.
In fact, even a cursory examination of the current structure with its air conditioning,
French doors, plumbing, outdoor shower, electrical supply and bluff-side retaining
wall, suggests that the recent renovations have made this structure far less
conforming to the current code than it ever was previously.
I am also concerned about the extensive cutting of stabilizing bluff-stabilizing
vegetation that apparently coincided with this project.
Comment Letter: Robert S. DeLuca
Teperman Violation -122 Aquaview Drive, East Marion - 3/21/05
Ironically, the property owners may have placed their own extensive new
construction at even greater risk by eliminating the bluff vegetation that currently
aids in stabilizing tons of soil located directly and steeply above the subject
structure.
For the sake of the maintaining the bluff feature and minimizing the potential risks
associated with it clearing, I hope that any resolution to this violation will also
address the issue of bluff restoration as part of the overall disposition of this case.
In closing I would like to express my appreciation to you and the Board for the
opportunity to express my views on this project. I am extremely hopeful that the
Trustees will take the necessary action to protect and preserve our public beaches
for those who make passive use of them today and for the generations yet to come.
If I can provide you with any additional information or assistance, please feel free
to contact me at your convenience.

SOUTHOLD CODE
~ 37-4
~ 37-4
COASTAL EROSION HAZARD AREAS
~ 37-5
~ 37-2. Title.
This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Town of
Southold Coastal Erosion Hazard Area Law."
E. Regulate the construction of erosion protection structures in
coastal areas subject to serious erosion to assure that when the
construction of erosion protection structures is justified, their
construction and operation will minimize or prevent damage
or destruction to man-made property, private and public
property, natural protective features and other natural
resources.
~ 37-3. When effective.
This chapter shall take effect twenty (20) calendar days from the
date of this chapter's adoption and filing pursuant to ~ 27 of the
Municipal Home Rule Law or the date of filing the official maps,
whichever is later.
~ 37-5. Findings.
The Town of Southold finds that the coastal erosion hazard area:
A. Is prone to erosion from the action of the Long Island Sound,
Gardiners Bay, Long Beach Bay and Orient Harbor. Such
erosion may be caused by the action of waves, currents
running along the shore and wind-driven water and ice. Such
areas are also prone to erosion caused by the wind, runoff of
rainwater along the surface of the land or groundwater
seepage, as well as by human activities such as construction,
navigation and certain forms of recreation.
B. Experiences coastal erosion which causes extensive damage to
publicly and privately owned property and to natural
resources, as well as endangers human lives. When this occurs,
individuals and private businesses suffer siguificant economic
losses, as do the town and the state, either directly through
property damage or indirectly through loss of economic
return. Large public expenditures may also be necessitated for
the removal of debris and damaged structures and replace-
ment of essential public facilities and services.
C. Experiences erosion-related problems that are often contribut-
ed to by building without considering the potential for damage
to property, by undertaking activities which destroy natural
protective features such as dunes or vegetation, by building
structures intended for erosion prevention which may
exacerbate erosion conditions on adjacent or nearby property
and by water action produced by wakes from boats.
D. Is the subject of programs which foster erosion protection
structures, either with private or public funds, which are
costly, often only partially effective over time and may even be
~ 37-4. Purpose.
The Town of Southold hereby assumes the responsibility and
authority to .implement and administer a Coastal Erosion Manage-
ment Program within its jurisdiction pursuant to Article 34 of the
New York State Environmental Conservation Law. In addition, it is
the purpose of this chapter to:
A. Establish standards and procedures for minimizing and
preventing damage to structures from coastal flooding and
erosion and to protect natural protective features and other
natural resources.
B. Regulate, in coastal areas subject to coastal flooding and
erosion, land use and development activities so as to minimize
or prevent damage or destruction to man-made property,
natural protective features and other natural resources and to
protect human life.
C. Regulate new construction or placement of structures in order
to place them a safe distance from areas of active erosion and
the impact of coastal storms to ensure that these structures are
not prematurely destroyed or damaged due to improper siting,
as well as to prevent damage to natural protective features and
other natural resources.
D. Restrict public investment in services, facilities or activities
which are likely to encourage new permanent development in
erosion hazard areas.

2. That I am very familiar with the Teperman residence and the existing conditions
before and after repairs to the existing beach structures.
3. The structure on the beach appears to have been built in the 1950's and contained
plumbing with an old compost toilet, electric, shower, kitchen, and a living area.
The Teperman's replaced the old toilet with a high tech. self contained toilet. The
building improves the appearance and value of all our properties.
4. The prior owners loaned out the house to friends in the summer and this building
was used by them for bar-b-ques and parties. The Teperman family have fixed up
the building and cleaned up the property. The family is quiet and considerate of
their neighbors.
5. The existing beach strUcture was not enlarged in any way, in fact the decking was
cut back from its original size.
6. The beach in front of my property and the Teperman's property is a private beach
with lirilited access. Many of the homes along this beach have beach structures
from the 1930's and we value the continued use and enjoyment of our property.
I on behalf of myself and my husband, Albert Palumbo, support the application by
the Tepennan Family and support tbe Trustees granting of the permits. . . /7

