like to thank you and I hope in reviewing this. It is in place and if you have
any questions I will answer them ifI can. Thank you.
TRUSTE POLIWODA: Does anyone have any other comments?
Does the Board have comments? The CAC did not make any objections.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Where is the spoil sight?
JAMES RICH, JR.: Two gentlemen from the DEC were at the house two
days ago and they said that they would rather I remove the spoil from the site
completely. Rather than put it on the lawn, which would be agreeable to me if
it was agreeable to you. I have a contractor who will remove it on a barge
rather than put it on the lawn. This is what the DEC recommended. They
were there and that is the only comment, that theyhad for me. Two
gentlemen I do not know their names.
TRUSTEE SMITH: It is a small project. It was originally permitted for.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: I would like to comment that there was a permit in
place in 1960. The area is closed for shell fishing. Any other comment?

2. THOMAS J. MC CARTHY requests a Wetland Permit to construct a single
family residence with deck, pool, detached garage. Located: 1605
Goosecreek Lane, Southold NY SCTM#77-03-17.1
TRUSTEE SMITH: Any one here would like to speak on behalf of Mr.
McCarthy?
THOMAS McCARTHY: Good evening, Tom McCarthy and my wife Susan
are here this evemng. Just a brief explanation why we are here. We have
been in the process as the Trustees know it has been before you previously.
We obtaineda dock permit several years ago on this particular piece of
property. We are in the process of developing our house plans. We submitted
to the Health Department and the Board of Review obtained apprOval from
Board of Review for this. We have obtained our DEC approval and the
Building Department with the location of the house being in front of the
elevation 8 line on the property. So we had to go back and we had to redraw
house plans in order to get behind the elevation line. What we did was we
had to go back and redraw the house plans so that we could get behind the
elevation 8 line and it conflicted with our understanding what was going on
with the property. We were under the impression that we could build in the B
Zone and not be in the flood zone and the building department took the
interpretation even though our house was in the B zone, which we interpreted
to be not in the flood zone. Which was below the elevation 8 line. We
changed the footprint of the house and redesigned the hOUse and we did not
come any closer to the tidal wetlands than the original house that we planned
for. The Building Department sent us back to Health Department. Health
Department sent us back to the DEC. Three or four months later it got out of
the DEC went to the Health Department, brought it back over to the Building
Department. Building Department said guess what? Trustee's now have
jurisdiction within 100 feet, even though our building, we have a private
covenant on the property that we cannot be any closer than 100 feet. We are
at the 100-foot line. The Building Department figured that we were going to
be disturbing something within your jurisdiction that is whywe are here this
evening.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I sure do not want to send you back to the Health
Department.
THOMAS MCCARTHY: It could be more longer drawn out than that. But
that is where we are in a nutshell. We do have approval from you folks,
originally for the dock that we have on sight. We would love to get your
approval this evening if possible. I would be happy to answer any questions
you may have.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Does any one else have any comments on this property?
Does the BOard have any comments?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We did not think that it was that comphcated when
we looked at it. Put up a line ofhaybales during construction at the clearing
line of 75 foot wetland line. We would like drywells and gutters for roofrun-
offi
THOMAS MC CARTHY: DEC has similar questions regarding the
driveway/ Where the driveway is impervious or pervious and that there be a
ten foot contour from out of their jurisdiction. Is that something similar does
it depend on where it is. If it is within 100 feet.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: No it is all down-hill.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It was outside of our jurisdiction however because of
the activity there. Nothing like this is going to happen here, but because of
the activity it became part of our jurisdiction. But still we can require gutters
and drywells.
THOMAS MCCARTHY: Be happy to do it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I will make a Motion to close the public hearing.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA; So moved.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor, ALL AYES
TRUSTEE SMITH: I will make a Motion to Approve the application for
THOMAS MCCARTHY with the stipulation that haybales be put up to the
75 foot set back line and to contain the roofrun-offinto drywells with gutters
and leaders into the drywells.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Seconded
TRUSTEE SMITH: All in favor. ALL AYES.
3. 'WILLIAM J. AYLWARD (AS CONTRACT VENDEE) requests a
Wetland Permit to construct a dwelling, cesspool and septic tank, impervious
driveway, 24x24 detached garage, drywells and related necessary activities to
construct. Located: 14395 Main Bayview Road, Southold SCTM#89-1-3
TRUSTEE KING: Are there any comments?
(Tape change)
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: CAC recommends approval with a 60 foot non-
disturbance buffer. We have a letter from Valerie Scopaz the Town Planner
and she would like to offer the following observations. The driveway location
should be relocated to the other side of the house. So it runs between the
house and the next lot. The garage can also be re-oriented so that the entrance
to the garage faces the street. These changes to the site layout will remove the
necessity to obtain as much of a variance. They also will protect the wetlands.
Construction of a driveway in the original proposed location will require
construction 'closer than 75 feet to the wetlands.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Where does she propose to put the sanitary system?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: She does not mention that yet.
TRUSTEE SMITH: This drawing here goes up by South Bayview Road.
over 100 feet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Although not specified in the application to the
Trustees, it is evident that the applicant intends to bring in fill in order to raise
the first floor elevation of the new residence to 15 feet above.
MR. AYLWARD: No
TRUSTEE KURPSKI: I was trying to find you have over ten feet to water at
the test hole. The current elevation is just above 10 foot sea level accordingly
the change in grade of 5 feet will have an impact on the Wetland. But you
have no plans To bring in full.
.MR. AYLWARD: No I have no intention in bringing in fill.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Her recommendations are in sum as follows: Relocate
driveway, covenant that driveway remain pervious, or if paved, that drainage
system be required.
MR. AYLWARD: But I think by moving the driveway closer to the house
you would be putting the septic closer to the wetlands. You cannot have a
driveway over the septic.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Yes you can -you have it shown that way on your
application and it will be a little different system what you have there. It all
has to be traffic bearing. But it can be done.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: First of all are there any other comments on this
application, before or against the application.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: I think we should stick with a 50 foot non-
disturbance buffer with hay bales.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We visited the site on Wednesday and we did not see
the same concerns as the Town Planner saw. The only change that I would
make is on the west side of the driveway after the house which is non-
disturbance up to the driveway and then you could open it up past there. You
know what I am saying. Which would give you a better buffer from the road
anyway. Just from the road to the house non-disturbance on the opposite side
of the driveway.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Basically that is what it is really, because where the
haybales are.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Then once past there it would be a 50 foot non-
disturbance buffer.
MR. AYLWARD: It actually opens up in the back. Because of the wetlands.
TRUSTEE KING: I will make a Motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Se moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KING: I will make a Motion to Approve the Wetland Permit to
construct a dwelling, cesspool and septic tank, impervious driveway, 24x24
detached garage, drywells and related necessary activities to construct. No fill
to be brought in and a row ofhaybales at the 50 foot buffer to be left there and
that be an non-disturbed buffer.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to second.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA:'Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRESS: All in favor. ALL AYES.

DAVID KII BRIDE: The application was heard by you in the November
meeting that application included the swimming pool which we do not think
we are going to do at this point. But you did approve that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The only problem I had was that I looked at the bank
and this area is pretty, well vegetated as it is. I would not have a problem with
you filling in some of the holes not a straight bank that was blown out during
the storm. But I would not want to see that all covered with vegetation.
DAVID KIt.BRIDE: There are a couple o£ cradlers that should not be there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Right, so if you could give us a set of plans. I would
rather approve this tonight. So if you could give us a set of plans and a
description showing us that and the cradlers will be filled but the grade will be
more or less stay the same. You are not going to use the whole 200 cy I
would rather not see all that put on there because it is fairly stable.

9. Meryl J. Kramer, Architect on behalf of ED & EILEEN MAHER requests a
Wetland Permit for frrst floor addition including screened porch and second
floor addition. Located: 3655 Bayshore Road, Greenport, NY SCTM#53-06-
15
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Has anyone have comments about this application?
MERYL KRAMER: Good evening, I am Meryl Kramer I am representing the
Maher's. I would like to make one comment was that the Maher's were
interested in getting their approval from DEC and to get the configuration
approval from you before they went ahead with special drawings so that is
why we do not have septic on the drawings for approval for you. There ~s an
existing septic landward of the house and seaward of the house. (cannot
understand)
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I did the inspection on this.
11
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We only sent one board member out on it. We do this
on a lot of them. That are not difficult applications.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Does anyone have a comment?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: It was not posted and I had a concern about the septic
system on the seaward side. You said they are gomg to relocate it to the
landward side of the house.
MERYL KRAMER: If it is required. We would. They have a septic right
now tO.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: They have one on the bay side and there is another one
on the other side.
MERYL KRAMER: I believe both are being used.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: How much of that second story addition is going to
increase the house in terms of bedrooms.
MERYL KRAMER: I think they are going to be adding two bedrooms that
they are actually converting one of the bedrooms into a den. So they are just
adding one bedroom.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: That will make a total of how many?
MERYL KRAMER: Three.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: That is a very shallow area and the septic system are
extremely inadequate in that entire area because of these houses that were
built years ago and only used as a week-end homes. The depth of water and I
would suggest that if you are going to have a total of three bedrooms that
system has to be certified by an engineer. That it will withstand the three
bedroom house. Because it is far under the present day standards of what it
should be. The existing cesspool on the water side is only going to be five
feet away from the foundation of this porch. What I was going to suggest one
of the things that I wrote down here. Was to move the septic system on the
landward side of the house. Get rid of the cesspool on the water side
completely. You can pump it out and fill it. It is not going to hurt being there
once it is filled in. My concern is that and it happens many times when they
put this enormous house on a postage stamp and they never do anything with
the septic system. Four of five bedrooms and before you know it is
overflowing and there is no room to put a new one.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Put that in as one of the recommendations.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I would suggest that you do that.
MERYL KRAMER: When we apply to the Health Department hopefully get
our approval. Do we need to come back?Here?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You may not have to go to the Health Department for
this if you can get the system certified. If someone will certified that is
adequate, I serious doubt that it is if you eliminate this one portion of it and do
not move it landward or if you just put another system in on the landward
side.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Our condition is that it will be pumped and filled on
the seaward side.
MERYL KRAMER: Okay.
12
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What you do on the landward side. I assume is going
to be non-jurisdictional.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Not necessarily.
MERYL KRAMER: Will it go beyond the 100 feet. We have 135 feet.
TRUSTEE I~RUPSKI: At least if it is relocated on the landward side of the
house. I do not think the Board will have a problem with that.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: No actually if you do it as pre-existing you would not
have to go to the Health Department. You have to go to the Town only.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I would rather just write a permit tonight...
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Put those conditions.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That the old one be filled on the water side of the
house and the new system be relocated on the landward side of the house at
the applicants discretion.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Some of the existing system maybe able to be utilized.
Depending on what it is on the landward side..
MERYL KRAMER: The one on the landward side is 4x8x3.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You might be able to use that as a grease trap.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would that make sense it would leave it to the
applicant's discretion. To find a location so you would not have to come back
to us. Your options are' limited here anyway. It is pre-existing.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You will have to make it as a condition of the permit
that it is done.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The footprint is acceptable.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Yes. I did not see any problem with it. It is bulkhead it
is a concrete bulkhead.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: Any other comments? I will make a motion to
close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: All in favor. ALL AYES.

