PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS ORGANIZED AND BRIEF

ANTHONY SHANNON requests a Wetland Permit to install a 4 foot
black chain link fence and for the clearing of brush, planting of trees,
shrubs and grass. Located: 3325 Wickham Avenue, Mattituck
SCTN#114-04-1.1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here would like to speak in favor
of the application?
ANTHONY SHANNON: I am Anthony Shannon I have drawings that we
spoke about. We had brought into the Tmstee's office early in the week.
It was briefly looked at. I was requested to bring the drawings, which I
have tonight.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Can you bring them up? We will take a look.
ANTHONY SHANNON: One concern the Trustee's had brought to us
that the possibility of run-off. We have looked to curve that. As best we
possibly can.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Did you place the row of hay bales there?
ANTHONY SHANNON: We did place some hay bales.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The CAC recommends removing the chain link
fence and replacing it with a split rail.
ANTHONY SHANNON: Actually that is something that we had not
heard when we had you gentlemen looking at the property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is a CAC recommendation.
ANTHONY SHANNON: We certainly would like to look at.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: To eliminate the fence completely.
ANTHONY SHANNON: When I had you there. You had indicated them
was to be a 25-foot buffer zone and you did not want the fence ~mpeding
on that buffer zone. That is the understanding that we came away with.
What we have done is. We have done is tried to create a natural barrier.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But I do not think the plan reflects what we
discussed in the field as far a 25-foot non-disturbance buffer.
ANTHONY SHANNON: As you look at it probably a large majority of it
is within that 25 foot. There is an area that we would impeding on it
slightly There will be an area that we will be impeding on the buffer zone,
but it will be grass. It is a grass area. We are going to be planting natural
grasses within that 25 feet as well as Kentucky Blue grass.
TRUSTEE SMITH: But there will be fertilized and things hke that.
ANTHONY SHANNON: I will use an environmental fi'iendly fertihze.
Agway does offer that. There ~s a fertilizer that I do use.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA; You have an open-air tea house. 16 ar 17 feet
off.
ANTHONY SHANNON: That was an impression that he had put it will
actually be a brick area, but again that is the other side of the 25 foot
buffer zone.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Can you come up here, maybe you did not
understand?
Here is what would be the wetland line, but you have put the teahouse and
lawn in that area.
ANTHONY SHANNON: There ~s going to be a sod area there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I do not think that represents a non-disturbance
buffer zone. That is not what we mean when we say. If you sit here
tonight you can listen to the other applicants. A buffer zone is gmng to be
undisturbed. You have a stone path here. We do not have a problem with
that.
ANTHONY SHANNON: You had said that we could have that
The four-foot access.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But the patio should not be in it. The grass
should be 25 feet.
ANTHONY SHANNON: So if we can take that imaginary line and run it
Across here. We can have a quiet walk area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It still is to be non-turf and once you plant it. It
should be undisturbed. So a walkway will not be a problem, but we do not
want to see a patio in there. What you have is rosa rugosa, hair grass, in
your buffer. That is going to give you a low storage and is going to
preserve. But I think that we want to see that 25-foot area. Planted up
with those same materials.
ANTHONY SHANNON: We had the conversation when we there. If
that is the final.state, that is what we would look to do. We would bring
this area full across.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Remove the tea house site.
ANTHONY SHANNON: Can we have a brick area on the lawn there?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Not in the buffer area.
ANTHONY SHANNON: When I spoke to the garden design they had
indicated that we would be putting this behind that 25 foot buffer.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I would be inclined to improve it based upon a
plan showing that 25 feet area, planted in the list of species that you have
here.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I would recommend that Chris Pickerall go
over there and show him where 25 feet is.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: They have the line here. I think that we agree on
that line.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: We agree.
ANTHONY SHANNON: There is a line drawn there: You clearly drew
out a line.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Do you understand where that line is?
ANTHONY SHANNON: The only area that I had asked and I would ask
if we could, what we are trying to do here. We are just trying to create a
smaller area. That we just enjoy a little more yard. We will be leaving a
10 to 15 foot area here. So we are asking that we have a smaller area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The CAC recommends a 50-foot buffer non-
disturbed which will bring you back to here. Which we usually do also.
We do not allow anyone to put a fence in there. I try to be consistent.
TRUSTEEE POLIWODA: If this were new construction it would be 50
feet.
ANTHONY SHANNON: We talked about it when we were there it is a
shame that it has to be like that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is the limitations of the property.
ANTHONY SHANNON: So it severely restricts our ability.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I recommend where you put the brick patio that
you have some kind of dry well system..
ANTHONY SHANNON: May I approach one of the areas that are here.
We are finding now that on Grand Avenue that they putting in a drain
system in there. We have talked to the Highway Department and they are
actually taking the Dead End sign and pulling it back. What distance I do
not know. You have asked us to remove our fence, what is going to
happen is in Grand Avenue there is going to be 20 or 30 ft? Where are
neighbors now will be able to come down and enjoy access to Long Creek
.You asked us to remove our fence and as our neighbors come down and
as they bring do~vn their animals. We are afraid that we will not have our
fence now that these animals will now be coming off towards us. Is there
a possibility that we can keep the fence?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: If you want you could put a fence on the easterly
side of your property? We allow people once you get near the water to put
a spht rail section here. So that people would know. YOU cannot put it in
the buffer zone.
ANTHONY SHANNON: Our intention here would be to create a natural
barrier but in the interim. We need some piece of mine. When we have
our children in the back yard.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But that is public property. That is public as the
roads anyone has the right to walk.
ANTHONY SHANNON: I am not saying there. I am saying more
towards here. Where the fence is currently is. Is there a possibility that
we could leave the fence until such time as a natural barrier is created and
then removing it.?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is better to have it removed now.at planting.
ANTHONY SHANNON: It is more peace of mind since we have a two
year old, and another baby on the way.
TRUSTEE KING: If you want to keep the fence along the edge of the
road I would not have a problem with that. But remove the rest of it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I do not have a problem with the fence down at the
end of the road there. Fence across the property I do,
ANTHONY SHANNON: There is not a chance of having a small area
where we could slightly impede on these 25 feet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think we are going over-board with these 25 feet
already. So do you want to improve it? Subject to 25 feet so it has to be
moved back. It has to be moved back on the landward side of it and show
a french dram to handle the m-off.
ANTHONY SHANNON: So you want me to come back to yon aga'm
With a plan that shows the changes.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That reflects it. I will approve it subject to the
new plan, so bring it into tomorrow. It will be approved tonight. But you
must show us the plan before you get your permit. Is there anyone else
who would like to speak in favor or against the applicant.?
TRUSTEE SMITH: I will make a motion to close the heating.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I will make a motion that we approve the Wetland
Permit for ANTHONY SHANNON with the stipulation that the new
plans be brought in and has to be looked at by the Trustee's before the
permit will be issued.
TRUSTEE KING: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
EDWARD LENCESKI requests a Wetland Permit to replace existing
dwelling and replace with smaller modular home. Located: 3700
Minnehaha Blvd. Southold SCTM#87-3-5
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone would like to speak in favor of the
application? Is there anyone would like to speak at all on the application.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I was there today, and it is straight forward and
appr0vable. I just recommend they we place hay bales across the front
when construction begins.
MRS LENCESKI: Could you please tell me where I can get hay bales?
TRUSTEE SM1TH: Agway.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Just so that when the house is being constructed
no materials can fall into the creek. Who will make a motion?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I will make a Motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I will make a Motion to Approve the Wetland
Permit to replace the existing dwelling and replace with smaller modular
home. With the stipulation that hay bales be placed across the front when
construction begins.
TRUSTEE:KING: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
ROBERT & DONNA MOSQUERA requests a Wetland Permit to
remove existing house and update septic system. Located: Hobart Road,
Southold SCTM#62-03-06
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here would like to speak in favor
of the application?
PATRICIA MOORE: I am here on behalf of ROBERT MOSQUERA.
