Re: ~ Matt-A-Marr Marzna, Inc: ~
Dear Colonel Smith:
Public ~Notice No. 10849~81-622-L2
The Southold Town Board of Trustees opposes.the construcqion of ~our (4)
T floating docks by Matt-A-Mar Marina on.Mattituck Inlet in.order to
permit deeper-draft vessels. . ~ - .~ ~ .....
Ther~ is a lack of flushing action in the southern part of Mattituck
Inlet on which the Marina is located, as has been documented by the
Suffolk County Department of Planning in a study entitled: Mattituck
Creek Watershed Study, Phase One. There will be a buildup of oil, grease
and wastes_in the wa~er, caused by the lack of~ action by the -tides and
the increase of boat traffic at the Marina. As it is, this area is
already closed to~shellfishing.
The T.dock ~to the North juts out into Long ~reek~, which~could cause
~bstruction~ to navigation in the channel. Also, the increase of the
number of larger boats would have a detrimental effect on the inter-
tidal marsh on the North Side of Long Creek.
In order to prevent further contamination of the inlet at the Southern
end, preserve a valuable piece of wetlands and not create a navigational
hazard, the Southold Town Board of Trustees strongly objects to this
application.

Mrs. C. J. Harvey, Bayer Road, Mattit~ck and to the Mattituck Inlet
Advisory Committee~ . _ ~
On motion made by Mr. Stoutenburgh, seconded by Mrs.. Hataier, it was
RESOLVED to adopt the following guidelines, so that the present and
-future Trustees wfll have some direction to go by: . .
The Town waters and their bottomland belong to all the residents of
Southold Town, no matter where they live within the Township. It is
'the responsibility of the Trustees to ~ana~e these valuable resources
so that all can benefit from them.
JURISDICTION: The Trustees jurisdiction includes all the inland waters
in the Town of Southold, including a~y man-made areas where such 'inland
waters shall flow (reason: should any structure or activity be made in
these inland areas such as ramps, bulkheads, road runoff,~ etc., they
eventually will have an effect on the town waters). _
MOORINGS: Providing there is space available and they do not interfere
with navigation or other moorings, town waters shall be available for
moorings to all residents of Southold Town. Mooring anchors must be
regular mushroom anchors onl~ (no cement blocks, hook anchors, etc.).
They must be clearly'marked with the mooring numbers three inches in
height painted on them. No inboards or boats over 22' long may be
moored with onshore-offshore stakes.
)DOCKS, poles', stakes and piles with the accompanying boat shall not be
any closer than 15' to the property line (this does not include bulkheads).
The length of a dock is to conform to adjacent docks whenever possible
and the permit number is to be clearly visible in three inch numerals
on each side. A three foot catwalk is recommended over wetlands, and
all structures over wetlands must be high enough not to impede marsh
grass growth.
DREDGING: All dredging, both private and public, shall come under the
jurisdiction of ~he Town Trustees including where the dredging isI to
take place and the spoil placed. Dredging is not recommended in
Southold Town waters except for navigational purposes and maintenance
of marinas - in which, case, the spoils shall 'not.be used for private
use. If bottomland i~ used for private use to enhance one's property,
there will be a charge according to our fee schedule.
BULKHEADS: Bulkheads should be discouraged whenever possible and those
permitted should be as high above the high water mark as feasible and
a 'clear need demonstrated.
SPOIL: When taken ~rom town waters and used for private gain, a fee
shall be charged at the rate of $2.00 per cubic yard.
S 'TO AND. ALONG TOWN WATERS:
At the end of Town roads wher. e moorings
: 467
bare allowed, there~ music be ample room for ingres~.~nd egress. No
structure shall i~hibit the public's right to walk along the shore front
unless access is provided over or around the structure.
Mr. Stoutenburgh amended the foregoing motion, seconded by Mrs. Hataier,
not to adopt the g~idelines until such time as Town Attorney Tasker
reviewed them. A copy of the guidelines is to be sent to Mr. Tasker.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Mrs. Hataier, Messrs. Smith Staples, Kujawski
and Stoutenburgh. '
The Board requested the following letter be sent to Mrs. Agnes Pagnozzi