10. GUSMAR REALTY requests a Wetland Permit to re-seed existing area for
existing sprinkler system and fencing. Located: 1685 Shipyard Lane, East
Marion, NY SCTM#38-7-12

TRUSTEE SMITH: Is there any one here would like to speak with regard to
this application. Please come up to micro-phone state your name.
JOSEPH WYLLIE: My name if Joseph Wyllie, I live in Cleaves Point
Condominiums which is adjacent to Gusmar Realty property that they are
discussing here. The first question that I have the manager of our condo sent
a letter to the Board of Trustees, Town of Southold dated May22, 2001 and
asking if you received the letter. Would it be all fight ifI read the letter to
you. It is to the Board of Trustees Town of Southold, and it states Cleaves
Point Condominiums. being an adjacent property owner to the above stated
parcel of which an. application is being made wished to express concern that
the work already implemented and any future work in this respect might result
in problems with nm-off created by altering the grade. We would also like to
take this opportunity to question the vehicular traffic that habitually crosses
over this Park and Recreational area to access the foot of the dock. Does the
CC&R document for Summit Estates refer to this situation, and how so? By
the way, Cleaves Point Commons Condominium was not served a "Notice to
Adjacent Property Owner", and we would appreciate that the records be noted
to do so in the future. That was the letter that was sent and I am here as a
resident of the Cleaves Point Condos and I think we have a situation where the
cart is before the horse. They are applying for a permit to re-seed the existing
area and existing sprinkler system and fencing. When the truth of the matter
is. That in the past five weeks during the day time and many times on the
week-end especially on Sunday's after six o'clock we have had bull dozers
and road raiders. Two Sunday's ago, the road raider had our condo vibrating
it was making such a noise and that is after six o'clock on a Sunday evening.
We understand that they are trying to put a recreational area in there but I do
not know if they have a permit or not? But they have numerous vehicles in
there. It has taken all the grass and seed and everything out of there. They
have started putting a sprinkler system in and they have some electrical work
going on it there. We are concerned that they do not have a permit them
someone should get into £mding out why they do not have a permit. If they
are not suppose to be using vehicles down to the dock and then they are
breaking the laws. Because the vehicles are back and forth at all times. The
dirt and the dust are all over our area there. We are just one area of concern.
One of the gentlemen with me tonight who is living at Cleaves Point would
like to talk to you Ernie Jocken and discuss with you the rain and the water
that may roll over into our property and flood us out.
ERNIE JOCKEN: What I have observed as a resident there. Is that on a
Sunday, a gentlemen came in and dumped approximately 20 yards from a 12
yard dump track full of dirt. The dirt is generated from the houses are being
built up the road in the development. He has raised the elevation. I have not
taken the time to figure out how much over the grade that he has raised it. But
he has raised it to a point where he is now the highest point of land between
two residences us at the Condo and the Beach houses, which are also here
tonight to speak. To make a complaint about this, my other concern is that
14
isn't there an ordinance in the Town, regarding running machinery on a
Sunday, and not during normal working hours.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I do not believe so.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: No.
ERNIE JOCKAN: So you are telling me that he can work on this lot day and
night.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: He can work on this lot if he has the permits for the
work. Which he does not which is why he received one of these. Which is
why he is here in front ofus.
ERNIE JOCKAN": Nowhere along there is there any fencing whatsoever, I
think that the fencing will look somewhat out of line. I prefer to see a (cannot
understand)
NEIGHBOR: Excuse me, it say§ existing fencing and sprinkler system non
of them are existing.
ERNIE JOCKAN: In all fairness to him, there is a sprinkler system there
which he filled up in this excavation which he tried to do with regrading the
property on it. $0 the sprinkler system was there and it did function at one
time a couple of years ago. With regard to the electrical wires go?. He once
again went in there with a back hoe and he did do some miscellaneous
grading. I am electrical contractor out of New York City, and I was a little
concerned because there are young children in the area that reside there.
Someone goes along and grabs a wire and that is not the best thing to happen.
He has since buried the wire. I do not know if it has been inspected or
anything like that. So those are my concerus.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. We will let everyone speak. As a Board
we visited the site last Wednesday, go ahead if anyone else has another
comments.
TOM KRAUS: My name is Tom Kraus, I am here as a resident and
representative of Crescent Beach Condominium Association. If you have
been to the site fine. I have pictures here that we tried to take to show the
scale of the increase in grade and just in terms of brief history about ten years
ago. The applicant built a 4 foot stone wall across the entire length of his
property that is adjacent to us. Then graded on top of that. Now he is
proposing to regrade higher on top ofregrade. First time he did it, caused
such flooding in our condominiums. That we had to spend initially
approximately $35,000.00 and since then thousands of dollars every year
maintaining an area that acts to promote water run-off and drainage. We have
a tremendous fear, that this type of thing has the potential of happening again.
The applicant has shown in the past no regard for his negligence So we have
to look to the Trustees and to other Town officials. My understanding is that
the DEC is preparing to send a representative out to look at the area to.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: May I see that picture.
TOM KRAUS: This has happened before and it will happen again.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: May I see the pictures. Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there any other comment?
1¸5
TOM KRUAS: Just to get an idea, again to the'relative grades of the
property. That is the aerial photograph that was taken. The applicant has
made himselt~the highest point along that property line. We have no desire to
interfere with appropriate activities.to maintain and. beautify the property. But
based on the history that we have with .this applicant. We are asking if the
Board has the power to set specific guidelines to try to negotiate the rash of
the run-off. You know that it going to happen. The current level that he has
done and I do not mean from the past. I just mean the new stuff that he has
done in the area where he does not have the wall. By the way the property
slopes from north to south, so your comment before as to things that are in
your jurisdiction become in your jurisdiction guarantee that is going to
happen.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. That is what we saw. Go ahead.
TOM KRAUS: Can I leave this letter to the Board.
NEIGHBOR; I would just like to add that in the original application it does
not mention a fine. Certainly not in the notification that the Cresent Beach
Condom/mums got. There is no notification at all. (cannot understand) It is
not playing fair.
TOM KRAUS: Is this a permanent application for putting a fence in.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: No not anymore. Not unless it is the jurisdiction of the
wetlands.
TOM KRAUS: There is no fencing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It says 758feet of chain link fence six feet high.
TOM KRAUS: Take a look at the photo.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We were there.
NEIGHBOR: Excuse me, what about all this traffic, which is going to the
dock. I understand the gentlemen built the dock without a permit. He built
that wall without a permit. He does everything without asking you Town
people on the Board. If he can do this. Is he going to get away with this to.
He just wants to do what he wants to do. Once it is done it just stays there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We hope not.
NEIGHBOR: I know that when we wanted our dock extended. We went
through quite a bit of problems and once your finally approved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Bear in mind our jurisdiction only extends only 100
feet back from the high water mark. When we took a look at the site we
agreed as a Board that the fill should be removed from that 100 feet and that
any water on the site should be contained on the site.
NEIGHBOR: Well it is running offnow,. I just came in from the City, and
the first thing I did was went out and looked at this. Water is running'off now
with mud with the water. So that is going to come down now and we all
ready have enough with water. What about him planting those tree. Is he
allowed to plant those trees? Which are non-conforming trees for the area.
He plants trees all over the place. I think he planted them to spite the people
to take their Water view away.
16
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We usually do not require landscaping plans in areas
like this. Most of the trees that are shown on here are out of our jurisdiction,.
We are 100 feet from high water.
NEIIGHBOR: Can the DEC, you interact with the DEC. Can the DEC
contact the Town Trustees or should had this been run as a separate
investigation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Occasionally, we do act together, but we are two
separate completely separate entities. I am sure that they are going to look at
it in the same light that we are. That we should not see any run-offs coming
offthe property. So their jurisdiction is 300 feet, but they are going to have
much greater impact on the property. Or the ten foot elevation.
NEIGHBOR: What recourse do we have, How do we stop him from working
on the weekend and doing these illegal actions. Who do we contact? Because
this is when the activities take place.
TRUSTEE KING: Police Department.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: If he is in within 100 feet of the Wetlands you call
Marine One, the bay constables.
TOM KRAUS; By the time the Bay Constable gets there. The dirt is done and
the work is completed and the tractor is a half a mile away from the working
area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Weare going to require him to remove the fill and
regrade. So it does not affect all the mn-off contained on the site and also to
replant that area with beach grass. It is going to be a non-turf area. It is going
to be big buffer area between his up-land property and the bay.
NEIGHBOR: The other question how much material are you going to require
to remove that? How are we come up with the material he is going to remove.
TRUSTEE SMITH: They are going to match the existing grades on either
side.
TOM KRAUS: That is going to be a tough match that grade has been pooled
with the neighboring problems are more natural than there, than ours was/.
At the time of the construction of Cleaves Point. It looked like they elevated
the grade if you look at our whole overall property.
TRUSTEE SMTIH: That wall belongs to Cleaves Point?.
TOM KRAUS: No it all belongs to Gusmar Realty.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Are you on the high side of that wall.
TOM KRAUS: We are on the low side of the wall,
NEIGHBOR: We get all the run-off of the water. We also are going to have a
lot of problems with mosquitos. Those things to worry about with the
sickness that they cause. Who is going to establish this finished elevation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: He will have to come up with a plan. We will have to
review it in the field.
NEIGHBOR: I am assuming that survey will generate with elevation and we
then can come back and review it at that point. To see what the elevation will
be.
17
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All he submitted here is (tape change) we will work
with the DEC on this and I am sure what we prescribe will be consist with
what they want.
NEIGHBOR: Thank you very much, thank you for your time.

