~12. Legal Files - We may have the possession of a legal file
on an applicant and if the applicant or whomever wants to review
the file they may see it. If the Board feels that there is

Board of Trustees 3 January 27, 1994
PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMRNTS ORGANIZED AND BRIEF:
FIVE (5) MINUTES OR LESSr IF POSSIBLR
7:21 p.m. - In the matter of En-Consultants on behalf of
DOUGAL FRASER to replace (within 18") 99+' of existing
timber bulkhead and remove and replace in same location and
configuration 3.5' X 8' stairs leading from bulkhead to beach,
approx. 15 c.y. of clean backfill will be trucked in from
upland site, construct 13' X 20' wood deck to be located west of
fixed walk and parallel to bulkhead. Located 7955 Nassau Point
Road, Cutchogue. SCTM ~118-4-7
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have anyone here who would like to speak
in favor of this application? Do I have anyone here to speak
against this application?
BRUCE LOUCKA: You have our co~Lu~ents.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The comments of the CAC recommends approval
with conditions that the runoff onto the beach from the pipe
connected to the catch basin be removed. Runoff should be
contained by using drywells. There's also something new that
we're starting here that we have to have (changed tape and lost
some of the conversations) Are you involved with this one?
SPEAKER: No, but if you could tell me the adjacent property
owners, I think I know where the catch basin is and I might be
able to respond to you 'cause I did the job right nex~ door to
it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: George Fry and Robert Gredick.
SPEAKER: At the end of this right-of-way that drives down to
the bulkhead there's a dip at the end of the driveway and if you
swing left you go into Gredick's driveway, and if you swing
right you go into Mr. Frasers, So there's a dip and the water
collects and they put a catch basin in years and years ago in
order for that to drain it would just bubble up in that catch
basin. I think they took an eight inch culvert that ran into
the bulkhead. I think that right-of-way is owned by the Nassau
Point Association because I spoke to them ~hout it, about
replacing it and doing some work. That's the deal there, the
rain water coming off the lawns, and both sides are higher than
the road is.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Since your here I'll explain it. One of the
concerns we have had are people doing work, contractors doing
work, of course this is private road ending. I don't know if we
put this into the permit. We have to have contractor access out
into all permits now, so the contractor can be held responsible
for any damage done to the road ending. Now of course ~e can't
hold the contractor responsible for a private roadway or for
private property. But that's just something we are. requiring
now. We're working with Ray Jacobs to work out a bond schedule
if necessary. Are there any other comments on this
application? I'll take a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: So moved.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would we like to vote on this.?
TRUSTEE GARRRLL: Moved to approve with the stipulation that
the recommendations of the CAC be followed.
Board of Trustees 4 January 27, 1994
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. ALL AYES
7:26 p.m. - In the matter of JOSEPH & ELLEN SULLIVAN to
construct a single family dwelling, deck, detached garage,
sanitary system and fill. Located East side of Cul de Sac at
end of Meadow Beach Lane, "Harborview at Mattituck". SCTM
#116-7-7
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: There's a note here: "F.R. Weber, Architect
sent a revised site plan as follows: 1. detached garage has
been eliminated and a garage space has been provided under the
north end of house. 2. house has been rotated to north (more
parallel to the side property line;. 3. existing vegetation
lines and some plantings have.been shown. 4. changes in
elevations (contours) have been reduced on the creek side of
house to allow more natural landscape to remain". ThiS on Halls
Creek? Is there anyone here against this application? Is there
anyone here in favor of this application and would like to speak?
FReD WEBER: Basically we were addressing the concerns of the
Board at the last meeting that we were encroaching too much into
an area that was low and I think they established a line as 20'
west of the dirt road. So what we've done has been to rotate
the house back so that this corner is back further aways from
the dirt road and that we will not be impacting any contour
lines which are within 20' of the dirt road and below the
contour line.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Is this the old one here.
MR. WEBER: No that's the revised one.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: So what do you plan to do as far as
landscaping or plantings?
MR. WEBER: Basically we have two sort of wild blueberry bush
planting areas here and grass area in the center. It's not
extensive and the contours are quite high in this area as
opposed to this area where they dip back. We thought that the
nature of the ....
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Anything east of this is gonna be natural?