He has submitted a permit application to this Board. Prior to my
involvement in this case and I have looked into the file and I do not
believe that the Board has jurisdiction on this one. He had gotten from the
New York State DEC with respect to fresh water wetlands which would be
the only reason that it would be in your jurisdiction. The DEC wrote to
him on February 23 and advised him that there is no regulated wetlands
under the Fresh Waster Regulations. However, because it is 150 feet from
title wetlands. The title wetlands are actually on the side of Mr. Blsno
property, which is the permit that I had submitted to you. Sometime ago,
Mr. Blano is the one with the bridge. So I have a letter for with respect to
the DEC with no jurisdiction on Fresh Water Wetlands and based (Tape
change)
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What our concerns are and we made some
recommendations on field inspection last week. What we would like to
see immediately is a line of hay bales placed at the bottomof that grade
the settlement (fresh dirt) is flowing into the pond.
PATRICIA MOORE: Just to clarify because it is my understanding that is
not a pond. It is a sump.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Right.
PATRICIA MOORE: In fact it is a man-made sump.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Could a sump be considered a wetland?
PATRICIA MOORE: Not according to the DEC, because a sump.
Because fresh water wetlands are for the purpose of the habitat that it
supports. But the fact that you have reeds does not equate to a fresh water
wetland
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But what we got before us is an application.
PATRICIC MOORE: He submitted a Wetland Permit application before I
was involved and certainly the. application is there but it was based on this
understanding that some how vou had jurisdiction. You do not have
jurisdiction. The closest point is 153 feet from title.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We disagree with that. That might be an
argument but we will not discuss tonight. Because once we describe to the
applicant what our recommendations are for a permit' for this. We would
like to see hay bales put in place immediately tomorrow. What we want to
see is a 40 foot non-turf buffer from the edge of the water towards your
house. In other words you would have to plant something not grass if you
would have to plant almost anything. Flower beds anything that is goingto
grow there, hedges.
PATRICIA MOORE: That property .is not very large.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We do not want turf flowing into that.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: When the pond was dug out all the debris from
the pond was placed onto the property. All the water went into the living
room of the house. That has been changed a little bit because I raised the
house and that has been changed a little bit. So I raised the elevations and
now the water does go away from the pond.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We are not.saying to re-grade it. We do not want
a lawn.
PATRICIA MOORE: If you do not have jurisdiction and you do not have
the right to invoke the stipulation.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I would like to make a comment, tonight with
this type of rainfall that sump is pouring directly into the creek. So
therefore it is affecting our wetlands. I understand your point of the sump
not really being a wetland but this one is directly impacting the wetlands.
TRUSTEE SMITH: The overflow from the sump goes directly into the
creek.
PATRICIA MOORE: Into the title wetlands.
TRUSTEE SMITH: If it was a sump that completely contained the water
And the water filtered down through. This sump does empty out into the
creek.
PATRICIA MOORE: I understand that I do think it is a good idea for him
to put hay bales and eventually landscape the property. Do something
with the property. Keep in m'md he does not have to be here. You iSsued
a notice of violation. So I think legally you do not have jurisdiction.
Whether it is a good idea to put hay bales. I think we can agree that he
can put hay bales there I th'ink it is a good idea. It is certainly reasonable.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Could you come up here, Pat, and show what has
been submitted by the applicant shows the wetland line right up to his
property.
PATRICIA MOORE: The fact that there is phragmites when you seen
that. That is why Eh-Consultants who identifies it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We did not submit that the applicant submitted it.
PATRICIA MOORE: It was mapped by En-C0nsultants who identified it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The applicant submitted something to show that it
was a wetland. Now you are saying that it is not a wetland. Because the
DEC does not say it.
PATRICIA MOORE: I read your definition in the Code of what Fresh
water wetlands are and it seems to apply in the instance.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But it does not take into account the water on a
night like tonight main lines directly into the creek. It is title water. So
that is why we consider it jurisdictional. That is why we made the
recommendations that we did.
PATRICIA MOORE: lust to move forward he have to move on. Let us
assume that he gets a wetland permit from you. Forty-foot buffer is
unacceptable when you only have a yard that is fifty feet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We can make it fifty feet.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: You can buy my place. You can have the whole
thing.
TRUSTEE tCRUPSKI: No interest in buying that.
PATRICIA MOORE: That is a tough piece of property.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I would recommend 25 feet. Since this is a salt-
water marsh wetlands more than a sump wetlands.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: It is a natural occurring thing, because it goes
into the title land. It is piped into the title land.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Before that sump was built. It all flowed directly
into the creek. That entire sump did was part ora system in the road.
That takes in the road run-offbasically drains in the road. Does not filter
it drams in the road to slow the water. The sentiment can drop out of the
water. Then that water goes into the sump. There the water is treated
somewhat and then the water flows out into the creek and into the
wetlands. As to before what happened. The water just ran down the road
right straight in. Completely untreated. Let me just read the comments
fi:om the Conservation Advisory Counsel. They recommended
disapproval for the following reasons. The area must be replanted and a
planting plan must be provided. There is a concern that the proposed
septic set backs from the wetlands all the chemicals that were dumped
must be cleaned up, and a violation is recommended. I do not know which
chemicals were dumped.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: I can proceed from this point on. I can ask that
it be twenty feet. Not to be greedy or anything but I am sure you realize
that the house is very small. I have applied for a building extension
twenty feet from the house going towards the pond. But that would be
years or two from now. That would give me a thousand sq. ft. house. I
dug it out I put a basement in there. It is a very tiny house. I am looking
for twenty feet. That is why everything is the way it is. l just do not have
the money now to build this place. If you take the property away from me
I will not be able.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The limitations of the property are there.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: I would like a garage.
PATRICIA MOORE: He has tried to clean up the property.
Unfortunately the piping. The highway department piped in and the pipe
had bent.
ROBERT MOSQUEA: Every time it rained there. The water went into
my neighbors to the north of me. For five years that woman lived with
flooded basement, every time it rained. Fortunately, I moved in and I
suggested that the pipe be redirected. Every thing that was up stairs every
time it rained it flooded everyfl'fing out. Since the pipes have been
changed. The women that live north of me she does not get flooded
anymore.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I have a letter from the neighbor from the North.
Joan Benken
PATRICIA MOORE: She has no problem.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: "I am writing in response to the notification
concerning the construction of my neighbors. I understand that an
inspection will take place on March 14th. My concern is regarding the
flood situation on Hobart Road. The flooding on Hobart is an ever
increasing problem. My property is very much affected. The Mosquera
have sign cant raised their property by several feet. My fear is that I will
not only be flooded by the water that jumps the curb on Hobart but also
will be flooded with the run-off from his property that is so much higher.
I would like the opportunity to discuss this matter with you. Sincerely,
Joan Benken"
It does not sound like she has no problem with it.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: All the land from the,pond went flowing pass
my house into her house. Now that the elevation has changed. All the
land goes toward the pond. It is a little higher. Nothing was touched
behind there. The blue prints that I had drawn up nothing have been
touched. Right now the way that it is set according to the architect who
drew the plans if water gets on her property. It will flow behind my
property and come in and drop into that pond. The only way she will get
flooded. If that pond over rides it bank which it has been doing for five
years. That woman is par anode and I do not blame her. [ was there and I
have seen ~t. Her place had gotten totally flooded. But there is no more
problem with that. The problem was the pipes. The more water that went
in their the more the plastic floated. So they do not have that problem
anymore. So now the pipes go side way. The water fills in and goes into.
They were turned up before.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: How much fill was brought in here?
ROBERT MOSQUERA: Just enough to get the house so it was not
flooding.
PATRICIA MOORE: That is a town sump and it has not been maintained
and has caused problems.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: It is pretty bad and has a lot of stuff in it. But I
plan on taking that out. There is mental and stuff, and I want to clean it
out and take care of it
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Historically, I think Henry can back it up. The
garbage has been dumped there. But not in the last two years. I mean the
last fifty years. Those things have been dumped there. Our concern is
salutation and nutrients. Reach that which is going to main line right into
the creek. That is our concern. I would like to close the hearing. Is there
any other comment? Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE SM/TH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE SM/TH: I will make a Motion to Approve it with a 25-foot
non-turf buffer, that the roofrtm-offbe contained in dry wells and approve
the septic system.