1205 Pt. Pleasant Road, Cutchogue, NY SCTM#114-01-04
TRUSTEE KING: This is in Mattituck. This is off Old Pike in Mattituck.
Is there anyone here to speak o behalf of this application?
SCOTT DOBRINGER: My name is Scott Dobringer I am with Inter-Science
Research Associates, Inc. I am the agent for the applicant, I am a
environmental planner and architect. I have an affidavit of posting, I do not
know if you require that I submit this right now. I also have a letter of DEC
non-jurisdiction I would like to enter for the record. I do not really have any
thing to say that I have not said in the apphcation. It is a conforming
application and I am here to answer any questions. Or listen to any other
comments?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Any other comments on this application?
TRUSTEE KING: I had a question. A lot of the trees had little pink dots on
them, what does that indicate.
SCOTT DOBRINGER: Are those trees seaward of the 75 foot boundary that
we are not going to.
TRUSTEE KING: They are just off the edge of the bluff. Top ofbluffthere
are little flags along did you put them there.
SCOTT DOBRINGER: I have not seen them in the last week.
TRUSTEE KING: There is a row of flags right along the top of bluff.
SCOTT DOBRINGER: If they are right along the top of the bluff nothing is
going to happen to them. We are not going to disturb anything seaward of the
75 foot boundary as shown on that drawing. Nothing, no grading no clearing.
We are going to set up a project limiting fence and stake hay bales right at that
boundary and they will remain in place throughout the entire construction.
TRUSTEE KING: You establish that at the top of the blnffthat was my
question?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It looks like it is pretty much at the top.
TRUSTEE KING: That was my only concem. Where are they going to
move the little tower.
SCOTT DOBRINGER: We are going to relocate it. It actually really a cool
house for birds. We checked into and we are going to keep as use it a
sedamenty.
TRUSTEE SMITH: The septic system is that Board Health.
SCOTT DOBRINGER: The sanitary system, the only thing that is keeping
Health Department for approving it. Is that they want your approval first.
18
I have noticed here on the file if you would like to see it.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Is it a four bedroom house?
SCOTT DOBRINGER: I think it is four bedrooms including the bedrooms in
the guest house. It says it on the site plan.
TRUSTEE KING: Probably in the furore we will be looking at a dock
application here.
SCOTT DOBRINGER: The dock is in pretty good shape. The pilings are in
good shape. The only thing that might be replacing is the decking.
TRUSTEE KING: I will make a Motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMTIH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KING: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KING: I will make a Motion to Approve the application of Inter-

construct a new residence with accessory structures, install new sanitary

wetland Boundary. Haybales around the top of the bluff during construction.
TRUSTEE'KRUPSKI: I think that you did say construction fence around the
edge of the project during construction. We would rather see a staked hay
bale at the 75 foot mark. Instead of construction fence.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KING: All in favor. ALL AYES
SCOTT DOBRINGER: Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Artie can you take the next one.
12. Proper-TServices, Inc. on behalf of JOANNE MCSHERRY
Request a Wetland Permit to remove and replace, in kind/in place 173 linear
feet of bulkhead, 95 linear ft. of 4' wide walkway 4'x6' stair landing, 4x7
stairs to grade. Located: 660 Bayberry Road, Cutchogue, NY SCTM#118-1-
13.1
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Anyone like to speak in behalf of this application?
JIM FITZGERALD: It is my understanding that the Board approved this
permit at the last meeting.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: One of the neighbors had a problem.
CHARLOTTE CUNNINGHAM: That there was no notification. Then she
wrote a letter and said there was. So it should be all right.
JIM FITZGERALD: I know what the story is.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Does it need reapproval. We approved it at the last
meeting.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I am obstaining.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: So what do you want to do make a motion based on the
correspondence received fi:om the neighbor that the approval stands. I do not
remember this in particular is it in the miniutes.
19
CHARLOTTE CUNNINGHAM: There are the minutes. We typed the
minutes to show what was said. That it was approved and then the problem
come to us next day, that this neighbor claimed.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Maybe Mr. Fitzgerald can explain the problem?
JIM FiTZGERALD: The owner of the property next to McSherry, the
previous owner of the property next to McSherry when the bulkhead was
installed to construct a return. Which is on the adjacent property owner's
land. The property was sold to these people and they do not care to have any
activity going on. On there prope~¢. However that was never any part of the.
application. The only work that is going to be done under the permit which
was issued is the bulkhead which is on the McSherry property. The return on
the adjacent property is not going to be touched. It is my understanding that
the Board received several letters from both the property owners and their
attorneys. First indicating that they were very upset that they did not get the
notification on the heating. They were against it or rather they wanted an
opportunity to speak. Then that was followed within a day or so with a letter
from the attorney saying that they had no objection to its contends. That is
what I know is where it stands now.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: We have not received anything else on it. Henry-
TRUSTEE SMITH: I was absent from the meeting- Kenny
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: No, just as it is vinyl plastic on the bulkhead.
Vinyl/plastic sheathing on the bulkhead.
JIM FOTZGERA;D" It will be vinyl.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Make a Motion to leave it as previously approved with
vinyl bulkheading.. Being that the neighbor was notified. I will make a
Motion to do that.
TRUSTEE POLlWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALL AYES
JIM FITZGE ~RALD: In my opinion this problem points out the system for
notification by mail by adjacent property owners is inadequate especially
when the mailing was to Garden City which in 100 years has the worst post
office on Long Island. These people did not get the notice and the post master
agreed because he wrote a letter until tow days after the heating. It was
mailed in accordance with the Chapter 58 of the code. It really is not enough
time. I have always felt that with the posting of sign and the publication in the
paper and the mailings to adjacent property owners was a little over kill. But
what do I know?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Was it over kill or is it inadequate.
JIM FITZGERALD: It is especially inadequate when it happens to be three
things taken together are over kill. I do not think we should have to do all
three.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: How do you get verification that neighbors were
notified if you do not use the mail system.
JIM FITZGERALD: I am not saying that you should not notify them by mail.
I am saying we should not notify by mail, and post a notice on the property
and publish it in the newspapers. Maybejust do it by mail. Mail and the
20
newspaper whatever. If we are serious about it probably the one-week in
advance, is not enough time. If the p.eople live in Virginia, North Carolina.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is the problem with extending it past the week
and we did set the system up. But I think the problem with expanding it time
wise is that then you are going into next month. Then you get enlongitate the
permit process.
TRUSTEE SM1TH: If you do not post the property. We will have hard time
finding it on inspection. That is the only way we absolutely positively know
we are the right place when we see the posting.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: New numbers you know, they de not have a house
number, you do not have a mailbox number many times you cannot find these
places. So we need to back up here and get a motion to close the heating. I
have to close the heating.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALL' AYES
I make a Motion to Approve the application of JEANNE McSHEERY for a
Wetland Permit to replace in kind/in place 173 linear ft. of bulkhead, 95
linear ft of 4' wide walkway, 4'x6' stair landing, and 4'x7' stairs to grade.
Located: 660 Bayberry Road, Cutchogue with the stipulation that the
sheathing be plastic or vinyl.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALL AYES
13. Proper-TServices on behalf of DEBORAH PENNEY request a Wetland
Permit to remove and replace in the same location 86' +/- of existing retaining
wall, remove and replace in the same location 93 +/- of existing decking
between the bulkhead and the retaining wall. Remove and fill material that
enters the waterway and replace it behind the bulkhead or retaining wall. Fill
as necessary behind the bulkhead and retaining wall to maintain established
grades using an estimated 20 cy of spoil from and associated separately
permitted dredging activity. Located: 160 Sailor's Needle Road, Mattituck
SCTM#144-5-26
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Anyone to speak on behalf of this application?
JIM FITZGERALD: Yes, the description, which you read is inaccurate, it
should remove and replace in the same location 93 ft of existing bulkhead and
726 sq. ft. of decking between the bulkhead and the retaining wall. Eight or
ten words left out.
TRUSTE FOSTER: I looked at this. This is part of the Salt Lake Village
maybe not pan of that application but it all part of that same in kind/in place
thing. So any other questions?
JIM FITZGERALD: The next two are all together with the amendment
earlier. They are all essential the same thing. Of different pans of that boat
basin.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Any Board comments? Make a Motion to close the
heating.
21
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: So moved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Are we going to go for a buffer area here?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I will do that. Seconded. Anybody seconded it?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALL AYES.
I will make a Motion to Approve the application for DEBORAH PENNEY as
previously read with the corrections noted by Jim with a stipulation that a ten
foot non-turf buffer is put in place from the bulkhead landward.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALLAYES
14. Proper-TServices on behalf of EDWARD & FAYE REYNOLDS request a
Wetland Permit to remove and replace in the same location 101' +/- of
existing retaining wall, remove and replace in the same location 70 +/- sq. ft.
of existing decking between the bulkhead and the retaining wall. Remove any
fill material that enters the waterway and replace it behind the bulkhead or
retmning wall.. Fill as necessary behind the bulkhead and retaining wall to
maintain established grades using an estimated 20 ey of spoil from an
associated separately permitted dredging activity. Install 6'x20' floating
dock, secured by two piles, and 4'x16' access ramp. Install wood jetty 12'
seaward and 6' landward of existing jetty at eastern end of project. Located:
855 Old Salt Road, Mattituck, NY SCTM#144-5-16
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Anyone to speak on behalf of this application.
JIM FITSGERALD: Yes, it is me again. There is the remains of an ancient
jetty at that same location and the Reynolds folks say that when it was
functioning properly they had much less problems with sand collecting in the
boat basin and that they would like to put it back.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Also the matter of the float?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: That float was an existing float or something new?
JIM FITZGERALD: That float is a whole new idea.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: As part of this application.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: There was a problem with the float -Artie see the
location of the float. It is 36 feet out. I think that is going to affect
navigation. If you put it on the scale on the Robert Fox survey. It sticks out
36 feet I have a 100 feet across the entire waterway. That is more than a 1/3~d
across. In addition to that it also, because of the dock across the way. It really
going to affect the waterway because the dock across the way is strict
navigation.
JIM FITZGERALD: There existing two and three pile dolphins here that is
the scare. The float as shown in the sketch is in between those, and it extends
two or three feet beyond that wall., If that is not acceptable I am sure that if it
came out as far as the existing dolphins. They would be satisfied.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: This is not going to be shoal area after all this is
dredged out Why don't they just parallel here and put the boat fight next to
it.
JIM FITZGERALD: These dolphins are here already.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is not an navigational space currently. Take a
look at where the dolphins are?
JIM FITZGERALD: There are two three pile dolphins one here and one here.
The float that we are proposing is in between them and it extends several feet
beyond the line of the dolphin.
TRUSTE FOSTER: It will put you out more than a third.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I do not think that it is necessary. You are going to
have deep water next to.
JIM FITZGERALD: Mavbe if I could answer the question.
MRS. REYNOLDS: I questioned that with Tom Sanuels because I thought it
should be more even with our dolphins. Rather than sticking out. Or put it on
an angle. The two little boats.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You got all this room here. You can put one behind the
other. This is all going to be navigable water. Once it is dredged out. If you
put the two boats parallel to each other or put the float parallel.
MRS. REYNOLDS: Tom Samuels originally thought that it should be
parallel to the bulkhead but then my son thought he could not get his boat,
boat close in there. That is fine, I do not care, it does not matter to me.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: That is probably all you are going to get.
TRUSTEE SMITH: How big are the boats? Twenty Feet.
MRS. REYNOLDS: Yes, I do not know.
JIM FITZGERALD: The dolphins are there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But they are not in navigable water.
JIM FITZGERALD: No body is going to go inside the dolphins and that is
where the float would be.
TRUSTEE SMTIH: As long as it does not go past the dolphins.
MRS. REYNOLDS: Could we have it parallel with.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I misunderstood. The boat is not going to be out here
The 13oat is going to be one on one side and one on the other and the float
extend only until the end of dolphins. That is what we are doing.
TRUSTEE tCRUPSKI: So it will stick out perpendicular.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Any other comments?
TRUSTEE KPcUPSKI: All we need is a new sketch.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Do I have a Motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I make a Motion to Approve the application of
EDWARD & FAYE REYNOLDS for a Wetland Permit to replace the
bulkhead and to install the float. Providing the boats are placed on either side
and the float does not protrude further than the existing tie offholes. We need
a new sketch, showing that and a 10 foot non-turf buffer where all the
bulkhead is replaeed.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALL AYES.

