Re: Baker Property, Fishers Island
Permit Modification
Dear Ms. Standish:
It has come to our attention that the stairway which we had obtained permits for at property of
Jim Baker on Fisher's Island stops sho~t of the top of the hank on his property at Darbie's Cove.
Attached is a revised drawing showing the necessity of extending the stair 23 feet further in
easterly direction. The landing will there will be no intermediate landing. The stairway will mn
slraight fi'om the crest of the bank to the stair landing off the pier maintaining a 30 inch clearance
fxom the stringer to the ground. No dog leg will be required.
Attached are revised application drawings depicting this modification to the stairs alignment.
We are also enclosing a check for $50 for an amendment to the requested p~cfit.
It is respectfully requested that this permit modification be added to your next agenda as the
contractors have already started construction at the base of the stair as previously approved.
Your assistance has always been appreciated. Please let me know if the need for any further
discussion arises.

Re: Baker Property, Fishers Island
Pier Access Stairway
Dear Mr. King:
It is respectfully requested that r~. "" II - '7 given to Mr. James Baker for the
construction of a new stairway system from the top of the bank on his property down to the pier
that has just been built. Our original plans of access to this site had to be altered because of some
of the eroded characteristics of the bank near the water. The bank is too steep to walk up initially
and the extent of the bank is such that Mr. Baker would like some storage ability down near the
pier.
The stairway system will utilize embedded, staked timbers at somewhat variable
intervals, but providing a maximum of a 7-inch rise from the top landing down to the
intevnediate platform located approximately 20 feet back from the shoreline. This timber
S~Jrway will have a handrail to make access safer especially in view of the variable tread width.
The treads will be leveled with gravel excavated at each point where a riser tread is set and the
timbers will then be staked into the ground with 3-foot long galvanized steel stakes. The fmal
section of the stair will include a framed timber run from the pier to the intermediate landing,
both of whlch will be supported by augered posts; the landing on the pier will be mounted
directly to the pier structure. Utility conduits will mn down the bank attached to the post / rail
system at ground level to minimize any aesthetic impact and provide enclosed conduits for the
electrical utilities. R is also envisioned that low-intensity lights will be mounted to the mils or
the rail posts to illuminate the walkway during hours of darkness. The lights will be manually
operated from the pier or the top of the stairs and will be on a timer so that they shut off after
approximately 15 minutes. The bulb intensity will be 18 watts or less and the fixtures will be
shielded so that their light is directed downward on the stairway and landing.
Mr. Jim King, PresidentA
Southold Board of Tms~
July 13, 2009
The Baker's would like to commence with the construction immediately upon receipt of
permits from the Town of Southold and the Department of Environmental Conservation. This
project is landward of the US Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction (mean high water line but
they will be provided with a copy of this letter for their record.
I trust that you will find this request for the permit amendment complete and acceptable.
Attached is a check in the amount of $50 payable to the Town of Southold as required. We look
forward to meeting with you at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees in
August to make our presentation. Neighbors will be notified and the Public Notice will be set at
East End Road, adjacent to this property as soon as we are authorized to do so. Your assistance
as always is appreciated.

Evaluate the project to the following policies by analyzing how the project will further
support or not support the policies. Provide all proposed Best Management Practices that
will further each policy. Incomplete answers will require that the form be returned for
completion. SEE ATTACHED NARRATIVE
DEVELOPED COAST POLICY
Policy 1. Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community
character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a
coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. See LWRP Section III - Policies;
Page 2 for evaluation criteria.
X Yes __ No Not Applicable
This new stairway system makes appropriate use of an existing waterfront access dock site and complies
with environmental design factors and guidelines the NYS DEC, and the DOS Coastal Management
Program, Southold Local Law No. 6, 2004 and the Southold LWRP. The stairway design provides a
standard wood-framed stairway from the pier to the ftrst intermediate landing where a dock box will be
located. From there to the top of the bank, the stairs will be of timbers with gravel backfill to provide a
natural stair with minimal flaming and minimal excavation. The stairway will be low-impact and low-
profile. Lighting will be low-intensity and will be operated either from the top of the bank or the pier
and be turned off mamlally or with a timer after 15 minutes or so. In this way, the impact at night will
be minimal.
Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. See
LWRP Section III - Policies Page 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria.
__ Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There are no known archaeological sites or historically significant characteristics to this site other than
the stone wall just to the north of the proposed stairway. This stone wall was built early last century to
separate adjacent farming parcels. The wall will not be disrupted or impacted by the proiect. The
stairway improvements will however make the wall more visible.
2
Policy 3. Enhance visual qtj&~ty and protect scenic resources thr~#ghout the Town of Southold.
See LWRP Section 111 - Poi~lk Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation t~lria
__ Yes __ No X Not A~plicable
The proposed structure is a fixed wood post-supported timber framed structure to the intermediate
landing and an embedded wood path stair from the landing to the top of the bank. The only visual
access affected by this project is across Darbie's Cove but the visual impact will not be significant
because of the low profile of the structure, the wooded bank and the vegetated background. The dock
facility is a typical recreational boating facility and typical of other such facilities along the shoreline
and on adiacent or nearby properties.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See
LWRP Section Ili - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X, Not Applicable
Darbie's Cove is acknowledged to be in a flood-prone area; there is some wave exposure at this site
when storms or fronts generate northerly winds.. The pier has been built to accommodate complete
submersion and resist hydrostatic uplift pressures due to flooding. The float width of 8 feet is
appropriate for this site, wave exposure and the inherent stability of floating docks and was built
according to plan. The stairway will be almost entirely upland of thc flooding limits of this site and will
be anchored by the existing pile-supported pier and the augered post-supported landing. It is highly
unlikely that buoyant forces of submergence by flooding could destabilize this stairway structure.
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP
Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
This project will not have any affect on suitability of or availability of drinking water on Fishers Island.
There will be no rainfall mn-off caused by the stairway. The embedded configuration provides for
infiltration of rainfall into the ground without influence or diversion. The wells and ponds which supply
drinking water for the island are well off of and away from the property and the stairs are down gradient
so there should be no adverse affect on quality even if pressure-treated wood is used for the stairway
matedals.
Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems
including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III -
Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria.
X Yes __ No __ Not Applicable
This stairway project will be built almost em[rely landward of the apparent high water line using
minimal structural timber components and minimal excavation.
· he desi arameters sho~_h.q_~_~ ~vide an o t_p_!~~n acceptable desig!!
and access standards and pro~ool~ortunities for the vegetation to c~l~_ the bank. The structure runs
down a steep bank adiacent to along-standing stone property line wall and would not appear to fragment
the hillside community or vegetation any differently than the existing stone wall structure, thus the siting
of the stairway (and the dock facility previously.)
tn addition, the NYS DEC prepared a study showing that the proposed pressure-treated Southern Pine
timber products construction materials are suitable for this type of proiect in this location, except for
decking on the framed stair which will be of untreated woods or composite (or plastic) materials.
Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III -
Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria.
__ Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There are no air quality issues related to this proiect. No emissions will be generated by the landing and
stairs.
Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and
hazardous substances and wastes. See LWRP Section II1 - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for
evaluation criteria.
__ Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There is no solid waste or hazardous substances to be generated from this project. The pressure-treated
wood trimmings from the construction process will be collected and disposed of in accordance with
current regulations so as to minimize harmful affects.
PUBLIC COAST POLICIES
Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and
public resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 38 through 46
for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This project is being built on private land. The public trust lands and waters constitutes the area
between the mean high water line and mean low water line and the resources are from the high tide line
(apparent high water line out. These environmental resources are being protected by the design
standards dictated by the Town of Southold and the NYS DEC. There is virtually no public use of the
waterfront in this area and the construction of the stairway to a landing above the apparent high water
line is not likely to influence or change this fact.
WORKING COAST POLICIES
4
P. olicy 10. Protect Southold~water-dependent uses and promote, i~ng of new water-dependent
· uses in suitable locations. ~I~LWRP Section HI - Policies; Pag~7 through 56 for evaluation
criteria.
X Yes __ No __ Not Applicable
This project is to build a wood post-supported and timber framed stairway and inset timber steps to a
water-dependent, recreational and transportation boat docking facility. This pier usage is defined as
water-dependent in the LWRP because the pier and float support recreational boating and will provide
occasional boat transportation access to the mainland. The stairway framing will mount to the pier and
mn up the bank to the intermediate landing without any new structure that could adversely effect access
along and to public trust lands and waters of the State· A ground-based step system was considered
preferable to a fulMength framed and post-supported stair system to preserve as much natural feature on
the bank as possible.
Policy 11. Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound the Peconic
Estuary and Town waters. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 57 through 62 for evaluation
criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This landing and steps will not be used for commercial fishing or shellfish industries or enterprises.
Policy 12. Protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section Ill - Policies;
Pages 62 through 65 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
This landing and steps are not in an area of or in support of any agricultural or aquaculture industries or
enterprises and there are none in Darbie's Cove and so this aspect of the LWRP ~hould not suffer .any
adverse impacts.
Policy 13. Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral sources. See LWRP
Section III - Policies; pages 65 through 68 for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This landing and steps arc not used for or in support of any energy or mineral mining or processing
operations nor are any such operations existing in Darbie's Cove. This proiect wilt not adversely affect
energy or mineral sources or resources.

Re: Baker Property, Fishers Island
Revised Permit Drawings & Documents
Dear Mr. King:
We are pleased to transmit herewith copies of the revised permit drawings and documents
reflecting stipulations of your approval on Wednesday night, May 16, 2007. These stipulations
are as follows:
The floating dock will be 8 feet wide and 16 feet long,
The pier will be 66 feet long from the apparent high water line to make up for the
shortened float,
The ramp will remain 3 ½ feet wide x 20 feet long,
Only two tie-off piles will be installed with the west end tie-off pile being
adjacent to the end of the floating dock and the inner pile being approximately 10
feet closer to shore,
Piles will be 8 or 9 inch diameter at the butt and approximately 6 inches at the tip
and be either pressure treated Southern Pine, Gmenhea~ or Kakaretli hardwood,
The safety rail will be only on the south side of the pier and will be 42 inches high
with extended piles providing support for the mils.
I trust that you will find these revised drawings with the terms of our discussion at the
public hearing and thank you for your approval of this project. Please let me know if the need
for any further discussion arises. Your assistance as always is appreciated.
Yours truly,
KBN:jm

Re:
Request for Wetland Permit for JAMES BAKER
SCTM# 10-5-9
Docko, Inc. on behalf of JAMES BAKER requests a Wetland Permit to construct a 4'X 62'
fixed wood pile and timber pier and an 8'X 20' floating dock with associated ramp and restraint
pilings, and install seven tie-off pilings, all waterward of the apparent high water line. Located:
Peninsula Rd., Fishers Island. SCTM#10-5-9
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the
Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy
Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form
submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that
the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the below Policy Standards and therefore is
CONSISTENT with the LWRP; provided that the proposed action meets sub-policies 6.3~
9.4 and 10.5 (b) outlined below.
6.3
Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands.
Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements of the Southold Town Board of
Trustees laws and regulations for all Andros Patent and other lands under their
jurisdiction
Comply with Trustee regulations and recommendations as set forth in
Trustee permit conditions.
The applicant must demonstrate that the following dock standards pursuant to § 275-11.
Construction and operation standards have been met.
(d) Review and approval of dock applications. Before issuing a permit for a dock
structure, the Trustees shall consider whether the dock will have any of the following
harmful effects:
[1] Whether the dock will impair navigation or be located in areas of high vessel
traffic or vessel congestion;
[2] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with the public use of waterways for
swimming, boating, fishing, shellfishing, waterskiing and other water-dependant
activities;
[3] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with transit by the public along the public
beaches or foreshore;
[4] Whether the dock will significantly impair the use or value of waterfront property
adjacent to or near the dock;
[5] Whether the dock will cause degradation of surface water quality and natural
resources;
[6] Whether the dock will cause habitat fragmentation and loss of significant coastal
fish and wildlife habitats;
[7] Whether the dock will result in the destruction of or prevent the growth of
vegetated wetlands, seagrasses including eelgrass (Zostera marina) and widgeon grass
(Ruppia maritima) or shellfish;
[8] whether the dock will unduly restrict tidal flow or water circulation;
[9] Whether the dock will be safe when constructed;
[I0] whether the dock will adversely affect views, viewsheds and vistas important to
the community;
[11 ] Whether the cumulative impacts of a residential and commercial dock will
change the waterway or the environment and whether alternate design, construction, and
location of the dock will minimize cumulative impacts; and
[12] Whether adequate facilities are available to boat owners and/or operators for
fueling, discharge of waste and rubbish, electrical service and water service.
It is recommended that the Board evaluate whether the proposed dock will "extend beyond
the minimum necessary for access to navigable waters" to meet sub-policy 9.4 below.
9.4 Assure public access to public trust lands and navigable waters.
Provide access to, and reasonable recreational use of, navigable waters and
public trust lands under water.
Provide for free and unobstructed public use of all navigable waters
below the line of mean high water for navigation~ recreation~ and
other public trust purposes, including the incidental rights of I~ublic
anchoring.
Structures extending beyond the minimum necessary for access to
navigable waters impair public trust interests and open space values
associated with the water's surface. Allow such structures only in thc
following circumstances:
a. when necessary for practical and convenient operation of water-
dependent industry or commerce, and provided that obstruction
of commercial navigation does not result.
b. for commercial recreational boating facilities provided that:
(i) the loss of navigable waters and use of underwater lands
is offset by sufficient public benefit, and
(ii) obstruction of commercial navigation docs not result.
c. when the principal purpose of the structure is necessary:
(i) to provide public access for recreational uses
(ii) for improvements for navigation
(iii) for protection from coastal hazards, or
(iv) for essential public transportation and transmission
facilities.