MR. WEBER: Everything east of the road would be natural and
this dotted line which has the note right above the fold talks
about, that's the dotted line that is a 20' to the west of the
dirt road as well as it intersects an 8' contour right there.
So in that area we're not gonna be disturbing the grade or the
existing vegetation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: And you eliminated the fill on the east side
of the house as well.
MR. WEBER: Right. The fill is tucked in a lot, close, in other
words the 10' contour tucked into the house there ....
MR. GARRELL: And that wooded area as indicated on the
blueprint, that stays?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That's what we asked for at the last meetiRg.
Basically it was a fill area so that we could minimize any
runoff and that's such a large vegetated buffer that that will
easily contain that runoff. Thank you very much.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: You're putting the garage under the house
now?
Board of Trustees 5 January 27, 1994
FiR. WEBER: Yes.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: And will there be drainage? This is just
a technical...for my own .... In other words is there gonna be a
driveway going down there.
MR. WEBER: Basically the D.E.C. will not allow an impervious
surface.. We hadn't proposed any drywells at this point.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Because it will be impervious, a lot of times
a drywell will tend to silt up. It's largely ineffective.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Any other comments? From the Board? Do I
have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: So moved.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion on the application?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: I make a motion we approve.
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. ALL AYES
7:32 p.m. - In the matter of LORETTA HINDERLING requests a 335
s.f. ' extension of an existing deck on north side of house.
Located 1325 Smith Drive North, Southold. SCTM ~76-2-2.5
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have any comment in favor of or against
this application
MR. LOUCKA: You have CAC comments there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: "Recommend approval of the Wetland
Application" without any conditions. This is the one where they
had a small bulkhead. I think the only thing we noticed was the
need for drywells and gutters. It was a rather steep grade.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I have a note in the matter of its
.completion. I think its OK.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: I make a motion we close the hearing.
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have amotion to approve?
TRUSTEE GARRELL: Motion to approve.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Should be put a condition to specify drywells?
MR. LOUCKA: Question? I thought it was a deck.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No, not on the deck, on the house.
MR. LOUCKA: Oh. The permits for the deck.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Right, for the 335 s.f. deck. Do we have
amotion?
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I'll second it. ALL AYES
7:35 p.m. - In the matter of Jack Foehrenbach on behalf of
BLUEPOINTS COMPANY INC., requests a Wetland Permit to X 30'
open tanks in adjacent area. Tanks would be serviced by a 2,000
GPM pump enclosed in a 5' X 5' structure. Intake and outfall
pipes would run underneath the pier and thetanks connected in
parallel. Located foot of Love Lane, MattitUck. SCTM
~140-1-23.1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have anyone who would wish to co~ent on
this application? Does the Board have any comments?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: It really deals with zoning. Is this
commercial or residentially zoned? In other words, its a
Board of Trustees 6 January 27, 1994
business going into a property, and are we giving them
permission to make it commercial zoning. I just think as a
general concept, can we create a commercial zone, and it might
be commercial 'cause its that little piece of property.
CRAIG STRONG: It's zoned "Marine II'~.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: OK. that solved the question. I thought
it might. They were gonna build a marina there years ago,
and...
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have any other comments from the public
or the Board? Do I have amotion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: So moved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would someone like to make the motion?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: I'll make a motion we approve it.
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: I'll second it. ALL AYES
7:37 p.m. In the matter of BARBARA BRAATZ requests a Wetland
Permit to dredge by clam shell crane on barge to 5' below MLW
approx. 160 c.y. and deposit on spoil sites on applicants
property and grade. SCTM ~111-10-14
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here who would like to comment
in favor or against this?
GEORGE COSTELLO: This is maintenance dredging. I've dredged
this area three times. 1974, 1984, & (could not hear his
comment). All the spoil is going up on the corner of her
existing bulkhead and of course the stipulation of the DEC is
haybales and silt cloth.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You have the DEC Permit?
MR. COSTELLO: No, not yet.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there any other comment? This Board have
any other comment?
TRUSTEE GARRELL: How big is the property?
MR. COSTELLO: 22 acres.
MR. LOUCKA: CAC comments, we have a condition on it. We
approve it with a time frame type condition.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I would imagine that would run the same as the
DEC right?
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Just as a curiosity, could you give me a
little history on this little basin?
MR. COSTELLO: Its been in existing for 75 years going back to
the pictures on old survey I saw.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Do you have any idea if this was originally
dug out?