ROBERT MOSQUEA: Can you make it twenty?
TRUSTEE SMITH: Twenty-five.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: I plant grass and bushes.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No grass non-turf.
TRUSTEE SMITH: You can plant ornamental grass.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: I have a question my driveway falls within that
twenty feet.
TRUSTEE SMITH: That is a twenty-five non-disturbance zone.
No driveway. Not in that twenty five buffer,
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: You can put in a gravel driveway no black
top.
ROBERT MOSQUERA: A gravel driveway, and then I can drive on it
those twenty-five feet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No. If there is a motion and seconded.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
Susan Long Permit on behalf of JACQUELINE MOELLER requests a
Wetland Permit to replace washed away 45' jetty with 45' low profile
(2.5' high)jetty. Replace washed ayvay 125' jetty with 75' low profile
12
(2,5' high)jetty. Located: 4305 Soundview Avenue, Southold SCTM#68-
1-17.1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here in favor of the applicant. Is
there anyone here who would like to discuss the application?
GREG YAKABOSKI: Yes, my name if Greg Yakaboski, just for the
record I am the Town Attorney for the Town of Southold. On behalf of
the To~vn Board. Usually I represent the Trustee's. I have disclosed to the
Trustee's that there is a problem between the Trustee's and the Town
Board. I have talked to the Trustees and I have not discussed the
application with them. Just for the record. In short I would make
recommendation or request that this application be tabled or withdrawn.
(Tape cutting in and out) I may approach I can show you what I am
talking about.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think that there is someone.
JOHN HOOKER: I am from Latham Sand & Gravel on behalf of
Jacqueline Moeller.
GREG YAKABOSKI: I just want to show the Board if that is okay.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think that we understand that.
GREG YAKABOSKI: I would like to wrap it up fight now. I think it is a
cut and dry issue. No room for decision I am ready to submit for the
record.
JOHN HOOKER: I see your point. High water now is nowhere near what
high water was at any time when any of this was built. If you would like
to table it. While we get that ground out. I have no problem with it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I think you have to establish where high water was?
Before Goldsmith Jetty was put in. Because Goldsmith Jetty was a man
made structure. So when the ground was taken away because of that jetty.
It is not a natural occurrence so Jacqueline Moeller could own under water
land out in the sound.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You look at the rate of the normal erosion
compared to the rate of erosion in the shadows of man-made structures is
different.
GREG YAKABOSKI: I will address that when it comes up and go
forward at that time do you want to table it.
JOHN HOOKER: Yes are there any other problems there?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We will take other comments.
GREG YAKABOSKI: If that is the case I will put on the records (cannot
understand) the owners is not on board. That is my point
TRUSTEE KRUPSK,I: We are going to table it that is fmc. People are
here tonight so I would rather hear their comments because if we want to
proceed with this and they have relevant comments I would rather hear
them tonight. So that everything can be addressed at once.
GREG YAKABOSKI: You will have an opportunity at the second public
hearing to readdress the Board.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes.
GREG YAKABOSKI: I did not understand that I apologize.
JOHN HOOKER: It is your recommendations that they precede with this
case.
GREG YAKABOSKI: We will talk outside.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do not leave we have a long evening ahead of us.
You are welcomed to stay we are taking other comments.
DONALD STANFORD: I am Donald Stamford, I am speaking for
Kenny's Beach Civic Association here tonight and within that association
there is a group representing shore front home owns from the jetty to
Horton's Point. We strongly object to any individual action be taken by
any single homeowner. We have noticed over the last three or foul years,
as the jetties have deteriorated on the Moeller/Bittner property. That the
situation along the shoreline has kind of stabilized. Stabilized at a terrible
point, but non-the less somewhat stabilized. Our objection here is that it
already is actually under~vay and decision with the town and the DEC and
Department 0fNew York State to come up with comprehensive solution
to this problem. Ifa project of this type goes ahead. It will throw a
monkey wrench right into it. We understand that they have a serious
problem and tell members of the Trustee's Board that so do many other
people along that same stretch of Beach. A serious problem. There is a
question as to whether the homes are going to survive at alt. None of us
have been able to affect a solution until the entire problem is solved. As it
tums out this is a more lengthily process than anyone visioned when we
started. I am sure you know that the town owns the Goldsmith Jetty and
they are the party that has refused so far to provide any mediation
measures for this and so there are Court proceedings ongoing. This
problem would be must better handled if the Moeller's single folded in
with what they are trying to do. What we are trying to do for the entire
stretch of beach. When the solution comes out they are protected.
Everyone else is protected. It all happens at the same time. So no one
suffers from this. When I say this. The soluti8on that we are looking to
also protects people west oft/tis. You may recall in 1996 there was a
workshop held right here in Town Hall. Which started offwith
proceedings that are still ongoing. Almost five years later. So we take
strong objection to individual action. We think it would be a gross
mistake to grant a permit for any extension of those jetties or even
rebuilding.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I appreciate your comment. We would welcome a
comprehensive plan for this area. This is a serious man-made problem
here. As you know we are tabling the application tonight and I do not
know what could possibly prompt it comprehensive plan to move along at
a quicker pace. I guess anything could be quicker. To have it come to an
actual resolution.
DONALD STANFORD: The only thing that I can tell you is that it is
Town Board, every time it looks like that we are getting closer to an
agreement. They have stopped contractors from doing their work. The
Department of State (cannot understand) getting all the plenary studies
14
done. Our attorney and the Town attorney to map out a way of getting this
done. The Moeller's and everyone else. There are fifty-eight homes on
the shorefront between the Goldsmith Inlet and Horton Point. It is the
stretch of beach that we are talking about.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We welcome any action on this. To make it clear
that Greg Yakaboski represents the Town Board on this matter, and not
the Trnstee's Are there any other comments? I will make a Motion to
table the application.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
I have a fax here from Gary Pendergrass from the Department of State
saying that "We should be aware that such construction would require
permits from the Army Corp. of Engineer's and the State DEC and we
should provide the applicant with this information". So if you could give
the applicant a copy of that. Thank You..
Susan Long Permit on behalf of WILLIAM GORDON requests a
Wetland Permit to install 4'x65' catwalk, 3'x14' ramp, 6'x20' float with
two -2 pile dolphins. Located: 2875 Wells Road, Peconic SCTM#86-2-3
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone here like to speak in favor of the
application. Is there anyone here like to speak against the application or
offer any comment at all. I will read the CAC comments. They
recommend approval
TRUSTEE SMITH: Could you get John come in here.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The dock builder, the next applications concerns
him apparently, This is the application for WILLIAM GORDON.
I just wanted to read the CAC comments before we start. They
recommend approval with the stipulation that the catwalk is shortened on
the landward end, by leaving twenty feet, in order to minimize the
fragmentation of the natural corridor. I am just reading the comments, I
do not think that we have a CAC representative here tonight.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I think we solved that by moving it over 33
feet. If you can come up. We would rather see the catwalk start here and
go out in this direction because there is an area that is devegetated. Our
focus is to preserve the vegetated areas of the creek and that would
accomplish that by not putting the structures through the vegetated area.
JOHN HOOKER: Would you consider, I spoke to the client about this.
We would really like to preserve that area for wading and children playing
having an access to the water. Other than tramping over the muck and the
mud and the marsh.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is only a four-foot area. So it would be a four-
foot catwalk so it would not really take that whole area.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: It could be a three-foot catwalk?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Even if you put to the south side, we would rather
see it over the beach area. Instead of coming inform this direction I am
15
trying to reach the same location here. That is why I am angling it like
that. But it would leave that area opened. Or you could put it straight out.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Also I mentioned, by putting it over the beach
areas we can keep it a lower profile. Which is 2-1/2 feet above grade,
because there will be no wetlands to actually save, because there is no
marsh.
JOHN HOOKER: That will resolve the problem DEC wise. My clients
have had this proposed to him, and he is not really in favor of doing this.