RE: Lcwis & Hclaine Teperman @ East Marion
L WRP Consistency Review
SCTM# 1000-21-2-16
. Dear Ms. Moore:
As per your request, I have reviewed the letter from Mr. Mark Terry, Senior Environmental
Planner, dated August 23, 2005, concerning the above. The proposed action is for the
repair/reconstruction of an existing beach house (12.5' x 24.8') with associated decks, walks and
stairs. According to affidavits, the structures were built in the 1950's. The beach house has
plumbing, electricity and a bathroom. The site is located on a bluff in the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area adjacent to Long Island Sound. A wetlands permit and a Coastal Erosion permit
has been requested from the Town of Southold Trustees for the as-built structures. Photographs
and a portion ofthe survey of the site and structures are provided at the end of this document for
illustration.
Mr. Terry's letter was prepared to provide a review of the actions consistent with the Town
Code's Chapter 95 and the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP). The Town of
Southold LWRP, and the 13 policies and standards within it, are a refinement of the New York
State Department of State's (NYSDOS) 44 Coastal Policies. I am thoroughly familiar with the
NYSDOS' program and the rigorous process the towns go through to assure consistency with the
State's plan. I have both instructed and been a guest speaker at a number of workshops and
symposiums for the NYSDOS on the L WRP program. In addition, I was Director of
Environmental Protection and Commissioner of Planning, Environmental and Development in
the Town of Brookhaven. In those capacities I was the chief executive officer in charge of the
implementation of Brookhaven's LWRP. Because of Brookhaven's vast size and the differences
in the various coastlines found within the Town, we chose to implement the L WRP program by
developing a number of detailed L WRPs to address the various sub-regions in Brookhaven.
Furthermore, I have provided consulting services to numerous private clients and municipalities
throughout Long Island, many dealing with the various local L WRPs. As stated, I am thoroughly
familiar with the NYSDOS' program, which is the basis of South old's program, and have
worked with and reviewed the Town's LWRP numerous times in the past. For your use and
information, I am providing a copy of my curriculum vitae (attached).
The Town's document was developed to provide an "appropriate balance between economic
development and the preservation that will permit beneficial (sic) use of and prevent adverse
effects on Southold's coastal resources". As stated above, the Town has culled the 44 NYSDOS
R-l
II
~
policies down to 13 that are relevant to Southold. These 13 are categorized into four groups in
the LWRP. The categories are useful in determining consistency to the LWRP depending on the
type of project and its location and setting within the coastal zone. The categories are as
fo llows:
. Developed Coast Policies
. Natural Coast Policies
. Public Coast Policies
. Working Coast Policies
Each of the policies within the categories is provided with a narrative as to its relevance to
Southold. They are then followed by a set of policy standards to aid and provide guidance in
development within the coastal zone. It is these standards and how the project is proposed
according to them that would determine consistency to the Town's LWRP.
Mr. Terry states in the second paragraph of his letter that he reviewed the L WRP Consistency
Assessment Form as well as other information and that it is his recommendation that "the
proposed action is generally inconsistent with the ... policies standards and is therefore
inconsistent with the LWRP." He then lists four (4) of the thirteen (13) policies in which the
proposed action is supposedly inconsistent with the various standards. However, no supporting
information is provided to substantiate how the project does not conform to the policies or their
corresponding standards. In fact, in reviewing the proposed project and comparing it to the
L WRP policies and standards, the project, in my opinion, is consistent with the intent of the
LWRP.
The following is a review of the various L WRP policies and standards as listed in the August 23,
2005 letter. The policies and standards are shown in bold italics; each is then followed by a
discussion on how Lewis & Helaine Teperman's proposed project relates to them.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4 Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion.
Po/icy Standards
4. Z Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazarcb'.
The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards
are suggested:
A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from flooding and erosion hazards.
1. Avoid development otlrer than water-dependent uses in coastal hazard areas. Locate new development which is not
water-dependent as far away from coastal hazard areas as practicaL
a. No devetopment is permitted in I/atural protective feature areas, except as specificat/y at/owed under tire
retevant portions of6 NYCRR 505.8.
b. Avoid Irazards by siting structures to maximize tire distance from Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas.
The repair/reconstruction of the existing beach house, walks and stairs is allowed under the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) 6 NYCRR 505.8. The
following are the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8 to the project:
121
.'
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(4) - The normal maintenance o.!structures may be undertaken without
a coastal erosion management permit.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(5) - The restoration of existing structures that are damaged or
destroyed by events not related to coastal flooding and erosion
may be undertaken without a coastal erosion management permit.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(6) - Nonmajor additions to existing structures may be allowed Oil blu/ls
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit.
(Note: Major additions are defined under 6 NYCRR 505.2(u) as additions that
are 25% or more of the existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no
additions it is less than a 25% expansion, and therefore would be considered a
non major addition).
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(7) - A coastal erosion management permit is required for new
construction, modification or restoration of erosion protection
structures, walkways or stairways. Elevated walhvays or stairways
constructed solely for pedestrian use and built by orfor an
individual property owner for the limited pwpose o.! providing
noncommercial access to the beach are excepted/rom this permit
requirement.
As shown above, the project is allowable under the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8. In tact,
portions of the project would be exempt and may be undertaken without the need for a coastal
erosion management permit.
It is important to note that this Town L WRP policy specifically refers to the definitions of the
NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505.8, not the Town's own Chapter 37 (Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas),
which is Southold's implementation of6 NYCRR 505. The relevant portions of the Town Code,
dealing with construction on the bluff, are as follows:
$37-178(3)
New construction, modification or restoration 0/ walkways or
stairways done in accordance with conditions 0/ a coastal
erosion management permit
$37-178(4)
Non-major additions to existing structures are allowed on blulft.
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit
(Note: Major additions are defined under ~37-6 as additions that are 25% or
more of the existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no additions it is
less than a 25% expansion and therefore would be considered a nonmajor
addition)
Even under the Town's more restrictive implementation of the NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505, the
proposed project would be a permissible activity. However, as discussed above, the Town's
LWRP policy refers to the less restrictive 6 NYCRR 505.8. The proposed action holds itself to
the more stringent requirements of Chapter 37.
1 :k
.- <..
The beach house has been in existence since the 1950's. The proposed activities will not relocate
or expand any existing structure(s). The entire portion of the site that includes the activity is
located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area as presently defined by the NYSDEC. The
structure has been located as far as possible from the shoreline, avoiding potential hazards as
much as possible. It is impossible to locate this non-major addition out of the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area. The proposed action meets this standard by avoiding the hazards of erosion as
much as possible (Standard 4.I.A.I.2) and fully complies with the all other aspects of the
standard.
2. Avoid reconstruction of structures, other than structures that are part of a water-dependent use, damaged by 50%
or more of their value in coastal hazard areas.
This standard addresses reconstruction of structures in coastal hazard areas that are damaged by
50% or more of their value. The existing structures are not damaged; the action is tor a non-
major addition and repair/reconstruction of existing structures. Therefore, the standard does not
apply to the project.
3. Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and erosion hazards as practicaL
Maintaining existing development and structures in hazard areas may be warranted for:
Q. structures which functionally require a location on the coast or in coastal waters.
b. J1'Clter.dependent uses which cannot avoid exposure to hazards.
c. sites in areas with extensive public investment, public infrastructure, or major public facilities.
d sites where relocation of an existing structure ;s not practical
As stated in the response to Standard 4.1.AI, the proposed project has been located as far as
possible from erosion hazards and does not change or expand existing structural conditions. As,
stated in the above policy standard, "existing development and structures in hazard areas may be
warranted" if certain conditions, as listed, exist. Standard 4.l.A.1.3 condition letters "a", "b",
and "c" are not relevant to the project. The proposed project conforms to condition "d".
Therefore, the action conforms to this policy standard.
B. Use vegetative non-structural measures to manage flooding and erosion hazards.
I. Use vegetative non-structural measures which have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion,
based on shoreline characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition.
2. Use vegetative measures to increase protective capabilities afnatural protective features. Discourage clearing of
existing, particularly indigenous vegetation during siting, design, construction and regrading phases of any
development project.
3. Discourage alteration of existing natural drainage contours and swales and encourage enhancement of those
natural drainage features where they exist.
While the use of vegetative non-structural measures is desirable, it is not practical nor does it
have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion based on shoreline
characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition in this particular case.
The existing structures are located on the bluff, immediately adjacent to its toe. In front of the
toe of the bluff is a high, narrow beach consisting of large cobbles. These cobbles provide no
medium for plant growth. Any plant material installed on the beach, in front of the structures,
would not survive. Therefore, policy standard 4.1.8.1 would not be relevant to this project.
As discussed previously, the existing structures have been located on the bluff since the 1950's.
The bluff itself is heavily vegetated with indigenous species. In addition, since the structures
4
1 ,~
...1
have been located in their present position for a considerable time, the existing vegetation has
surrounded the structures and stabilized itself around them. The proposed action will not disturb
the existing vegetation on the bluff. It is the intent to replace/reconstruct the structures in-place.
In addition, the existing natural drainage patterns will not be disturbed. Therefore, the project
conforms to policy standards 4.I.B.2 & 3.
It should be noted that the existing trees on the bluff were apparently trimmed in the past (prior to
the 2005 growing season). The trimming apparently topped the larger trees, leaving a substantial
portion of them in place. Significant new growth on the trimmed trees show that they have
survived and continue to provide beneficial protection to the bluff. It is possible that the removal
of some of the old canopy allowed more light to penetrate to the soil, allowing additional smaller
plant species to colonize the bluff, thereby increasing the beneficial aspects of bluff stabilization
and erosion protection. Photographs are provided at the end of this document that illustrate the
existing vegetated bluff.
4.2 Protect and restore natural protective features.
Natural protective geologic features provide valuable protection and SllOUld be protected, restored and enhanced
Destruction or degradation of these features should be discouraged or prohibited
A. No development is permitted in natural protective feature areas, except as specifically a/lowed under tlte relevant
portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8.
As stated previously, the proposed activity is a non-major addition to an existing structure(s) as
defined under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSD EC) 6
NYCRR 505.8, Coastal Erosion Management Regulations, and the Town of South old's Chapter
37, Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas. Therefore, the proposed activity is not considered new
development and is allowed in the natural protective features found on the site. Also, as noted
above, 6 NYCRR 505.8 is less restrictive than Chapter 37; the Town's LWRP policy refers to the
less restrictive 6 NYCRR 505.8. The proposed action holds itselfto the more stringent
requirements of Chapter 37. Therefore, the proposed project conforms to this policy standard
B. Maximize the protective capabilities of natural protective features by:
1. avoiding alteration or interference with shorelines in a natural condition
2. enhancing existing natural protective features
3. restoring the condition of impaired natural protective features wherever practical
4. using practical vegetative approaches to stabilize natural shoreline features
5. managing activities to limit damage to, or reverse damage which lIas diminished, the protective capacities of the
natural shoreline
6. providing relevant signage or other educational or interpretive material to increase public awareness of tire
importance of natural protective features
As stated throughout the above discussion, the proposed activity will take place within the area of
the existing structures; there will be no additional disturbance of the site. There will be no
disturbance of the existing natural protective features existing on the site. The bluff is stabilizcd
with existing vegetation and is not presently impaired. Therefore, there is no need to enhance or
restore the natural protective features. As discussed above, it is not practical to install vegetation
on the beach because of existing conditions. Condition "6" is not relevant to a single-family
home. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with these policy standards.
C Minimize interference with natural coastal processes by:
I. providillg for natural supply and movement of uncollsolitlllted materials and for water and willd trallsport
1:;
All of the activities will be above the beach and there is no dune in the area. The beach consists
oflarge cobbles that cannot be moved by wind. The activities are set on the bluff face, back from
the beach, the area where water transport of the cobbles would take place. Given the elevation of
the beach and the existing stability of the bluff, it does not appear that waves capable of moving
the large cobbles frequently reach the toe of the bluff. Two existing stairways extend from the
structures to the beach area. Upon examination of their construction and considering the existing
conditions around them and the nature of the beach (elevation, composition, etc.), it is apparent
that the stairways have had no or very little impact on the transport of material on the beach. As
such, they provide minimal, if any, interference with the natural coastal processes. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with this policy standard.
Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold.
Poliq Standards
5.1 Prohibit direct or indirect discharges that would cause or contribute to contravention of water quality standard...
B. Prevent point source discharges into Southold's coastal waters and manage or avoid land and water uses that
would:
2. cause or contribute to contravention afwater quality classification and use standards, or
3. adversely affect receiving water quality, or
As part of the activity, the existing sanitary system was upgraded to a self-contained composting
toilet. Since there is no discharge of waste, direct or indirect, the action will not cause or
contribute to the contravention of, or in any way adversely effect, water quality. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with this policy's standards.
5.3 Protect and enhance quality of coastal waters.
A. Protect water quality based on an evaluation of physical factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, nutrients,
odor, color and turbidity), health factors (pathogens, chemical contaminants, and toxicity), and aesthetic factors
(oils, floatables, refuse, and suspended solids).
C Protect water quality of coastal waters from adverse impacts associated with excavation, fill, dredging, and disposal
of dredged materiaL
See response to Policy Standard 5.2.1 above. There was no excavation, fill, dredging or disposal
of dredged material into the coastal waters during construction. There was also no threat of
erosion on the site as none ofthe existing vegetation was removed or disturbed when the structures
were replaced in-kind. Therefore, the proposed project complies with the policy standard.
Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality andfunction of the Town of Southold ecosystem.
Policy Standards
6.1 Protect and restore ecological quality throughout the Town of Southold.
A. Avoid adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay ecosystems that would result from
impairment of ecological quality as indicated by:
1. Degradation of ecological components
Degradation occurs as an adverse change in ecological quality, either as a direct loss originating within the
resource area or as an indirect loss originating from nearby activities. Degradation usually occurs over a more
extended period of time than physical loss and may be indicated by increased siltatioll, changes in community
composition, or evidence o/pollution.
3. Functional loss of ecological compollents
Functional loss can be indicated by a decrease in abundance of fish or wildlife, often resultillg from n
behavioral or physiological avoidance response. Behavioral avoidance can be due to disruptive uses that tlo not
~5
necessarily result in physical changes, but may be related to introduction of recreational activities or predators.
Timing of activities can often be crmcal in determining whether afunctional loss is likely to occur. Functional
loss can also be manifested in physical terms, such as changes in hydrology.
In the narrative following this policy in the L WRP, the importance of the ecological natural
resources is discussed. It is stated that:
"Certain natural resources that are important for their contribution to the quality and
biological diversity of the Town's ecosystem have been specifically identified by the
State of New York for protection. These natural resources include regulated tidal and
freshwater wetlands; designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats; and rare,
threatened, and endangered species. In addition to specifically identified discrete natural
resources, the quality of the Town's ecosystem also depends on more common, broadly
distributed natural resources, such as the extent offorest cover, the population of over-
wintering songbirds, or benthic communities. These more common natural resources
collectively affect the quality and biological diversity of the Sound ecosystem.
'The role ofthe Southold Town Board of Trustees in the protection and management of
the Town's ecosystem, particularly as it relates to surface waters, is recognized by the
Town. The policy standards noted below recognize that federal and state legislation
governing the protection, management and restoration of the environment are not always
sufficiently restrictive to protect local resources. Where the Town and its Board of
Trustees have implemented protective measures that exceed that of federal and state
regulations, local regulations and standards should be complied with."
The applicant will comply with the various federal and state regulations, as well as those of the
Town of Southold.
Furthermore, degradation of the ecological components of the Town of South old will not occur
as a result of the proposed action. In fact, there will be no loss of existing vegetation or
ecological components on site as a result of the project.
With regard to the functional loss of ecological components, this too is not an issue as the project
is a replacement in-place. The proposed activity is consistant with the existing ecological
character established in the area, that of single-family homes with beach houses (see photos at
end of report). Wildlife that currently utilizes the site is no doubt species that are tolerant of, and
even prefer, the activities of man. Secretive and human intolerant species, such as forest interior
birds, would not utilize the site because of its small size and surrounding land use(s).
The proposed project is considered consistent with these policy standards.
Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous
substances and wastes.
Policy Standards
8.3 Protect the environmentfrom degradation due to toxic pollutants and substances hazardous to the environment and
public health.
1 7-
..U
A. Prel'ent release of toxic pollutants or substances hazardous to the environment that would have a t/e/eteriolls elfect
on fish and wildlife resources.
In the LWRP, there is a narrative following this policy standard that is provided to clarify its
intent. Unfortunately, Mr. Terry did not include it in his letter of August 23, 2005. The
following is the clarification and the intent of the policy standard:
"The Town's Site Plan application process will determine whether proposed land use
activities will involve toxic substances. Protective measures to prevent their release to the
environment, particularly fish and wildlife resources, will be determined during the
environmental review.
Further, the dredging oftoxic material from underwater lands and the deposition of such
material shall be conducted in the most mitigative manner possible so as not to endanger
fish and wildlife resources, in either the short or long term."
The proposed project is for repair/reconstruction of a beach house; therefore, a site plan
application is not required. No dredging of any type is proposed. A home does not use either
toxic pollutants or hazardous substances other than household chemicals, which this policy
standard is clearly not intended to address. Therefore, this policy standard is irrelevant to the
proposed project.
B. Prevent environmental degradation due to persistent toxic pollutants by:
1. limiting discharge ofbio-accumulative substances,
2. avoiding re-suspension of toxic pollutants and hazardous substances and wastes, and avoiding reentry ofbio-
accumulative substances into the food chain from existing sources.
Again, a beach house does not use toxic pollutants and hazardous substances. The project will
use ordinary household chemicals (if any - since it is not a residence), which this policy standard
is clearly not intended to address. Neither suspension, no less re-suspension, of toxic pollutants
and hazardous substances nor the discharge ofbio-accumulative substances will occur as a result
of the project. Therefore, this policy standard is irrelevant to the proposed project.
In summary, it is my professional and expert opinion that the proposed action is consistent with the
Town of South old's LWRP.
The above review is based, in part, on the survey prepared for Lewis & Helaine Teperman by Stanley J.
Isaksan, Jr., L.S., revision dated May 16,2005, and my familiarity with the site, the proposed project
and the surrounding area.
If I can provide any additional information or clarification of the above, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Lewis & Helaine Teperman @ East Marion
Coastal Erosion Appeal
SCTM# 1000-21-2-16
Dear Bill:
As per your request, I have reviewed the documentation that you forwarded to me with regard to
the above referenced appeal of the Southold Trustee's decision of the Coastal Erosion Hazard
Area Permit. Below are my comments and my professional opinion with regard to the decision
rendered by the Trustees.
As you are aware, the Town of Southold has accepted me as an expert witness in planning and
environmental issues numerous times in the past. In addition, I have been accepted as an expert
witness in local, State, and Federal courts as well. I have been a consultant to the Town of
Southold in the past, preparing planning studies, environmental impact statements and
environmental and planning reviews for various projects and rezonings for the Town of
Southold. I have also provided similar services to private individuals throughout Long Island
and have provided consulting services to numerous municipalities and State agencies.
Furthermore, I was Director of Environmental Protection and Commissioner of Planning,
Environmental and Development in the Town of Brookhaven. In those capacities, I was the
chief executive officer in charge of the implementation of Brookhaven's Coastal Erosion Hazard
Area's (CEHA) program which, like Southold's CEHA, is based on the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) Part 505, the Coastal Erosion
Management Regulations. Also while at Brookhaven, I was in charge of developing
Brookhaven's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (L WRP). Because of Brookhaven's vast
size and the differences in the various coastlines found within the Town, we chose to implement
the L WRP program by developing a number of detailed L WRPs to address the various sub-
regions in Brookhaven. Furthermore, I have provided consulting services to numerous private
clients and municipalities throughout Long Island dealing with the various local L WRPs. As
such, I am thoroughly familiar with the New York State Department of State's (NYSDOS)
program and have been a speaker at a number of their workshops on the program. The
NYSDOS' program is the basis of South old's program and I have worked with and reviewed the
Town's LWRP numerous times in the past. For your use and information, I am providing a copy
of my curriculum vitae (attached).

