Present Were: Absent Were: Peter Young, Acting-Chairman Jack McGreevy, Member Doug Hardy, Member James Eckert, Member Anne Trimble, Member Scott Worth, Student Member Lauren Standish, Secretary Dave Bergen, Trustee Don Wilder, Chairman CALL TO ORDER Acting Chairman Peter Young called the meeting to order at 4:45 PM. REPORTS Trustee Dave Bergen reported on a recent Town Board discussion on the issue of docks on the bay. The Town Board held a worksession on Tues., March 10tb. Mark Terry, Scott Hilary, and members of the Board of Trustees were in attendance. It was discussed that certain areas should be exempt from a ban of docks, such as M1 and M2 zones, the Orient Harbor shoreline, and yacht and boat clubs that have been established for educational purposes. These and the other areas would still have to apply for a permit and 2 meet the dock test. There was also a discussion on possibly limiting the lengths of docks to 80' from high tide and the dock would start 3' below mean high tide, to allow for public access. Where a bulkhead exists, the dock must have stairs. In addition, it will be required to reach a 4' depth at Iow tide and 15' dia. around. The height must be 3' above high-tide and constructed with open-grate decking. There was consideration for no longer allowing CCA on the pilings in the Bay, but the group agreed that is was an issue that could be addressed at a later date. Trustee Bergen provided the members of the CAC with an update on dredging. All dredging ended in January and will start up again in October. Member Jack McGreevy stated that Down's Creek was in need of dredging. It was suggested that he pursue the matter the Dredging Advisory Committee for consideration. Acting-Chairman Peter Young suggested he draft a memo and bring it back to the meeting next month for review by the other CAC members. NEW BUSINESS Acting-Chairman Peter Young introduced the members to a marine antifouling agent called Econa. It is a metal-free antifouling agent for use in antifouling coatings on the underwater part of a ship and boat hulls or static marine structures, and offers many environmental advantages. He recommends our local boating community utilize these paints and suggests the Town offer possible incentives. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Actihg-Chairman Peter Young hosted a power-point presentation on the use of a GPS, with a focus on marine use.
