(631) 765-1809 Fax (631) 765-9064 ~ ~,~ .RECEIVED%L~ FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION $oulho[d Town (~ler[i MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 2009 ZB File No. 6326 - Chris Meskouris Property Location: 1400 Sound Beach Drive, Mattituck adjacent lo Long Island Sound CTM 106-1-35.1 SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under consideration in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of the State's List of Actions, without further steps under SEQRA. SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated August 19, 2009 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject property is a non-conforming 6,045 (from the coastal erosion line) sq. ft. lot in the R-40 District. It measures 50:23 ft wide along Sound Beach Drive and Long Island Sound and 227.65 ff. deep from the road to the Tie Line. It is improved with a single family dwelling and wood decks. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances under Section 280-124 based on the Building Inspector's revised July 16, 2009 Notice of Disapproval concerning a new pergola and new patio (after removal of deck) with a setback at less than 10 feet on a single side yard, less than 25 feet on total side yards, and exceeding the code limitation of 20% lot coverage on this 6,045 square feet lot (measured from the Coastal Erosion Line). LWRP: TOWN CODE CHAPTER 268: This application has been reviewed under 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 us, it is our recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. Page 2 - December 3, 2009 ZB File No. 6326 - Chris Meskouris CTM No. 106-1-35.1 FINDINGS OF FACT The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on October 29, 2009, at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the property, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant: AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant proposes to remove an existing at grade wood deck and replace it with a stone patio and construct a wood framed open air pergola on the seaward (Northern) side of the house over the stone patio. The pergola is proposed at 10.7 ft. high x 43 ft long running along the north (seaward) elevation of the dwelling, and projecting 15 ft. from the northern wall of the house, and wrapping around the easterly side of the house for an additional 19.5 ft. x 13.6 ft wide to cover the easterly side yard. It will maintain the non-conforming side yard setbacks of the existing wooden deck at .5 ft. single side yard and total side yard of 1 ft. It will reduce the existing non-conforming lot coverage of 45.4% to 43.6%. As shown on the site plan and elevation by Architecnologies dated 5-28-09 sheets A-1.E and A-1. AMENDED APPLICATION: During the hearing, the applicant was asked by the Board of Appeals to reduce the depth of the pergola so as to permit its efficient functioning as a sun-shading device but also to reduce the potential adverse impact of the proposed pergola on the consistent seaward setbacks of the adjacent and other existing houses in the neighborhood. On November 9, 2009 the applicant's architect, Frank Notaro, submitted an amended plan decreasing the depth of the proposed pergola from 9.7 ft. to 9.3 ft. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION; A previous variance was granted to James Meskouris by the Board of Appeals on December 15, 1987 (Appeal no. 3704) to permit the construction of the existing wood deck with the condition that it remain "open, unroofed, and unenclosed at all times as proposed herein." REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted and personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings: 1. Town Law ,~267-b(3)(b)(3)(1). Grant of the variance as applied for and in the amended plan submitted will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. Most homes in the area have excessive lot coverage because they were originally small seasonal cottages built on narrow lots. Many homes in the neighborhood have been improved and enlarged for year round use like the applicant's home. However, the pergola, as proposed, is a large vertical structure projecting beyond the seaward wall (north) of the home toward Long Island Sound, which currently does not exist in the area which is characterized by seaward decks and patios that are open to the sky. Alternate relief will bring the proposed pergola more in tine with the seaward setbacks of the neighboring dwellings, and will lessen adverse impacts on the character of the neighborhood. 2. Town Law ,~267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant as applied for and in the amended plan submitted can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance as requested. The benefit sought can be achieved by the alternative relief granted herein. Page 3 - December 3, 2009 ZB File No. 6326 - Chris Meskouris CTM No. 106-1-35.1 3. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(3). The variance granted herein is substantial insofar as the previous variance granted by the Board of Appeals on December 15, 1987 (appeal no. 3704) required that the existing deck remains open to the sky. Although the proposed pergola is an open air wood framed structure that is unroofed and unenclosed, its proposed size and vertical mass does not comply with the intent of the 1987 variance. 4. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created. The applicant's request for a variance is purely personal in nature and, as such, constitutes an improper basis for a land use approval. Personal convenience, in this instance the construction of a pergola to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the applicant's dwelling and provide sun shading, is not a basis for a Board to grant an applicant's requested relief, especially where, as here, the requested relief is substantial and is detrimental to the character of the surrounding community. 5. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(4). No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community, as granted by the alternative relief provided herein, will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. There will be no roof runoff since the structure is unroofed. 6. Town Law §267-b. Grant of alternative relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of a pergola while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Weisman, seconded by Member Schneider, and duly carried, to DENY the variances as applied for as shown on the site plan and elevation by Architecnologies dated 5-28-09 sheets A-1 .E and A-l, and DENY the variances as applied for in the amended plan by Architecnologies dated 10-9-09 and GRANT ALTERNATIVE RELIEF as noted below: 1. Remove the condition imposed in ZBA Appeal no. 3704 (December 15, 1987) which granted the construction of a wood deck (now existing) with the condition that it remain "open, unroofed, and unenclosed at all times as proposed herein." 2. The maximum projection (depth) of the proposed pergola from the northerly (seaward) wall of the existing dwelling shall be no greater than 6 (six) feet at any point to the outer limits of the overhang. 3. The pergola shall project no more than 6.4 ft from the west wall of the dwelling and no more than 13.6 ft. from the east wall as proposed on the site plan by Architecnologies dated 11-9-09. Page 4 - December 3, 2009 ZB File No. 6326 - Chris Meskouris CTM No. 106-1-35.1 Conditions: 1. A final site plan and elevations for the proposed pergola and patio showing the alternative relief described herein with a recalculation of the final lot coverage shall be submitted to the Board of Appeals for stamping and filing prior to the issuance of a building permit. 2. The pergola as granted through alternative relief shall remain open, unroofed and unenclosed at alt times 3. No other vertical structure shall be permitted on the seaward side of the applicant's dwelling by virtue of this variance, other than the pergola described herein That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Cert(ficate of Occupancy, when issued.