MR. COSTELLO: Yes. I think Mr. Vanston, the fellow that
built it 75 years ago, I don't know how, he had several docks in
the area also.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: So it's been fully bulkheaded for as long
as anybody can remember.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE GARRELL: So moved.
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would someone like to make a motion on this
application?
TRUSTEE GARREL: So moved that the application be approved.
TRUSTEE ALRERTSON: Second. ALL AYES
Board of Trustees 7 January 27, 1994
7:40 p.m. In the matter of SUZANNE V. SWICK to construct a
one family dwelling with excavation for foundation, slab and
septic system with no activity within 35' from top of bluff.
Located Route 25 Main Road, East Marion. SCTM ~23-1-6.1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do we have any comment, either for or against?
DAN ROSS: I represent Michael & Barbara Delano, who own
property to the south, in opposition. Basically we feel the
application is premature and incomplete. For a number of
reasons. 9721C requires that the application show the type and
size and location of the proposed structure. An considering
where its gonna be placed it seems as though , where its
suggested gonna be placed. It should be more specified.
Especially the height of the structure and where exactly where
its gonna be. Its critically important especially to the
people to the south.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Can I co~mLLent on your co~ents, or do you wan~
go through it.
MR. ROSS: Go ahead, we'll take it one at a time.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't think we can specify the height of the
structure. That's out of our jurisdiction really.
MR. ROSS: That's ruled by zoning, but if we knew where it was,
we could at least figure out what 2 1/2 or 2 stories is gonna
do and comment on that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That's a point well taken and we had a great
difficulty on this before you even start with anything else on
this application because of a number of different reasons. One
of which, the past chairman did the initial inspection and met
with the applicant on the site. When he became ill, much of the
information was, because it was here, was never transmitted and
the file was lost. This application sat for quite awhile. We
finally picked up the pieces. We met on the site. We've been
there three or four times. It's not just a...we didn't do just
a windshield review here. We went out and measured and we had
questions and we went back and remeasured 35' from the top of
the bluff, we felt was, because of the area, would give us the
protection we .needed. Environmental protection that we needed.
As for as the house plans itself whether it was 20' to the east
or west, our concerns are environmental and so I can understand
from your point of view from the people you are representing. I
can understand their concern. But our concern on a standard
review that really didn't matter to us because its more or less
a lawn area. The wetland fringe is from the top of the bluff
down. We wanted to protect that. Coming to the south that area
is impacted with numerous houses there. It's a residential
area. And from an environmental standpoint that's why we didn't
specify the specific location of the house. Often times the
house will be staked. The house corners will be staked. But on
this case, where it's already an impacted site. As long as we
have the proper setback we let it go to the applicant.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: I was very curious when I saw this one to
figure what the septic system was gonna look like, and wet~er
that was gonna have any impact on Dam Pond. I don't know what
the gradient, the hydrological gradiant looks like there. In
the past with the CAC's, for example, with the small bodies
Board of Trustees 8 January 27, 1994
of water that your overlooking with the septic system, your
always worry wether those small bodies of water are gonna be
part of the septic system and your gonna degrade them. That's
where my concerns are coming from on this one. I went in there
and I could see why there might be problems with it and I would
like to hear what some of the CAC recommendations were.
MR. ROSS: The CAC recommended that the property be set back
75' from the bank. Right now the map in the Boards file shows
the envelop 75' back from the waters edge, not from the bank.
so that hasn't been corrected unless there's a new map.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKt: The problem we only have jurisdiction within
75' of the wetlands, and the bank is probably 20' to the
wetlands, so we really can't say "stick it in your back yard".
We don't have jurisdiction there. We can't say put any further
back. 35' back from the top of the bluff, we felt we were about
55' at that point. Which would kind of answer which you were
saying about the septic system, that would be outside our
jurisdiction.
MR. ROSS: Where that wetland line is, is unclear and that what
the Health Dept. has. The Health Dept. in response to SEQRA
says "show us a wetland delineation on the map and that-hasn't
been done first. But second, Mr. Bredemeyer said that in any
event it runs from the bottom of the bank.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: In this case it is a well defined wetland line
because it is steep end.