The intent of Policy 10 is to protect existing water-dependent commercial, industrial, and
recreational uses and to enhance the economic viability of water-dependent uses by ensuring
adequate provision of infrastructure for water-dependent uses and their efficient operation.
The term Water-dependent use means a business or other activity which can only be conducted
in, on, over, or adjacent to a water body because such activity requires direct access to that water
body, and which involves, as an integral part of such activity, the use of the water. Existing uses
should be maintained and enhanced where possible and appropriate.
Provide and maintain efficient infrastructure for water-dependent uses.
Maintain existing infrastructure and improve or provide new infrastructure,
particularly in Mattituck Inlet and Creek, Mill Creek and the Village of
Greenport, for commercial and recreational vessels and water-dependent uses.
The Town of Southold will work with the federal government, New York State,
Suffolk County, the Village of Greenport and private owners of water-dependent
uses to:
1. Maintain existing sound infrastructure for continued or potential future use
by preventing loss through abandonment and neglect.
2. Demolish and remove alternative infrastructure which is likely to present
hazards to harbor operations.
3. Maintain existing, and, where necessary for water-dependent uses,
construct new, shoreline stabilization and engineering structures such
as piers, wharves, jetties, and bulkheads.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing
its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

Appendix A
State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an ordedy manner, whether a project or action may
be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of
a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal
knowledge of the environreent or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge
in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance.
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process
has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action.
Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts:
Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists
a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Part 2: Focuses on identifTing the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance
as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The
form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is
actually important.
THIS AREA FOR LEAD AGENCY USE ONLY
DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE -- Type I and Unlisted Actions
Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and
considering beth the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that:
The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a
significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared.
Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect
for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore
a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.*
The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the
environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared.
*A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions

JAMES BAKER
DARBIE'S COVE, FISHERS ISLAND
NARRATIVE STATEMENT & SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
NOVEMBER 27, 2006
GENERAL
Mr. James Baker owns parcel 1000-10-05-09 off Peninsula Road located off the east
shore of Darbie's Cove on Fishers Island. The site is generally moderately sloped, sandy
gravel earthen materials, vegetated with grass, brush, ground cover and trees. The frontage of
the property is approximately 300 feet along Darbie's Cove at the southerly end, abutted by
the Flower family to the north and Mr. & Mrs. Richard Baker, the applicant's parents to the
south. The waterfront consists of a rock covered beach with tidal wetlands vegetation at the
base of the steeply sloped coastal bluff in the vicinity of the pier. There is a large fallen tree
along the shore; the tree will be removed as part of this project. The new pier is proposed
along the north edge of the fallen tree.
It is the Baker's desire to build a fixed pier and install a new hinged ramp to a floating
dock system. The dock end of this new pier will go from an end elevation of 5 feet above
mean low water (MLW), sloping upward and crossing over the intertidal zone at a typical
height of four feet above the bottom sediments until reaching a finished elevation of about 8
feet and then a level landing to shore at that elevation. Attached are application drawings
prepared for this project.
This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Town of Southold, Ordinance No. 6, 2004, and the Waterfront Revitalization Program related
to docks and shorefront improvements. In addition, various coastal policies under the New
York State Coastal Management Act are addressed herein for review by the New York State
Department of State and Department of Environmental Conservation.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to construct a fixed wood
pile and timber pier from the shore out into Darbie's Cove in accordance with existing
guidelines set forth in the Town of Southold ordinance No. 6, 2004.
It is envisioned that this structure will be built utilizing the following general sequence
and methodology.
The marine contractor will atxive by water with barge-mounted crane and push boats.
The fallen tree will be cut up and materials will be deposited on shore landward of the
apparent high water line or in a barge-based dumpster for removal from the site and the
island.
New piles will be driven starting at the new shore landing end of the pier and
proceeding waterward at roughly 10-foot intervals to the waterward end of the pier
approximately 62 feet from the apparent high water line. These piles will be driven by
double-acting air hammer to a bearing resistance of approximately 20 tons. This
generally results in about ten feet of embedment of the pile in the beating stratum.
These piles will be 12-inch nominal diameter measured at three feet from the butt.
1
pair of pressure treated Southern Pine timbers ranging from 3 x 10 to 4 x 12 nominal
dimension, will be bolted to the piles transversely forming a pile bent. Stringers will
be then laid on the split caps parallel to the length of the pier. In all likelihood, three
runs of stringers will be set and will probably consist of 3 x 10 pressure-treated
Southern Pine.
The outer stringer on each side will be bolted or spiked to the pile to take care of any
uplift forces that this pier might be exposed to.
After the stringers have been connected to the piles and split caps, the decking will be
installed. In accordance with Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6, 2004, this decking
will not be CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine but rather oak, cedar hardwood or
plastic / composite such as Timber Tech or similar synthetic material with the brushed
side mounted up. If Timber Tech, it will be either gray, brown or natural in color.
Decking will be attached to the stringers utilizing galvanized nails or stainless steel
flathead square-drive wood screws about 3 inches long and will be set with a ¼" gap
between deck planks.
The over-water decking will run level at an elevation of five feet above MLW or to
clear four feet above the existing bottom sediments with a slope upward at
approximately 1 foot vertically per 10 feet horizontally maximum, or less, paralleling
as closely as possible the slope of the existing intertidal zone until reaching the
finished elevation beyond (landward) of tidal wetlands vegtetation. At this point the
decking will level off as a landing and run straight to the shore. See Sheet 4 of the
application drawings for the pier profile.
The piles will be about four feet above the deck surface and have horizontal rail
members mounted to them.
A rail of cedar, oak, hardwood or Timber Tech material will be installed for safety.
A new hinged ramp will be installed at the dockside end of the pier so as to land on the
float. This will be a wood ramp, made of pressure-treated framing and posts with non-
CCA wood or Timber Tech decking. If necessary, the ramp could be built of
aluminum but that is not the Baker's preference.
Water and electricity will be run out on the pier in the space between the stringers so
that trickle chargers and / or bilge pumps on the boats may be powered during tie-ups.
The water will allow boats to be rinsed off after usage. A power post with an internal
light will be mounted to the end of the fixed pier with receptacles to provide power to
the boats from extension cords. The power post will also have coiling arms for storage
of the electric service cord and hose between uses. Because the dock may be used
during the hours of darkness, low-intensity lights will be mounted on staggered piles or
dock rail posts to illuminate the deck and the walking surface up the bank. This
system will be manually or radio controlled with a shut-off timer so that the lights will
only be on when necessary for safety of the users.
LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION POLICIES
The Town of Southold, LWRP policies that are applicable to the Baker dock proposal
are a local refinement of the Long Island Sound Regional Coastal Management Program
policies that apply throughout Long Island Sound. The Baker site is in Darbie's Cove on the
north shore of Fishers Island and is characterized by Developed Shorefront on the west shore
and south shore and currently undeveloped coast or natural coast on the east shore at the Baker
site and the parcel north. The developed coast policies are applicable as follows:
2
A Ott
Policy 1 is to roster a pa em of development that enhances ~6mmunity character and
preserves natural resources to the maximum extent and minimizes adverse impacts on
the environment,
Policy 2 is to preserve historic resources,
Policy 3 is to enhance and protect scenic resources and visual quality.
The proposed dock facility for the Baker's is consistent with waterfront development
on Fishers Island and in coastal areas. The pier is made of timbers and utilizes the materials
allowable under Local Law #6 and consistent with other adjacent dock facilities and
characteristics for the visual and scenic considerations in the cove. The encroachment has
been minimized to the maximum possible extent to be consistent with DEC policies and the
structure is as low profile as possible consistent with the safe and efficient use of the waters
and consistent with the tidal range of this site. Lighting will be minimal for operational safety
and otherwise off, and lights will be utilized only when necessary for boating purposes so that
during hours of darkness there will be no adverse impact
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
The Natural Coastal Policies are 4 through 8 and require consideration as follows:
Policy 4 - Minimize loss of life, structures and natural resources from flooding and
erosion,
Policy 5 - Protect and improve water quality
Policy 6 - Protect and restore the quality and function of the eco-system,
Policy 7 - Protect and improve air quality,
Policy 8 - Minimize environmental degradation primarily from solid waste and
hazardous substances.
The proposed structure for the Baker recreational boating facility has been laid out and
configured so as to be consistent with the DEC permit requirements for such structures. As
such, it provides adequate height to clear environmental resources of concern and the materials
to be utilized are consistent with Town of Southold's Local Law #6 regarding environmental
quality and the use of pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine timber components in particular.
There will be no adverse impacts on air quality as a result of this structure and between the
removal of the fallen tree and the construction of the dock the overall environmental
considerations in Darbie's Cove should be improved.
PUBLIC COAST POLICIES
Policy 9 sets forth a priority to provide for public access and recreational use of coastal
waters, public lands and public resources of the Town. This project creates a recreational
boating facility for the Baker's property and so is consistent with this policy.
WORKING COAST POLICIES
The policies of this section relate to the following:
Policy 10 - Protection of the Town's water-dependent uses and promoting new water-
dependent uses in suitable locations,
Policy 11 - Promoting sustainable use of living marine resources,
3
Policy 12 - Protect agricultural lands,
Policy 13 - Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral
resources.
While most of the Working Coast Policies are not applicable to this site or this type of
project, Policy 10, promoting water-dependent uses and the citing of water-dependent uses in
appropriate areas is applicable and the proposed project has been laid out to make the most
beneficial use of the land and locating the dock facility in the most appropriate point of the
land where access down the bank will not require excessive structural facilities and can
probably be accommodated with path work rather than formal stairs and so on.
This project has been laid out with specific reference and review of the Waterfront
Revitalization Program policies and is considered to be consistent.
In summary, the dock is typical of recreational boating facilities throughout the area
and all along coastal New England. The structure has been minimized in size, height, and
structure so as to be consistent with other facilities of a similar nature and the minimum
necessary components to accommodate safe and efficient boating operations from this site.
This project does not interfere with public access or use of public trust waters and lands of the
State, it does not interfere with navigation, it will not create soil or sedimentation erosion
problems, it does not adversely environmental resources and in the area where the facility
must span the intertidal zone at the shore line, the facility has been located in the area of a
fallen tree where environmental resoumes have already been diminished so as not to worsen
any of these conditions. The height of the structure has been specifically addressed so as to
allow m-vegetation of the shoreline by tidal wetlands plants if other conditions are conducive
to such growth. The dock facility has also been located reaching out to the deepest water in
Darbie's Cove so that dredging will not be an issue in the future and thus further minimi2ing
adverse environmental impacts. More than 95% of the Baker's shoreline in Darbie's Cove will
remain in a natural state as a result of these considerations for design. There is no loss of
valuable marine and wetland habitat and no water quality degradation as a result of this
project. Reference is made to the NYS DEC study from 2000 indicating the suitability of
pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine piles and super-structure components for this type of
purpose. In accordance with Local Law #6, decking for both the float and the pier and the
ramp treads will be of woods other than Southern Yellow Pine. No natural protective features
or processes will be adversely impacted as a result of the proposed docking facility. This
project is consistent with zoning policies and ordinances for the Town. The dock facility will
be an accessory to the home proposed for this site. There will be no development of the
upland related to this dock facility that will create point sources of pollution or drainage. This
project is considered to be providing recreational opportunity compatible with the natural
resource values and characteristics of the site. The floating dock is the minimal size for
stability considerations especially acknowledging that waves from the north can come into
Darbie's Cove and the floating dock is broadside to those waves. The float is suitably sized
and adequate stable for a ramp landing and the ramp has been made no longer than absolutely
necessary in order to minimize the pier structure.

REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE WETLANDS LAW 6~ 2004
The permittee acknowledges that the validity of this permit is subject to the
approval of other governmental or municipal authorities.
The permittee does, by the acceptance of this permit, assume all responsibility for
operations undertaken pursuant to this permit, and shall take all precautions for the
prevention of injures to persons and property resulting from such operations. By such
acceptance, the permittee also agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Town and its
officers.
The permittee gives consent to the Town and its officers, employees and agents to
enter upon the premises where such operations are being conducted to make such
inspections to determine whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with
the permit.
The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of
any and all operations.
The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing upon completion of operations
such that the site can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance.
In response to Sub-section 2a and the General Rules for Standards of Residential
and Commercial Docks, the following additional information is offered.
Permits for the work are being applied for through the Town, US ACOE,
NYS DEC and a coastal zone consistency determination by the NYS DOS.
The new piles to be installed will be of sturdy, durable and stable
materials; in all likelihood, Greenhart or CCA pressure-treated Southern
Yellow Pine (SYP) piles with new split caps and braces of the same SYP
materials. These members will be a minimum of 3 x 8's and more often,
3 x 10's with at least one 3A" bolt per connection, and in many cases, two
%" bolts per connection.
This pier is a fixed, pile-supported timber structure with a float and
therefore will not adversely affect the free circulation of water or reduce
the effects of fluctuating water levels in Darbie's Cove. In addition, the
pier does not present any adverse modification of the shoreline. The pier's
elevation is such that in extreme high flood tides the structure will be
inundated. The structure's SYP timber materials are specifically grown
for this purpose and are capable of withstanding full immersion and
represent the standard of the industry. With the connections described
above, this structure will be able to survive repeated inundations and even
direct waves at high tide elevations with a structural life of 10 to 20 years.