~
I am also very familiar with this property and case. I have carried out site inspections and appeared as an expert
witness for the applicant before the Trustees.
On December 21, 2005, the Southold Town Trustees passed a resolution approving a "previously
existing storage shed with no amenities except the outdoor shower and with two wood decks seaward of
the Coastal Erosion area" on the Teperman's property. The approval also placed numerous conditions
on the "permit" that result in a situation that is not what the Tepermans requested, nor what existed on
the property in the past. While an "approval," it in effect denies the application for the Tepermans. The
following are my specific comments with regard to the decision.
As part of the Trustees' resolution there are nine (9) "whereas" that put forth the facts that the Trustees
considered in rendering the decision. The first four (4) "whereas" refer to the fact that the Trustees
considered all the testimony, documentation, held public hearings, visited the site and referred the
application to the Town of Southold Conservation Advisory Council for comments.
"\Vhereas" #5 and #9 both refer to the Town of Southold's L WRP and that the application is
inconsistent with the L WRP in general and specifically with the policy standards 4.IA, 4.IB, 4.2A,
4.2B. 4.2C, 5.1, 5.3, 6.1 and 8.3 as found within the LWRP. This is not the case; the action is consistent
with the LWRP. As part of my original review of this action I prepared a review ofthe Town of
Southold's staff recommendation letter on their LWRP consistency review of the project. A copy of my
report letter, addressed to Patricia Moore, Esq., dated November 24,2005, and presented to the Trustees
at their public hearing, is attached herewith. My November letter addresses in detail how the
application conforms to the LWRP. For the most part, the staff referenced policies of the LWRP and
said the action was inconsistent with these policies. No analysis was provided within the staffs review.
In fact, as discussed in my November 24th letter, many of the policies referenced by the staff are not
even relevant to the proposed action. While I will not reiterate all the comments in my letter, it is
sufficient to say that the staff was apparently "grasping at straws" to try to show that the project was
inconsistent with the L WRP, but was not able to document it. While the Trustees apparently accepted
the unsupported staffrecommendations, it is my opinion that the Town Board must give full
consideration to the lack of any supporting evidence that the action is inconsistent with the L WRP. As
summarized in my letter, after detailed review it is my professional and expert opinion that the action is
consistent with the Town of Southold's L WRP.
"Whereas" #6 states: "WHEREAS, there has been shown to be a historical use of a structure and the
proposed decks in the proposed location." As part of the record, I have reviewed several sworn
affidavits from individuals who testified as to the conditions inside the existing beach house and the
period from which these conditions existed. I have also reviewed historical aerial photographs that
show the structure existed prior to 1976. However, "whereas" number 8 states that "the structure has
undergone extensive rebuilding without prior approvals, to wit, utilities, plumbing, new foundation for
the structure, new siding, new windows, new deck; said reconstruction not deemed to be ordinary
cosmetic repair." It is unclear what the term "ordinary cosmetic repair" refers to since this term is not
found in either the Town's Wetland or CEHA ordinances. The Town's CEHA does define NORMAL
MAINTENANCE under 937-6 as "Periodic replacement or repair of same-kind structural elements or
protective coatings which do not change the size, design or function of afunctioning structure. A
"functioning structure" is one which is fully performing as originally designed at the time that normal
maintenance is scheduled to begin. "Normal maintenance" of a structure does not require a coastal
erosion management permit." As such, and based on the testimony and the Trustees' own Whereas #6,
the activity that took place could be considered normal maintenance under the CEHA ordinance. It
should be noted that the testimony that conflicted with the affidavits submitted was based on people's
apparent opinions of what existed within the structure from walking by the structure, not on actual
knowledge of what really was inside the structure.
The action is located on the bluff, as defined in 937-6. The relevant portions of the Town Code dealing with
"activities specifically allowed" on the bluff are as follows:
337-17B(3)
New construction, modification or restoration of walkways or stairways
done in accordance with conditions of a coastal erosion management
permit
337-17B(4)
Non-major additions to existing structures are allowed on bluffs,
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit
(Note: Major additions are defined under 937-6 as additions that are 25% or more of
the ground area coverage of existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no
additions it is less than a 25% expansion and therefore would be considered a noo-
major addition)
Therefore, since by the Trustee's own admission in Whereas #6, the structure and use existed on the site
and since there is NO expansion, the proposed project would be a permissible activity.
Whereas #7 states that "no residences are allowed in the Coastal Erosion areas." There is no such
restriction in the Town's CEHA ordinance. A search of Chapter 37 does not find any references to
"residences", "homes", "houses" or similar terms. The Town Code, just as NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505
(the State law that the Town's is based on), only refers to "structures." The type of the natural
protective feature the structure is found in within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area determines how
"structures" are regulated under Chapter 37, whether the structure is a residence or not (see discussion
on 937-17B(4) above),. Therefore, residences CAN be located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area,
and even additions added, if they existed prior. However, the proposed action is NOT for a residence;
the action is an existing beach house or cabana. No habitation is proposed, nor has it been used for such
in the past.
As noted above, the Trustees approved a permit for the action and placed conditions on the action that
remove what has been documented in the past to have existed on the site. Among these conditions is the
removal of:
. All plumbing, including the portable toilet.
. Plumbing vent.
. All utilities, appliances and electric.
. Air conditioner.
. Glass windows and doors on the north side of the structure.
The CEHA ordinance was adopted by the Town to prevent erosion within Southold. These
conditions of the permit will not have any effect on existing or future erosion on the site. These
improvements have been documented to have existed on the site prior to both the Town's