He is looking for another alternative. I do not know if it is wide enough to
put it at the edge of that area and still have any use of that area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is he a new o~vner?
JOHN HOOKER: Yes, and he would like to have that access. You know
how it is to try to get to the water the other way. You step through the
marsh, and the mud. That is no good either. The other thought is he is
going to put a float out here. He may wind up with a seasonal dock and
have to take it out. If thatis the case or even if he wants to take it out to
avoid ice damage that would be idea location for him to pull his float up
on.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is a pretty wide area, you are talking about
four foot.
JOHN HOOKER: It might be ten feet wide.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Another recommendation we had in the field on
field inspection was that the float be turned either a T or L to minimize the
distance. If it stilts out into the creek, it will still give then three feet more
than three foot of water. Actually you really should not have a problem
with DEC at that point. There own requirements are 2-1/2.
JOHN HOOKER: Then they still are seasonal.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I do not know about that. Otherwise, you are not
going to get four feet anyway.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Especially if you go in with a plastic float
I have seen a lot of these. The DEC has allowed the plastic float.
JOHN HOOKER: All the literature that I have seen fi:om the DEC. Their
objection is not so much with the float aside from being. They were more
concerned with the boat being with the float. Hitting bottom or the
perplexes washing the bottom. I got a couple of letters with me actually
that state that they are concerned with the boats at the dock going on the
bottom.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Another thing that we were not clear on is how
this sticks out in relation to the neighbor's dock. We did not get a clear
picture of that.
JOHN HOOKER: The house over here, their dock and pilings on it right
now. Eventually this would be in line with the end of their dock and not
the neighbors. The immediate neighbor, s dock is getting a little knock he.
The second house over, you got no further line between those two, there
~s no navigation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well it still protrudes out, we always like to
minimize that.
IOHN HOOKER: My client does not mind shorting it. We still have not
gone to the DEC yet, and we have not gotten a response from them yet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We are going to recommend that it be turned,
because you are not going to get four foot any way. We would rather see
it turned at an L shape.
JOHN HOOKER: I have not talked to him about it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Just minimize the length, and it gives him more
than adequate water.
JOHN HOOKER: A T shape limits the dock use, off the side of dock.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: Or bring it in fourteen feet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But you are saving fourteen feet, or bring it in
fourteen feet.
JOHN HOOKER: Well essentially not, because if you turn it. He is still
going to tie his boat on the outside. Wintertime is not an issue as far being
out in the creek. It is the summertime is when everyone is using the creek.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: maybe you can give us soundings in the whole
area.
JOHN HOOKER: I have done it the length of this dock.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You have those in the file?
JOHN HOOKER: No, Terry Latham has them and he is out of town.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Try this area right here, wherever the water is, but
keep it to this side so you get the shadings it is going to be. To the north
side unfortunately, the way it is east/west you are going to get shading on
this side as opposed to north/south. Where the sun is going to hit it fi:om
both sides. So you are still get this area that is going to be open (tape
off)) If you could, when you go out there. We will reinsert it in April,
stake out the end where you want the end What some people do they start
even further back and just go with a ramp so they can get up to the height.
Once they get to the marsh, you can start at a ramp instead. I do not think
that we have a problem with that does we. That way it is easier for the
applicant to walk off their natural grade, instead of going down and up.
They can walk across and get up that next juncture.
JOHN HOOKER: That is part of the reason that the other catwalk went
back so far. That is not all wetland, it would be too high otherwise and
you are still looking at two steps before you get onto it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So we will table this. We will see you out there in
April.
JOHN HOOKER: We will see if this area will work out better. By then
we will have heard something back from DEC. So we will have a better
idea of what is approvable.
TRUSTEE KRUPSK~: That is good too. Thank yon. I will make a
motion to table the application.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSK/: All in favor. ALL AYES.

Susan Long Permits on behalf of ROBERT CORCORAN requests a
Wetland Permit to reconstruct two 14' jetties (low profile 1.5" in height).
Located: 7725 Nassau Point Road, Cutchogue SCTM#118-4-5
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: CAC recommends approval
I took a look at these. I will pass the pictures down. Is there any one here
would like to comment in favor or against this application? They are
fourteen foot out.
IAN CROWLEY: They correspond directly with the ones next to them.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: They pretty much mirror the ones next to them.
TRUSTEE SMITH: These are located in Nassau Point on the east side.
TRUSTEE KRUPWKI: Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a second.
TRUSTEE SMTIH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES. I will make a motion
to Approve the application.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
Susan Long Permits on behalf of ROBERT WIECOREK II requests a
Wetland Permit to reconstruct 140' bulkhead using C-Loc Vinyl in place
(Grandfather Permit #5127) Reclaim 100 cy +/- lost fill fi:om 10'x140'
area in frontof existing bulkhead to a depth of 45.0' at ALW. Replace
existing 5'x140' walkway with 8'x140' walkway with attached 12'x25'
timber deck and access steps. Reconstruct upper retaining wall landward
ofnre walkway-and deck. Approximately 20-25 cy o reclaimed material
to be used at backfill and remainder to be tracked off site to approve up
land site. Located: 385 Gull Pond Lane, Greenport SCTM#35-4-28.26
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone would like to speak in favor of the
application.
IAN CROWLEY: I will answer any questions that you might have.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: CAC recommended approval with the stipulation
that a non-turf buffer be established. That the walkways be replaced with
a non-turf buffer and they disapproved the request to claim loss fill.
Kenny did you inspect this?.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I was there today, and I. agree with CAC. There
is no reason to grass the area. As far as the decking on top I do not have a
problem with that. Because there is spacing between the decking and I
would like to see the decking remain with spacing to allow drainage.
Non-turf there is somewhat ofnon-turfbecanse there is a natural planting
of what Rosa rugosa?
18
IAN CROWLEY: I am not sure. What that is there. You come back
eight feet that is a wall. You are going to want 2 feet behind the wail.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Make it a ten-foot non-turf buffer.
IAN CROWLEY: Behind the retaining wail. As far as the dredging you
are not going to approve the. dredging at all.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: No dredging. Do the work don't ailow it to fall
in.
IAN CROWLEY: That was my next question. There is going to be jetty
going on. There is no flush there. There has to be some reclamation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What-is the water depth now. Do you have
soundings.
IAN CROWLEY: I do not have soundings. But the water depth at the
wall was probably about 2 feet. But it is deeper towards the South.
TRUSTEE ?OLIWODA: They have a 6x60 float.
IAN CROWLEY; They have a long float there.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: I could not see bottom.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What do you think Henry?
TRUSTEE SMITH: I would let them do the dredging to let him clean up
the construct.
IAN CROWLEY: They own the bottom there. Everyone in that creek
owns haif way across.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: There is no way to do that work, without filling
up the creek with silt. I know the DEC they do not approve of foreign soil
into the creek bottoms.
IAN CROWLEY: All you have to do is retain when you excavate you
have to retain any fill you put up with. Anything that happens below the
water.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I think Henry has a good point. After the whole
operation and then we can reinspect it. and dredge it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Put the bulkhead in, before you back fill it give us a
call we will take a look at it. See if it has to be dredged?
IAN CROWLEY: That creekwas dredged to 7 feet when it was made.
He does not have enough water to put his sailboat there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Get us some soundings ail the way out.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: My concern is the shellfish in that bottom. The
homeowner's might think that they own that bottom. But they own the
bottom yet the State does not recognize the shellfish in it as those private
owners.
IAN CROWLEY: Has does that work with the property down in Dam
Pond? Ever since I have been a kid there is that one line that you cannot
go, because they own the bottom.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: They do not own the bottom, It is a confusing
issue which the State clarifies as the owners do not own the shellfish in
that bottom.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: ~ do not think that the Town owns the bottom.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: The town does not own the bottom.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We own the majority of Dam Pond. What you
are talking about is ownership of this bottom. Forget the shellfish for the
moment. So what Henry is saying is to do the work. We will come down
and take a look and if you need to reclaim some. Before you backfill as
part of the job. We will take a look at it. Give us a call we will come
down and look at it.