The pier support will include driving new piles at 1 O-foot intervals to the
maximum extent possible in order to obtain the desired pier alignment and
5
o
o
support The use of CCA pressure-treated timbers can
be approved for this project in accordance with Local Law 6.
The pier and float will not be decked with CCA pressure-treated Southern
Pine. This pier / walkway provides a safe pedestrian surface for access to
the berthed boat. Rails may be installed on the pier for safety.
The pier is almost centered on the property. The 15-foot clearance
specified in this paragraph should not be an issue because the proposed
pier does not represent a significant encroachment into the pier and
boating operation area of Mr.& Mrs. Richard Baker to the south or Mr. &
Mrs. Elbert Burr to the west nor does it project into the navigation way for
other boaters in the cove. The property line extension on the north side of
the Baker's land diverges away from the logical line of littoral
development rights which is drawn based on the centerline of Darbie's
Cove. The float width of 8 feet is considered necessary and appropriate
for boating safety because of the broadside exposure to waves from the
north and inherent float stability.
Upon receipt of the permit for this project, appropriate permit numbers
and a Town permit placard will be affixed to the most seaward face of the
pier for identification from the water.
There are no permanent structures located above the pier decking nor are
any planned at this time other than the power post and railing which are
fixed by function.
It is currently possible to provide a five-foot passage way on the upland to
get around this pier and that access ability will be retained landward of the
fringe marsh. There is room to walk under the pier at low tide, however,
foot traffic in this area is rare, if at all.
NEW YORK STATE COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
These application documents include a copy of the Federal Consistency Assessment
Form utilized for the New York State Coastal Management Program under the jurisdiction of
the New York State Department of State. The following policies have been identified as
pertinent to this application and the reason for consistency associated with this project is
outlined in each respective case.
Policy 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to construct a fully functional water
dependent use, a recreational boating dock facility at this site in support of recreational boating.
Policy 5 -Use of Existing Developed Shorefront- There is no developed shoreline on this site.
This project utilizes existing shomfront which has been altered by a fallen tree which has
diminished resources such as growth of tidal wetlands vegetation. The project will be to build
a pier and extend it to a logical shoreward terminus to make it safe and reliably usable in most
weather conditions.
Policy 7 - Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Protection of significant fish and wildlife
habitat has been considered in the development of this project layout. The dock to the
6
shoreward point of beginnl~ will be over vegetated shoreline fringe-"Tour feet above the rocky
intertidal sediments and should not jeopardize the integrity of existing spartina fringe outcrops.
Typically there is a slight environmental benefit to the project because of the creation of
structure in the water column where barnacles, algae and crustaceans will inhabit.
Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has also
been considered in this project and the dock structure is being kept to its minimal configuration
and of materials consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the
Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004 set forth by the Town of Southold and standards of the NYS DEC.
Removal of the fallen tree will allow for restoration of vegetation along the shore and thus
improve habitat.
Policy 11 - Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The dock construction project has been
laid out in such a way so as to minimize damage to natural resources as identified in Policy 7
above. The dock facility has been sited in the area where the fallen tree has already impacted
shoreline vegetation. Removal of the tree will therefore benefit the tidal wetlands vegetation
and the pier, by comparison, will have rather minimal adveme impacts.
Policy 14 - No Measurable Increase in Flooding - This project consists of construction of an
open wood pile and timber pier which in no way adversely affects waterflow and circulation in
Darbie's Cove or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels all around Fishers Island are
dictated by water levels in Long Island Sound, Fishers Island Sound and Block Island Sound
and this structure will have no adverse influence on those levels.
Policy 15 - No Dredging - Dredging is not required in this project. The floating dock system
has been laid out in its current location and configuration to avoid any dredging requirements.
The depth of 4 feet as generally recommended by the NYS DEC has been reached. The waters
are protected enough that boats can be berthed bow to shore leaving the motor out in the deeper
water. The float and the bow of the boat will not ground out at low tide.
Policy 19 - Impact on Public Access - Public access will not be jeopardized or impeded as a
result of this project. As a matter of fact, there is almost no public access usage of the public
trust lands or waters at this site. The intertidal zone is significantly covered by boulders and
tidal wetlands fringe marsh vegetation and the shallow sub-tidal waters do not present any
opportunity or enticement for public access in the area. The pier and float occupy the landward
25% of the waterway width in accordance with US ACOE policies. Thus, public access to the
State's lands and waters will not be adversely affected by the project.
Policy 20 - Public Trust Compatibility with Existing Adjoining Properties and Land Uses-
Public Trust compatibility with existing adjoining properties and land uses have also been
considered in this project. Several nearby properties have small docking facilities similar to
this one and this docking facility will not interfere with existing or the likely configuration of
future facilities on inunediately adjoining properties or the logical allocation of littoral
development rights.
Policy 21 - Water Dependent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent
recreational opportunities policies set forth in this section.
Policy 24 -Scenic Resources, Impairment or Loss - This policy is designed to prevent
impairment or loss of scenic resources. The construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier
will not represent a new encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic
7
resources. The elevated in[oard landing section of the pier will belargely over-shadowed by
the tree growth, the spartina fringe marsh on the site on the concave shorelands.
Policy 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic Quality - The new dock structure will be consistent with
the scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24
above.
Policy 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - It is acknowledged that the fragmented
fringe marsh of spartina altema flora along the shorefront is a valuable resource. The
construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier has taken advantage of the existing un-
vegetated strip of the shoreline caused by the fallen tree in order to avoid adverse wetlands
impact. The raised height of the pier should allow opportunities for the growth of the spartina
fringe marsh naturally up to, and to an extent, beneath the wood pier once the fallen tree is
removed.

The proposed structure is a fixed wood pile and timber pier and floating dock facility with tie-off piles.
The only visual access affected by this project is across Darbie's Cove but the visual impact will not be
significant because of the wooded bank and vegetated background. The dock facility is a typical
recreational boating facility and typical of other such facilities along the shoreline and on adjacent or
nearby properties.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See
LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
The pier and float system is located in Darbie's Cove and is acknowledged to be in a ftood-prone area;
there is some wave exposure at this site even storms or fronts generate northerly winds.. The pier will
be designed to accommodate complete submersion and resist hydrostatic uplift pressures due to
flooding. The float width of 8 feet is considered necessary and appropriate for this site, wave exposure
and the inherent stability of floating docks.
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP
Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
This proiect will not have any affect on suitability of or availability of drinking water on Fishers Island.
Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems
including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III -
Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria.
X Yes __ No ~ Not Applicable
3
This project is consistent with this policy because it maintains the elevation of the pier landing to an
acceptable height above the bottom sediments through which adjacent tidal wetlands may spread
(although they exist sporadically at the dock site currently). In addition, the NYS DEC prepared a study
showing that the proposed pressure-treated Southern Pine timber products construction materials are
suitable for this type of project in this location, except for decking which will be of untreated woods or
composite (or plastic) materials.