The CEHA ordinance was adopted by the Town to prevent erosion within Southold. These
conditions oflhe permit will not have any effect on existing or future erosion on the site. These
improvements have been documented to have existed on the site prior to both the Town's
Wetland and CEHA ordinances. The purposes and findings of the CEHA ordinance are spelled
out in ~37-4 and ~37-5, respectively. Nowhere in these sections, or for that matter anywhere in
937, does the Town have the ability to remove existing structures. In fact, provisions are
contained throughout the Code to allow for the continuation of existing structures, provided there
are no major additions. Since the action calls for NO ADDITIONS, and only "normal
maintenance" (as defined under ~37.6) the proposed is consistent with the CEHA ordinance.
It also should be noted that the permit is in conflict with itself. The approval states that there
shall be "no amenities except an outdoor showe''', but as one of the conditions, all plumbing
must be removed. How a shower can be allowed with all plumbing required to be removed is
unclear.
In my opinion, the Trustees recogni<:ed that the structure(s) and use were preexisting. However,
because of some opposition, they sought to punish the applicants for not initially obtaining
permits for perrnittable work that took place On the site and in the approval they have attempted
to remove rights and uses enjoyed on the property.
If you have any questions or comments, please give me a call to discuss.
Very truly yours,

The subject property was offered for sale in 2004 and shown by the Cook Pony Farm
agency. The Sales Memorandum is herein attached at page 39. The Memorandum
states that the "Beach House" contains kitchen and all appliances and electric toilet. An
electric toilet is not regulated by the Suffolk County Health Department and the Beach
House does not contain a sanitary system.
A survey prepared by Stanley Isaksen, Jr. on April 5, 2004, used at closing of title,
clearly showed the location of all structures prior to the repairs and is herein at page 35
Affidavits of the neighbor Donna Palumbo and a prior owner George Wetmore were
submitted in support of the application. Herein attached at page 41 and 50 respectively.
Photographs provided of beach houses located on same beach on neighboring
properties at pages 11 and 55.
It is respectfully requested that the Board set a hearing in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 37 to consider the appeal herein which seeks a reversal of the
determination made by the Southold Town Trustees as Administrators of Chapter 37.

Re: Lewis and Helaine Teperman

Dear Supervisor Russell
and Town Board Members:
The South old Town Trustees issued a decision in error which deprives the owner of a
permit to maintain and repair a preexisting beach house (cabana). The Trustees further
threatened criminal and civil prosecution if the preexisting amenities in the beach house
(cabana) are not removed. By its decision the Trustees wrongfully terminated the pre-
existing use of the beach house (cabana). The cabana is a pre-existing structure and
use which has previously existing electric and water service and a self contained toilet.
Trustees applied improper standard to deny permit.
Proof was provided to the Southold Town Trustees that the Beach House (cabana) was
preexisting and that repairs were in kind (wood siding and decking) and in
place(structure in same location):
The work undertaken consisted of necessary repairs which did not materially affect any
structural features pursuant to South old Town Code 45-8 (A)(1 )(a) and (b) such that a
town building permit was not necessary. In addition, the work performed constituted
"normal and customary" maintenance and repairs which are unregulated activities
which do not require a Coastal Erosion Permit pursuant to Chapter 37-6. An analysis
of both the Local Waterfront Revitalization Law and the Coastal Erosion Law is provided
by Cramer Consulting Group in which Mr. Cramer sets forth his professional opinion
that the work performed falls within the purview of "unregulated activities" and that is
consistent with the policies of the LWRP. His report is set forth in pages 1 - 14.
The exterior was re-shingled, the aluminum windows were replaced and the electric
toilet fixture was replaced with a "Biolet"- an environmentally sound compostable toilet
that does not use a septic or other sanitary system.
An aerial survey was provided which also showed the existence of all the structures
prior to the adoption of Chapter 37 and 97 to establish the pre-existing size and location
of the structures. [Copy of aerial pg. 26]

The subject property was offered for sale in 2004 and shown by the Cook Pony Farm
agency. The Sales Memorandum is herein attached at page 39. The Memorandum
states that the "Beach House" contains kitchen and all appliances and electric toilet. An
electric toilet is not regulated by the Suffolk County Health Department and the Beach
House does not contain a sanitary system.
A survey prepared by Stanley Isaksen, Jr. on April 5, 2004, used at closing of title,
clearly showed the location of all structures prior to the repairs and is herein at page 35
Affidavits of the neighbor Donna Palumbo and a prior owner George Wetmore were
submitted in support of the application. Herein attached at page 41 and 50 respectively.
Photographs provided of beach houses located on same beach on neighboring