MR. ROSS: And from 75' it's no~ from the bottom of the bank
now. Now that I would think be at least minimum. But the other
Health Dept. comment which goes to your concern is they wanted
to know where the surrounding cesspools and septic systems
were. Now this Board has the power, in fact, in some instances
been argued this Board was required to have the applicant get
all other permits. There's been an amendment and you can waive
that, yes, but this is one of those cases where I would suggest
that for a number of reasons. 1. The Health Dept. reasons we
just discussed, 2. I think there are zoning issues here which
the applicant should take with the Building Dept. and possibly
the Zoning Board. And those are... First I have a problem with
the location, visa vi zoning code section 100-239.4 A1 which
requires lots adjacent to sounds and which there exists a bluff
or bank shall 100' from the top of the bluff a fact. Now here
we have property which is adjacent to a sound and we have a
bluff or bank, and if you go 100' back she needs a variance.
When you figure than in and the other setbacks it seems as
though this application before this Board is premature. Not
only for Health Dept. reasons, for zoning reasons. I don't
think the map tells you enough. There was a request from
various entities to show it on the map and it wasn't done. The
CAC reco~m,endations are not shown on the map...
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: They don't have to be.
MR. ROSS: I realize that, but neither are the Health Dept's.
recommendations have been considered by the applicant.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't think .we have that, Health Dept.
recon~[~endations.
Board of Trustees 9 January 27, 1994
MR. ROSS: Yes, its in response to the SEQRA notice. The Health
Dept. says the survey prepared by Van Tuyl revised May 12,
1993 does not depict fresh water or tidal wetland boundary is
the limit of the wetland at the edge of the Pond as shown?
That's not according to Mr. Bredemeyer. And then you get to the
additional question which is what is this property, how much
buildable land is on this property? I don't know what this
Board considers its property. But they've got their line
running right across the Pond. Isn't that your property?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It is.
MR. ROSS: I would think that should be corrected. Take out the
pond property, take out the wetland property, 'cause buildable
land is defined in the code as...you deduct the wetlands, you
deduct the easements, you deduct the slopes over 15%, you deduct
the land which is underwater and they've got about 1/2 acre.
Possibly. But you don't know from this map.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes, I agree with you on a lot of that. The
only constraint we can work under those is the 75' wetland
limit. If we put on a permit that no activity take place within
75' then in fact we don't issue a permit because its outside of
our jurisdiction.
MR. ROSS: But if you say that on a permit you can't tell where
the 75' is based on this map.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: I-would really like to see that proposal
complete as far as the septic system, if we could do it.
MR. ROSS: I would suggest under 9721-J you require them to get
necessary permits. I think this is a zoning issue in the first
instance before its a environmental issue. And I think its a
Health Dept. issue too. You've taken the lead on SEQRA,
you've given them the start. Let them get their own permits.
You've done it before, the same concerns here. If this Board
does not want to request the applicant to make the wetland
designation, my clients will hire an environmentalist. They
didn't do it because of the short notice. If that's the case
they will go out and along those lines, I request that you hold
the hearing open and give us a chance to get that in. If that's
how the Board feels about it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Are there any other comments? Does the Board
have anything to add to that. I'll comment on that. There have
been over the years, not numerous, but they have been involved
because of the physical constraints of the property, we do
require the Health Dept. to issue the permit first. The
Health Dept. Unfortunately in that code says the applicant
must bring to them all permits, applicable permits. The
applicants in a catch-22. But we do work with the Health
Dept. on cases on this where if we ask them to go ahead and
review the project before we review it so that in fact the issue
of siding of the septic tank and the well is resolved. That's
not usual but not unusual either. A lot of that has to do with
the neighbors well, the proximity of the neighbors septic
system. So that was the policy of the last Board. Again, we
are working with a new Board, so we're kind of feeling our way
around this° Also the zoning issue, when there is a problem
with zoning we will defer of course to the proper authorities.