TeNyenhuis RICT MANAGER 1727-2~15x3 Re: ZBA#6326 (Meskouris, Chris & Maryann) Dear Chairman Goehringer: A site review was completed for property of Chris and Maryann Meskouris addressing the proposed construction of the pergola. The house is situated behind slightly sloping beach on Long Island Sound. The house is fitted with gutters, downspouts and drywelts and no associated erosion is apparent. The wooden bulkhead is in good condition and the concrete block wail identified on the diagram was not visible, as it was covered in sand. The area where the pergola is proposed, is in stable condition. Of concern was that no vegetation exists on the upper sandy area of beach between the house and above the high tide line. It appears that this area is used for recreational activities (boat and ATV storage, sunbathing etc). Although no active erosion ofthebeach is currently apparent, efforts should be employed to revegetate this area to protect the shoreline and house fi.om erosive storm events. Such vegetation helps hold the soils in place, thereby buffering the impact ofthe storm and preventing erosion. Revegetation above the high tide line is recommended and can easily occur at this property; similar to what is found on the western property, with the imerplanting of"Cape" American Beach Grass, Spartina patens, Seaside Goldenrod, Switchgrass, Coastal Little Bluestem, Partridge Pea, and Beach pea. Planting of the above noted species should be followed as documented in the enclosed "Dune standard". In this instance, revegctation, not the establishment of a high dune is the goal. Therefore, the Dune standard should be referred to for the density and timing of the plantings listed in Vegetation A-C. Fertilizer rates are also enclosed in this document and should be utilized sparingly/with care to prevent leaching into Long Island Sound. 423GRIFFINOAVENUE I SUITEll0 ' RIVERI--IF~D, NYII901 These plants do not tolerate being tread upon, as the sand holds structure. When weight is put on these soils, it crushes the ruots of the plants, effectively killing the plains quickly. Therefore, at this location where a high degree of recreational activities are prevalent, a balance between vegetation and recreational activities should be achieved in order to protect the shoreline from erosion. If you have any questions regarding this site review or the subsequent recommendations, please feel free to contact my office, Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sincerely: _ ~ Soil District Technician 2009 PARTRIDGE PEA Chamaecrista fasciculata (Michx.)

The common sulfur buRerfly lays its e~,gs on the leaves, and the larvae uso the leaves as a food source. Erosion control: The plant can be used along road banks and stream banks to control erosion. Partridge pea most commonly oecttrs as a pioneer or colonizer of disturbed areas, Recreation and beau~ifieation: The flowers of this pleat can be used to beautify axeas where wildflowers are planted. The foliage is somewhat soasitive and will partially closo whea touched. Partridge pea is commonly grown as an onmmantal. The bright yellow flowers make it a popular choice for use in native gardens.

Alternate Names Cassia fascieulata, Michx., slecpmg plant, prairie partridge pea, showy partridge pea, prairie son~ large-flowered sensitive-pea, dwarf eassm, par~idge pea senna, locust weed, gnldea cassia Uses Wildlife: The soed is one of the major food itanls of nerthexa bobwhite and oth~ quail specias because it remains in sound condition throughout the wintex and early spring. Partridge pea was found to be one of the most importunt fall and winter foods of bobwhite qnail in Alabema. Pmqridge pea soeds ere kigh in phosphorus content and protein value, and low in crude fiber and lignm making digastibflity generally high. Seeds of this legmne are also eaten by the greater and lessex prairie-chicken, ring-necked pheasant, mallard, grassland birds, and field mice. Deer can eat it without being poisonad (note livestock use). Pert~dge pea often grows in dense stands, producing litter and plant stalks that finnish cover for upland gamebirds, small mammals, small nongame birds, and waterfowl. Partridge pea is considered ~ important honey plant, often occurring where few other honey plmts ere found. Nectar is not available in the flowers of Restoration: Partridge pea is consi&aed an excellent species for planting on disturbed areas for exosion control and unpmving soil feclihty. It es~abhahas rapidly, ftxas hitmgen, reseeds, and slowly decreases as other species in the soeding mix begin to dominate the site. Nilrogea f~atiun is greatest during the flowering stage. To belp preveat wead establishment and control soft erosion along county roadsides in Iowa, pertxidge pea is often included in the seed mix with other forbs and grasses.

The fruit is a slralght, narrewpod 1½to 2V~ inches long, which splits along 2 satoras as it dries; ~ pod sides spiral to expel the seeds. Dist,'buttOn: For current disttibution, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Habitat: Partridge pea grows on prairies, bluffs, riverbanks and fiver bottoms, as well as upland woods of the Great Plains. Partridge paa is common on sandy savannahs of thc lower Gulf Coastal Plain. Partridge pea is most common on sandy to sandy loam soils. It grows best in full sunlight but will survive under shady conditions. Partridge pea has low wa~er requirements and will grow and produce seed under stressed conditians. The lower pH limit of sbowy partridge pea is 5.0. Adaptation The USDA hardiness zones for showy parhSdge pea are 3 to 9. Showy pamidge is distributed throughout the eastern, midwestom, and southern United States. Establishment Drill seeds at 1/4 to 3/4 inch daep at a rate of 10-15 pounds of Pure live Seed (PLS) per acre. If broadcasting seeds, the rote should bo increased and seed covered by lightly disking or by cnlfipacking. Partridge pea can bo planted from late winter (Mamh) to late spring (May). Scmification will improve germination of seed, but it is not necessary to establish pluntings of partridge pea. Seed shonld also be inoculated with the correct rhizobial bacteria before planting. Fea~ilizer should bo applied ~t the recommended rote, based on soil samples, at time of pt~tm. Management Established stands should be disked lightly in the spring to expose mineral soil on which the seed can germinate. Partridge pee nsualty rcseedsbut will gradually disappear without regular mamtonance. Light disking to remove weeds, small brush, and old sod is neeese,~y for healthy stands. In areas where prescribed bunting is panmtted, controlled fire is an excellent method for controlling unwanted vegetation. Fire or disking should bo done in late winter for best results. Weeds can also bo con~rolled during the growing season by mowing over the top of parthdge pea plants. Seeds and lqant Production Showy par~ridge pea soed can bo moist stratified for 56 days to improve germination. Under con, relied conditions germination oocms at an alternating cycle of 30°C daytime and 15°C nighttime tampemtmes. The optimum soil ~tore for germination is 20°C to 30°12. Seventy percent of seeds will germinate in 7 to 25 days. The seed count of partridge pea is approximately 28,000 seeds per pound. Seed for la~duction fmlds should bo planted ¼ to % inches deep on raised beds 36-40 inches apart. The seeding rote for seed production is 2-3 pounds of pine live seed per acm. Being a legume that fixes nitrogen pom'idge pea only needs one 20-pound opplic~tion of phosphorous applied in the spring each year. Average seed production at the Knox City Plant Materiuls Center has boen ~ecorded at 550 pounds per acre. Partridge pea my be direct harvested with a combine or plants maybe swathed and combined a~er drying. Seeds are ready for harvest in lato October end November.

