Next meeting will be 7/19/88. Peter Walsh will attend. Valerie reported Szepatowski will not be paid: Szepatowski apparently can not deliver as contracted. When they cancel the contract, the State and the Town have agreed to Valerie's proposal to hire an "intern" to do the research and to work with the committee and Peter Walsh to draft the report. The State has 2 conditions: first, that approximately $5,000 be held in reserve for printing the final document, and second, that we submit resumes to them for review before hiring anyone. Valerie has started to recruit candidates: it may take 4 to 6 weeks to find the right person. The Town will ask Szepatowski for all maps and data collected to date: Szepatowski may not release them to us. Peter Walsh will help us get on track: set up a timetable and an outline for us to work with. He will probably come down one day a week to review our progress and the intern's work. It will probably be Tuesdays so he can sit in on our meetings. Valerie would like the intern to do the research and prepare the inventory, and then she and the intern will write the policies and incorporate the policies in the draft. SUB-AREA Generally agreed that we will rely on the Town Historian to help us inventory the Historic Resources in each sub-area. Also agreed that the Town and County Farmland Preservation Programs are doing the job. , ( ( ., CAC LWRP 6/28/88 SUB-AREA MARINAS Steve reported that Greenport will take waste from pumping stations, but must know what chemicals and additives have been used. He also reported that the DEC is still working on shellfish restrictions near marinas. Generally agreed that the last paragraph of page I and all of page 2 of our 3/8/88 meeting be reviewed and incorporated in our report. Recommend that shores ide facilities be provided at marinas based on type of customer, use, and boat size. Generally agreed that shoreside heads be provided at all sites, and additional facilities provided based on use. Agreed that we should try to make distinction between resident and transient marinas. Recommend active enforcement of all regulations by Bay Constable. Suggest the Town add additional constables to increase enforcement. Recommend pumping stations at Matt-A-Mar and Mattituck Inlet Marina. Preliminary disdussion indicates Peterson's and the Fishing Station are really local type operations, while the Park Dist., Matt-A-Mar, and Mattituck Inlet Marina a~e transient facilities. Generally agreed that facilities must be publicized and require all to use the facilities. Question was posed: Is there a Town ordinance prohibiting use of on-board facilities at docks? Perhaps we should consider the implications of such a law. Recommend a license to use power boats, especially the larger, more powerful ones. Require boater education courses. Recommend all on-site water and runoff be contained on site, including water used for repairs, maintenance, etc. Recommend that Towa engiaeer or someone designated develop a plan for effective ramp and work area containment. Agreed that we would ask the AMI for the census data they indicated they had. Recommend proper disposal of all repair aad maintenance waste-both at marinas and private sites. Recommend we develop definition of a marina, public access, full service etc. . . " ( ( CAC-LWRP 6/28/88 SUB-AREA I. Development As most of the Inlet is residential use, recommend that potential marina use be appraised and considered on all vacant wat~rfront sites before approving residential use of the sites. Inlet is a major resource: residential use is squeezing out all water reliant uses. Is there a houseboat law in Town. Question posed: "how do we deal with private, restricted facilities such as Yacht Clubs? ~ ( ( .. ".. CAC-LWRP 6/28/88 SUB-AREA 7. Water Quality Ground Water Location Perhaps and use of guidelines wells near for siting water wells can cause salt wate~ intrusion. near creeks are in order. Swimming pools-require water be trucked in and out in sensitive areas to avoid excessive pumping and dumping of treated water into creeks. Recommend limitations on use of irrigation Perhaps limit amount of water, time used, etc. . in sensitive areas. prohibit automatic systems Zoning in shoreline areas should take into consideration ground water limitations in sensitive areas. Surface Recommend we start with Matt Inlet Map and continue to survey possible problem sites, and develop remedies, and require their installation. Ditto Heather Cusack's study.