The design parameters shown on the drawings provides an optimum balance between acceptable design
and access standards and restore opportunities for the wetlands vegetation to spread. The pier
encourages habitat enhancement by providing some limited structure through the intertidal zone.
Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III -
Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria.
__ Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There are no air quality issues related to this proiect. No emissions will be generated by the dock
facility.
Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southoid from solid waste and
hazardous substances and wastes. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for
evaluation criteria.
__ Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There is no solid waste or hazardous substances to be generated from this project. The pressure-treated
wood trimmings from the dock construction will be collected and disposed of in accordance with current
regulations so as to minimize harmful affects.
PUBLIC COAST POLICIES
Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and
public resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section IIl- Policies; Pages 38 through 46
for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This project is being built on private land. The public trust lands and waters constitutes the area
between the mean high water line and mean low water line and the resources are from the high tide line,
out. These environmental resources are being protected by the design standards dictated by the NYS
DEC. There is virtually no public use of the waterfront in this area and the construction of the pier to a
landing above the apparent high water line is not likely to influence or change this fact.
4
WORKING COAST POLICIES
Policy 10. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water-dependent
uses in suitable locations. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation
criteria.
X Yes No __ Not Applicable
This project is to build a wood pile and timber pier and install a new ramp onto a floating dock for
water-dependent, recreational and transportation boating. This usage is defined as water-dependent in
the LWRP because the pier and float for recreational boating and will provide occasional boat
transportation access to the mainland. The pier has been sited along the northerly edge of the area
covered by a fallen tree which has shielded the bank and bottom sediments for a couple of years. Thus
the pier site will minimize habitat impact. The pier elevation should provide an opportunity for tidal
wetlands vegetation to re-establish itself even up to and beneath the pier.
Policy 11. Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound the Peconic
Estuary and Town waters. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 57 through 62 for evaluation
criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This pier is not used for commemial fishing or shellfish industries or enterprises.
Policy 12. Protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies;
Pages 62 through 65 for evaluation criteria.
Yes No X Not Applicable
This pier is not used for or in support of any agricultural or aquaculture industries or enterprises.
Policy 13. Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral sources. See LWRP
Section III - Policies; pages 65 through 68 for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This pier is not used for or in support of any energy or mineral mining or processing operations.

Re: Draft Application
James Baker, Peninsula Road
Dear Mr. King:
Attached is a copy of the draft final application documents for a new fixed pier and
float'mg dock for Mr. James Baker adjacent to his parent's property (Mr.& Mrs. Richard Baker)
just north of Peninsula Road off Darbie's Creek on Fishers Island. We have not yet subn~/tted
these applications but I understand and you and Mr. Chuck Hamilton of the NYS DEC will be
conducting a tour of various projects on the island on Wednesday, December 13'. I respectfully
request that you take a look at this project during your rounds, if at all possible just in case Mr.
Hamilton can't get back out to Fishers Island in the immediate future. We plan to ~bmit the
application later in December for a hearing in January.
Whil~jomage out at Fishers Island I hope that you will have a chance to look at Linda
Borden's application and keep in mind that she has requested a skewed stairway, skewed to the
west because of concerns expressed by the Chapoton's, her neighbor to the east. We also have
applications for Peter Baccile pending with the DEC and review of that site would help move
that project along as well. In regards to these two applications, both permits were issued by the
Town in February. Is there an expiration date that we are working against or is the permit valid
for a number of years?
I look forward to heari~ng from you. Please let me know if you'd like me to be present for
any part of your visit on the 13 . I would have to leave Fishers Island on the noon boat in oxder
to get back to the mainland in time to take the Cross Sound Ferry to Orient Point for the meeting
that night on Susanna Doyle. Incidently, the Doyle's public notice posting was set today at their
property and photos were e-mailed to Lauren Standish of your office.
Yours truly,

Appendix A
State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or actien may
be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of
a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have I~ie or no formal
knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge
in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of signir~ance.
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the deim~mination process
has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of ioformation to fit a project or action.
Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts:
Part 1: Provides objective data and info~catien about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists
a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance
as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The
fo~n also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is
actually important.
THIS AREA FOR LEAD AGENCY USE ONLY
DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE - Type I and Unlisted Actions
Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and
considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that:
r-lc.
The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and. therefore, is one which will not have a
significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared.
Although the project could have a signif,-.ant effect on the environment, there will not be a signit'~cant effect
for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore
a CONDITIONED negative daclaratkm will be prepared.*
The project may result in one or more large and impoCu3nt impacts that may have a signifk:ant impact on the
envffo~ment, therefore a positive dedaration ~ be prepared.
*A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions

X Yes __ No __ Not Applicable
This dock facility construction project makes appropriate use of an existing waterfront access dock site
and complies with environmental design factors published by the NYS DEC, and the DOS Coastal
Management Program, Southold Local Law No. 6, 2004 and the Southold LWRP. The pier will be
raised to a 4-foot dock clearance over the bottom sediments until passing the landward limit of the
adjacent spartina fringe marsh, then ramp to shore. Piles and rails will be four feet above the deck.
There will be no impairment of waterflow or navigation.

Policy 3. Enhance visual Oity and protect scenic resources tt~ghout the Town of Southold.
See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria
· Yes __ No X Not Applicable
The proposed structure is a fixed wood pile and timber pier and floating dock facility with fie-off piles.
The only visual access affected by this project is across Darbie's Cove but the visual impact will not be
significant because of the wooded bank and vegetated back~ound. The dock facility is a typical
recreational boating facility and typical of other such facilities along the shoreline and on adjacent or
nearby properties.
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See
LWRP Section III - Policies Pages $ through 16 for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
The pier and float system is located in Darbie's Cove and is acknowledged to be in a flood-prone area;
there is some wave exposure at this site even storms or fronts generate northerly winds.. The pier will
be designed to accommodate complete submersion and resist hydrostatic uplift pressures due to
flooding. The float width of 8 feet is considered necessary and appropriate for this site, wave exposure
and the inherent stability of floating docks.
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southoid. See LWRP
Section 1II - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
This project will not have any affect on suitability of or availability of drinking water on Fishers Island.
Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southoid ecosystems
including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III -
Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria.
X Yes __ No __ Not Applicable
This project is consistent with this policy because it maintains the elevation of the pier landing to an
acceptable height above the bottom sediments through which adiacent tidal wetlands may spread
(although they exist sporadically at the dock site currently). In addition, the NYS DEC prepared a study
showing that the proposed pressure-treated Southern Pine timber products construction materials are
suitable for this type of project in this location, except for decking which will be of untreated woods or
composite (or plastic) materials.
The design parameters shown on the drawings provides an optimum balance between acceptable desien
and access standards and restore opportunities for the wetlands vegetation to spread. The pier
encourages habitat enhancement by providing some limited structure through the intertidal zone.
Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III -
Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There are no air quality issues related to this proiect. No emissions will be generated by the dock
facility.
Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and
hazardous substances and wastes. See LWRP Section Ill - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for
evaluation criteria.
Yes __ No X Not Applicable
There is no solid waste or hazardous substances to be generated from this project. The pressure-treated
wood trimmings from the dock construction will be collected and disposed of in accordance with current
regulations so as to minimize harmful affects.
PUBLIC COAST POLICIES
Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and
public resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 38 through 46
for evaluation criteria.
Yes ~ No X Not Applicable
This project is being built on private land. The public trust lands and waters constitutes the area
between the mean high water line and mean low water line and the resources are from the high tide line,
ont. These environmental resources are being protected by the design standards dictated by the NYS
DEC. There is virtually no public use oftbe waterfront in this area and the construction of the pier to a
landin~ above the apparent high water tine is not likely to influence or change this fact.

This project is to build a wood pile and timber pier and install a new ramp onto a floating dock for
water-dependent, recreational and transportation boating. This usage is defined as water-dependent in
the LWRP because the pier and float for recreational boating and will provide occasional boat
transportation access to the mainland. The pier has been sited along the northerly edge of the area
covered by a fallen tree which has shielded the bank and bottom sediments for a couple of years. Tbne
the pier site will minimize habitat impact. The pier elevation should provide an opportuni~ for tidal
wetlands vegetation to re-establish itself even up to and beneath the pier.

JAMES BAKER
DARBIE'S COVE, FISHERS ISLAND
NARRATIVE STATEMENT & SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
NOVEMBER 27, 2006
GENERAL
Mr. James Baker owns parcel 1000-10-05-09 off Peninsula Road located off the east
shore of Darbie's Cove on Fishers Island. The site is generally moderately sloped, sandy
gravel earthen materials, vegetated with grass, brush, ground cover and trees. The frontage of
the property is approximately 300 feet along Darbie's Cove at the southerly end abutted by the
Flower family to the north and Mr. & Mrs. Richard Baker, the applicant's parents to the south.
The waterfront consists of a rock covered beach with tidal wetlands vegetation at the base of
the steeply sloped coastal bluff in the vicinity of the pier. There is a large fallen tree along the
shore; the tree will be removed as part of this project. The new pier is proposed along the
north edge &the fallen tree.
It is the Baker's desire to build a fixed pier and install a new hinged ramp to a floating
dock system. The new pier will go from an end elevation of five feet, sloping upward and
crossing over the intertidal zone at a typical height of four feet above the bottom sediments
until reaching a finished elevation and then a level landing to shore at an elevation of about 8
feet..
This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Town of Southold, Ordinance No. 6, 2004, related to docks and shorefront improvements. In
addition, various coastal policies under the New York State Coastal Management Act are
addressed herein for review by the New York State Department of State and Department of
Environmental Conservation.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to construct a fixed wood
pile and timber pier from the shore out into Darbie's Cove in accordance with existing
guidelines set forth in the Town of Southold ordinance No. 6, 2004.
It is envisioned that this structure will be built utilizing the following general sequence
and methodology.
The marine contractor will arrive by water with barge-mounted crane and push boats.
The fallen tree will be cut up and materials will be deposited on shore landward of the
apparent high water line or in a barge-based dumpster for removal from the site and the
island.
New piles will be driven starting at the new shore landing end of the pier and
proceeding waterward at roughly 10-foot intervals to the waterward end of the pier
approximately 62 feet from the apparent high water line. These piles will be driven by
double-acting air hammer to a beating resistance of approximately 20 tons. This
generally results in about ten feet of embedment of the pile in the bearing stratum.
These piles will be 12-inch nominal diameter measured at three feet from the butt.
After the piles are installed, split caps (also referred to as split clamps) consisting of a
pair of pressure treated Southern Pine timbers ranging fi.om 3 x 10 to 4 x 12 nominal
dimension, will be bolted to the piles transversely forming a pile bent. Stringers will
be then laid on the split caps parallel to the length of the pier. In all likelihood, three
runs of stringers will be set and will probably consist of 3 x 10 pressure-treated
Southern PIne.
The outer stringer on each side will be bolted or spiked to the pile to take care of any
uplift forces that this pier might be exposed to.
After the stringers have been connected to the piles and split caps, the decking will be
installed in accordance with Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6, 2004. This decking
will not be CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine but rather oak, cedar hardwood or
plastic / composite such as Timber Tech or similar material with the brushed side
mounted up. If Timber Tech, it will be either gray, brown or natural in color. Decking
will be attached to the stringers utilizing galvanized nails or stainless steel flathead
square-drive wood screws about 3 inches long and will be set with a ¼" gap between
members. The over-water decking will mn level at an elevation of five feet above
MLW or to clear four feet above the existing bottom sediments with a slope upward at
approximately 1 foot vertically per 10 feet horizontally maximum, or less, paralleling
as closely as possible the slope of the existing intertidal zone until reaching the
finished elevation beyond (landward) of tidal wetlands vegtetation. At this point the
decking will level offas a landing and run straight to the shore.
The piles will be about four feet above the deck surface and have horizontal rail
members mounted to them.
A rail of cedar, oak, hardwood or Timber Tech material will be installed for safety.
A new hinged ramp will be installed at the dockside end of the pier so as to land on the
float. This will be a wood ramp, made of pressure-treated framing and posts with non-
CCA wood or Timber Tech decking, or the ramp will be aluminum.
Water and electricity will be mn out on the pier in the space between the stringers so
that trickle chargers and / or bilge pumps on the boats may be powered during tie-ups.
The water will allow boats to be rinsed off after usage. A power post with an internal
light will be mounted to the end of the fixed pier with receptacles to provide power to
the boats from extension cords. The power post will also have a coiling arm for
storage of the hose between uses. Because the dock may be used during the hours of
darkness, low-intensity lights will be mounted on staggered piles or dock rail posts to
illuminate the walking surface. This system will be manually or radio controlled with
a shut-off timer so that the lights will only be on when necessary for safety of the
users.
REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE WETLANDS LAW 6~ 2004
The permittee acknowledges that the validity of this permit is subject to the
approval of other governmental or municipal authorities.
The permittee does, by the acceptance of this permit, assume all responsibility for
operations undertaken pursuant to this permit, and shall take all precautions for the
prevention of injuries to persons and property resulting fi.om such operations. By such
acceptance, the permittee also agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Town and its
officers.
2
The permitte~ives consent to the Town and its office"~, employees and agents to
enter upon the premises where such operations are being conducted to make such
inspections to determine whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with
the permit.
The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of
any and all operations.
The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing upon completion of operations
such that the site can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance.
In response to Sub-section 2a and the General Rules for Standards of Residential
and Commercial Docks, the following additional information is offered.
Permits for the work are being applied for through the Town, US ACOE,
NYS DEC and a coastal zone consistency determination by the NYS DOS.
