RE: ZBA #5912
Dear Chairwoman Oliva:
~.
,
As requested by your office, a site visit was conducted at t e Seely operty (SC tax map '# 1000-33-3-19.4)
in order to review the proposed pool installation. The follo are the observations and recommendations,
as reflected from the site visit.
Observations:
The enclosed 2004 aerial photo presents a well-wooded property. However the site visit revealed that the
entire site (up to the edge of the bluff) was completely cleared of this vegetation and a house and1andscaping
have been constructed as shown on the site plan. The proposed pool is Sited at the eastern property
boundary between the rear of the house and apprOximately 66 feet from the bluff's edge. Photo 1 identifies
the approximate location of the proposed pool in relation to the bluff.
The house has been fitted with gutters, downspouts, and dry wells, which are effectively directing runoff into
the ground. The entire area of the backyard including where the pool is proposed, slopes towards the bluff.
Between the house and the bluff, is a sod lawn. a Hoot wide mulch bed, and a 25-foot buffer of weedy
vegetation, in that order. The lawn is serviced by a sprinkler irrigation system, while drip irrigation is used on
the mulched areas (photo I 1St 2).
The buffer along the top of the bluff has not been landscaped, rather is has been left fallow and subsequently
native and invasive herbaceous plants have revegetated this area. Landscaping debris, in the form of grass
clippings and branches have been disposed of in this buffer area (photo 1).
.
.
The bluff is of moderate height (25- 30 feet). Beach access is provided by a stairway on
the eastern property boundary. An old road bisects the bluff horizontally creating a
tiered bluff. The bluff face is in stable condition except for three small gullies located on
the slope above the old road; two on the western side of the bluff and one on the eastern
side of the bluff have overhanging lips of vegetation and vertical faces at the top of the
bluff. A complement of flora including Bayberry, Beach grass, Seaside golden rod,
M utilflora rose and Rugosa rose fully vegetate the bluff with the exception of the gullies.
The entire toe of this bluff is in stable condition. No bulkheads or hardening structures
exist on this, or adjacent bluffs (photo 2-5).
Recommendations:
Currently, the majority of the bluff appears to be in stabile condition with the exception
of the three small gullies. If no action is taken to stabilize the gullies, the erosion can
magnify and spread to adjacent bluffs. Such unabated erosion can threaten structural
stability of houses, stairways, pools, as well as the health of Long Island Sound and the
bluff ecosystem. Therefore, it is essential to remediate the cause of these gullies and
repair all of the erosion on the bluff, in order to prevent future damage.
Runoff flowing over the top of the bluff is the expected cause of the gully erosion. The
entire backyard area of the property slopes towards the bluff and no measures have been
installed to prevent water from breaching the top of the bluff. Magnifying the potential
for runoff is the use of both sod and a sprinkler irrigation system on the lawn and the
clearing of the top of the bluff.
The first step in remediating the gullies is to eliminate the catalyst of the erosion, i.e.
runoff flowing over the top of the bluff. It is recommended to construct a berm at the
base of the la\Y1l. This will prevent runoff water from traveling down the bluff face and
allow the water to naturally percolate into the ground. Specifically, the berm should be
placed where the mulch area exists between the natural buffer and the yard and have a
height of one foot with 3:I side slopes. To stabilize the berm, a fescue mix with annual
rye should be established through seeding during the spring or fall months. Due to the
shallow root system and high degree of water required for establishment, sod should not
be used as a means to vegetate the berm. Respectively, the use of irrigation to aid in the
grass establishment on the berm should be carefully monitored as over irrigation can
conrribute to runoff water. Mowing of the berm can occur but the grass should not be
cut to a height any lower than 3 inches in order to prevent summer burn off.
Once the berm is constructed, vegetated, and stabile, then the gullies should be repaired.
The overhanging lip of vegetation on the top of the gullies should be cut back to a natural
angle of repose. Then, the revegetation of the gullies should occur. 'Cape' American
beach grass should be established along the extent of the gully. This grass serves as an
effective sediment trap and erosion control measure due to plant density and its
substantial root systems. 'Cape' American beach grass is a hardy native perennial, that
thrives in Long Island's harsh conditions: doughty sandy soils, IS;: salt exposure. It is
these characteristics that have extensively promoted the use of 'Cape' American beach
grass to restore, create and protect bluff and dunes from both wind and water erosion.

constrUction and planting activities should be scheduled around this planting time t~
ensure successful vegetative establishment. The beach grass should be planted as three
culms (plandets) every 12 to 18 inches apart in a grid pattern (See enclosed planting
guides for fertilization and additional information) and planting should occur from the
top of the bluff to the toe. Although though walking on the bluff is generally not
recommended it will be necessary in order to execute the planting. The long-term
benefit of the planting outweighs the minimal erosion that will occur during the one day
of planting.