Nash plant symbol = SCSC Contributed by: Cape May Plant Materials Center Description Coastal blueste~n ( Schizachyrium scopanum var. littoralis) occ~s almost exclusively along the coastal sWip from southern New England to Texas. It isa short (1-2 foot) bunch grass with coarse blun-gresn stems and basal leaves which often appear purplish. Coastal bluestem is very similar to the inland little bluestem but can be distinguished by the bant stems at the base, whereas little bluestem stems are erect. Leaves are smooth, but frequanfly are covered with hair at the base next to the sheath. Leaves tend to fold with matarity. Sesd head clusters axe abuut three inches long and cun~lSt of a number of short, silvery hairs (awns) whan the seeds are ripe. In the iste summer to early fall a low son slanting across the seed heads of this grass give the plunt a frust7 aPlXarunce. As a warm season grass, it begins growth in late spring and con,hues through the hot summer period until the first killing fro~ The entire phat has a stems often pe~ist through the winter. Known distribution Uses Dune Stabt?ization: Coastal blueste~n is useful for adding plant divexsity to frontal back dune and secondary dune systems. It is especially well-suited for stab'fliz~4~ back dune "blow-out" Wildlife; This plant provides cover for ground birds and small mammals. Landscaping With its blue-green leaves during the growing season and ata~active n~ty color with white fluffy seedheads in the fall, coastul bluestem is useful as an ornmaental planting in coastal landscapes. Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site end youx State Department of Natund Resources for this plant's c~t status (e.g. threatuned or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Adaptation Coastal bluestem is veay well adapted to dry, well to exces~lvely drained, infertile secondmy dunes. It does not tolerate large mounts of sand accretion. This grass has excollant drought tolerance once established, some salt spray tolerance nad poor flood tolerance. It grows preferentially on sites with pH 7.0 and slightly Establishment Seeding methods for this species have not been developed for backdtme stal~flization, Chopping stems with mature seed attached into the send may result in some natural recmi~aent However, the most reliable method of establishment is planting plugs of this species on a 2-3 foot spacing betwesa rows ofbeachgrass. A soluble ferlilize~ such as 10-10-10 applied at the same rate as for American beeehgrass (200- 400 lbs./ac.) will be benaficial for stand establishmant of the coaslal bluestem. Management No special management requirements have been developed. Pests and Potential Problems There am no serious pests of coastal bluest~n.

Monarch Germplasm was assembled l~om collections throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. These collections were placed in a Latin Square crossing block in the field at the Plant Materials Center. The seed produced from this composite crossing block is broad-based genetic material suitable for dune planting and use throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Description of the Species Seaside goldenrod is a perennial forb typically three to five feet tall with dark green fleshy leaves produce abundantly along the entire length of the stem. The basal leaves are up to eight inches long and 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches wide tapering to less than one inch in length near the top of the stem. Stems arise bom short, stocky rhizomes. In late Februmy and early March, red leaves poke through the dune sand surface and soon become dark green. From late August to early October, the bright yellow flowers provide an attractive contrast to the lush, thick green vegetation. Winter identification is usually made by the bleached skeleton of woody-like stalk and dried flower parts. Goldenrod is insect pollinated, but is often blamed for inducing hay fever and conditions when the wind-pollinated ragweed is most likely the culprit. Adaptation Seaside goldenrod is a native, perennial forb well adapted to the backside of primary dunes, low secondary dunes and edges of salt marshes. The species is known to occur fi'om Maine, south to Florida and west to Indiana and Texas. The area of adaptation of Monarch Germplasm has not been fully tested. Successful plantings have been made along the Atlantic coast fi.om Cape Cod, MA to North Carolina. Because Monarch Germplasm is a composite Anticipated Area of Adaptation of colleetions from the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England states it should p~rform well throughout this region. Establishment Presently, the only developed method of propagation is by root stalk or propogol¢ division. Transplants should be made in late winter to early spring. Seeding has potential, but the technique has not been fully developed. Management Scaside goldcnrod requires little maintenance. Periodic fertilization of the dunes will hclp maintain vigor of thc vcgetation. American beachgrass growing in association wilh goldenrod will show signs of declinc when fertilization is ncedad long before the goldenrod shows dccreased vigor. In fact, seaside goldenrod off. eh volunteers in declining or dead stands of American beachgrass (Ammophila breveligulata).

Description: Coastal panicgrass is a tall, robust, native warm season perennial grass that spreads primarily by tillers, limited rhizomes and seed. Growth habit is upright and resembles a bunch grass, although it produces limited short rhizomes. Plant are bluish, green, leafy and multi-stemmed. Large quantities of viable seed are produced. Plant Distribution: Though saltmeadow cordgrass is found in the shaded states, 'Atlantic' is only recommended for use from Long Island NY to Texas. Prior to using any plant material determine its local I invasive status. I'~. ,% ~lf' I Coastal Systems and Coastal Panicgrass America's beautiful and diverse coastline attracts millions of tourists each year. The sand dune systems found along these shores are an inherent part of the tourist "experience." In addition to supporting an industry vital to the region, these dunes provide habitat for man5' species of wildlife. Duhng hurricanes and storms, sand dunes protect this habitat, our land, property and, at times, our very lives. Sand dunes erode by design as they absorb storm energies. In the eastern United States 'Atlantic' coastal panicgrass is widely used to stabilize dunes that protect our communities. Coastal panicgrass increases the protective values of sand dunes that serve and protect the American public and the needs of our diverse wildlife species. Plant Selection Process NRCS conducts its plant development activities in keeping with the philosophy of Dr. Franklin J. Crider, first leader of what is now the Plant Materials Program. Dr. Crider maintained that "in most cases, nature has evolved a plant for almost every growing condition." In developing 'Atlantic', NRCS used the Comparative Observation Evaluation process. Many populations of the same species were planted side by side in evaluation plots. Populations were observed and compared to each other. The population with promising traits and characteristics was isolated, increased, tested in multiple environments and released to the commercial nursery industry. Selection Attributes In a trial of 17 selections of the species from native stands, 'Atlantic' was found to have more seedling vigor, uniform characteristics and more resistant to rust. Origin 'Atlantic' originated from a naturally occurring stand located at the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge near Princess Anne, Virginia in 1955. Adaptation It is adapted to the coastal plain, and the pied- mont region from Massachusetts to Texas, and has proven to be winter hardy in areas where the average low temperature is bet~veen -10 and 0 degrees F. In coastal sand dune systems, 'Atlantic' coastal panicgrass occupies non-sand-accretion zones and the back dune areas. PMC staff members are working closely with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers on beach replenishment projects to refine the technique for directly seeding 'Atlantic' while installing 'Cape' American beachgrass on replenishment projects. Application and Uses USDA Conservation Programs Stabilizing wind blown sand Creating new dune systems Stabilizing beach replenishment projects Enabling natural succession on critical areas, gravel mines, mining spoil, coal gob piles, and many sites with hoffinfertile soils Establishment for Field Production Saltmeadox~ cordgrass production fields are established with vegetative divisions. Plantings units should consist of about 10-15 stems when using transplanter so that the rubber boot can hold the material. Installation can be accomplished by the use of a vegetable transplanter. The leaves and roots are trimmed to lengths that meet the needs of thc transplanter.