15. Proper-T Services on behalf of HELEN BICKING request a Wetland Permit
to remove and replace in the same location 25' +/- of existing retaining wall,
remove and replace in the same location, 25 +/- of existing bulkhead, remove
and replace to the same location 260 +/- sq. ft. of existing docking between
the bulkhead and the retaining wall. Remove any fill that enters the waterway
and replace it behind the bulkhead or retaining wall. Fill as necessary behind
the bulkhead and retaining wall to maintain established grades using an
estimated 5 cy of spoil fi:om an associated separately permitted dredge
activity. Located: 525 Old Salt Road, Mattituck NY SCTM#1144-5-17
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Anyone to speak on behalf'of this applicant?
JIM FITZGERALD: Maybe you can explain the function of the ten foot
non-turf buffer.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: In some locations of course where there is more area,
We require a larger non-turf buffer and as people use turf grass. They fertile
it, they apply things to make it go. When it rains all these items wash directly
into the Creek. A buffer between the turf and the creek provide buffer for
things that are not applied, Even if it is nutrients it will be floating somewhat
before they reach the Creek. So we only require this on bulkhead replacement
with area that is going to describe anyway. These areas are going to be all
dug up and turned up. When you put a lawn back imp. Some people put sand
some people put directive gravel, native' vegetation that flowers and looks
nice. So you have any obis ion. In th/s locating you probably go with some
sort of a consist pattern, but who knows.
NEIGHBOR: So you can have plants.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: As long as it is a non-turf buffer.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Any other Comments?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You want to close the hearing Artie.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I will make a Motion to close the heating.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTE POL1WODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER All in favor. ALL AYES.
I will make a Motion to Approve the application of HELEN BICKING to
remove and replace 25 feet of existing retaining wall, 525 Old Salt Road,
Mattituck with the stipulation that there be a 10 foot non-turf buffer and I
assume also is suppose to be plastic or vinyl sheathing.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: All in favor. ALL AYES.

19. Catherine Mesiano, Inc. on behalf of ROBERT BOGER request a Wetland
Permit to dredge approx. 25 cy of shoaled material l~om seaward side of
existing float to achieve -2.5 ALW and 1:3 float (presently float is resting on
bottom) install 3'x35' gabion wall ~ westerly end of bank. Dredge spoil to
be placed landward of gabion. Located: 455 Willow Point Road, Southold,
NY SCTM#56-5-27
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would anyone like to speak in favor of the
application?
CATHERINE MESIANO: Catherine Messianic on behalf of the applicant.
As stated in the application, Mr. Boger would like to do a little dredging at his
property to get his float off the bottom. He has an erosion problem, which is
necessity the desire of the gabion wall support of that area that is most
eroded and I think the application speaks for itself. There is just one thing that
I would like to clarify in the application the dredging was to be seaward of the
float when in fact it is beneath the entire float. We are going to increase the
depth under the float and then use the spoil behind the gabion. I just wanted to
clarify that with you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The only concern that I thought of was that there not
be turf above the wall there.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I think that I did notice some planting in that area.
He has been confused about mulch landward of that area. Where the gabion
is. What would you like to see the mulch extended in that direction?
Plantings - non-turf.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: He needs access to the float. Put down gravel.
CATHERINE MESIANO: So you want some type of a walkway.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Non-turf.
CATHERINE MESIANO: I will have the plan to show that.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: Is this dredging going to consist of (cannot
understand).
CATHERINE MESIANO: It is as shown, it is just to get this float - floating.
At the site inspection, we discussed some planting seaward of that gabion.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: It was not going to be much as I saw actually it
basically under the float. A little bit in fi:ont of the float.
25
CATHERINE MESIANO: This is a dump canal, It is a man-made canal. I
believe the part of the reason that we need that expansion is that we are able to
maintain the property slope.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: He is only using one quarter of the marsh.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Actually there is not any vegetation at all right here
where the float is.
CATHERINE MESIANO: ' There is no vegetation because that area is what is
eroding and filling in under the float. We propose to plant some vegetation
some sea grasses in that area to stabilize the area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You come in front of the gabion to put in Spartina
Alterflora. Are there any other comment?. Do I have a motion to close the
hearing.
TRUSTEE KING: So moved.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
I will make a Motion to Approve the application with the condition that the
proposed dredged spoil area be non-turf. Whether it be plantings or gravel
and that the area between the gabion and the dredging be planted with spartina
alter-flora 18" on center to stabilize the existing bank.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.