To increase diversity on the bluff and reduce the threat of disease, a warm season grass
seed mixture should be broadcast on the slope just prior to planting the beach grass.
Treading on the soil during planting of the beach grass will effectively "plant" the seed
and ensure good soil to seed contact. The seed mixture and complete method for
planting the Beach Grass is listed with in the USDA Stabilizlltion of Eroding Bluffs
document enclosed with this letter. Additionally, other low growing species (as already
found on site) such as Black-Eyed Susan, Montauk Daisy, Virginia creeper, Beach Rose
(Rosa virginica), Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus, Seaside Goldenrod, Golden Aster, Sweet
Fern, and Beach Pea are strongly recommended.
Once all of the above recommendations are implemented, the following preventative
measures should be implemented to protect the bluff from erosion. First, the 2S-foot
natural buffer area atop of the bluff should remain as is. It should not be cleared, no
should any landscaping activities (planting or fences) be implemented within this area.
This area serves to help absorb runoff from the yard and protect the top of the bluff from
erosion and human activities. Any removal of the vegetation or further clearing of this
area would compromise the stability of the bluff and may threaten the stability of the
pool and house with a large storm event.
Additionally, no debris, as found on the day of the site visit (lawn clippings, leaves,
branches, etc.) should be deposited on top of or on the bluff face. This serves as a
potential cause of erosion as it smothers the vegetation., which holds soils in place and
adds weight to the bluff face. Such landscaping residues should instead be taken to the
Town of Southold landfill for composting.
Even with the installation of the berm, insurance should be taken to reduce the threat of
runoff from the sprinkler irrigation system. Therefore, and equally important as all of the
above recommendations, the irrigation system and it's operation should be evaluated in
order to reduce the potential for breaching the berm and for runoff reduction. First, the
sprinklers should be observed to ensure that they are not spraying over the berm during
operation. If this occurs, the sprinklers should be adjustecL changed, or turned off to
prevent runoff on the north side of the berm.
;3 S-J-W

.
.
Next, irrigation scheduling which takes into consideration the sod's water requirements
(0.2 inches per day) and soil moisture should occur. Sod has a shallow root system and
requires a significant amount of water not only for establishment but maintenance as
well. Thus, irrigation systems servicing sod are routinely placed on a clock and irrigated
regardless of plant requirements, soil moisture, and precipitation (is it raining?). This
management practice often exceeds the soil's water holding capacity and creates runoff.
Therefore, the use of a Watermark sensor, which monitors soil moisture, or a rain sensor
which monitors precipitation is recommended in combination with a clock that is
reflects the sods water requirements.
As this is a residential area, humans, pets, and wildlife (deer) must be prevented, as much
as practical, from traveling down the bluff face. The use of the adjacent stairway is
highly encouraged, as bluff vegetation is easily damaged by foot traffic and is essential to
holding soils in place. Therefore, no paths should be created down the bluff face to
provide access to the beach as this would destroy vegetation, channe.l storm water runoff
and cause soil erosion.
Next, vegetation die off can from numerous causes: naturally, from deer trails, disease.
Since vegetation is critical to bluff stability any vegetation die--off whether natural or
human caused should be repaired (with the above planting recommendations) as soon as
possible in order to prevent bluff instability.
Lastly, as pools pose their own threats to bluff stability, the following are preventative
measures, which should be adopted during pool installation and management. First, care
should be taken to prevent compaction of the soil during construction. Soil compaction
on construction sites is a common occurrence due to the weight of machinery and
equipment constantly running over wet soil. Secondly, to protect bluff stability,
constTIlcrion equipment should not be allowed to travel near the bluff's edge.
Finally, due to the close proximity of the house and pool to the bluff, and the slope of the
yard, efforts should continually be made to protect the bluff integrity from pool water.
Pool water should never be discharged directly on the ground, over the bluff face, or
piped towards the bluff due to the erosive damage that such a large quantity of water
could cause to the stability of the bluff. Therefore, dry wells/leaching basins should be
installed during the construction of the pool to allow for proper disposal of pool water.
As you already are aware, proper permits must be obtained before any restoration
activities occur on a bluff. The New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation ((631) 444-0355 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), and the Army Corp.
of Engineers ((212) 264-5489) should be contacted for the appropriate permit
applications. We cannot stress this enough, as any construction that occurs without
such permits can lead to hefty fines on the State and Federalleve!.
As you are aware, bluffs are dynamic environments and erosion can occur at any time
from natural processes and/or human activities. Albeit, the above measures can serve as a
proactive means to usurp expensive and potentially irreparable bluff erosion. If you have
any questions regarding our site visit and information provided, please do not hesitate to