Plant Distribution: Though saltmcadow cordgrass is found in many states, 'Avalon' is only recommended for usc from Massachusetts to North Carolina. Prior to using an5' plant material determine its local invasive status. Coastal Systems and Saltmeadow Cordgrass Healthy estuaries arc critical for much of our ocean life. Estuaries provide habitat for most of our nation's commemial fish catch. Commercial and recreational fishing, boating and tourism provide millions of jobs. Fishing alone generates over $100 billion annually into the U.S. economy. Estuar)' and shoreline eco%'stems provide immeasurable benefits to the American way of life. Thc Natural Resources Conservation Sen'ice is proud to have developed 'Avalon' saltmeadow cordgrass. 'Avalon' saltmeadow cordgrass developed at the Cape May PMC restores estuao' ecosystems, protects coastal sand dune habitat and can be used to rcvcgatate areas altered by human activity. Plant Selection Process NRCS conducts its plant development activities in keeping with the philosophy of Dr. Franklin J. Crider, first leader of what is now thc Plant Materials Program. Dr. Crider maintained that "in most cases, nature has evolved a plant for almost ever)' growing condition." In developing 'Avalon' saltmeadow cordgrass N RCS used the Comparative Observation Evaluation process. Many populations of the same species were planted side by side in evaluation plots. Populations were observed and compared to each other. The population with promising traits and characteristics was isolated, increased, tested in multiple environments and released to the commemial nurser).' industry. Selection Attributes 'Avalon' was obsen'ed to have a superior and denser rooting ~'stcm This naturally evolved trait enabled this genotype to provide better site stabilization on high energy locations. Origin This material originated from naturally occumng salt marsh stands located near the Borough of Avalon, in Cape May County, New Jersey. 'Avalon' was released as a cultivar in 1987 to the commercial nursery market. Adaptation Saltmeadow cordgrass is adapted to both the secondar), and back dune locations as well as the tidal marsh estuary. 'Avalon' is recommended for estuary application.

PURPOSE: To develop a system of coastal sand dunes to protect human lives, personal property, and community infrastructures. A secondary benefit of such developments is the creation and protection of critical habitat of threatened and endangered bird species. WHERE APPLICABLE: Along ocean and bay shorelines; where blowing sands and storm waters may cause damage to human and wildlife resources. METHODS and MATERIALS: Sand dunes naturally form on barrier islands, shorelines exposed directly to the ocean, and inland sand deposits. The source of this wind born sand is the ocean or its bays. These parallel ridges of sand form perpendicular to prevailing winds and grow toward its source of sand. Periodic storm events and human activity continually alter their development and original configuration. Once developed the sand dunes provide adequate protection from moderate storms and tides. The existence and maintenance of vegetation on dunes provides a network of root and foliage which holds unconsolidated sand in place. American beachgrass is the dominant, naturally occurring, vegetation of the frontal dunes of the northern Mid-Atlantic and New England coasts. From Vriginia beach southward through the Carolinas, sea oats becomes the dominant foredune plant. When beachgrass or sea oats are established with structural resources and other dune species, a formidable well-anchored storm barrier is established, capable of saving major public and private assets. Establishing curvilinear foot paths or wooden crosswalks through or over the sand dunes, bordered by sand fencing, is necessary where foot or vehicular traffic is expected. 1.VEGETATION A. Plant Materials: The foliage of most sand dune species filters sand from the wind. The reduction of wind velocity near the dune's surface by vegetation allows sand to be deposited. The root mass of these plant species adapted to the sand dune environment are typically deep and extensive, anchoring the dunes to their foundation. When possible only certified cultivars, which have been tested on similar sites, should be utilized for protecting valuable coastal resources. 1).Cultivar Releases recommended for stabilizing sand dunes; all cultivars listed were released by the USDA- Natural Resources Conservation Service's Plant Materials Program: a.) 'Cape' american beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) b.) 'Atlantic' coastal panicgrass (Panicum amarum var. amarulum) c. )' Northpa' bitter panicgrass (Panicum amarum) d.) 'Avalon' saltmeadow cordgrass (Spartinapatens) e.) 'Monarch' seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) f.) 'Wildwood' bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica) g.)' Ocean View' beach plum (Prunus rnaritima) 2.) Non-Cultivar Releases suitable for adding plant diversity on sand dunes: a.) seashore little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium var. littoralis) b.) sea oats (Uniolapaniculata) c.) switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) d. ) partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasiculata) e.) beach pea (Lathyrus maritimus) f.) eastern red cedar (duniperus virginiana) g.) groundsel tree (Baccharis halimifolia) NOTE: The cultivars listed were developed specifically for sand dune stabilization and should be specified and used when available. By using cultivars developed for such a harsh environment, the risk of plant failure is reduced. In addition, when developing a planting plan for a dune system, it is imperative to plant species in their zone of adaptation. The species best adapted to the frontal dune face are american beachgrass, bitter panicgrass, and sea oats (Delmarva Penninsula and south). As you move onto the back of the frontal dune or into the secondary dune system, the additional species listed above may be incorporated into the planting as available. By broading the plant diversity, the risk of plant failure is further minimized. See (Diagram 1) for plant zonation guidelines. Plant Establishment 1.) (Cape) american beachgrass (Ammophila breveligulata)- Beachgrass is successionally classified as a pioneering type species; it is about the only species capable of surviving the harsh environmental conditions of the frontal dunes. For initially stabilizing a dune System, this species is the most reliable and commercially available option. Once established it rapidly spreads by a rhizomatous root system, developing a soil binding network of inter-woven roots. 