RE: Lewis & Helaine Teperman @ East Marion
L WRP Consistency Review
SCTM# 1000-21-2-16
Dear Ms. Moore:
As per your request, I have reviewed the letter from Mr. Mark Terry, Senior Environmental
Planner, dated August 23, 2005, concerning the above. The proposed action is for the
repair/reconstruction of an existing beach house (12.5' x 24.8') with associated decks, walks and
stairs. According to affidavits, the structures were built in the 1950's. The beach house has
plumbing, electricity and a bathroom. The site is located on a bluff in the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area adjacent to Long Island Sound. A wetlands permit and a Coastal Erosion permit
has been requested from the Town of Southold Trustees for the as-built structures. Photographs
and a portion of the survey of the site and structures are provided at the end of this document for
illustration.
Mr. Terry's letter was prepared to provide a review of the actions consistent with the Town
Code's Chapter 95 and the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP). The Town of
Southold LWRP, and the 13 policies and standards within it, are a refinement of the New York
State Department of State's (NYSDOS) 44 Coastal Policies. I am thoroughly familiar with the
NYSDOS' program and the rigorous process the towns go through to assure consistency with the
State's plan. I have both instructed and been a guest speaker at a number of workshops and
symposiums for the NYSDOS on the L WRP program. In addition, I was Director of
Environmental Protection and Commissioner of Planning, Environmental and Development in
the Town of Brookhaven. In those capacities I was the chief executive officer in charge of the
implementation of Brookhaven's LWRP. Because of Brookhaven's vast size and the differences
in the various coastlines found within the Town, we chose to implement the L WRP program by
developing a number of detailed L WRPs to address the various sub-regions in Brookhaven.
Furthermore, I have provided consulting services to numerous private clients and municipalities
throughout Long Island, many dealing with the various local L WRPs. As stated, I am thoroughly
familiar with the NYSDOS' program, which is the basis of South old's program, and have
worked with and reviewed the Town's LWRP numerous times in the past. For your use and
information, I am providing a copy of my curriculum vitae (attached).
The Town's document was developed to provide an "appropriate balance between economic
development and the preservation that will permit beneficial (sic) use of and prevent adverse
effects on Southold's coastal resources ". As stated above, the Town has culled the 44 NYSDOS
OLvUUO
l C \;UJ,LO
.
.
policies down to 13 that are relevant to Southold. These 13 are categorized into four groups in
the LWRP. The categories are useful in determining consistency to the LWRP depending on the
type of project and its location and setting within the coastal zone. The categories are as
follows:
. Developed Coast Policies
. Natural Coast Policies
. Public Coast Policies
. Working Coast Policies
Each of the policies within the categories is provided with a narrative as to its relevance to
Southold. They are then followed by a set of policy standards to aid and provide guidance in
development within the coastal zone. It is these standards and how the project is proposed
according to them that would determine consistency to the Town's LWRP.
Mr. Terry states in the second paragraph of his letter that he reviewed the LWRP Consistency
Assessment Form as well as other information and that it is his recommendation that "the
proposed action is generally inconsistent with the ... policies standards and is therefore
inconsistent with the LWRP." He then lists four (4) of the thirteen (13) policies in which the
proposed action is supposedly inconsistent with the various standards. However, no supporting
information is provided to substantiate how the project does not conform to the policies or their
corresponding standards. In fact, in reviewing the proposed project and comparing it to the
L WRP policies and standards, the project, in my opinion, is consistent with the intent of the
LWRP.
The following is a review of the various L WRP policies and standards as listed in the August 23,
2005 letter. The policies and standards are shown in bold italics; each is then followed by a
discussion on how Lewis & Helaine Teperman's proposed project relates to them.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4 Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion.
Policy Standards
4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards.
The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards
are suggested:
A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from flooding and erosion hazards.
1. Avoid development other than water-dependent uses in coastal hazard areas. Locate new development which is not
water-dependent as far away from coastal hazard areas as practicaL
a. No development is permitted in natural protective feature areas, except as specifically allowed under the
relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8.
b. Avoid hazards by siting structures to maximize the distance from Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas.
The repair/reconstruction of the existing beach house, walks and stairs is allowed under the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) 6 NYCRR 505.8. The
following are the relevant portions of6 NYCRR 505.8 to the project:
O () .. -, ".')
. ....
2
.
.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(4) - The normal maintenance of structures may be undertaken without
a coastal erosion management permit.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(5) - The restoration of existing structures that are damaged or
destroyed by events not related to coastal flooding and erosion
may be undertaken without a coastal erosion management permit.
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(6) - Nonmajor additions to existing structures may be allowed on bluffi
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit.
(Note: Major additions are defined under 6 NYCRR 505.2(u) as additions that
are 25% or more of the existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no
additions it is less than a 25% expansion, and therefore would be considered a
nonm,yor addition).
6 NYCRR 505.8(c)(7) - A coastal erosion management permit is requiredfor new
construction, modification or restoration of erosion protection
structures, walkways or stairways. Elevated walkways or stairways
constructed solely for pedestrian use and built by or for an
individual property owner for the limited purpose of providing
noncommercial access to the beach are exceptedfrom this permit
requirement.
As shown above, the project is allowable under the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8. In fact,
portions of the project would be exempt and may be undertaken without the need for a coastal
erosion management permit.
It is important to note that this Town LWRP policy specifically refers to the definitions of the
NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505.8, not the Town's own Chapter 37 (Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas),
which is Southold's implementation of 6 NYCRR 505. The relevant portions of the Town Code,
dealing with construction on the bluff, are as follows:
S37-17B(3)
New construction, modification or restoration of walkways or
stairways done in accordance with conditions of a coastal
erosion management permit
S37-17B(4)
Non-major additions to existing structures are allowed on bluffi,
pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit
(Note: Major additions are defined under ~37-6 as additions that are 25% or
more of the existing structure(s). Since the project calls for no additions it is
less than a 25% expansion and therefore would be considered a nonmajor
addition)
Even under the Town's more restrictive implementation of the NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR 505, the
proposed project would be a permissible activity. However, as discussed above, the Town's
L WRP policy refers to the less restrictive 6 NYCRR 505.8. The proposed action holds itself to
the more stringent requirements of Chapter 37.
OOi'\"l'~3