The new piles to be installed will be of sturdy, durable and stable
materials; in all likelihood, Greenhart or CCA pressure-treated Southern
Yellow Pine piles with new braces of the same materials. These members
will be a minimum of 3 x 8's and more often, 3 x 10's with at least one
%" bolt per connection, and in many cases, two 3/4" bolts per connection.
This pier is a fixed, pile-supported timber structure with a float and
therefore will not adversely affect the free circulation of water or reduce
the effects of fluctuating water levels in Darbie's Cove. In addition, the
pier does not present any adverse modification of the shoreline. The pier's
elevation is such that in extreme high flood tides the structure will be
inundated. The structure's timber materials are specifically grown for this
purpose and and are capable of withstanding full immersion and represent
the standard of the industry. With the connections described above, this
structure will be able to survive repeated inundations and even direct
waves at high tide elevations.
The pier support will include driving new piles at 10-foot intervals to the
maximum extent possible in order to obtain the desired pier alignment and
support intervals. The use of CCA pressure-treated piles and timbers can
be approved for this project in accordance with Local Law 6.
The pier and float will not be decked with CCA pressure-treated Southern
Pine. This pier / walkway provides a safe pedestrian surface for access to
the berthed boat. Rails may be installed on the pier for safety.
The pier is almost centered on the property. The 15-foot clearance
specified in this paragraph should not be an issue because this project does
not involve any encroachment into the pier construction and boat
operation area of Mr. & Mrs. Richard Baker to the south. (the applicant's
parents or Mr. & Mrs. Elbert Burr to the west) The property line
extension on the north side of the Baker's land diverges away from the
logical line of littoral development rights which is drawn based on the
centerline of Darbie's Cove. The float width of 8 feet is considered
3
o
g°
°
necessary and appropriate for boating safety because of the broadside
exposure to waves from the north and inherent float stability.
Upon receipt of the permit for this project, appropriate permit numbers
and a Town permit placard will be affixed to the most seaward face of the
pier for identification from the water.
There are no permanent structures located above the pier decking nor are
any planned at this time other than the power post and railing which are
fixed by function.
It is currently possible to provide a five-foot passage way on the upland to
get around this pier and that access ability will be retained landward of the
fringe marsh. There is room to walk under the pier at low tide. Foot
traffic in this area is rare, if at all.
NEW YORK STATE COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
These application documents include a copy of the Federal Consistency Assessment
Form utilized for the New York State Coastal Management Program under the jurisdiction of
the New York State Department of State. The following policies have been identified as
pertinent to this application and the reason for consistency associated with this project is
outlined in each respective case.
Policy 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to construct a fully functional water
dependent use, a recreational boating dock facility at this site in support of recreational boating.
Policy 5 - Use of Existing Developed Shorefront - There is no developed shoreline on this site.
This project utilizes existing shorefront which has been altered by a fallen tree which has
diminished resources such as growth of tidal wetlands vegetation. The project will be to build
a pier and extend it to a logical shoreward terminus to make it safe and reliably usable in most
weather conditions.
Policy 7 - Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Protection of significant fish and wildlife
habitat has been considered in the development of this project layout. The dock to the
shoreward point of beginning will be over vegetated shoreline fringe four feet above the rocky
intertidal sediments and should not jeopardize the integrity of existing spartina fringe outcrops.
Typically there is a slight environmental benefit to the project because of the creation of
structure in the water column where barnacles, algae and crustaceans will inhabit.
Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has also
been considered in this project and the dock structure is being kept to its minimal configuration
and of materials consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the
Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004 set forth by the Town of Southold and standards of the NYS DEC.
Removal of the fallen tree will allow for restoration of vegetation along the shore and thus
improve habitat.
4
Policy 11 - Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The dock construction project has been
laid out in such a way so as to minimize damage to natural resources as identified in Policy 7
above. The dock facility has been sited in the area where the fallen tree has already impacted
shoreline vegetation. Removal of the tree will therefore benefit the tidal wetlands vegetation
and the pier, by comparison, will have rather minimal adverse impacts.
Policy 14 - No Measurable Increase in Flooding - This project consists of construction of an
open wood pile and timber pier which in no way adversely affects watenqow and circulation in
Darbie's Cove or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels ail around Fishers Island are
dictated by water levels in Long Island Sound, Fishers Island Sound and Block Island Sound
and this structure will have no adverse influence on those levels.
Policy 15 - No Dredging - Dredging is not required in this project. The floating dock system
has been laid out in its current location and configuration to avoid any dredging requirements.
The depth of 4 feet as generally recommended by the NYS DEC has been reached. The waters
are protected enough that boats can be berthed bow to shore leaving the motor out in the deeper
water. The float and the bow of the boat will not ground out at low tide.
Policy 19 - Impact on Public Access - Public access will not be jeopardized or impeded as a
result of this project. As a matter of fact, there is almost no public access usage of the public
trust lands or waters at this site. The intertidal zone is significantly covered by boulders and
tidal wetlands fringe marsh vegetation and the shallow sub-tidal waters do not present any
opportunity or enticement for public access in the area. The pier and float occupy the landward
25% of the waterway width in accordance with US ACOE policies. Thus, public access to the
State's lands and waters will not be adversely affected by the project.
Policy 20 - Public Trust Compatibility with Existing Adioining Properties and l.and Uses-
Public Trust compatibility with existing adjoining properties and land uses have also been
considered in this project. Several nearby properties have small docking facilities similar to
this one and this docking facility will not interfere with existing or the likely configuration of
future facilities on immediately adjoining properties or the logical allocation of littoral
development rights.
Policy 21 - Water Dependent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent
recreational opportunities policies set forth in this section.
Policy 24 -Scenic Resources, Impairment or Loss - This policy is designed to prevent
impairment or loss of scenic resources. The construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier
will not represent a new encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic
resources. The elevated inboard landing section of the pier will be largely over-shadowed by
the tree growth, the spartina fringe marsh on the site on the concave shoretands.
Policy 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic Quality - The new dock structure will be consistent with
the scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24
above.
5
Policy 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - It is acknowledged that the fragmemed
fringe marsh of spartina altema flora along the shorefront is a valuable resource. The
construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier has taken advantage of the existing un-
vegetated strip of the shoreline caused by the fallen tree in order to avoid adverse wetlands
impact. The raised height of the pier should allow opportunities for the growth of the spartina
fringe marsh naturally up to, and to an extent, beneath the wood pier once the fallen tree is
removed.
SUMMARY
This project proposes a new fixed pier and float for recreational boating access of
property of the James Baker family on Fishers Island. A copy of all US Army Corps of
Engineers, NYS DEC and Town of Southold applications are attached as substantiation
for this project.
This project complies with applicable standards of the New York State Coastal
Management Act and Local Ordinance No. 6, 2004 and its approval is respectfully
requested.
Respectfully submitted,