2.) Date = November 1 to April 1; under non-frozen soil conditions Planting Unit = a minimum of two stems (culms) per hole Method = hand placement, or use ora vegetable or tree planter Size = 16 to 18 inch long stems, > ¼ inch in diameter Depth = culms placed approximately 8-10 inches deep Spacing: severe sites = 12" X 12" normal sites = 18" X 18" stable sites = 24" X 24" Notes: · Plant > 100 feet of horizontal distance from the mean high tide water line to ensure success · Plant a minimum of 10 parallel rows; stagger (off-set) rows to maximize protection · Firm soil around plants to eliminate air pockets · If utilizing dredged fill allow salts to leach out before planting and rains to compact sands (Northpa) bitter panicgrass (Panicura amarum)- This perennial, warm-season grass with a prostrate growth habit spreads slowly fi'om short, strong rhizomes initially forming open dumps. Over time these clumps can fuse to form a dense mat of vegetation. Since this grass produces little viable seed it must be planted vegetatively. Date: potted plants = April 1 to May 1 bare root = November 1 to April 15 stem cuttings = April 1 to May 15 Planting Unit = single bare-root or containerized seedling or stem division; 12 - 18 inches tail Depth: potted/bareroot = 2 inches deeper than the nursery depth Stem cuttings= place on a 45 degree angle in a 8-10 inch hole or slit leaving the top 6-10" of stem exposed. Method: plants = hand placed, or using a vegetable transplanter Spacing: Potted/barefoot = 2 feet apart in 2-3 foot staggered rows. Stem cuttings= minimum of three stems/hole, spaced 2 feet apart in staggered 2-3 foot rows 3.) (Atlantic) coastal panicgrass (Panicum amarum var. arnarulutn)- This warm season bunch-like grass is a post stabilization species thriving from the crest of the frontal dune to inland sites. It is the only dune stabilization species which has been directly seeded on to the sand dunes successfully. Potted plants and stem divisions can also be successfully established on these severe sites. The annual foliage emerges from a deep fibrous perennial root system with short lateral rhizomes. This species can be successfully planted with or over seeded into stands of American beachgrass. The closely related switchgrass is not as well adapted to sand dune conditions due to its lower seedling vigor. However, it is a good alternative, especially north of Long Island where coastal panicgrass is not native. Date: Seeding: over seeding = April 1 to May 1 Dormant seeding = November 1 to April 15 Planting = April 1 to May 15 Planting Unit = single bare-root or containerized seedling or division; 12- 18 inches tall Seeding rate = 8 to 12 Lbs. of Pure Live Seed (PLS) per acre Depth: plants = 2 inches deeper than the nursery depth seed = drilled t~A to 2~ inches deep Method: seed = hand broadcast/incorporated, garden seeder (single row, push) or mechanically operated drill or drop seeder plants = hand placed, or use a vegetable or tree transplanter Spacing: plants = place 2-4 feet apart within a row with rows spaced 6-8 feet apart seed = 3' to 10' row spacing 4.) Sea oats (Uniolapaniculata)- Adapted only south of the Delaware Bay (Deimarva Pennisula & south). Within it's range, sea oats is the most important plant in the pioneer (frontal dune) zone. Like beachgrass, it flourishes best where sand is drifting and accumulating. However, unlike beachgrass, it persists as a perennial cover aider the sand has been stilled but dies back to the ground over the winter. For initial stabilization of a sand dune, it is best to interplant both species. Date = March 1 to April 15 Planting Unit = one bare-root or potted plant Depth = 2 inches below the nursery grown depth Method = hand placed, or vegetable planter Size = > 24-36 inch stem Spacing = 18 to 36 inch row spacing with plants placed 18 inches apart within a row. May be interplanted with american beachgrass by alternating rows of each species. 5.) (Avalon) saltmeadow cordgrass (Spartinapatens)- Although typically associated with tidal salt marshes, saltmeadow cordgrass also naturally occurs in the secondary and back dune areas. Predominantly inhabiting inter-dune troughs and low blow-out areas. It is dominate in these micro-sites since most other sand dune species can not tolerate wet to saturated soil conditions. The trailing rhizomes of saltmeadow cordgrass are slender, but form dense mats near the surface. It is vegetatively established on normal sites using freshly harvested stems (culms) or containerized plants on severe locations. Date = May 1 to June 15 Planting Unit = 3 to 5 live stems placed bare-root or containerized Depth = 2 inches below the nursery grown depth Method = hand placed, or vegetable planter Size = > 12 inches Spacing = 18 to 36 inches depending on the severity of the planting site Notes: Utilize this species in low elevation sites of sand dunes which are frequently moist or inundated. 6.) Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)- This warm-season, bunchgrass commonly grows in back dune swales and upper margins of tidal marshes. Seedling vigor is lower than in the closely related coastal panicgrass and therefore is not as well adapted for seeding on actively shifting sand dunes. However, switchgrass is a good alternative to coastal panicgrass north of Long Island, which is beyond the native range of coastal panicgrass. Date: Seeding: over seeding = April 1 to May 1 dormant seeding = November 1 to April 15 planting = April 1 to May 15 Planting Unit = single bare-root or containerized seedling or division; 12 - 18 inches tall Seeding rate = 8 to 12 Lbs. of Pure Live Seed (PLS) per acre Depth: plants = 2 inches deeper than the nursery depth seed = drilled I~A to 2~ inches deep Method: seed = hand broadcast/incorporated, single row garden seeder, or mechanically operated drill or drop seeder plants = hand placed, or use a vegetable or tree planter Spacing: plants = 4' X 4' seed = 3' to 10' row spacing 7.) Seacoast bluestem (Schizachyrium littorale)- This native, warm- season grass is a coastal variation of the inland little bluestem It differs visually with a more prostrate growth habit. Found in scattered open clumps in the back dunes, it rarely forms a solid stand, but is found mixed with other species such as beach heather, seaside goldenrod, beachgrass, bayberry, beach plum. Date = March 1 to April 15 Planting Unit = one bare-root or potted plant Depth = 2 inches below the nurse~ grown depth Method = hand placed or vegetable planter Size = > 12-24 inch stem Spacing = 24 to 36 inch row spacing with plants placed 24 inches apart within a row. Plant in the backdunes where sand is stable. May be interplanted with switchgrass, coastal panicgrass, saltmeadow cordgrass, seaside goldenrod, and beach or partridge pea. 8.) (Monarch germplasm) seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) - This perennial forb adds color and variety to a dune planting. It is a major food source on the fall migration of the Monarch butterfly. From it's inconspicuous green basal leaves in winter into early summer arises a brilliant yellow flower cluster in early fall. Although often blamed for causing allergies, it is actually an insect pollinated plant. (Ragweed is the real culprit). Date = March 1 to May 15 Planting Unit = one bare-root or potted plant Depth = 2 inches below the nursery grown depth Method = hand placed or vegetable planter Size = > 12-18 inch stem Spacing = 24 to 36 inch row spacing with plants placed 24 inches apart within a row. Plant in the baekdunes where sand is stable. May be interplanted with switchgrass, coastal panicgrass, saltmeadow cordgrass, and beach or partridge pea. 9.) Beach pea and partridge pea (Lathyrus maritimus/Chamaecrista fasciculata) Beach pea is adapted fi.om New Jersey- north and partridge pea, an annual reseeding legume, fi.om Massachusetts to the Carolinas. These native legumes have good wildlife value as edible seed for both upland game and shore birds. Partridge pea (seed only) Date: Seeding: over seeding = April 1 to May 15 dormant seeding = November 1 to April 15 Seeding rate = 2-4 pounds of Pure Live Seed (PLS) per acre. Depth: = seed drilled 1½ to 2½ inches deep in stilled sand Method: seed = hand broadcast/incorporated, single row garden seeder, or mechanically operated drill or drop