Board of Trustees 10 January 27, 1994
Again that's out of our ..... and a lot of times the Zoning Board
comes back and say "you mentioned a 100' setback". If something
is placed out our jurisdiction then of course we don't have an
application. So I don't know how the Board feels ~bout that.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEN: I was gonna suggest that in my own .... I
know in the CAC, when I was chairman of the CAC we looked at
it and our feeling was there's enough room there that just put
it beyond 75' and let them deal with the zoning. That was the
consensus of what the way we looked at that the piece of
property has enough room, why encroach into the 75' territory of
the TrusteeS? But I don't know how we do that.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Oh, very easily, we table it, we require a
survey with a stake wetland line and then require the building
envelop be staked again so we can reinspect it. If we can
verify in the field that in fact the wetland line that they
staked in the survey is in fact what we consider to be .... and in
this case, its a well defined wetland line. I would rather just
table this instead of closing the Public Hearing. Keep the
Public Hearing open. Unless somebody wants to close it, but I
think there are other issues that ...... I think we can resume the
Public Hearing next month and get more information.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: With more information, I think so. It would
be nice to bring in Mrs. Swick.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Some of this is technical too, the fact that
there is no wetland line on here that we verified in the field.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: My feeling is, we don't have enough
information at this point.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Do I have a motion to keep the Public Hearing
open until we receive a survey indicating a wetland line.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: Also do you want to add details regarding
septic system and siting house?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I have a feeling that the septic system will
be outside of our jurisdiction. I don't know if you want to get
into this with the Health Dept. Once we get a wetland line of
75' I have a feeling everything will be located, even the house
might be located behind it.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: I sure would feel a lot better if I knew
that septic system was on the south side and well and I knew
impacts, if any, were gonna be on that corner of Dam Pond.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I'll write a letter to the Health Dept. and
ask for their coordination on this matter too.
TRUSTEE AT~ERTSON: Second. ~T,T, AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I think the zoning issue .... We can send a copy
of our correspondence ...... or do we have anything from the ZBA?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: Ho, I think its up to the applicant. The
applicant can still come in front of us and say they want to put
it in that area. They have that right.
7:59 p.m. - In the matter of En-Consulta~ts on behalf of PHILIP
R. MARRINER requests a Wetland Permit to construct a timber
dock consisting of a 4' X 40' fixed catwalk extending off an
existing deck and steps and maintaining at least 4' above
elevation of vegetated marsh, a 3' X 12' hinged ramp, a 6' X 20'
Board of Trustees i1 January 27, 1994
float (arranged in a "T" shape) secured by (2) 10" diameter
pilings. Dock will replace owners mooring which is located at
easterly side of proposed float. Located 320 Sailors Needle
Road, Mattituck. SCTM $144-5-28 & 29.2
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone here would like to speak in favor of
this application? Anyone here who would like to speak against
this?
MR. LOUCKA: You have our co~mLzents.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No conditions. They recoa~Ltend approval.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I have a comment. I think all these kinds
of docks should be downsized as much as possible. And kept to
a minimum. Certainly it seems the catwalk could be reduced to
3' I question wether a 20' float is necessary.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What do you think an appropriate length would
be?
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I don't know, what's the size of the boat
that's being put on it is?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Mr. Marriner what size boat would you put on
it?
MR. MARRINER: It's a 20' boat.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would a 16' float be adequate to moor it there?
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Do you feel then it could be downsized and
still be functional?
MR. MJ~RINER: In floats that we had there previously when
they get much smaller thank that their not very stable.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: At our organizational meeting we also talked
about the width of catwalks. Is there anyway you could survive
with a 3' wide catwalk instead of the 4'
MR. MAR~INER: Yes, that could be done but then all of a
sudden you have to put railings on it. If you get any narrower
your into a railing. That's the reason for 4' rather than 3'
The reason for railings is some days we like to walk down we
have a problem with a railing.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPNEL: I tend to agree with the 3' it gets too
narrow when your carrying stuff. I know we talked about it in
the car on field inspections, and 3' tends to get too narrow.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone else? Any other coi,m~ents from the
Board? Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE ALBERTAON: So moved.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: Second. ALL AYES

8:03 p.m. - In the matter of J.M.O. Consulting on behalf of W.L.
LYONS BROWN, III to construct a 4' X 100' timber dock to be
constructed 4' above grade. Also to construct a single family
dwelling, sanitary system, garage, driveway, retaining wall,
patio, stonewall, pool and decking as per plans dated 9/29/93.
Located Equestrian Ave., Fishers Island. SCTM $9-9-27.2
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anyone here have a cormment in favor or against
this application? Does the Board have any comment on this?
CAC did not inspect the areas, they may make comments at a
later date.