IAN CROWLEY: How should I approach that with DEC.?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You can do it the same way. We will be happy
comedown and look 'at it. Just before you back fill. So if you do reclaim
someth'mg, you use it as back fill.
IAN CROWLEY: Thank you.
YRISTEE KRUPSKI: Are there any other comments?
IAN CROWLEY: Can I just bring something up to you the affidavit?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE KING: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES. Henry will you make a
motion.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I will make a motion to approve the application oft

Proper-T Services on behalf of C&D REALTY requests a Wetland
Permit to construct single family dwelling with private well and on site
sewage disposal system. Located: 5640 Cox Neck Road, Mattituck
SCTM#113-4-1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone here like to speak in favor of the
application.
JIM FITZGERALD: Yes, Jim Fitzgerald, for Dr. Dubovick. I do not
have anything to add to our many conversations. I understand that you
inspected it again last Wednesday. So I would like to hear what you have
to say.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: First, I will read the CAC comments. The CAC
requested the Board of Trustees table the following applications, one of
which is C & D Realty. Upon the Trustee's request. The CAC has closely
looked at application 1341 for C&D Realty. It has concerns regarding
proposed project. Currently, as of 3/16 of this year the counsel is
researching information regard'rog septic systems and set backs from
wetlands. Has produced significant finds from West Virginia University,
and additional sources. Both of the above applications have similar and
environmental concerns in regards to the septic set backs and potential
negative impacts to natural systems of Southold Town. Additional natural
resource concerns apply to wetland applications 56713 Schembri Home.
The New York State DEC Non-Jurisdiction origin for his permit, allows
the Town and it's Trustee's to conserve/manage these smaller yet integral
natural environments for the good of the Town and it's natural systems
within. It is written in here C&D Realty wants (1) Concern of potential
run-offissues from proposed change of grade. (2) Incomplete project
description. Need to know what the dimensions are of the house. We are
looking forward to discuss this with the Board. Of Trustee's. Is there any7
other comment on this application.
I think one of the problems the Board has. It was met many times on the
site, with you many times on the site. We asked for the survey indicating
the current wetland line. Which we received the presciently to the septic
system to the wetlands is a serious matter. Considering that it are title
wetlands and also I was tmable to find test hole information. Maybe it is
an oversight on my part. Is there some available?
JIM FITZGERALAD: I do not know?
TRUSTEE KRLrPSKI: I looked through, and thought maybe I am not
seeing it.
JIM FITZGERALD: I th'ink it was done the last time, Al. I know that
they were dated. But it is not on these.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I would like to see the depth of the water table.
At high tide and at low tide.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Most of the surveys show no cesspool data. The
1985 survey here, showing in the file, showing the septic system in a
different location, that is a fifteen-year document. Our concerns are that
one the septic is going to have test hole data, how the septic is going to
affect tire wetland. See we have a problem with the septic. We normal
do not approve a septic system that is going to be m om:jurisdiction. It
used to be 75 feet, now it is 100 feet. I believe the Health Department ~s
100 feet. septic system that is going to be in our jurisdiction. It used to be
75 feet, now it is 100 feet. I believe the Health Department is 100 feet.
JIM FITZGERALD: The DEC is 100 feet.
21
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So here is the septic system. To act on this, we
have to know how the septic system is flowing into Mattituck Inlet. You
can give us water analysis showing the water flowing to the North and that
there no possible way that the septic system is going to affect that. But
you are going to have to show us how the septic system is going to affect
the inlet?
JIM FITZGERALD: How about if we put the septic system here, where
you approved it last time.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Test hole was taken on the road.
TRUSTEE SMITH: No matter where we put the cesspools, in less than
100 feet, I would like to see the depth of the pool water at high tide and at
low tide.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So we can definitely explore different septic
systems location. This is a septic system within our jurisdiction. We are
not I the habit of keeping them within our jurisdiction. So if we are
stumbling through this. We are only subl'm~ing because we are trying to
do a good job here. When you are probably looking at 50 feet maybe 60
feet to the wetlands.
JIM FITZGERALD: You mean to the line of the phragmites.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No to the wetland l~ine.
JIM FITZGERALD: But it was not the wetland line there you think that
the phragrnities were 100 feet away.
.TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But it does not show a wetland line on this survey.
All it :shows is high water. So it is a different hne. Now in this area there
is no specific pools here. So you cannot actually I am going to the middle
of that septic area would be 90 feet. So you have to show us how you can
minimize the effect, and what effect it is going to have and how it is going
to move into the wetlands. Is there anyway to minimize the impact of the
house. Right now is about 14 feet, is there anyway to minimize the impact
of the house? Which would mean moving it closer to the road, no fill
options. Smaller house, house on piles. Something that is not going to
have the impact or proficiently to the wetlands. So we would like to leave
it opened to the applicant. These are our concerns, the fill, proximity to
the house to the wetlands, and the septic system. Until we know that we
cannot act on it.
JIM FITZGERALD: Let me ask you what kind of information you would
want as far as approving the negative of the septic system.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I do not know? Maybe you can go through the
Department of Health. Because the septic systems has to conform to their
standards at any rate.
JIM FITZGERALD: IfI can get a permit from them. Subject to DEC and
Trustee's from them will you accept that.
TRUSTEE SMITH: A septic system permit from the DEC.
JIM FITZGERALD: For them to construct.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I have no problem with that. If there is no title
difference from lfigh water and low water in that area.
22
JIM FITZGERALD: They take that into account.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Maybe they do take it into account, but I still want
them to have that information.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So he wants two test holes showing on the
proposed area.
TRUSTEE SMITH: One at high water and one at low water.
JIM FITZGERALD: Ordinary high water, spring lin~ water, high water.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Ordinary high tide and ordinary low tide. Not
extreme high or low or anyth'mg likes that. Just an every day tide.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Can the applicant minimize the impact of that
house? Size wise and location.
JIM FITZGERALD: Size wise it pretty impact less now. But I am sure.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I would recommend a fifty-foot non-
disturbance zone between the wetland edge and the house coruer.
To maximize the protection of the black ducks nesting.
JIM FITZGERALD: Of the nesting?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: The black duck, it is a high popular area for the
black ducks.
JIM FIZGERALD: When do they nest?
TRUSTEE SMITH: Spring.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: You have to realize that it is the head of the
creek. It is usually the warmest and it is the primary breed'mg grounds,
small fry fish that is where they all form. I believe in putting in non-
disturbance that is the way to protect that area.
JIM FITZGERALD: Let me say before your close the hearing. Are any
of you aware of any interest that the Town might have in acquiring this
property?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We have been perusing this for over a year. There
was an appraisal done which is in the file. We have been encouraging
people who would be doing that in the Town to do so.. Because theie is a
tremendous amount of road nm-off coming through there from the road.
That is going into the creek. That is affecting water quality. It is not our
job that Sounds lame but it not our job to pursue that.
JIM FITZGERALD: You have an interest in that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We have an interest in it, because of the water
quality on the creek. We have encouraged people in the Town to look
into this site, because that is far as we can go.
I will make a motion to Table the application.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
Catherine Mesiano Inc. on behalf of SCHEMBRI HOMES, INC.
requests a Wetland Permit to construct +/- 3 lx56(irreg.) single family
residence with pervious driveway, on s~te sewage disposal system public
water, drywells to contain roof run-off. Located: 195 Albacore Drive,
Southold SCTM#56-7-13
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone who would like to speak in favor
of the application.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Catherine Mesiano on behalf of the applicant.