Strotson Road, Cutchogue, NY SCTM#103-10-20
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone like to speak in favor of this application?
CATHERINE MESIANO: Catherine Mesiano on behalf of the applicant we
had put in staking to illustrate where the proposed dock was to be placed per
our last discussion and based on the site inspection and at your request we are
moving the proposed dock to the westerly side of the property and building, a
3'x95' fixed timber walk with steps down to grade no float as per.your
recommendations (tape change)
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: A foot above grade, with hand dug not set in poles no
larger in diameter than 6 inches.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
21. Catherine Mesiano, Inc. on behalf of MICHAEL PISCANO request a
Wetland Permit to construct a single-family dwelling, private well, on site
sewage, disposal.system and pervious driveway. Located: 2350 West Mill
Creek Drive, Greenport, NY SCTM#51-6-4
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would anyone like to speak in favor of the
application?
CATHERINE MESIANO: Catherine Mesiano on behalf of the applicant.
Mr. Piscano took your comments on the site inspection under advisement and
he would need more time to do more into future investigation on the property.
26
Have some engineering studies done and .he would like to see how the Health
Department reacts to this application before he decides whether or not to
move forward with it. Or withdraw the application. So I would appreciate
your comments for the record. We would like to leave the hearing opened.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Are there any other comment?
WILLIAM DOUGLAS: I am the adjacent property owner, my name is
William Douglas. The only thing that I wanted to ask you is about that
pervious driveway - what is that?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Not paved.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: It is pervious it does allow percolation.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS: No matter what they do. They are going to have to
gradethat. All the heights are 11 or 12 feet onmyside. If anybody visited
the site you can see the erosion. All that waters runs down on my property.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: We did not get back in there it is so heavily vegetated.
It is so heavily vegetated we really could not walk back in there.
AL SCHWARTZ: I have a comment to make, my name is A1 Schwartz I am
right across the street from Mr. Becker. If you want to see the erosion all you
have to do is go down just past the guard rail and just look at the complete
erosion that is coming down. If you have more water coming down. It is just
going to wash everything away. That whole area is eroding. If you look on
my side because I am right across the street from Mr. Douglas. The whole
area is just eroding away. What is going to happen to the little springs, the
natural springs that we have. We have a natural fresh water spring there.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: We actually tried to discourage the applicant from
moving forWard.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: For the record this is just one in a series of very small
limited valued lots that are coming across because.every small lot that was not
built on for a reason someone is trying to squeeze a house on it. Because
there is more and more interest in these little lots that are undeveloped. Se we
did not encourage. We meet the applicant on the site last week - we did not
encourage him to pursue this. That is our stand on it now.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS: What is my recourse, if it is approved.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You will be notified long before that happens.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We are no near approving this.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS: I understand that I am just wondering where I get the
big guns (cannot understand) Thank you very much.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Any run-offthat would be created by a driveway
would of course be expected to be contained by the person who is developing
the lot. I tlxink that serious consideration has to be what happens to run-off.
If you are cleating rm-off. It is your obligation to contain the run-off and not
allow it to run through other neighbor's property into a wetland area. Or out
into the town's fight away and that is for roof run-off, driveway run-off and
we try to consider that.
AL SCHWARTZ: Where are you going to start that road?. It is all wetlands
you are right on the wetlands. Have you seen the area.
27
CATHERINE MESIANO: We have been there. What we proposed is out side
of the flag area. The only place to access the property.
AL SCHWARTZ: The problem with that, is the turn around place. There is
nothing there you are right up against the barrio. If the town would extend the
road then it might be a possibility. Still you are on the wetland.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Granted that there is a development problem with
the site. My client is pursuing his obis ions.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Why don't you buy it? And then you would not have to
worry about it.
WILLIAM DOUGHLAS: Oh no. What is the asking price?.
CATHERINE MESIANO: We will have to step outside.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS: Twenty five cents over a dollar is too much.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We had an application that was similar to this. Where
it was a marginal lot as far as building on it. The adjacent owner contacted
and the sale was made no permits were issued on the lot. Adjacent owner
bought the property and that was the end of it. So this happens some time.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You can expand your estate.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I will make a Motion to Table the application.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
CATHERINE MESIANO: Thank you..