.
.
The beach house has been in existence since the 1950's. The proposed activities will not relocate
or expand any existing structure(s). The entire portion of the site that includes the activity is
located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area as presently defined by the NYSDEC. The
structure has been located as far as possible from the shoreline, avoiding potential hazards as
much as possible. It is impossible to locate this non-major addition out of the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area. The proposed action meets this standard by avoiding the hazards of erosion as
much as possible (Standard 4.1.A.1.2) and fully complies with the all other aspects of the
standard.
2. Avoid reconstruction of structures, other than structures that are part of a water-dependent use, damaged by 50%
or more of their value in coastal hazard areas.
This standard addresses reconstruction of structures in coastal hazard areas that are damaged by
50% or more of their value. The existing structures are not damaged; the action is for a non-
major addition and repair/reconstruction of existing structures. Therefore, the standard does not
apply to the project.
3. Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and erosion hazards as practicaL
Maintaining existing development and structures in hazard areas may be warranted for:
a. structures which functionally require a location on the coast or in coastal waters.
b. water-dependent uses which cannot avoid exposure to hazards.
c. sites in areas with extensive public investment, public infrastructure, or major public facilities.
d. sites where relocation of an existing structure is not practicaL
As stated in the response to Standard 4.1.Al, the proposed project has been located as far as
possible from erosion hazards and does not change or expand existing structural conditions. As
stated in the above policy standard, "existing development and structures in hazard areas may be
warranted" if certain conditions, as listed, exist. Standard 4.1.A.l.3 condition letters "a", "b",
and "c" are not relevant to the project. The proposed project conforms to condition "d".
Therefore, the action conforms to this policy standard.
B. Use vegetative non-structural measures to manage flooding and erosion hazards.
1. Use vegetative non-structural measures which have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion,
based on shoreline characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition.
2. Use vegetative measures to increase protective capabilities o/natural protective features.. Discourage clearing of
existing, particularly indigenous vegetation during siting, design, construction and regrading phases of any
development project.
3. Discourage alteration of existing natural drainage contours and swales and encourage enhancement of those
natural drainage features where they exist.
While the use of vegetative non-structural measures is desirable, it is not practical nor does it
have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion based on shoreline
characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition in this particular case.
The existing structures are located on the bluff, immediately adjacent to its toe. In front of the
toe of the bluff is a high, narrow beach consisting of large cobbles. These cobbles provide no
medium for plant growth. Any plant material installed on the beach, in front of the structures,
would not survive. Therefore, policy standard 4.1.B.l would not be relevant to this project.
As discussed previously, the existing structures have been located on the bluff since the 1950' s.
The bluff itself is heavily vegetated with indigenous species. In addition, since the structures
OOf\f)f)4
4
.
.
have been located in their present position for a considerable time, the existing vegetation has
surrounded the structures and stabilized itself around them. The proposed action will not disturb
the existing vegetation on the bluff. It is the intent to replace/reconstruct the structures in-place.
In addition, the existing natural drainage patterns will not be disturbed. Therefore, the project
conforms to policy standards 4.1.8.2 & 3.
It should be noted that the existing trees on the bluff were apparently trimmed in the past (prior to
the 2005 growing season). The trimming apparently topped the larger trees, leaving a substantial
portion of them in place. Significant new growth on the trimmed trees show that they have
survived and continue to provide beneficial protection to the bluff. It is possible that the removal
of some of the old canopy allowed more light to penetrate to the soil, allowing additional smaller
plant species to colonize the bluff, thereby increasing the beneficial aspects of bluff stabilization
and erosion protection. Photographs are provided at the end of this document that illustrate the
existing vegetated bluff.
4.2 Protect and restore natural protective features.
Natural protective geologic features provide valuable protection and should be protected, restored and enhanced.
Destruction or degradlltion of these features should be discouraged or prohibited.
A. No development is permitted in natural protective feature areas, except as specifically allowed under the relevant
portions of6 NYCRR 505.8.
As stated previously, the proposed activity is a non-major addition to an existing structure(s) as
defined under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) 6
NYCRR 505.8, Coastal Erosion Management Regulations, and the Town of South old's Chapter
37, Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas. Therefore, the proposed activity is not considered new
development and is allowed in the natural protective features found on the site. Also, as noted
above, 6 NYCRR 505.8 is less restrictive than Chapter 37; the Town's LWRP policy refers to the
less restrictive 6 NYCRR 505.8. The proposed action holds itself to the more stringent
requirements of Chapter 37. Therefore, the proposed project conforms to this policy standard
B. Maximize the protective capabilities of natural protective features by:
1. avoiding alteration or interference with shorelines in a natural condition
2. enhancing existing natural protective features
3. restoring the condition of impaired natural protective features wherever practical
4. using practical vegetative approaches to stabilize natural shoreline features
5. managing activities to limit damage to, or reverse damage which has diminished, the protective capacities a/the
natural shoreline
6. providing relevant signage or other educational or interpretive material to increase public awareness afthe
importance of natural protective features
As stated throughout the above discussion, the proposed activity will take place within the area of
the existing structures; there will be no additional disturbance of the site. There will be no
disturbance of the existing natural protective features existing on the site. The bluff is stabilized
with existing vegetation and is not presently impaired. Therefore, there is no need to enhance or
restore the natural protective features. As discussed above, it is not practical to install vegetation
on the beach because of existing conditions. Condition "6" is not relevant to a single-family
home. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with these policy standards.
C. Minimize interference with natural coastal processes by:
1. providing for natural supply and movement of unconsolidllted materials and for water and wind transport
on:l~')5
5
.
.
All of the activities will be above the beach and there is no dune in the area. The beach consists
oflarge cobbles that cannot be moved by wind. The activities are set on the bluff face, back from
the beach, the area where water transport of the cobbles would take place. Given the elevation of
the beach and the existing stability of the bluff, it does not appear that waves capable of moving
the large cobbles frequently reach the toe of the bluff. Two existing stairways extend from the
structures to the beach area. Upon examination of their construction and considering the existing
conditions around them and the nature of the beach (elevation, composition, etc.), it is apparent
that the stairways have had no or very little impact on the transport of material on the beach. As
such, they provide minimal, if any, interference with the natural coastal processes. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with this policy standard.
Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of South old
Policy Standards
5.1 Prohibit direct or indirect discharges that would cause or contribute to contravention of water quality standards.
B. Prevent point source discharges into Southold's coastal waters and manage or avoid land and water uses that
would:
2. cause or contribute to contravention a/water quality classification and use standards, or
3. adversely affect receiving water quality, or
As part of the activity, the existing sanitary system was upgraded to a self-contained composting
toilet. Since there is no discharge of waste, direct or indirect, the action will not cause or
contribute to the contravention of, or in any way adversely effect, water quality. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with this policy's standards.
5.3 Protect and enhance quality of coastal waters.
A. Protect water quality based on an evaluation of physical factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, nutrients,
odor, color and turbidity), health factors (pathogens, chemical contaminants, and toxicity), and aesthetic factors
(oils,jloatables, refuse, and suspended solids).
C Protect water quality of coastal waters from adverse impacts associated with excavation, jill, dredging, and disposal
of dredged materiaL
See response to Policy Standard 5.2.1 above. There was no excavation, fill, dredging or disposal
of dredged material into the coastal waters during construction. There was also no threat of
erosion on the site as none of the existing vegetation was removed or disturbed when the structures
were replaced in-kind. Therefore, the proposed project complies with the policy standard.
Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality andfunction of the Town of Southold ecosystem.
Policy Standards
6.1 Protect and restore ecological quality throughout the Town of Southo/d.
A. Avoid adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay ecosystems that would resultfrom
impairment of ecological quality as indicated by:
2. Degradation of ecological components
Degradation occurs as an adverse change in ecological quality, either as a direct loss originating within the
resource area or as an indirect loss originating from nearby activities. Degradation usually occurs over a more
extended period of time than physical loss and may be indicated by increased siltation, changes in community
composition, or evidence of pollution.
3. Functional loss of ecological components
Functional loss can be indicated by a decrease in abundance offISh or wildlife, often resultingfrom a
behavioral or physiological avoidance response. Behavioral avoidance can be due to disruptive uses that do not
01~:""6
6
.
.
necessarily result in physical changes, but may be related to introduction of recreational activities or predators.
Timing of activities can often be criJical in tktermining whether afunctional loss is likely to occur. Fuactional
loss can also be manifested in physical terms, such as changes in hydrology.
In the narrative following this policy in the LWRP, the importance of the ecological natural
resources is discussed. It is stated that:
"Certain natural resources that are important for their contribution to the quality and
biological diversity of the Town's ecosystem have been specifically identified by the
State of New York for protection. These natural resources include regulated tidal and
freshwater wetlands; designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats; and rare,
threatened, and endangered species. In addition to specifically identified discrete natural
resources, the quality of the Town's ecosystem also depends on more common, broadly
distributed natural resources, such as the extent of forest cover, the population of over-
wintering songbirds, or benthic communities. These more common natural resources
collectively affect the quality and biological diversity of the Sound ecosystem.
"The role of the Southold Town Board of Trustees in the protection and management of
the Town's ecosystem, particularly as it relates to surface waters, is recognized by the
Town. The policy standards noted below recognize that federal and state legislation
governing the protection, management and restoration of the environment are not always
sufficiently restrictive to protect local resources. Where the Town and its Board of
Trustees have implemented protective measures that exceed that of federal and state
regulations, local regulations and standards should be complied with."
The applicant will comply with the various federal and state regulations, as well as those of the
Town of South old.
Furthermore, degradation of the ecological components of the Town of Southold will not occur
as a result of the proposed action. In fact, there will be no loss of existing vegetation or
ecological components on site as a result of the project.
With regard to the functional loss of ecological components, this too is not an issue as the project
is a replacement in-place. The proposed activity is consistant with the existing ecological
character established in the area, that of single-family homes with beach houses (see photos at
end of report). Wildlife that currently utilizes the site is no doubt species that are tolerant of, and
even prefer, the activities of man. Secretive and human intolerant species, such as forest interior
birds, would not utilize the site because of its small size and surrounding land use(s).
The proposed project is considered consistent with these policy standards.
Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation in Tuwn of Southo/d from solid waste and hazardous
substances and wastes.
Policy Standards
8.3 Protect the environment from degradation due to toxic polbdants and substances hazardous to the environment and
public health.
00;):'\'"17

.
.
A. Prevent release aftoxic pollutants or substances hazardous to the environment that would have a deleterious effect
on fish and wildlife resources.
In the L WRP, there is a narrative following this policy standard that is provided to clarify its
intent. Unfortunately, Mr. Terry did not include it in his letter of August 23, 2005. The
following is the clarification and the intent of the policy standard:
''The Town's Site Plan application process will determine whether proposed land use
activities will involve toxic substances. Protective measures to prevent their release to the
environment, particularly fish and wildlife resources, will be determined during the
environmental review.
Further, the dredging of toxic material from underwater lands and the deposition of such
material shall be conducted in the most mitigative manner possible so as not to endanger
fish and wildlife resources, in either the short or long term."
The proposed project is for repair/reconstruction of a beach house; therefore, a site plan
application is not required. No dredging of any type is proposed. A home does not use either
toxic pollutants or hazardous substances other than household chemicals, which this policy
standard is clearly not intended to address. Therefore, this policy standard is irrelevant to the
proposed project.
B. Prevent environmental degradation due to persistent toxic pollutants by:
1. limiting discharge of bio-accumulative substances,
2. avoiding re-suspension of toxic pollutants and hazardous substances and wastes, and avoiding reentry of bio-
accumulative substances into the food chain from existing sources.
Again, a beach house does not use toxic pollutants and hazardous substances. The project will
use ordinary household chemicals (if any - since it is not a residence), which this policy standard
is clearly not intended to address. Neither suspension, no less re-suspension, of toxic pollutants
and hazardous substances nor the discharge of bio-accumulative substances will occur as a result
of the project. Therefore, this policy standard is irrelevant to the proposed project.
In summary, it is my professional and expert opinion that the proposed action is consistent with the
Town of South old's LWRP.
The above review is based, in part, on the survey prepared for Lewis & Helaine Teperman by Stanley J.
Isaksan, Jr., L.S., revision dated May 16, 2005, and my familiarity with the site, the proposed project
and the surrounding area.
If I can provide any additional information or clarification of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Very truly yours,

