CAC Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
6/14/88
Attending: Valerie, Steve, Peter, Don, Dick & Frank
General Comments:
Valerie reported that a meeting has been set with Peter Walsh for
9:30AM, 6/21/88. The state is not happy with Szepatowski's work
and Szepatowski doesn't seem to want to comply with the c~ntract
to provide an acceptable document.
Committee members questioned why pursue the issue. If Szepatowski
is in default, can't we get a replacement firm or an individual to
write the draft.
Valerie suggested we hire a grad student to do our research, and that
we, as a group, help to write the draft. Ideally, the researcher
should have a background in statistics, planning, and/or economics.

3. Recreational Resources
General discussion of the limited public access to the Sound.
Park Dist Residents have good access, Town & out-o!-towners
access is very limited.
Suggested that Town encourage the Park District to issue
temporary permits. It was also suggested that the Town
review Park Dist assets and future acquisitions by the
Districts. Future acquisitions could have negative effect
on general public access.
Recommend that the Town acquire a Sound front parcel in Sub-Area
I for future Town access to the Sound/scenic vista. Ideally,
a parcel on each sid~ of the Inlet should be acquired.
Recommend the use of the former Gendron property at the end of
Duck Pond Road as a Town beach, and the Route 48 site on the
Inlet as a Town boat ramp.
Recommend that the area from the Carey tanks to Peterson's
on the Inlet be acquired for public access and to provide
commercial dockage. If possible, incorporate a public ramp.
Discussed encouraging the Town adopt a code or permit process
to permit docking a commercial boat behind the owner's home.
Set it up like a mooring permit, with application yearly,
stringent guidelines, and limitations on size and use. Mandate
an enforcement policy.'
Recommend transient motel space be provided on Sound front
sites, and encourige public access be granted as part of the
approval and buffers be created by use of open space and
public access lands.

4. Flooding & Erosion
Encouarge owners to consider all alternatives when trying
to preserve the bluff.
Discussed the baffle system installed in Wading River. Can
we get any data on the project? Conflicting reports regarding
the effectiveness make data necessary. The installation is
at Edwards Avenue.
Inlet-no major problems of erosion except on the west side
near the island, and on the east side near the Old Mill Inn.
Question was posed about by-passing sand from west to east
sides of the Inlet. Littoral drift has been interrupted.
Generally agreed that dredging of the Inlet should be
continued and that the spoil should be placed on the east
side of the Inlet in the littoral drift zone. Channel has
been dredged to 7' in the past and program should be continued.
Bluff erosion: In attempting to preserve the bluff, owners
should be encouraged to use natural plantings to stabilize
the bluff and beach.
Recommend the use of natural plantings on bluffs for
stabilizing the bluff and beach and avoid hard structures
where feasible as a first course of action.
Existing procedures in the Town could review/control the
construction of erosion control structures.