The applicant proposes to build the structure as you outlined and we
understand that the property is somewhat difficult to develop. However
this property is a filed map that was created and filed in 1963. The
wetlands that are on the map are fresh water wetlands and a good mount
of those wetlands were created by activities that have taken place in effort
to blend. We are looking to drain this property now. Since the situation is
created'by a force other than nature. [ think consideration should be given
to the application. I realize that although the septic system is closer to the
wetlands than Tmstee's will approve. It is the only site on the property to
install a septic system. This property is located in an area which you
know that ismear the title wetlands and as I understand it is general
accepted that your ground water flow is regular outward towards that body
of water. Therefore this septic system should not be impacting that
southerly portion of wetlands. It should be anticipated to flow in a north
and easterly~direction. We are maintaining 86 feet off of the fresh water
wetlands to the north. And 32 feet offofthe fresh water wetlands to the
south and west. The property is a 17,000 sq. ft~ lot. The buffers that are
proposed. The twenty foot wide which constitutes 20% of the property.
The wetlands constitute another 30% of the property. The total lot
coverage that we are proposing on the 15.6%. We believe that the
proposal that we are putting is a reasonable use of the property. Another
comment that I would like to add is that in the construction of this
property we anticipate that there will be 400 cubic yards of access fill.
Which we propose to remove that from the site. Rather than to build up
the grade around the house. Hopefully will not create any kind of
additional situation into the wetlands area. There are drywells proposed.
Roof run-off, pervious driveway. We will propose silt fencing and hay
bales in front of each of the wetland areas. What are your comments?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI; Before. we start is there anyone else who has any
interest in this application. . .
CATHERINE MESIANO: Mr. Schrembri is here, Mr. Schrembri is the
applicant. He is the contractor vendee for the property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Some other woman would l'zke to speak.
I will just take all the comments £ncst.
MARIANNE MAYO: Good evening, my name is Marianne Mayo I am
the President of the Southold Shores Association. We really do not have
objections per say to the building of the house in question. We do request
however that the Board of Trustees have an overall plan. For all these
properties, which are, probably going in to receiving permits over the next
year for this area. Between Albacore and Tarpan Drive there are
approximately 10 different lots. That will probably be built on in the near
future, and this is all encumbering this wetland area. Where, I am sorry,
I do not understand all the terminology. We know that there are little
pools in this area. A lot of little streams., I live at 655 Albacore I am the
first house, on Albacore Drive and it does run right along my property.
Under Abacore Drive and then out to Blue Marlin. We just request that
the Board of Trustee take into consideration. If any of these little pools
are filled Where is the wash off going to go? At the end of the canal them.
On a night like this. That canal is tan brown from all of the wash-off
coming up atthe end of the canal. I know you have all seen this because
you have been over to the Kick property.. But if you would like to see
this, these pictures at the end of the canal. That water does wash-off into
the canal. We do request that you do take into consideration. The other
thing is that these pools in the summertime is a great habitat because of the
mosquito problem, But if they do not flow they go through streams do not
flow and move the water in those little ponds we have aterrible problem
with mosquitoes.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. Any other comments?
CATHERINE MESIANO: As far as the condition of the headwaters of
that canal. It should be noted that there are drainage conduits that run
from Albacore, which drain, dkectly into that. So it is not only water
running on the surface.
MARIANNE MAYO: Those are not connected. There are' dra'mage pipes
there. There are drainage pipes at the end ofthe canal that are not
connected.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Where do they drain then?. When we inspected
the Kick property we noticed the dram coming out of the bank. Where
does that come from.
MARIANNE MAYO: I do not know. Because we have been living there
for four years and we are still trying to figure out why they are there. I
think that there was a plan originally, to have them drain from the road
into the canal and then they put them in but never connected.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think that you have a very good point at looking
at the big picture there. When this area was originally developed. I do not
know when it was laid out.
MARIANNE MAYO: Twenty-five years ago.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I assure the intention was to fill that area in and
drain the entire area into the canal.
MARIANNE MAYO: It was to open the canal all the way up to the road
was the original plan.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But then it would drain into the canal. So you
could not build a house in that water.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I am handling three projects fight now on
Albacore, I have two for Mr. Schembri and one for another client Mr.
Schembri's other lot I have received a letter of non-jurisdiction from the
Trustee's. Because all of our proposed activities are more than 100 feet
from the high wetlands and I have an application into the DEC and it is a
conforming application, so eventually will end up (cannot understand). I
am also working on the lot just to the west of that and that lot has standing
water on it. I was there early last week and there was this much water.
My question to this Board and also to the Highway Department and the
Planning Department is why the town has not installed catch basins to
contain this run-off and to handle there run-off appropriately because I
have been involved with many instances where there are dra'mage
structures that the town has installed either properly or improperly. They
maybe functioning or not. But the intent of the drain structure is to
funnel that water into the open waters. I do not believe that is not
accessible but is there anyth'mg that the Trustee's can do to get the Town
Highway Department to act on these matters.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think one of the problems is that is the hydrology
of the area. In itself it is a wetland area. If you went back 200 years ago I
think it would be pretty similar. Without the houses than it is today.
Because of the fill, when the canal was dug, so you are starting with a
wetland area, and then that is basically what you have.
CATHERINE MESIANO: But you still have sub-divisi'on that was filed
over thirty years ago. The town approved that. So we have lost what was
contemplated in the town. It had been approved in concept as being build
able. Then when we get to this juncture, and there are regulations and
laws imposed. That will strip the landowner's rights to their property..
While we recognize there are wetlands. I think that there should be some
recognition as to the value of the wetlands. I can see Ken's point with the
headquarters of Mattituck Inlet for example as an important breed'mg
ground for various types of fish and other wild life. But in this situation,
the wetland in front of our property is a drainage ditch. Which was
created as a Band-Aid to a problem. How is that valuable when you
compare it to another situation like the head of Matfituck Inlet? Is that
really a valuable wetland? The DEC has not inventoried this wetland. I
have a letter of non-jurisdiction from the DEC on this property. Will the
Trustee's entertain a request to fill this wetland? Perhaps working with
the Highway Department in some kind of drainage structure that is more
appropriate. It seems that we have a real problem with this proposal and
really what are the alternatives. You can say yes or you can say no. I do
not think that you are inclined to say either because neither is a solution.
So is there something in the middle where we can certainly preserve the
normally wetland area. But perhaps do someth'mg to eliminate the
wetland: area. It certainly not a valuable wetland.
TRUSTEE SMITH: The trouble is when you fill a wetland like that in.
You create problems adjacent to it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The water has to go somewhere.
CATHERINE MESIANO: That is why I say, suppose that there was
some consideration from the Town Highway Department. Because this is
a nm-off. It is not conta'med solely on this property. I do not know if you
noticed that there was a large drainage pipe on this property back in the
property. Large corrugated bended pipe
TRUSTEE SMITH: They showed on the survey.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is that actually on the property?
CATHERINE MESIANO: It looks to me that it is on the property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The survey shows it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: But I do not recommend that it go into the creek.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I do not recommend that it go into the creek
either.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I see your point on the front wetland. Which
was created by Highway. I could not sleep at night giving you a septic
system 86 feet away from the more important wetland.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Well ifI did not have the consideration of that
other wetland. I might be able to do something about that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What we saw in the field; and what we spoke on
the phone was a connection between this ditch that is shown here on the
comer of the property. That could possible flow north underneath the
main road. Right into Arshamonaque Pond.
CATHE .RIi. XrE MESIANO: Correct but if our assumption is correct. The
ground water flow is out towards the main body of water than the ground
water flow is going in the opposite direction.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We are talking about surface water flow. When
we were out there last week on Thursday, we just had a two-inch rainfall
and yet there was no great amount of water standing on the comer of the
property. So that two inches of rain went somewhere. That water is gone.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I am not suggesting filling it with dirt. I am
suggesting that perhaps there is a solution to the rnn-offpmblem. That
could be better handled.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: There is so much water and it is not only from the
road, but it is also the neighboring properties. Is part of that system to the
west? That property contributes to it also. If that water flowing out
throughthe three foot ditch under the road into Arshamonaque Pond that
is more of a threat. I think Ken; the septic system is located right next to
it.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Exactly.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You have to address that.
CATHERINE MESIANO: My point is that when I speak of the ground
water flow. I am referring to the extent of the ground water flow that is
generated by the septic system. That ground water flow is flowing in a
northeasterly direction and this wetland and ditch is southwest or westerly
from out septic system than it makes sense that any affluent discharge
from the septic system that has not been dilapidated by the drainage
through the sand is going to be drawn in a northeasterly direction. Away
from the area of that ditch.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Where are you coming up with that equation?