Re: Lewis Teperman, MD
SCTM#1000-021-02-016
Dear President Krupski
and Board:
On November 7, 2005 I submitted a request for an adjournment to
give Tom Cramer, Cramer Consulting Group an opportunity to prepare
the response to the LWRP.
I am advised that the Trustees closed the hearing and want to
issue a decision at their next meeting (Nov. 16th), we again object to
the Board making a decision without giving the applicant an
opportunity to submit a response to the LWRP recommendation.
A review of your file shows that Doctor Teperman filed the
application with the Trustees on February 17, 2005. The matter
appeared on the March calendar at which time I submitted an affidavit
by the adjacent property owner, palumbo and the Isaksen survey which
the owner used when he purchased the property a few months earlier.
The Board met with me and my client at a work session and the Board
stated that if we could show that the beach structures and decks were
grandfathered that the Board could approve the "as built" repairs
made to the structures. Despite our submission of a current title
survey which showed all the structures, you asked for a topographic
survey. While the topographic survey was irrelevant to the location
of the existing structures, my client agreed to undertake the
expense.
The meeting continued in April with additional testimony, in May
I submitted a topographic survey. This survey continued to show the
same structures before the repairs as after the repairs. I also
submitted an areal photograph again showing the structures in
existence prior to the Trustees jurisdiction. We anticipated an
approval of the permits, however, the LWRP law was enacted one day
before the Trustees meeting so this matter, as well as almost every
0(\'1("\15
.
.
.
matter on your calender, had to be postponed (by the Trustees) since
LWRP applications were now required. The Town and public received an
educational program at the end of June on the implementation of the
LWRP. We immediately submitted the LWRP application. On August 2~,
one day before the Trustees meeting, you received the LWRP
recommendation from Mr. Terry. The applicant was not provided a copy
of this recommendation and was surprised to learn at your meeting
that Mr. Terry had concluded that repairs to grandfathered structures
were "inconsistent" with LWRP policies. I appeared at the hearing in
Septerrber at which time I submitted an extensive exhibit for your
consideration. Our expert on LWRP could not be reached in time
before the September hearing because he was leaving for a two week
vacation. Prior to the October meeting Mr. Cramer returned from his
vacation and I was able to retain him to review the LWRP
recommendation. Our first request for an adjournment was for the
October meeting.
For whatever reason the Town Attorney was advised that there had
been "no activity" in the file when I requested the adjournment of
the October meeting, however, I submitted a written response with
exhibits for the Board's consideration as late as September 21st.
Given that the LWRP recommendation is based on Mr. Terry's opinion of
"Policy's" and that he disregards the express statutory right to
repair and maintain existing structures we demand that Mr. Cramer's
response, when submitted, be incorporated in the record of this file.
Therefore, the matter should remain open pending receipt of the
applicant's LWRP response.

Proposed Wetland and Coastal Erosion Permit for Lewis and Helaine Teperman
SCTM#1000-21-2-16
Re:
LEWIS & BELAINE TEPERMAN requests a Wetland Permit and Coastal Erosion Permit for
the existing beach house. Located: 1225 Aquaview Ave., East Marion. The project is located in
the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area adjacent to the Long Island Sound in REACH 4.
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 95, Waterfront COllllistency Review ofthe
Town of South old Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy
Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form
submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation
that the proposed action is generaOy INCONSISTENT with the following Policy Standards
and therefore is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP.
The reconstruction of the structure within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area is inconsistent
with the following Policy Standards. In addition, it Is evident from the succession of
surveys In the me that the house structure was enlarged during the recoDstructlon. I
recoml1lend that the Board reqnire that the applicant clarify the use of the strul:ture and
lUllend the application to comply with Chapter 37 and further the intent of the following
Policy StlIndards.
Pursuant to Chapter 95, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing
its written deten:nination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES

A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development Imd structures
away from flooding and erusion hazards.
1. Avoid develoDmeDt other than water-denendent uses In coastal hazlitd
m!!; Locate new development which is not water-depeJ1dent as far
away from coastal bazard areas as practical.
a. No development is permitted in natural protective feature
areas, except as specificaOy allowed under tbe relevant
portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8.
b. Avoid bazards by siting structures to maximize the distance
from Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas.
2. Avoid recoDstrnction of structures. other than structures that are Dart
of a wllter-deDendent use, damaged by 50% or more of their value in
coastal hazllrd areas.
3. Move existiJlg development and structures as far away from flooding
and erosion bazards as practical. Maintaining existing development
and structures in bazard litess may be warranted for:
a. structures which functionaOy require a location on the coast or
in coastal waters.
b. water-dependent uses which cannot avoid exposure to hazards.
c. sites in areas with extensive public investment, publir
infrastructure, or major public facilities.
c. sites wbere relocation of an e%isting structure is lIot practical.
B. Use vegetlllive tJon-structural measures to manage flooding and erosion "azards.
1. Use vegetative non-structural mell8U1es which have a reasonable
probability of managing flooding and erosion, based on shoreline
characteristics including exposure, geometIy, and sediment composition.
2. Use vegetative measures to increase proteetive capabilities of natural
protective features. Discourage clearing of existing, particularly
indigenous vegetation during siting, design, construction and regrading
phases of any development project.
3. Discourage alteration of existing natural drainage contours and swales and
encourage enhaneement of those natural drainage features where they exi5t.
4.2 Protect and restore natural protedive features.
Natural protective geologic features provide valuable protection and should be protected,
restored and enhanced. Destruction or degradation of these features should be
discouraged or prohibited.
A. No devel"pment is permitted in "atural protective feature areas, except a$
specifically allowed under the relevant portions uf 6 NYCRR 505.8.
B. Maximize the protective capabilities afnatural protective features by:
I. avoiding alteration or interference with shorelines in a natural condition
2. enbancing existing natural protective features
3. restoring the condition of impaired natural protective features wherever
practical
4. using practical vegetative approaches to stabilize natural shoreline features

A Avoid adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay ecosystems that
wOllld result from impairment of ecological quality as indicated by:
2. Degradation of ecological components
Degradation occurs as an adverse change in ecological quality, either as a
direct loss originating within the resource area or as an indirect loss
originatiJlg from nearby activities. Degradation usually occurs over a

increased siltation, changes in community composition, or evidence of
pollution.
3. Functional loss of ecological components
Functional loss can be indicated by a decrease in abundance of fish or
wildlife, often resulting from a behavioral or physiological avoidance
response. Behavioral avoidance can be due to disruptive uses that do not
necessarily result in physical changes, but may be related to introduction
of recreational. activities or predators. Timing of activities can often be
critical in determining whether a functional loss is likely to occur.
Functional loss can also be manifested in physicaltelU1s, such as changes
in hydrology.
Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of SoutboJd from solid W8lJte]
and bazardous substances and wastes.
8.3 Protect the environment from degradation due to toxic pollutants and substances
hazardous to tbe environment and public bealth.
A. Prevent release of toxic pollutants or substances hazardous to the environment
that would have a deleterious effect on fish and wildlife resources.
B. Prevent environmental degradation due to persistent toxic pollwants by:
I. limiting dischargc ofbio-accUlJ1ulative substances,
2. avoiding re-suspension of toxic pollutants and hazardous substances and
wastes, and avoiding reentry of bio-accumulative substances into the food
chain from existing SOUTces.

Dear President Krupski
and Board:
In accordance wi th the Board's reques t, I obtained an areal
photograph taken on 12-22-92 (closest date to 8/91 adoption of
ordinance). The areal shows all the structures which exist today and
are the subject of the Coastal Erosion Permit. The structures were
existing on the date of adoption of the Coastal Erosion Law. The
repairs, in kind and in place, are permissible to existing
structures.
I have also located the prior owner, Mr. Wetmore, in Florida, he
provided an affidavit after reviewing the areal photograph confirming
that the structures were located on the property during his occupancy
from 1984 to 1991. He also described the use of the beach cabana by ~
Salamone. The Salamone family occupied the cabana as a dwelling
until the main house was constructed in 1975.
As Doctor Teperman has previously stated, he repaired the
existing structures. The deck, stairs, and cabana had been
constructed by prior owners and prior to the Trustee's regulations
adopted in 1991.
The revised survey with 2' contours has been prepared by Stanley
Isaksen, he placed it in the mail to me today. As soon as I receive
it I will deliver it to your office.
Your approval of the "in kind in place" repairs to the existing
structures is requested. The stairs down the bank were not repaired,
they are very steep and unsafe, and we would respectfully request
that the work be included in the permit t void future problems.
".---
/"'Ve yours,
/
Moore

That while Borbra and I lived in the house we made improvements to the house,
repaired and replaced the existing stlUctures on the bluff.
The beach house was built in the 1950's before the upland house was built by
Salamone in 1975. The beach house contained plumbing with an old compost
toilet, shower, Idtchen, and a living area. Mr. Salamone stayed at the beach
house before the main house was built.
I have seen the 1992 Areal photograph and the st.ructures appear as they were
while I lived at the property.