seeder Beach pea (plants only) Planting Unit = single bare-root or containerized seedling or division; 12 - 18 inches tall planting = April 1 to May 15 Depth: plants = 2 inches deeper than the nursery depth Method: plants = hand placed, or use a vegetable or tree planter Spacing: plants = 4' X 4' seed = 3' to 10' row spacing 10.) Shrubs and Trees (bayberry, beachplum, rugosa rose, groundsel)- Medium sized shrubs and small trees naturally dominate the back dune zone of New Jersey's barrier islands. The shrubs begin to co-inhabit the mid secondary dunes. Once extensive stands of bayberry, beach plum, pitch pine and other woody species covered these islands where houses now stand. The shrub species which are well adapted to the dune ecosystem are capable of either layering or root suckering. The trees and shrubs of the sand dunes have deep tap root systems for supplying adequate moisture and nutrients. Each species utilized for back dune stabilization has its own unique attributes Beach plum has a colorful bloom in spring which yields a tasty succulent cherry like fruit. Bayberry roots have nodules which enable it to fix atmospheric nitrogen similar to legumes; it also produces aromatic fi-uit and leaves. The thorny stems ofrogose rose are useful in direct'rog pedestrian traffic along established access trails. This rose species also blooms from late spring to early fall, then gives rise to a bright red fluit. The pines and junipers which are adapted to sand dunes provide the visual appeal of evergreens in the back dunes. The major function of tree and shrub vegetation on sand dunes is still the permanent solid structural stabilization. All of trees and shrubs of the sand dunes produce viable seed, but intentional establishment occurs using bare-rooted or potted seedlings. Fertilizer Date = March 15 to April 15; unless soil is frozen Planfmg Unit = 1/0 or 2/0 bare-root seedlings or containerized transplants Depth -- 2 inches below the nursery grown depth Method = hand placement or using a tree planter Size = > 12 inches tail Spac'mg = 4 to 6 feet apart; off-set (stagger) rows for maximum protection Notes: to ensure establishment (first 2 years) all competing vegetation must be removed from within 2 feet of each plant; it is important not fertilize the surrounding vegetation which will potentially out-compete the tree or shrub C. Maintenance Date = May through July; no sooner than 30 days after planting Rate = < 50 lbs. of nitrogen (N) per acre, < 25 lbs. of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) per acre Frequency: · Apply N for the first two years at, er planting, then as needed to maintain stem density and plant health. · Single or split applications are acceptable if not applied before May 1 or after July 30. Split applications must be at least 30 days apart. · It is only necessary to apply P and K bi-annually Recommended Formulations: · 10-10-10, 20-10-10, 15-10-10, etc. are acceptable as long as the maximum rates per nutrient are not exceeded · Time release fertilizers are encouraged that will provide the target amounts of the primary nutrients per acre. 2009 t Notes: · Only apply fertilizer to within the drip line of shrubs and trees. Not following this rule will result in excessive herbaceous growth, which will out compete newly established trees and shrubs. · Apply using broadcasting machinery 2.) Replant: · Like a chain, a dune system is no stronger than its weakest link. Uniform, unbroken dune lines are essential to the protection a system can provide. · Uncontrollable events (i.e. storms, construction, etc.) may damage sand dunes, ff such damage occurs between October and April replant within a month. If the damage is experienced from May to September, utilize the outlined sand fencing or excavation procedures listed below, then plant during the recommended establishment period. 2. SAND FENCING: A quick and effective way to build temporary sand dunes is with the use of sand fencing (standard snow fence). Utilizing lines of fencing and wooden posts, orientated parallel to the beach. A source of sand is necessary for this technique to be effective, but it is not limited by time of establishment. A. Materials l) Fencing: · Standard 4 ft. slatted wood snow fencing; wood must be decay free Four wire ties (>_ 12 ga.) must be used to secure fencing to each post. 2) Posts: Wooden posts must be > 6½ ft. long, with a minimum diameter of 3 inches; typical length ranges from 7 to 8 ft. The posts should be made from black locust, eastern red cedar, Atlantic white cedar, or other species of similar durability and strength. Space posts 10 ft. apart, and set them > 3 feet deep B. Technique 1) Position - orientate fence lines parallel to waterline of the beach, at least 140 feet from mean high tide (see figure 2) 2) Height - with adequate sand sources, dune elevations can be increased annually by at least four foot increments. 3) 4) 5) (approximately the maximum height of the fencing, this can be increased with vegetation); The maximum dune height which is attainable will range fi.om 12 to 15 feet, but is greatly influenced by prevailing wind velocities and sand grain size Installation - weave fencing in fi.ont of and behind alternating posts to attain maximum strength Number of Rows - 2 parallel rows spaced 30 to 40 feet apart, are ideal; but single rows with 30 ft. perpendicular spurs, spaced 40 ff. apart are also acceptable if space is a major limiting factor Renlacement - sand will typically fill fencing to ~A of its total height at a maximum; upon reaching maximum fence capacity, additional lines of fence can be added until maximum planned dune height is reached; replace damaged fencing and posts within one month of storm damage to maintain a contiguous dune line C. Comments · This method is more expensive per linear foot than building dunes with vegetation alone, but less expensive than using earth moving machinery to construct dunes. · Although dune height can be increased faster, it is limited by the fence height and ability to continually add more lines of fencing. · Planting parallel rows of vegetation on either side offences is usually more effective than either vegetation or fencing techniques alone. · When complementing fencing with vegetation, do not plant closer than ten feet and no further than 15 feet fi.om the fence lines. Vegetative strips should be about 20 ft. wide 3. MECItANICAL EXCAVATION · With the use of various earth moving machines temporary, excavated sand dunes are quickly created. · Since time is required for settling and cohesion to occur, such dunes are often short lived and only provide minimal protection to the public and private resources behind them. · This method is often useful in the repair of storm damaged sand dunes during the fall and winter months. Any blow-out areas can be quickly filled. · Front-end loaders of all sizes can be used. Various grading machines are also useful. · Pumped sand fi.om off shore dredging can be shaped and positioned with machinery New York and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County Marine Program American Beach Grass Introduction Maritime beach communities are found above the mean high tide line. Wind erosion and storm waves shape these communities. Plants that grow there need to be tolerant of dry and salty conditions and of the constant burial by shifting sand. The most common plant species found in the maritime beach is American beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata). American