Board of Trustees 12 January 27, 1994
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: When we looked at this on Fishers Island
there was some concern that the dock of this size might conflict
some of the neighbors because of the way the properties taper
down at the water there. Once again, I feel that 100' docks are
all over sized to say the least. My personal feeling is that is
you can't reachdeep enough water for your vessel with a much
small dock then maybe the vesssl should be on a mooring and you
should have a dinghy. I think these kinds of docks tend to
monopolize the waterway and I don't think its necessary.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The house and the patio and the pool and all
that is outside of our jurisdiction Coastal Erosion and
Wetlands. Unfortunately the survey that was given here is not
the scale on the dock, nor does it have the relationship that
Peter spoke of to the adjacent neighbors. That was our
c~ncern. See how its a little "U" shape. This is a
right-of-way here (indicating map) which cuts in front of this
property. This property has only 27 feet frontage here.
Normally we hold the owner 15' on the property line, which is
impossible there. It's a large enough lot in itself, upland
wise.
TRUSTEE GARRET.T.: We thought that you could put the dwelling
on it. I remember the reservations about that dock because it
really plugs that little bayment.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPREL: Is the righ-of-way for other owners, or
is it a Town right-of-way.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't know. It's a matter of us trying to
set a limit on it. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as
length, I would be happy to hear it.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: I haven't seen it so this one I'm a little
hesitant. My only concern is dealing with the property owners
that do we just want to say this or maybe they'd be happ~ to do
it only 30'. That might be an issue to table it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It's not so much the water, its a matter of
monopolizing the water ways itself.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We did ask for soundings. They're not here.
We shouldn't have had the Hearing then. T~hle it. Second on
the t~hle?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: Second. ALL AYES
8:10 pom. - In the matter of Land Use on behalf of ROBERT
ALCUS to construct a 4' X 20' catwalk elevated 4' above grade,
a 3' X 10' ramp and a 6~ X 20' float. Lane Use is requesting
that Town Trustees waiver their fee due to extenuating
circumstances. Located Cedar Point Drive East, Southold.
SCT~ 992-t-2.t
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI" Here's the note from Land Use Co. (enclosed in
back of minutes).
TRUSTEE GAR~RT~: How much of a fee is it involved here?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I would imagine its $150. Wetland fee. The
question here the other fees associated with the structure in
the bottom coverage associated with it. Let's talk about the
application itself. Is there anyone here who would like to
comment on the application? In favor of it? Anyone to speak
Board of Trustees 13 January 27, 1994
against it? CAC co~,L,ents are approval with conditions that
the project does not hinder navigation.
MR. LOUCKA: On the original application they requested a 4' X
30' dock instead of a 4' X 20 catwalk.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: I think they've lost their meaning right
now.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We'll disregard those CAC comments.
MR. LOUCKA: We were never given the changes in the application.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I have a co~ent. These people seem to be
perfectly happy to go with the 3' ramp, why not a 3' catwalk?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't have a problem with that. Do I have a
motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: So moved.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Peter would you like to make a motion?
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I~d like to make a motion that we approve
the permit as long as they reduce the size of the catwalk to 3'
X 20'. The rest is fine.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Now that we have concluded that portion we can
consider then the request for Mr. Alcus to waive the fees.
It"s open for co~m~ent.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: We've asked him to meet three different
times and to change it each time. I take it that each time we
had to amend his other applications. Just the one?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Let's take a look.
TRUSTEE GARRELL: How many times has he submitted the $150.007
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Just once.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPHEL: We've asked him to emend it twice, so he
has to go to the three other Boards twice...we asked him to
change it, and then asked to change it again.
MR. LOUCKA: How about the times per square foot fee?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Generally he is asking to waive the fee.
MR. LOUCKA: The $150 or the times square foot?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No, he just wants to waive the fee.
MR. LOUCKA: the whole thing? Oh, that's something different.
TRUSTEE F=RUPSKI: Mr. Alcus is not the first person we put
through the hoops, and its not without reason. We wanted to get
it right the first time and not ~ into a problem with
navigation. I don't think we were unreasonable as far as our
request and seeking public co~,~nt and responding to that.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPM~L: And other people have had to make
amendments and do the rest?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Absolutely. That's my feeling. We did the
review on it. It's not like we made some awful mistake at the
applicants mistake. Unless someone else feels generous today.
He pays. Now I need a motion to go off the Public Hearings.
TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I make the motion.
TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Motion to go back onto the regular meeting?
TRUSTEE GARRELL: So moved.