Donna Palumbo, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. I reside at 261 Nassau Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030. I also own a summer home
at 1095 Aquaview Avenue, P.O.Box 602, East Marion, New York 11939 and am
Dr. and Mrs. Teperman's neighbor.
2. That I am very familiar with the Teperman residence and the existing conditions
before and after repairs to the existing beach structures.
3. The structure on the beach appears to have been built in the 1950's and contained
plumbing with an old compost toilet, electric, shower, kitchen, and a living area.
The Teperman's replaced the old toilet with a high tech. self contained toilet. The
building improves the appearance and value of all our properties.
4. The prior owners loaned out the house to friends in the summer and this building
was used by them for bar-b-ques and parties. The Teperman family have fixed up
the building and cleaned up the property. The family is quiet and considerate of
their neighbors.
5. The existing beach structure was not enlarged in any way, in fact the decking was
cut back from its original size.
6. The beach in front of my property and the Teperman's property is a private beach
with limited access. Many of the homes along this beach have beach structures
from the 1930's and we value the continued use and enjoyment of our property.
I on behalf of myself and my husband, Albert Palumbo, support the application by
the Teperman Family and support the Trustees granting of the .pel1lli~s. . '0,.. /

Re: Lewis Teperrnan, MD
SCTM#1000-02l-02-0l6
Dear President Krupski
and Board:
Two issues were addressed at the last Trustees meeting:
ISSUE 1: The trees on the bluff were cut by Chris Mohr without the
owner's authorization.
Chris Mohr was recommended by a neighbor, Chris Mohr would do annual
garbage pick up on the neighbor'S property. Since he was hired by
one neighbor, Dr. Teperman asked Chris Mohr for a proposal to pick up
garbage on Teperman' s property also. Doctor Teperman had spoken wi th
Chris Mohr by telephone, they made an appointment to meet at which
time Chris Mohr would get instructions with regard to the areas with
garbage accumulation. Chris Mohr did not show up for the appointment
so Dr. Teperman did not expect Chris Mohr to do any work at his home.
Chris Mohr was not hired to cut down trees on the bluff or any other
form of landscaping. A police report was filed with regard to this
incident (cc#05-2833).
Doctor Teperman has always used Creative Environmental Design
(David Cichanowicz) for his landscaping needs at the subject
property, Mr. Cichanowicz addressed the Trustees, in person, to state
that he has been Doctor Teperman's landscaper since last year after
he became the owner of the property. He had recently completed some
work around the house (landward of the bank) and they were discussing
future work. Attached are bills of work performed by Creative
Environmental Design and paid in full (Exhibit A)
Doctor Teperman plans to protect his property from damage, he
has asked Creative Environmental Design for a landscape plan for
bluff stabilization and protection. Attached is his plan (Exhibit B)
(}(l[\l'\f"\7
.
.
ISSUE 2: Repairs to the existing structures seaward of the top of the
bluff: Doctor Teperman purchased the property in May 2004. A title
survey was prepared showing the existing structures. The April 29,
2004 survey prepared by Stanley Isaksen, Jr. shows the same
structures of today (Exhibit C). The surveyor showed the deck which
extended over the line into the neighbor's property. The updated
survey dated March 25, 2005, prepared at my request after our last
meeting, shows the same structures, made a little smaller(Exhibit D) .
The decking was cut back to eliminate the encroachment on the
neighboring property. A wood wall and decking behind the beach house
was the same in 2004 as it is in 2005, however, it had been covered
over with garbage and debris. When the property was cleaned up, the
decking was uncovered and repaired. All work was "in kind in place"
as permitted pursuant to Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas, Chapter 37,
"Normal Maintenance" (which is an unregulated activity) and Wetland
Ordinance 97-13 Exceptions to permit, "The ordinary and usual
maintenance and repair of a presently ... existing building... or
structure" .
The Beach house as it appears today (repaired) was purchased
with a living area, a kitchen with all utilities, a wine chiller and "\,
toilet. The building had electric and water service. The toilet was
replaced with a state of the art self-contained system- no sanitary
system is required. Attached is a copy of the original Cook Pony
Farm Memorandum of Sale dated 2/23/04. (Exhibit E)
Also attached is an affidavit dated March 22, 2005 signed by
Donna Palumbo, a neighbor, which confirms that the original
structures were built in the 1950's. These structures were repaired
by Dr. Teperman. These structures are very valuable, other similarly
constructed structures are on this beach, and the owner wished to
preserve them and make them safer (Exhibit F)
While the owner believed that a permit was not legally required
for the maintenance and repair of existing structures, an application
for an "as built" permit application was submitted to avoid a
protracted court action. Your approval of the "in kind in place"
repairs to the existing structures is requested. The stairs down the
bank were not repaired, they are very steep and unsafe, and we would
respectfully request that the work be included in the permit to avoid
future problems.

Donna Palumbo, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
L I reside at 261 Nassau Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030. T also own a swnmer home
at 1095 Aquaview Avenue, P.O.Box 602, East Marion, New York 11939 and am
Dr. and Mrs. Teperman's neighbor.
2. That I am very familiar with the Tepennan residence and the existing conditions
before and after repairs to the existing beach structures.
3. The structure on the beach appears to have been built in the 1950's and contained
plwnbing with an old compost toilet, electric, shower, kitchen, and a living area.
The Tepermao's replaced the old toilet with a high tech, self contained toilet. The
building improves the appearance and value of all our properties.
4. The prior owners loaned out the house to friends in the swnmer and this building
was used by them for bar-b-ques and parties. The Tepennan family have fixed up
the building and cieaned up the property. The family is quiet and considerate of
their neighbors.
5. The existing beach structure was not enlarged in any way, in fact the decking was
cut back from its original size.
6. The beach in front of my property and the Teperman's property is a private beach
with lin\ited access. Many of the homes along this beach have beach structures
from the 1930's and we value the contioued use and enjoyment of our property.
T on behalf of myself and my husband, Albert Palumbo, support the ~PPli ation by
the Tepennan Family and support the Trustees granting of the permits. ~

Re: Lewis and Helaine Teperman
SCTM#1000-21-2-16
Aquaview Avenue, East Marion
Dear Supervisor Russell
and Town Board Members:
The Southold Town Trustees issued a decision in error which deprives the owner of a
permit to maintain and repair a preexisting beach house (cabana). The Trustees further
threatened criminal and civil prosecution if the preexisting amenities in the beach house
(cabana) are not removed. By its decision the Trustees wrongfully terminated the pre-
existing use of the beach house (cabana). The cabana is a pre-existing structure and
use which has previously existing electric and water service and a self contained toilet.
Trustees applied improper standard to deny permit.
Proof was provided to the Southold Town Trustees that the Beach House (cabana) was
preexisting and that repairs were in kind (wood siding and decking) and in
place(structure in same location):
The work undertaken consisted of necessary repairs which did not materially affect any
structural features pursuant to Southold Town Code 45-8 (A)(1 )(a) and (b) such that a
town building permit was not necessary. In addition, the work performed constituted
"normal and customary" maintenance and repairs which are unregulated activities
which do not require a Coastal Erosion Permit pursuant to Chapter 37-6. An analysis
of both the Local Waterfront Revitalization Law and the Coastal Erosion Law is provided
by Cramer Consulting Group in which Mr. Cramer sets forth his professional opinion
that the work performed falls within the purview of "unregulated activities" and that is
consistent with the policies of the LWRP. His report is set forth in pages 1 - 14.
The exterior was re-shingled, the aluminum windows were replaced and the electric
toilet fixture was replaced with a "Biolet"- an environmentally sound compostable toilet
that does not use a septic or other sanitary system.
An aerial survey was provided which also showed the existence of all the structures
prior to the adoption of Chapter 37 and 97 to establish the pre-existing size and location
of the structures. [Copy of aerial pg. 26]

Re: Lewis Teperman, MD
SCTM#1000-021-02-016
Dear President King
and Board:
On December 21, 2005 the Board issued a decision which
eliminated my client's use of the beach cabana and decking. We have
never requested a "dwelling", merely "as built" repairs to the
existing beach house (a.k.a. a beach cabana). The Board's decision
unlawfully directed removal of all the pre-existing amenities. In
addition, the decking was not increased in size. The owner reduced
the size of the original decking, as was shown on the 1980's areal
photograph (prior to Trustees's jurisdiction), in that an
encroachment of the decking on the easterly neighbor's property was
eliminated.
The Board's actions have taken valuable and constitutionally
protected property rights away from my client. You give my client
no alternative but to go to Court.
We respectfully request that the Board consider a reasonable
compromise which would avoid a costly court action. Please place
this matter on your next work session calender so that we can discuss
some alternatives to a Court action.

L WRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM
A. INSTRUCTIONS
I. All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for
proposed actions that are subject to the Town of Southold Waterfront Consistency Review Law. This
assessment is intended to supplement other information used by a Town of Southold agency in
making a determination of consistency. * Except minor exempt actions including Building Permits
and other ministerial permits not located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area.
2. Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt
minor action list, policies and explanations of each policy contained in the Town of Southold Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its significant
beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of South old Town).
3. If any question in Section C on this form is answered "yes", then the proposed action may affect the
achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review law.
Thus, the action should be analyzed in more detail and, if necessary, modified prior to making a
determination that it is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the LWRP policy
standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the L WRP policy
standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken.
A copy of the LWRP is available in the following places: online at the Town of South old's website
(southoldtown.northfork.net), the Board of Trustees Office, the Planning Department, all local
libraries and the Town Clerk's office.

Dear President Krupski
and Board:
In accordance with the last meeting, the existing stairs to the
beach require immediate repairs and/or replacement. The house is a
summer home and the stairs to the beach are the only access which are
used extensively in the summer.
We have requested an emergency permit because the stairs are
unstable, the stairs sway and the runs are rotten. The stairs are
extremely dangerous.
Very truly yours,
C. Moore