system proposed be more than 130 feet from the wetland boundary, plea
approximately 850 cubic yards of sand fill, establish a 50' non-
disturbance/non fertilization, buffer adjacent to the tidal wetland boundaries.
Connect to publis water and other utilities. Located: 9326 Main Bay view
Road, Southold SCTM#87-5-25
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone who would like to speak in favor of
this application.
ROB HERRMANN: Rob Hen-mann of En-Consultants on behalf of the
applicant, Lisa Edson. First thing that I would like to note that the project
description for the most part is incorrect. I had submitted a letter to Al's
attention May 1st. where I submitted the most correct project description that
should have been which I will read that now into the record: "Construct on
28
pilings a two-story, one family dwelling, deck and swimming pool, install a
pervious driveway and sanitary system with concrete retaining wall, place
approximately 450 cubic yards of fill, install drywells, establish a 50' non-
disturbance non-fertilization buffer adjacent to the tidal wetlands, and connect
to public water and other utilizes, all as depicted on the site plan prepared by
Joseph Ingegno, L.S. last dated 23 April 2001. This is an application as the
Board knows has been long running. We have just had an opportunity to look
at it several times. I will quickly bring the Board up to speed as to how we
have moved toward this site plan today, which I think desires a minute or so to
do. Giving this has been originally applied for and tabled since October of
1999, Were the Board may recall originally having some trouble having the
property staked for your inspection. In July of 2000 almost a year ago we had
been here before the Board and the Board had expressed concerns that
additional wetlands area on the Bissell parcel adjacent had not been shown
and the project was tabled. I had then met with the Board and Chris Arfstan
andNY State Department of Environmental Conservation on site. Where
Chris and I had flagged the additional wetland on the neighboring parcel.
Indicated to you that a new site plan would then be prepared accordingly.
The board seemed happy with that. Then on JanuarTy 2~th, 2001 the hearing
was scheduled to go forward but I had been contacted by Chris Arfstan of the
DEC to indicated that the septic system as proposed was problematic for two
reason s. One from a regulator stand point, it would be less than 100 feet from
the finger like extension of the wetlands on the Kirsch property to the north
and that we had apparently also shown the septic system in the fight of way.
That is benefited by owners to the north. When I had appeared before the
Board. I do not recall whether that Ms. Kirsch had notified you verbally or in
writing of the same problems that I have indicated to you at that time we
would try to remedy the site plans. Once again. So this final site plan was
prepared that is in :front of you. The one that is dated, April 23,2001 and it
was forwarded to your attention on May 1st, and a copy of that letter along
with the site plan was sent by Certified Mail to all four neighboring owners
and we did receive the return receipt card indicating that they had all been
noticed. The plan that is in front of you now basically shows the shift in
some significant factors that the Board has looked at. First of all the sanitary
system is now located 100 feet from all title wetland boundaries. As typically
required by this Board and as required by New York State law. The buffer
area has been increased l~om 30 feet to 50 feet as per the request of both
agencies. All structures now either meet or exceed the 75-foot setback from
all title wetlands botmdaries. The amount of fill has been reduced from 850
to450 cubic yards. The septic system has been located out of the right of way.
The twenty foot right of way that covers the property. In order to
accommodate the most recent request the over all square footage of the
proposed development was decreased by about 15% to reduce the total
coverage of the adjacent area of the lot from about 8% to less than 7%. In
summation the plan that is in front of the Board now meets all of your
standards of Chapter 97 of the Town Code. As well as the standards of the
29
Title Wetlands Land Use Regulations. New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation permit has been issued for the project and we
would ask the Board to de the same. As I now believe the plan does conform
with all of the concerns that the Board has described over th last year or so.
If you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We will take all comments first.
Are there any other comments on this application?
MARY KIRSCH~ One of the problems with the survey here is the absence it
include the twenty-foot fight of way. Which I own. As part of their front yard
and side yard so in effect. Since it does not have the property yardage there it
ends up taking the whole building package into the private wetlands. He does
not reach the required setback of 75 feet. The same as on the east side of the
right away. It is 130 feet east of house deck and septic system right on the
right of way. The fight away is twenty feet that you have to have a side yard.
I had to have a miuimum of 30 feet. My front yard had been 60 feet. He has
down here 60 feet but he is including again my right of way. The other thing
is the above ground septic is 16 feet by 6t3 feet that is bigger than my entire
basement, 40-foot octagon house that I am building right up above. The other
thing that I have concern about also. On my piece of property I have some
title wetlands the fifty-foot buffer is right adjacent to my title wetlands where
evidently you will be filling in and driving through. Witfi vehicles and so on.
I just wanted not to be affect because I am the owner of that I am not held
responsible for any kind of problems with the Trustees and etc. It really big
Hugh building package that does not fit into that small sensitive area.
SHELLEY GARCIA: I am, Shelley Garcia, I am building the house for
Mary. What I would like to know is how cans he with the right of way on the
east where the septic tank is. How a he build the septic right up to the
property line. The house to the property line. Sixty feet of deck and pool
which equals a sum of one hundred some odd feet. Right on the property line.
We had to go thirty feet. I would like to have someone explain to me and can
he do that. How can you put it right on the line.
ROB HERRMANN: I can answer all of the question s that were brought up.
First of all the question of the fight away. The fight of way is not owned by
Ms. Krrsch. The fight of way is part of the ownership of Lisa Edison's
property. Ms. Kirsch benefits from the use of the right a way. That is
included in Ms. Edison's deed. That is why the meets and bounds as depicted
on the survey are depicted as they are from monument to monument to
monument to monument. This right of way is not anomalous right way it is a
right away'as to any property for example. In the Town et Southampton you
own a property on the ocean and you provide the bay front owner with the
right away te access over your property. You have not sold part of your land
to that owner. You just granted them the right to access over your property.
So the concern here was that the sanitary system was going to be placed inside
the right of way and thus have no access. It has now been moved outside of
the right of way and meets a twenty foot set-back of the side yard property
30
line. Where the Edson property abuts to the Hamel property. That is a clear
cut dry issue. First of all it has. No bearing on this addition was an error
MARY KIRSCH: Are you n3t supposed to have a fifty foot front yard?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What about the regular zoning setbacks.
ROB HERRMANN: There is a sixty-foot set back to the proposed house.
It is not a set back from a right a way. It is set back from your front yard
property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is this the fact here that you can use the right away in
the set back.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: No.
ROB HERRMANN: Your property line determines your set back. The fact
that some body has a right a way whether it is five feet or twenty-five feet.
Thirty-five feet is not reducing the area of your property.
TRUSTEE.FOSTER: Well it is not correct. You cannot include the right of
way in your set back. Unless you go to the ZBA they can give you the right to
do that and I had to do that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I would rather not deal with this until it gets finalized.
ROB HERRMANN: What I can tell you tonight is that the plan as is. If you
are saying is correct. Let me assume that it is correct. Then I am wrong.
Then Lisa Edison will be required to go to the zoning board; For a side yard
variance. This has nothing to do with this Board. In fact we would go to the
zoning board and explain to them the reason that we must appear before them.
Is because if we were going to meet a 60-foot front yard setback from that
property line. We would then be less than 75 feet less from the wetlands.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Unless that plan was changed to reflect a different
structure in a different project. So I think my point is that you do not really
have a project set in concrete here that you can just say that if we give
approval? They could say no and make it smaller.
ROB HERRMANN: With all do respect this house has been reduced and
changed over and over again for the past year and half.
MARY KIRSCH: I had to reduce my house and change my house.
ROB HERRMANN;: When I am speaking would you be kind en6ugh to let
me finish. This house has been reduced and reconfigured over and over again
to respond to the concerns of Ms. Kirsch. In all frankness Ms. Kirsch's house
was approved 50 feet from the nearest wetland. This house conforms to the
75 foot set back. Which traditionally been the structural set back required by
this Board.. Even if there is a problem with zoning. That is not a situation in
this town and in the Town of Southampton the other east end towns.
Applicants are routinely forced to go to the Zoning Board and obtain zoning
variance because they are forced into configurations where they are meeting a
wetland setback but cannot meet a zoning set back. That is not the concern of
this Board, whatsoever.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Sure it is.
ROB HERRMANN: I disagree
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You know what happens if we approve this and it just
happened to us on another app01ication last month. If we approve this as
31
drawn knowing that these condition exist. It goes to the Building Department
and then it gets thrown to the Zoning Board and they do not approve it this
way. We have already given you a permit to construct it and they tell you that
you have to move it and you move it. There is nothing in place to make you
come back to us.
ROB HERRMANN: Absolutely not tree, we could not possibly view that
without your permission. If you issue a permit with this Site plan we then can
not go down and stick the house just for separation sake. We cannot then say
put the house five feet from the wetlands.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: We just permitted a house to be built. The Health
Department relocated the septic system and makes them submit a new survey
with the septic system in a different location. It never came back to us.
ROB HERRMANN: Well then they violated your code. \
TRUSTEE FOSTER: We found out about it through the neighbors who came
in complaining about something. It was not installed se we were able to
rectify it.
ROB HERRMANN: That is not an anomalous situation, Arfie, we go through
this all the time where we have to go back to agencies for amendment.
Whether it is you or the DEC and if you were to meet a 60~foot set back.
From that front yard property line. There would be virtually no room left for
any house. I think the important thing is to meet the set back from the
wetland and not the property line which frankly will not affect anybody.
Whether this is sixty feet. Or forty feet it is behind the entire area of wetlands
phragmites, and buffer area and probably would not be seen.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: This is not a personal thing because I do not know
who is going to live here. If have to design the project to fix the constraints of
the project. You have 110-foot house, and you have a swimming pool next to
it. So why do you have something designed that are going to meet all the
setbacks.
ROB HERRMANN: Because that is impossible Al. If you look at what you
are saying in vague terms and sounds good on the surface,. But what you are
looking at what you are saying. If you elimated the pool and eliminated the
deck. That is absolutely nothing to do with the sixty foot set back from the
front yard. If you are going to shift that sixty-foot set back down closer to the
water.. It is going to push any structure. No matter how big it is. It doesn't
matter whether it is a shed or a house. It is going to push it twenty feet closer
to all of.the wetlands and I would be absolutely, shocked if we moved the
house or anything closer to the wetlands verses going to the Zoning Boated
and getting a variance I think that they would approve with their eyes closed.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think that we are talking apples and oranges here.
One more question. From Bayview Road out to the parcel who owns that
rights a way.
MS. KIRSCH: I do.
ROB HERRMANN: This property was originally sub-divided by Lisa
Edson's father. He bought the property on Main Bayview Road. Lisa Edson
took the title from her father for this parcel. The right of way included in the
32
sub-division to provide utility easements and access from the road down
through these properties. In all directions including all the way down to
surface and across to the Bitzner property, those right of ways were included
for access. Because you have three parcels, that are lumped together side-by-
side two of whieh are land lock from the water by the Edson Parcel. So these
right-a ways have to be in place. Ms. Kirsch benefits right a way.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I am not talking about who benefits from it - who
owns it?
MARY KIRSCH: I own it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We need more information here. Four cubic yards of
fill.
ROB HERRMANN: For the sanitary system.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Strictly,
ROB HERRNS~qN: Yes
TRUSTEE KRUPKSI: There is no fill anywhere else on the property.
ROB HERRMANN: The house is going to be constructed on pilings that
conform to the elevation for the specific purpose of not bringing in fill for the'
house.
MARY KIRSCH: The septic system that is approximately 60'x40' along the
wall.
ROB HERRMANN: The sanitary system has been designed as it has been
designed because of shallow ground water. It has to be raised three feet above
ground water and you cannot grade offto the adjacent property unless you can
maintain. The retaining walls are as long as they are and there overall
circumference, because the retaining wall must be set back ten feet from the
cesspools. The Suffolk County Health Department requires the continuation
of the face rings. It they were two Mickey Mouse heads mirrored from each
other..This is all required by the Suffolk County Department of Health. This
system is not, trust me, Ms. Edson can not build any retaining wall but this
configuration and this design is what will be required by the Health
De?artment.
MARY KIRSCH: What about the side yard on the right of way there. You
are fight on the right of way property line.
ROB HERRMANN: There is no restriction against placing the retaining wall
against it.
MARY KIRSCH: I had to have thirty feet from the right away.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We are not going to get into that. We can not answer
those questions. Those questions are going to have to be answered by the
GBA.
ROB HERRMANN: The question will be answered by the Building
Department.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The access to the site has always been wild kingdom
with Henry driving down there. We are going to have to have the actual right
of way staked in relations to the wetlands that past through on the way to the
site on the right of way.
ROB HERRMANN: On the Kirsch property?
33
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That IS correct. Because if you are going to dig in
utilities you are going to have a driveway there. It is going to be well within.
ROB HERRMANN: You want us to stake the Kirsch property?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: The fight a way.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The right of way and the proposed driveway to access
the property.
ROB HERRMANN: Which runs over the Kirsch property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Correct.
ROB HERRMANN: Then you would need permission from Ms. Kirsch te do
that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Why would you need permission to do that. If it is a
right of way. You have the right of way over it. You do not need permission.
ROB HERRMANN: You just want the boundary of the fight of way..
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We need to see it staked so we can see it in relation to
the wetlands. Are there going to be any improvements on the road.. The road
becomes an ~ssue then because we do not want the road draining sentiment
into the wetlands.
ROB I-~RRMANN; My only question ~bout that Al, is that this is from Main
Bayview Road down to the north easterly comer of the Edson lot is the same
access route thus far that Ms. Kirsch uses. Would you not have covered that
in the prior application. That is where the driveway comes down through her
lot.
MS. KIRSCH: My driveway is up at the top.
ROB HERRMANN: That is completely different access.
TRUSTEE SMITH: There is a dirt road that is there. I do not know where
that dirt road is on her property or next door property. When you drive
through there all you see is sky and weeds.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So you have to stake it out so we know where the road
is going to be. Is there going to be any improvements on the right of way.
Are you going to change the grade. Are your going to add gravel. You going
to do any clearing these are factors that we have to know.
ROB HERRMANN: ! have no problem with that. What I want to know is
what questions you have with regard what questions do you want answered
with regard to the set back from the fight of way. I am only asking you that
because I can tell you right now that if we are given the answer that Artie is
telling me that I am going to be given. This plan would still be proposed the
same way because we must meet the wetlands set back.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Again we are talking apples and oranges, you are
saying that you are going to take this plan to the ZBA and get it approved.
Because you have to met the setback.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I do not believe you can use, ! had to go through that
with. I was nor allowed to use my fight of way as even part of my property
when I sub-divided it. They excluded that completely. It could not be used a
set back nor could it be included in my two acres as part of the two acre
zomng.
34
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: My vision is that they are going to say no and agree
with Artie just said. That the house has to be smaller to meet the set backs.
ROB HERRIvlANN: Do you realize right now the house is 36 feet wide. The
house would be I6 feet wide, if you met the sixty foot set back from that and
also meet the wetland setback.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I am not going to say the house is too big or too small.
I am just saying that in order to make the setback the house could be smaller.
MARY KIRSCH: I would have loved to build a big house. As well over
there But Ihad to confoim all these set backs and I am sorry
ROB HERRMANN: Ms. Kirsch's house does not conform to the wetlands
set back.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKh Let us move on, and we are going to table the
application. We are going to get more information. Could you please pursue
this .with the ZBA
ROB HERRMANN: If we get an answer from the building department as to
whether the front yard set back would be drawn from the property line or fi:om
the right of way.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I will make a motion to table and recess the public
hearing on Lisa Edson until next month.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.
24 En-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of CHARLOTTE DICKERSON request
a Wetland Permit to construct a +/- 138' timber retaining wall and 21' easterly
return, and backfill with approximately 300 cubic yards of clean sand to be
tracked in from an upland source and planted with Cape American Beach
Grass (12" on center). Westerly terminus of proposed structure will be into
face of adjacent steel retaining wall on west, and portions of existing 1-3 ton
stone toe armor fronting adjacent return will be relocated to armor proposed
return. Located: 630 Blue Horizon Bluff, Peconic, NY SCTM#74-1-35.51
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone would like to comment on the application?
ROB HERRMANN: Rob Herrmann of En-Consultants on behalf of the
applicant, Charlotte Dickerson, the projeca as proposed would entail the
construction of a timber retaining wall that would be tied into the adjacent
retaining walls. Obviously in view of that it requires three authorizations
from the adjacent property owners we have written Mr. Ginga to discuss the
possibility of view the space primilarily on the fact that when ~ese types of
projects come. Historically, this Board and basically in fashion of property
design look to avoid having gaps in between the structures and actually have
their faces tied together. I had spoken to a representative of Mr. Gingas who
had asked me to follow up with them and provide a little more information in
writing as to how they would benefit fi:om in fact fi:om caring out the plan as
proposed. I did that in a letter of April 30th but have not heard back but I did
advise the gentlemen I spoke with that there would be a hearing tonight and of
35
course they were notified in writing. Basically what we are proposing is to
extend the serried that exists to the west, In an easterly direction in other
words the return would be closed off from the Dina side and return with be an
armored - return would be constructed on the beach side of the Dickerson
parcel. That is it. I do not know if anyone is here this evening representing
Mr. Ginga but which way I would be interested in getting the Boards
comment on whether this would in fact be the design that you would prefer. If
we could authorization from Mr. Gina.
TRUSTEE KRUPKSI: Is there anyone else who would like to speak on
behalf of this application. Or against the application. First of all any kind of
structure, which we are not going to improve tonight. Could not start that far
seaward. You would have to start at the toe of the bluff.
ROB HERRMANN: The structure is proposed at the bluff toe.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: When we did a field inspection the bluff toe I think
would consider being at the end of the remm of the neighbor.
ROB HERRMANN: I was going by the survey ~that was prepared by John
Alers and inspected the sight myself and agreed where he was showing the
bluff settled, which is more or less in line it maybe a couple of feet back but I
would say that it is more or less in line with the face stretchers to the west.
That was my perception of it. I staked it and that was consistent with what
the survey showed.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Even from the photographs it shows the toe of the
bluff at the back of the neighbor's. It is pretty clear from the photographs
provided..
ROB HERRMANN: I could look at it again. [fit needs to be shifted landward
that is fine.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: ~he area itse[fis not a rapidly eroding space.
ROB HERRMANN: The bluff crescent is pretty badly scared and it is striped
of vegetation and it actually if you look at the survey. The bluff~crest has
actually gotten pretty Close to the dwelling that is up there. It is a matter of
feet from the bluff crest. They are certainly interested in making sure that
crest does not continue transgress landward. That house will be coming down
the bluff.
TRUSTEE KRUPSI: I think we would like to table this and maybe you can do
another inspection there and maybe consider alternatives to a straight
bulkhead there. Because it is not a situation that is actively coming down
from the toe. The bluff scarf is shear there. It might have to be cut back and
revegetated..
ROB HERRMANN: Maybe what we should do, plan to meet at the site
perhaps also with the contractor so we can explore basically the location of
the bluff toe and whatever b the Board may wish to consider. I think re-
grading certainly placing fill on planting along that area is certainly a
reasonable boson. I do not know how far landward you could cut and taper
the crest, because you would have to Because you would have to cut and
taper about pretty close to the foundation cottage. We can look at it at the site.
36
See if the contractor would be able to work in that area with equipment to see
if that can be graded. To a more natural angle proposed.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I will make a motion to table the application and
revisit the site on June 13th.
All in favor. ALL AYES
24. Eh-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of CItRISTINE HUNT requests a Wetland
Permit to remove and replace (in-place) existing 16' timber groin with 15' Iow
profile timber groin. Remove and replace in-kind/in-place approx. 83 linear
ft. of landward timber retaining wall and back fill with approx, 25 cy of clean
sand fill to be tracked in from an upland source and placed with beach grass,
rosa rugosa, and or other native species. Located: 5700 Vanstan Road,
Cutchogue, NY SCTM#11-10-13.1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is them anyone here would like to speak in favor of
the application.
ROB HERRMANN: Rob Herrmann on behalf of the applicant Christine
Hunt. The application is pretty straight forward it is consistent with an
application that was recently approved for Eileen Cashew to the south. What
I would add to that in the project description is the proposal mad I would
assume this Board would agree with it. Is that upon the inspection of the site
by the DEC it was their recommendations that the existing 22-foot groin
remain along the property. In fact not be removed. Ms. Hunt was agreeable
to that and indicated that she had directed to provide the plans accordingly and
resubmit then to the DEC and to your attention to that you would agree to that.
Or at least not have any objections to it. Basically that is a deteriorating groin,
which will benefit the Cashews But proper to remove it, which the DEC has
recommended, and she has agreed to that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What is the height.
ROB HERRMANN: It is currently if you look at the cross section it is
currently six feet, we are proposing to re-set to five feet to be consistently
with what was approved by Cashew. I just said those numbers wrong.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I am looking at it.
ROB HERRMANN: It is three now, and we are planning to decrease the
height to five feet from the top of the bulkhead.
TRUSTEE iKRUPSKI: I am looking at the plan, when you said it.
ROB HERRMANN: Lower it by two feet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Does anyone have a problem with this? Do' I have a
motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE KING; Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to approve the application as
amended?
ROB HERRMANN: I will give you the plans
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES

26 En-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of PATRICIA ASTARITA requests a
Wetland Permit to replace (within 18") approx. 76 linear ft of existing timber
bulkhead with vinyl bulkhead and replace (within' 18") approx. 24 linear ft. of
existing and backfill with approx. 45 cy of clean sand fill to be tracked in
from an upland source and planted with Cape American beach grass (12" on
center), Construct approx, 81 linear ft of vinyl retaining wall to extend from
existing wood tie wall and backfill with approx 60 cy of clean sand fill to be
trucked in from an upland source and planted with native species.
Reconstruct and reconfigure stairways and platform down bluff to beach and
beach cottage and buttress existing deck with (2) 10' pilings driven vertically
to beach. Located: 5655 Nassau Point Road, Cutchogue NY SCTM#111-13-
ROB HERRMANN: I am Rob Herrmann of En-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of
The applicant Patricia Astarita, in the event that you got a migrane looking
at the plans there is a lot going on here, but it is actually not very much in
change. What is proposed in essence is the replacement of the existing
bulkhead. Unfortunately, the bulkhead in the orderly part of the lot will be
simple raised for the use of beach project. There are going to be some
basically minor structural reconfiguration in the platform and stairs leading
down to the area behind the bulkhead. And to the beach in addition to the
replacement in kind/in place of the stairs that are exiting on the parcel..
Essentially what the Astarita would like to is to reconfigure the platform so
that they can walk down to an area immediately behind the bulkhead, which
would be a buffer area. The area would be basically be flattened out by the
backfill which would led to a landing and planted with beach grass. Then the
stairs would be constructed. In other words instead of stairs just shooting
from the bluff all the way to the beach. There would be a landing there
behind the bulkhead and the buffer area. The proposed pilings on the deck are
essentially to reinforce the deck that is there. We have an aerial photograph
from 1976 where this house actually had not been constructed but the beach
cottage and that deck had been. Right now, the supports for that deck are
basically cantilever beams. Which Mr. & Mrs. Astarita would like to shore up
basically in a safer manner as recommended by the contractor by driving
pilings straight down vertically into the beach as shown on the cross section of
the plans. The proposed retaining wall this is very common to the Board in
these areas.where there will be a flattened area behind the seaward bulkhead.
So what they would like to does provide secondary stabilization for that bluff,
reta'ming wall - landward of the bluff area. Basically that 12feet there
between the bulkhead and the retaining wall will be planted buffer and a
flattened area. If you have any questions with regard to any of the proposals
here I would be happy to answer them. But that is more or less the project as
shown.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: May we see the aerial photographs.
ROB HERRMANN: Yes, it is right there, the beach cottage and the deck.
There is no house at that time. You can see on the survey the neighbors have
decking and deck areas that actually come right up from the property line.
38
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: My only concem is the pilings on top of the beach.
Are they going to take all that other stuff out underneath clean the area up?
ROB HERRMANN: If he can put in the vertical pilings he would eliminate
the cantelever I cannot say that for fact I would have to ask. What he
probably would do at least may be replace them maybe just put one in firmly
cut them in half.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: My dilemma here is that two posts are not going and
the neighbors are sticking out with all that junk there.
ROB HERRMANN: Rampo is doing it, and I met with Chuck on site and I
am sure that he is going to do this in the cleanest. Al, The cross sections that I
showed will be planted with beach grass and it is not on the plan.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: De [ have a motion to approve the application?
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES.

JOHNCOSTELLO: Yes from the Trustee's and the DEC. It is a seasonal
dock and is taken out. It is within 18" the backside of the vinyl sheathing !
beheve is about 5-1/2 inches in front. We are going to remove the pilings in
front of the bulkhead so it stays up close to the existing.

TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Behind the bulkhead.
It looks like there is sand there now.
JOHNCOSTELLO: It is mostly sand there now, and we are just going to
leave it. Because we are going to be storing the dock on it again.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I have a second. All in favor. ALL AYES
29. Costello Marina Constructing Corp. on behalf of ROBERT STICKLE
request a Wetland Permit to construct a 4'x6' platform of existing bulkhead
with 32'x20' aluminum ramp leading to a 6'x20' float heading westerly
secured by two 2 pile dolphins. Located 415 Harbor Lights Drive, Southold,
NY SCTM#71-02-04
TRUSTEE POLIWODA; Anyone like to comment on this application?
JOHN COSTELLO: Again my name is John Costello and I am the agent for
the applicant. Do the Tmstee's have any questions on it? Again exactly a
duplicate of what was approved for John & Leslie Graham, just next door to
them last year. It does not protrude out into the waterway.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: Thank you; I looked at this site. Does the Board
have any other comment?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What is according to the pictures. That is directly into
the bulkhead. Washing into the canal.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: It did not appear to be washing over it. I was
looking at the neighbor's it looks like a 6 to 10 foot buffer.
JOHN COSTELLO: We are in the process of planting grass at the time.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: There is absolutely nothing there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: By the picture it looks like it is washing right over the
bulkhead.
JOHN COSTELLO: I did not see any of it washing over but I can tell you
what. The adjacent property one of his problems with the property is when
you have an outpour from the Town running right through his property line
easement right overboard and it has just been recently been replaced. Now
there is a pile of sand at the end of that out wall. You want a picture of it.
TRUSTE KRLIPSKI: I have seen it all over Town.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: It has not rained in a month. So I did not see it.
JOHN COSTELLO: But there is a pile of sand and the north shoal that is
significant is going right out there.
TRUSTEE POLIWDOAD: If there are no other comments? I will make a
motion to close the heating.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: All in favor. ALL AYES.
40
I will make a Motion to Approve the Wetland Permit on behalf of ROBERT
STICKLE to construct a 4'x6' platform a 32"x20" aluminum ramp leading to
a 6'x20' float - 2 pile dolphins with a ten foot non-turf buffer from the

30. Crowley Marina Construction on behalf of JOHN J. CASILLO request
a Wetland Permit to construct 50' low profile bulkhead and remove approx.
60 cy of material from 10'xS0' area in front of bulkhead to a depth of-6.0' at
ALW. Place dredge material onto barge using clam shell bucket and truck
material to approved upland site. Backfill behind new bulkhead using 20 CY
clean SAND FILL. Located: 360 Wiggins Lane, Greenport, NY SCTM#35-
4.28.33
TRUSTEE SMITH: Is there anyone here representing Mr. Casillo ?.
IAN CROWLEY: Ian Crowley on behalf of the applicant. If you have any
questions?
TRUSTEE SMITH: Does anyone have any comments?
The Board has any comments?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI; We actually like the idea on paper until we got there.
The purpose of the low profile so that you can plant establish a marsh
behind it and dredge in front to get your water depth.
IAN CROWLEY: Actually, the dredging doesn't reach the extent of the low
profile more focused on the float. It is an 80-foot area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What we have here shows the dredging right in front
of it and adjacent to the float. I do not think we had problem with the
dredging. The low profile bulkhead we do not have a problem with but it has
to be set between mean-high and mean-low waters, so it is flooded twice a
day. Planted with Spartina Alterniflora so that it is a marsh behind it. That is
the purpose of the low profile you can establish a marsh behind it. Dredge for
the water depth in front of it.
IAN CROWLEY: What is the purpose for a hemorrhage to stop for all the
sand going into the Creek.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well this will do it too.
IAN CROWLEY: You want it to necessary plant marsh grass.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That would be one of the conditions that is the way
we saw it. It looks like in fact. Even looking at the plans. They did not plant
anything but it looks like it has a little planting form.
IAM CROWLY: May I take a look again?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It looks like it is planted up with marsh grass.
IAN CROWLEY: I think that is to mark the fill area.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You know what I am saying. We have let other
people do that a low profile and have their marsh in the back and have their
water depth in the front and the marsh protects the property. Because the sand
cam~ot get through it. It holds the sand in place. Then you can dredge in front
of it and get your water depth. We do not allow this everywhere in town.
.41
This is a dredge canal we would allow you to de that. You would not have
sand washing into canal in front of you. You would have whatever water
depth you would need.
[AN CROWLEY: So approved with the condition that it be planted with
marsh grass.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI; Sparfina Alemflora behind.
lAN CROWLEY: Let me make a comment on this. That was a boat-
launching ramp originally. That was what they used to haul a boat up on
The only trouble is when you dredge. The channel was originally dredged
from 8-foot depth. You will see that ramp was scoffing off going out into the
creek. Sure they do not want to give up the boat ramp that is the reason trying
to stop that filling in.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You could actually keep the boat ramp. If you wanted
the boat ramp you use that gee-webbing. Plant it with marsh grass you can
still use the boat ramp put gravel in it and hold it in place. The grass will
stabilize k. You can still dredge in front of it.
IAM CROWLEY: How far back do you want the grass?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You need something to hold the sand in the grass will
hold the sand. We could not understand why you were going to close. It
seems like a nice access. We could not understand why you wanted a
bulkhead. You might want to secure it with different matting or something
that will hold the sand in. I do not think that we have a problem with that. Do
we? Instead ora bulkhead across the front.
IAN CROWLY: Well the applicant is right here.
JOHN CASILLO: What else do I put there? IfI do not put a low profile
bulkhead.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well if you still want a ramp. There a member of
alternatives to stabilizing that including planting. That you can still use it as a
boat ramp.
IAM CROWLEY: Well you were just going to put a canoe or kayak.
Something small. Just to stop the sand from keep going in. He is not going
to pull up a 16-foot boat there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You could put down from the top of you existing
bulkhead you can put in a low profile bulkhead. Dredge in front of it. Plant
the back up. You have got to stabilize the sand, plant the back up with
Spartina Alteriflora. It will hold the sand in it will not wash down. Because
when the waves come up it will not pull it out into the canal. Or figure out
another way like webbing or matting that you can use to stabilize that. You
can keep it.
IAM CROWLY: I think we prefer webbing it is better. Because he has the
marsh fight there. Then he cannot put it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You would have a path through it. You need
something to hold it in place. There are plant materials that you can sink into
the sand to hold them in place instead of bulkheading. It makes it more
complicated an then you still have your ramp. That is what we were thinking
about when we were out there.
IAN CROWLEY: What if you just put the matting behind the bulkhead.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Sure we have no problem with that.
TRUSTEE SMITH: No.
IAN CROWLEY: It only has to be stabilized to high water anyway. The
matting you will not see. I know that grading that you kind of submerge into
the sand. Do you want me to bring in a different drawing?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We can approve it tonight. With a different drawing.
We want it three foot below the current bulkhead. The top of that low profile
to be three foot below current bulkhead. Is there any other comment. I will
make a Motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved~
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE SMITH: I will make a Motion to Approve the application of
JOItN J. CASILLO request for a low profile bulkhead with the matting
behind the bt/lkhead to stabilize the beach. Permit will be issued when the
new plans reflect :the low profile bulkhead three foot below the existing.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.

JIM BURKE: Jim Burke of D&A Structural Contractors, Inc. on behalf of
Port of Egypt Marina. The blue print of the property stays the same I have to
change the roof pitch to make it work. I was not going to change the footings
the one end of building which is the south end of the building. It shows that
three footings will be installed to support the existing footings there.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: The only point that I had been the roof run-off.
JIM BURKE: When you came out you did specify I believe it is on the
drawings that there are various drywells on the entire building. It really is to
repair the fire damage.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The aluminum leaders and gutters.
JIM BURKE: You did mention the gutters and leaders and drywells.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is the drywells that I do not see.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I have no problem with it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I do not see the drywells on this on the plans. I think
we want to disapprove it subject to the Town Engineer's approval of the
drywell extension Do I have a Motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded.

33. J.M.O. Consultants, Inc. on behalfofYVETTE LAND EINCZIG
requests a Wetland Permit remove a 5-1/2'x28' fixed dock and to construct a
4' x 16' extension with a 5'x10' "L" at it's seaward side. Located: 3055
Wells Road, Southold, NY SCTM#70-4-11
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: Would anyone like to comment?
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: Angelo stepnoski, Greenport Docks once again it is
a 4x56 foot extensmn replacing 28 feet additional and 6x10 "L"
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: We all looked at this.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We looked at it twice.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I am very familiar with this spot. I know the water
depth. You did not hit the bar.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: There is no bar fifty feet seaward at the end of that
dock There are trees down, piles where the dock used to be longer.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA; What kind of water depth do you have.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: Four foot. The dock is dry about 15 feet sea level at
normal low tide.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I have a hard time believing that.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: I have pictures showing the 15-foot of sand at the
end of that dock. I have pictures of the pilings north of the water. I did not
know this meeting was going to be tonight until seven o'clock. There is
plenty of room even if these people want a fix dock. The reason these people
44
want a fix dock rather than a floating dock is that they live in Lagoon Beach,
California and use the house two week-ends in the summer. They do not want
to worry about the dock.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I could not see going any farther than where it
breaks off. We were all out there looking at. It looks like ten feet beyond
where the dock starts.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: I have pictures showing where the dock ends.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Maybe you ought to recess it and bring us that picture,
because we were out there twice and I value Ken's experience in these creeks
and [ do not doubt your word. I have seen it and I seen Kermy's judgment and
I have seen it proved in the field. So maybe if we see these pictures. Ij ust do
not want to say that you are not right.
TRUSTEE POL1WODA: I would go far and claim that the shoal actually
goes up beyond the house. To the south.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: Who Burns.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: The house to the South.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: The house to the South is across the street.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: What is it east towards the bridge?
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: This dock the way it is proposed will not be as long
as Burns's dock. It is sure is designed as it is.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is all right. Burns has a hugh dock there.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Are you familiar to the East that there is foot and
half water.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: Which dock Burns.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: From the dock proposed you would hit a sand bar.
There is a sand bar.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: If you go directly out - sure you can.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Not low tide high tide you can.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: I walked out. I have been in there thousands of
times and have no problem.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Go now at low tide and you will see it. He is right
at the end of.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: There are tons of water out there. I walked out
there in one day. The only thing that kept me from going over my head was a
stick I had at low tide.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I cannot see going any further than ten feet where
that dock ended.
ANGELO STEPNOSKI: It is dry. Ten foot beyond that I guarantee it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: There is ne sense in going on anymore.
why don't they have it just as it was?