CATHERINE MESIANO: I depended numerous on the Health
Department and a lot of these hearings are centered on the fact that you
cannot maintain actual separation required between wells and septic
systems. In order to satisfy the Health Department. The installation of the
septic system is not creating a health to someone by affecting his or her
wells. You have to documentation what the groundwater flows are. There
are reports that has been published that talk about the groundwater flow.
On the north fork in particular. The ground water flow is directed
outwards towards the body of water. Generally, on Long Island people
generally accept it as flowing from north to south. However, that is not
tree as a generalization when you have areas of large bodies of water.
When the water flows towards those bodies of water. It does not
necessarily maintain a north/south orientation. As you would stay on the
south fork closer to the lore in an area that you do not have these high
wetlands.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I agree with you completely, but you would have
to prove that on this site. You would have to give us some more test holes
data towards that ditch. I think that we need information where exactly
that ditch goes. That is a big concern. So you would have to document
the ground water flow in that area.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I would say that ditch is a drainage structure
and you would be better equipped to tell me where it ends up. (cannot
understand).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think that is the applicants job.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Well if I decide to do that. Will you give me
help.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Sure.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Because I will need help in getting the
information.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well in our office, I do not think that you have to
wait.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I would not have to wait in your office. But I
do not think that this information. At the very least I would have to go to
Planning Board and look into old maps and see what the proposal where.
What was filed and accepted bythe Town in 1963.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It might run and pick this pipe up and nm right
into the canal. This pipe you showed us in the picture might (tape change)
The canal was never dug out. This canal is suppose to come up to here.
So you also will have to show us where that drain goes. Where that pipe
goes?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: That the water might be seeping into the
northeast because that is a very large body of water, about a half mile
away. No creek, so the water could actually be going down to the
southwest. That is the largest body of water.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Is that title wetlands as of the soundings.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Because that water disappears.
28
MAARIANNE MAYO: In reference to what was discussed fight now.
The mosquito control. I went out and discussed that with them. It
involved the flow from the main road down through all those little pools
and there are plenty little streams and they go right past my house. Under
Abacore Drive over to the other side. There is a big pool across from my
house, and then it does go I believe you are right. It does go down under
Blue Marlin and then into Mill Creek. What they were doing was clearing
and making sure that the water was flowing so that the mosquitoes would
not go in there.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Another question is that he has been watching
this property. He has been in contract for over a year now Many times in
this ditch is empty which would kind to believe that it is draining through
the ground. We do have test hole data on that survey that you have.
Which shows a condition where it would drain. Also another point that
we are bringing out is that. Is that it is not filling up high enough to
actually get that drainage pipe.
PETER SCHEMBRI: We have been two or three times on that site, and
the other site. Every once in a while you hit clay, when that does fill up a
little. It is draining and it is running offacross the road. It is not getting to
the clover on top. The pipe is still, you look at the picture, there is water
in there and it is a foot away from the water. So it is not flowing it ibis
draining slower. When we were down at the Health Department. They
had seen it that is ~vhy we just go there instead of having the Town goes
there. Just let us dig it and see what we have. So we went there with a
backhoe. Actually dug it. They felt that in certain areas that they saw that
in that clover area that the water would take time to drain and would build
up on a rainy day. But that does not mean that it was going any place in
particular. Lot of that area I think has that clay on it. That is why the
water pipe is draining right through. You would not have a problem at all.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is why they had the old brick yards there
because they were on clay.
PETER SCHEMBRI: But I think that the comer piece, that little drainage
if you look at you get that wetlands, you get trees toppling over I do not
see that happening. If you do not have rain for a week or two weeks, it is
dry as a bone. There is nothing there. So it is not saying that water is
coming up from the ground and creating ground water. It is basically
coming whatever rain comes down and happens to sit there. No other fresh
water is coming up through it, creating a wetland.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: If you give us another request here. No, I am
sorry you do have an elevation in that ditch. So in addition to finding out
where that ditch leads, could you just give us a coUple of test holes. I do
think that you have to go with a back how. Just give us test holes one in
the driveway and one in that wetland area. Running parallel to the
property line. Give us a couple in the back to. [ guess one at the top here
and one further down.
CTHERINE MESIANO: Wait a minute we have a 6/7 here and 6/8 here
so if that is lower than this it does not make sense because it is hard to get
it to flow in that direction up hill.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Where does it go this way. Because it is flowing
out of there. The water is not accumulating and sitting,.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Is it flowing or is it seeping through.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: maybe I am wrong and it is seeping down and it is
recharging right there.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I will dig out what I can to find out.
PETER SCHEMBRI: In that whole area, the Health Department had said
that in some spots you are going to have forty feet. So when we were
digging see what we got where we would actually put the septic system.
So we marked the site of the septic would go. That is when we dug it and
it was actually good. The land is holding the water and when it reaches a
certain point, it can overflow into where it can drain so the only way, it is
going te move is to evaporate. So when you go there for a couple of
weeks of nice weather. It is dry as a bone. It is not soggy it is nothing.
Then ;ill of a sudden you get a ram. All of a sudden there are two inches
of water sitting in there.
CATHERINE MESIANO: IfI can ask one question, what is the position
that the town is taking. As far a requiring property like this, when you are
not comfortable ~vith what you are proposing. We are proposing as well
as it gets.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think that you would have to talk with Melissa
Spiro who is in Featherhill, her office is above ours. She is in charge of
that, she does a very good j0b.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I am asking a question again, because I have a
number of properties.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We would like to see that because ground water
re-charges.
CATHERINE MESIANO: They are legal building lots the restrictions
are difficult to get.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Very limited. We would like to see that happen
because there are areas. The ground water recharge is very important.
CAHTERINE MESIANO: Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I will make a motion to Table the application.

East Legion Avenue, Mattituck SCTM#I22-3-31
TRUSTEEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here like to speak in favor of the
application? Only if it is your birthday!
ROB HERRMANN: That would be me, Rob Herrmann of En-
Consultants, on behalf of the applicant, NORMAN WENK, I thought this
would be the most straight forward application we have had. But with our
conversation with the chairmen, yesterday, I learned that the Board had
has some questions to the legitimism as to the location of the bulkhead.
Prompted, by that conversion my office obtained this morning a copy of
Mr. Wenk's from the Suffolk county Clerk Office and actually much to
my surprise that deed. Actually describes a much deeper property, than
what the Board sees in front of it. It is not the Meets and Bounds, a faxed
a copy of the deed and I do not know how well that came through. But the
Meets and Bounds, are not actually described to a mean high water line,
but they are fixed distances. That would actually give Ivh'. Wenk some
ownership of the bottom of James Creek. The original depth of the lot on
the east side is 263 feet, and the original depth on the west property line is
250 feet, But rather than going over those distances. I also learned from
Lauren this afternoon that actually the Board legalized this bulkhead in it's
current lOcation and configuration back in 1984 by the issuance of a
Grandfather Permit. Apparently which ran with Mr. Wenk recollection I
spoke tohim yesterday, also and he recalls after being the first person to
bulkhead along the creek after it is was dredgedbythe Corp. of Engineer's
back in the 1960's. So that would explain if you think of it logically, why
this bulkhead would extend farther into the creek if it were filled earlier
than the ones around it. Because the others would have been situation
farther landward as that shoreline was eroded. So I assume that resolved
the issue 0fthe legality of the bulkhead and we are propoSing to replace it
in its current location and configuration. But replaCe it with vinyl
sheathing~father than timber. Any other question, I would be happy to
respond.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is something that stood out.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: It did not look legal.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there any other comment? We need someone to
close the heating.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I make a motion to Approve the request of
NORMAN WENK to remove and to replace (in-place) approximate 136
linear feet of existing timber bulkhead with vinyl-loc bulkhead. Including
a 10' westerly and 16 easterly return I do not approve dredging of the
bulkhead unless after construction before they start the backfill to see if
the dredging has to be done.