beachgrass is able to live in this very hot and salty environment characterized by coarse sand, little organic matter and almost no water. American beachgrass does not only grow on dunes by the ocean, it can be found on beaches along the bays, harbors, and at the base of bluffs along Long Island Sound. Given its dense root structure and ability to grow through accreting sand,American beachgrass helps in the formation of dunes. Dunes play a very important role in protecting the coast, by buffering incoming waves. Although American beachgrass is adapted to life in a tough environment, it can not withstand people walking on it. Once the Al~erican beachgrass starts to die off, the stability of the dune is threatened. Dunes are also affected by natural forces such as storms and floods. Planting American beachgrass can restore damaged dune systems. New York's Sea Grant Extension Program provides Equal Program and Equal EmPlOyment OppoEtunilies in association wi~ ¢ornell American Beachgrass Characteristics American beachgrass has a range that extends from New England to North Carolina. It has the ability to continue to grow even as nature buries it with sand. As the grass captures sand that winds blow across it, dunes are built. The grass responds to being buried by sending up a new rhizome (underground stem). From the new rhizome, a new shoot forms. The rhizomes also help the plant spread horizontally up to 6'-10' annually. American beachgrass grows up to 2'-3' tall. The plant does produce a seedhead and seeds, but much of the spreading is through the rhizomes. Seedlings have a tough time getting established in a hot, dry environment. American beachgrass grows to 2'-3' tall American beachgrass is easily planted by hand. American Beach Grass Planting Tips American beachgrass comes in more than one variety. The variety recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service for our area is called "Cape:' Some Long Island nurseries are propagating beach grass from our Long Island dunes. Some groups feel it is better to use beachgrass from this local source. The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service offers this advice: 0 Plant strips of beachgrass parallel to the coasdine. It is easily done by hand. The row closest to the ocean should be at least 100' above the mean high tide line. Along the ocean, if space permits, plant a 40'-50' wide strip, but no less than 20', and 10 rows deep. This permits the planting to trap blowing sand, and to build a dune. ~ American beachgrass can be planted from October 15th to March 31st in the Mid-Atlantic, as long as the sand is not frozen. ~ Plants and roots must be kept moist before and during planting. Try using wet burlap. On most sites, the recommended plant spacing within a row is 18". Where erosion is severe, decrease the spacing to 12" apart. O Plant two 18"-24" stems in a hole, approximately 7"-9" deep. fi~ Stagger the rows. An 18' by 18' spacing requires 38,000 culms or stems per acre, or 889 culms per 1,000 square feet. ~ Compact the sand firmly around the plants. ~ Beachgrass should be fertilized. Broadcast fertilizer over the planting at a rate equivalent to 1.4 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Fertilizer should be applied 30 days after the planting date, but not before April 1st. ~ Protect your new planting from foot/vehicle traffic by placing snow fencing around it.

Maritime grasslands are found within the coastal zone, where they are influenced directly by spray from the ocean and strong onshore winds. The grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), the upland sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda), and the northern harrier (Circus cyaneus), all rely on coastal grasslands. Other species like the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius), rough-legged hawk (Buteo logopus), red-tailed hawk (Buteojamaicensis), common barn owl (Tyto alba), and the bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) depend on grasslands for feeding. Development has been the most significant threat to coastal grasslands, and much of this once extensive habitat has been lost. Invasive, exotic species have degraded coastal grasslands, and the fire needed to maintain them has been suppressed. Grasses are divided into two main categories, cool season and warm season. Cool season grasses produce most of their growth during the spring and late fall when soil and air temperatures are cooler. Most of the commercially available turf grasses used in the northeast are introduced cool season grasses. Warm season grasses produce most of their growth during the hot summer months from July through September. They survive and adapt better than cool season species under conditions of drought and heat. The ability of warm season grasses to remain standing through the winter provides better nesting and winter cover than cool season grasses. Little bluestem, indiangrass, and switchgrass are among the characteristic warm season grasses native to this region. The term native is used here to mean grasses indigenous to the region at the time of European settlement. Due to the recent interest in growing native, warm season, coastal grasses, the availability of local and adapted species is increasing. We have selected three species of grasses for you to try. All of these are common inhabitants of coastal environments and are easily propagated. They are little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). Since grasslands often have diverse wildflower communities as well, we are also suggesting you try planting seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens). Little Bluestem turns orange in the fall. Indiangrassreaches a height of 3'-8'. ~ About These Speci Little Bluestem Little bluestem is a native, perennial grass, which grows from 1 to 3 feet tall, in tufts or clumps. Its dense root system can reach 8 feet deep. Because it is quite drought tolerant and can withstand occasional flooding in coastal areas, it is commonly used on beaches for holding sand. In the fall it turns orange. For that reason it is some- times used as an ornamental grass in home landscapes. It tolerates salt spray and wind, as well as dry conditions and poor soil. As a warm season grass it begins growth in late spring and continues through the hot summer period until the first killing frost. Basal shoots are bluish colored, hence the name. Indiangrass Indiangrass is native throughout tile east, but not as common as bluestem. It is an excellent grass for use as food and cover for wildlife. It reaches a mature height of 3- 8 feet. The blue green leaves are attractive -- they are long and stiff, and produced in dense clumps. Like other warm season grasses, it turns a nice bronze color in the fall. It too is used as an ornamental grass in home landscapes. The flower head can be 8-12 inches in height. Although it grows best in deep, well-drained floodplain soils, it is highly tolerant of poorly to excessively well-drained soils. Switchgrass Switchgrass is found in prairies, open woods, and brackish marshes. It does well at the seashore. Song and upland game birds will feed on switchgrass seeds. It provides excellent spring nesting habitat. Switchgrass grows to heights of 3-8 feet. Leaves are 1-2 feet long. Like other warm season grasses, it produces clumps or bunches. It adds interest to winter gardens, and is planted as an ornamental for its shape and fall color. Seaside Goldenrod Seaside goldenrod is