ROB HERRMANN: Well the dredging is an interpart of the application,
Henry. Norman Wenk has described to me and I reflect soundings on the
plan on sheet one. That he has historically had at least four or five feet
where he moors his boat. Obviously there are no docks here, and he uses
the bulkhead to moor his boat. I do not know what size boat he has. But
he has explained that he has been hitting the bottom in recent years
because the cracks in the bulkhead have been allowing the upland fill to
spill out. So we are not really proposing what is going to be large spill
over into the water and we are looking to claim that. It is really is just
dredging, to reclaim the fill that has already seeped into that area. In some
cases it will be negligible where he has three feet. In the center you are
talking about 12 inches of material max. but as you move a little closer it
starts to show up. It shows up quite a bit on the west, he would probably
be willing to reduce the length of that area because he obviously does nor
use the entire bulkhead. It has showed up and it is considered as
incidental dredging by the DEC and is more or less a routine request.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: More or less.
ROB HERRMANN: It is only to the extent that you are not proposing to
dredge a virgin bottom an area that has not been dredged in the past that
create water deeps that has not been historically in place.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Any dredging that we allow now, we want
soundings.
ROB HERRMANN: Well you have then on the plans. I am talking about
a 10 foot area, and the soundings that you have are adjacent to the
bulkhead.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We did look at that on site. We saw quite a bit of
water.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: I did not see one shallow spot. I walked the
entire bulkhead. I was looking for that sand and I did not find any.
ROB HERRMANN: Well the soundings that are these plans are exactly
what I measured in those three price locations the day I went out. Because
he asked me to do it. Because I originally had taken just a routine water
depth at the center point. Because I typically do that. So that I can
provide a cross section of what is there. He had mentioned to me the
need. For the dredging. The Problem with his boat and he said if you
measured to either side. So these are the numbers that I had minus one
foot on the west side and minus two feet on the east side. So we are
talking about dredging a maximum of minus four. It is minor incidental
dredging and this is something that is typically approved by the DEC and I
know your Board has approved it in the past. Not to create new bottom
but basically to restore prior navigable depth. We can use a silt curtain
that is something that is typically required by the Corp. of Engineer's
anyway to contain any material. Where they actually put a curtain out
around that area so any siltation resulted from the dredging is contained.
That is not a problem it is required anyway.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: there are some vegetated wetlands to the east; I
would not like to see anything dredged near there. I would not want to see
anything dredge 20 or 30 feet there away from that wetland. To minimize
any impact on that wetland.
ROB HERRMANN: A fifty-foot section throughout the center of the
property so that you are providing effectively buffers on either ends of the
bulkhead to the adjacent wetlands. I do not see a problem with that at ail.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I do not think that you will be dredging much.
ROB HERRMANN: You are talking about clamshell bucket. Scooping
out the mater there that is shoveled up. It is not a major endeavor there.
33
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Could you give us a revised estimate on the spoil?
Right now you have 40 yards, which is too much.
ROB HERRMANN: So if you want to reduce the length from 110 to 55
cut it in half.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Make it an even fifty.
ROB HERRMANN: You can make it fifty. It is approximately 40 yards
of spoil, which is the calculation I did based on the length of 110. So if
we cut that in half you are talking about 20 yards.
TRUSTE KRUPSKI: Because of the irregularity of the bottom. It is one
foot on one and two foot on the other and three in the middle. To put the
fifty in the middle really brings the yardage way down, because you have
akeady starting inthe middle.
ROB HERRMANN: I can give you than an estimate I will give you a
revised. I :will give you a revised plan that shows the Change in the dredge
area and I will accommodate it with revised spoil copulation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Everyone happy with this? As far as non-turf
buffer do you have any preference to what kind of material you are going
to put there?
ROB HERRMANN: Well I think it will be backhoe with sand. So you
will have to use native vegetation. I do not have a preference would stick
with non-turf.
TRUSTEE SMITH: You can put.decking over it. You can.
ROB HERRMANN: There is no plan but I can pass that along.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That works as a non-turf buffer.
Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE KING: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do you have a fifteen-foot buffer drawn into the
plan here, Rob?
ROB HERRMANN: That is a 15-foot back fill area. But I can show at
least 10 feet of that area as a non-turf. I can give you a revised plan
anyway.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to close the heating.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES

standard program here. The footprint is quite moderate. It is mostly a
second story addition. It is the type of project that is ideal for the regulator
process since that in that the mediation is that the existing septic system is
25 feet from the wetlands and will be relocated approximately 95 or 100
feet from the clear wetlands boundary. The septic system will be
appropriate in size. The project will be oversee by the DEC and also
approval from the Board of Health pending your Wetland Permit.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It looks pretty straight forward. Is there any other
common? The existing septic will be filled. I would like to see a row of
hay bales in place during construction. Somewhere appropriate to be

CHARLES BOWMAN: It is a boat house, You look at it and the deck
area (cannot understand)
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I am sorry what is the dimension of the deck.
CHARLES BOWMAN: The deck is 18.x18.6
TRUSTEE SMITH: There is something eating the house. If you ~vait
long enough?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: What is that?
CHARLES BO .WMAN: A whole bunch of raccoons. Another thing that I
wanted to point out was.. When we put on the plan where the wetland
boundary is located. (cannot understand) We still have some issues with
the well and the house itself it is in line with the houses on both sides. We
will be keeping clearance to a minimum. We talked about a buffer area
because of the setting.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We thought they should keep the original house.
It kind of makes it. What is the dimension of the deck again, I am sorry
when you said it.
CHARLES BOVv2VIAN: 18.6X18
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The rest o£debris will be removed.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I think that there should be two rows on hay
bales.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: A fifty foot buffer, we would like.
CHARLES BOWMAN: We have akeady talked about that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Put the hay bales in place to allow the work to
take place.
CHARLES BOWMAN: I do not know if you want a condition on the
permit on the fact that the map that you have shows that it is a little bit
less, Or I can get you a new map.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think we are close enough to let it go there. I am
sure of the 100 now. Which is pretty close. It is not that it is 30 feet of
wetlands.
CHARLES BOWMAN: No not all.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Not even three feet of wetlands. We did not have a
problem with it. Our concern was the clean-up. Do I have a motion to
close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
Will you make a motion?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I will make a motion to Approve the Wetland
Permit on behalf ofDAVD C. BOSTIC to demolish the 544 s.f. dwelling
and reconstruct new dwelling incorporating 1,590 s.f. building sanitary
system should be located 100' landward of the freshwater wetland
boundary, and a well located 100' landward of the proposed leaching pool
The deck shall be removed and replaced with a 4 foot catwalk did we
find out how long that catwalk is?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We never talked about that?
CHARLES BOWMAN: I was under the impression that you were
approving the 8'x18.6"
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: When we were out there. We discussed instead of
the deck and rest of the regular catwalk down to the float.
CHARLES BOWMAN: There is not a float there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Did you apply for the float?
CHARLES BOWMAN: What it shows on our plans is not a float. It is
actually what was there before. I think it is important to state that the boat
house ~s: going to be removed and that little deck area (cannot understand).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is a big catwalk that parallels the shoreline.
Then it should not, not to make any comment about the stockade fence
next door.
CHARLES BOWMAN: You could not get over.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We did not try to get over it actually. But it
should not extend pass the property line. It shows it on the survey that it
extends past it.
CHARLES BOWMAN: It shows it on our plan that it does not. Well we
can shorten it up so it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Our policy is 15 feet offthe property line. But in
this case where it is pre-existing.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: What size fence would you propose.
TRUSTEE SMITH: What size deck was there?
CHARLES BOWMAN: What is there now is 18.6x18.
Is that okay.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Yes.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: With 18'x18.6'
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KING: Can you place drywells in fi:ont of it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes drywells for roof-run-off.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Place drywells to contain roof run-off and a
double ~:ow of hay bales. 18'x8.6' timber deck to be reconstructed in
kind/in place 8'x6' steps, 4'x10' dock, 4"x4" posts - 8' depth of
penetration.