a showy plant in the dunes and along marsh borders. It has bright yellow flowers in the fall. It is a smooth-stemmed goldenrod, usually 1-3 feet in height. It is typically found along the borders of marshes. Planting Native Grasses The type of planting chosen will depend on the scale of the project. For small-scale projects, it may be simpler to use grass plants rather than seed. ~he cost of using plants gets prohibitive in large-scale projects. Grass plants come in flats like those in which you buy other flowers and vegetables for your garden. It is also possible to buy large, individual grass plants in quart or gallon containers for ornamental land- scape accent purposes. Some companies ship grass plants bare root, in the dormant stage. If bare root plants are purchased, be sure to keep the roots moist until plant- ed (stick them in a bucket of water, or wrap the roots in a wet paper towel) or heel them into the garden soil for a day or two. It is best to plant grasses in the early spring, so that they can become established before the heat of summer. Grasses like full sun! They may require some irrigation for a short period of time; however, they require little maintenance once established. The planting site will have to be prepared before planting time. If the area currently supports cool season turf species, you will need to remove them. This can be done with hand tools for a small area; for larger areas a sod cutter can be used. The sod NatiVe Grasses Planting Seaside Goldenrod Seaside goldenrod is easy tn grow in full sun or light shade. It will grow in ordinary soil, but will 'also grow on sand dunes. It is quite drought-resistant. In the fall, Monarch butterflies are often seen visiting seaside goldenrod. Try planting it along the borders of your grassland planting. It typically comes in a container as an individual plant. As described with the grasses above, remove it from the container, loosen the roots, and place it in a hole that allows the roots to spread out. Be careful to plant thc seaside goldenrod level with the soil line. Irrigate and mulch after planting. Other Resources 0 East Coast Seashore Gardening with Native Plants R. Marilyn Schmidt.

Covering an existing lawn with black plastic mulch is a good way to kill fast-growing grasses that would otherwise compete with your native slow- growing grasses. It may take several weeks for the grass to die. A site can then be roto-tilled. Roto-tilllng needs to be repeated several times to kill new plants that spring up on their own. If the site has quack grass or other plants with rhizomes, roto-tilling will not kill them. In some locations, it may be necessary to use a chemi- cal herbicide to kill existing vegetation at the site. New types of herbicide are avail- able that break down quickly, and are not persistent in the landscape. Before using an herbicide, one should contact Corneil Cooperative Extension Agricultural Program for advice. Putting grass plants in the ground is not much different from planting any plant. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the length of the roots and the width of the plant. If the grass plants are being taken out of flats or other containers, check to see if the roots have become root bound, or tightly wrapped around themselves. If so, gen- tly break them apart before planting. Be careful not to plant the grass too deep. The crown of the grass plant should be level with or slightly higher than the soil level. Firm the soil around the plant with your hands, and water quickly. Adding mulch around the plant will help keep it moist. Spacing of 18 inches between plants is one guideline. Another is to space the plants as far apart as their expected height when mature. Stagger the plants for a more natural effect. For larger projects, it is probably more cost effective to start native grasses using seed. Native grass seed is very fine. The seeders used to plant cool season grasses do not work well with warm season grasses. Seed drills are used with warm season grasses. Seeds need to be 'drilled' into the ground, about ~ inch deep. Competition from cool season grasses and weeds is a major cause of failure for this type of pro- ject and they must be controlled. For a small-scale seeding project, it is possible to sow by hand. Sowing is done in the early spring. Seed should be mixed with a damp 'extender' such as sawdust or Kitty Litter. The normal ratio is four pounds of extender to one pound of seed. Seed should be broadcast in the patterns of a tic-tac-toe board, first in parallel rows, then in new rows crossing the first ones perpendicularly. The extender helps you see where the seed has landed. A guideline is one pound of seed per one thousand square feet. The seed should be raked into the soil to a depth of about ~ inch, and then the soil should be rolled with a water-filled lawn roller. Warm season grasses germinate and grow slowly. Seeded areas will need to be kept moist by regular irrigation. It usually takes two years before the grass looks good and fills in. The major challenges are the cool season grasses and aggressive weeds that will grow faster than the warm season grasses. These competitors will have to be cut. Setting the lawn mower blade tall enough to cut the weeds, while not cutting the warm season grasses will allow you to accomplish this. Youth groups and environmental organizations should probably not attempt to establish larger areas of native grasslands without professional guidance and the proper equipment. A good place for guidance is the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resource and Conservation Service office in Riverhead. (See 'Obtaining Help' on page 4, for address and telephone number.) Once established, warm season grasses need maintenance. Historically, in natural ecosystems, periodic fires kept shrubs and trees from invading grasslands. Fire is still one of the tools resource managers use to maintain native grasslands. Fortunately, for restoration efforts, warm season grasses can also be main- tained by periodic mowing. Song and game birds feed on Switchgrass. Seaside Goldenrod is thick stemmed.

Also proposed is an open deck area along both sides of the dwelling from the rear of the house and extending southerly to the existing planter and stoop areas, all as shown by the sketched survey submitted with this application. 7. The total lot coverage requested for the existing and proposed deck ¢6nstruction is 2559 sq. ft. In considering this appeal, the Board also finds and determines: (a) that the Pelief requested is not substantial in relation to the mean highwater mark; (b) that the percentage of relief requested as to lot coverage is eight percent over the maximum-permitted; (c) that along the rear an'd both sides of this property are constructed concrete block walls, which lend to the uniqueness of this parcel and creation of the difficulties imposed herein; (d) that the ~ircumstances are unique to the parcel and are not persona! in nature; (e) that the construction as proposed is landward of the existing bulkhead and existing concrete block wall; (f) that ther~ is no other method feasible for appellant to pursue other tha~ a variance; (g) that this proposal would alleviate the multi-level situation of the rearyard and possible erosion in the future and which the Board finds are sufficient to warrant; (h) that in v~ew of the manner in which the difficulties arose and in consid6ring all the above factors, the interests Page 3 - Appl.
