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 Bum's home makes appropriate use of an existing residentially zoned waterfront property. The
seawall repair 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 seawall
will remain in its same footprint and configuration (height, thickness, etc.) and will not require
dismantling the existing structure except in areas needing structural repair. There will be no impairment
of waterflow or navigation during or after the repair and maintenance work has been completed.
Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southoid. See
LWRP Section III - Policies Page 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria.
__ Yes No X Not Applicable
There are no -known historic or archeologically siwnificant features on this site.

The proposed proiect is repair and maintenance of an existing pier in place and in the same
configuration. The view and vista of the harbor / cove will not be adversely or even noticeably affected
by the proposed maintenance work.
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 seawall is located in West Harbor at the mouth of Pirates Cove and is aclmowledged to be in a
flood-prone area; and there is wave exposure at this site. The stone seawall is a long-standing structure
which has demonstrated its ability to withstand the elements including inundation waves and ice. The
work proposed is required to maintain and restore structural integrity to accommodate complete
submersion and resist hydrostatic uplift pressures due to flooding.
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.
The seawall is at the bottom of the hydrologic ~'adient of the water table and the construction materials,
primarily cement-based mortar, are not a threat to drinking water quality in any case.
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 proiect is necessary to maintain the structural stabilit3', soil retention capability and scour / erosion
protection of the site. Thus its preservation is necessary to maintain water quality and fish and wildlife
habitat quality.

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 wall and suitable application of the
standards dictated by the Town through their ordinances an laws of the NYS DEC. There is virtually no
public use of the waterfront in this area and the reconstruction of the pier and landward extension above
the apparent high water line are not likely to influence or change this fact.
WORKING COAST POLICIES
Policy 10. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote citing of new water-dependent
uses in suitable locations. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation
criteria.

NARRATIVE STATEMENT &
SUPPLEMENTAL INFOPa~IATION
PERMIT APPLICATION BY
FRANK W. & MARGARET BURR
WEST HARBOR, FISHERS ISLAND, NY
JULY 10, 2009
GENERAL
The Burr's own a small lot on Hedge Road located at the far south end of West Harbor on
Fishers Island. The exposure is to the north and the site is subject to occasional waves and
flooding conditions depending on weather conditions and wind direction. The Burr's property is
a relatively small lot with a vertical grouted stone seawall at the shoreline. This structm'e has
been long-standing and has been reviewed during previous permit applications for dock
construction and reconstruction.
At this time, the seawall is suffering from deterioration involving the loss of mortar and
in isolated areas, stone. Repairs need to be implemented immediately in order to preserve the
structural integrity of the wall. The attached narrative substantiates the scope of work and
provides responses to various concerns outlined in Local Law No. 6 2004, relating to new
Chapter 97 "Wetlands and Shoreline" of the Code of the Town of Southold.
SEAWALL REPAIR
This project involves the localized repair and rehabilitation of the seawall as
demonstrated in the photographs permit application drawings attached. This represents in 'kind,
in place replacement of a functional bulkhead or seawall in accordance with Sub-section B (la).
It is strongly suggested that the same materials be utilized for this repair since alteration of
materials would require an alteration of the structure itself, and perhaps major reconstruction.
This new material will not result in the structure being moved seaward of adjacent neighboring
structures, or even a significant change in the face of the structure. Stone currently lines the
bottom of the existing seawall and will be retained in that position.
There is a drop of about five feet from the Burr's yard to the highest point of the bottom
sediments along the shore at the toe of the seawall, ffthe seawall were to fail or not be repaired,
excessive ,erosion could result. The localized repairs and extent of work does not appear to
require machine excavation. It is anticipated that work will be done by hand although materials
will be delivered to the site by truck or barge.
The fixed wood pile and timber pier was maintained most recently, approximately fifteen
years ago with a Town Permit. A copy of the previous Town of Southhold permit is attached as
substantiation for this project.
REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE WETLANDS LAW
The permittee ac'knowledges that the validity of this permit is or may be subject to the
approval of other governmental or municipal authorities.
The permirtee 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 from such operations. By such acceptance, the
perminee also agrees to indemnify, and save harmless the Town and its officers.
The permittee gives consent to the Town, the NYS DEC, the NYS DOS and the US
ACOE and their 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 Town of Southold, Board of Trustees as well as State and
Federal agencies 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
Commemial Docks, the following additional information is offered.
Permits for the work through the Town, US ACOE, NYS DEC and NYS DOS are
being applied for.
There is no pier repair required for this seawall rehabilitation to proceed although
partial disassembly of the wall, and thus the pier, may be required in order to
properly prosecute the work. The structured timber materials are specifically
grown for this purpose and represent the standard of the industry. With the
connections described above, this structure will continue to be able to survive
repeated inundations and even incident waves at higher tide elevations
This pier is a fixed, pile-supported timber structure and therefore does not
adversely affect the free circulation of water or reduce the effects of fluctuating
water levels in West Harbor. In addition, it does not present any adverse
modification of the shoreline. The pier's elevation is such that in extreme high
tides the structure will be flooded..
There is no plan to replace decking on the existing pier at this time. The existing
decking is 10 years old or thereabouts. Any leaching of the pressure-treatment
chemicals has already occurred. It is our belief that the replacement of piles
would only involve the inner bent and then only if required for access to the wall.
The work would constitute pulling existing piles and driving new piles in the
same holes to the maximum extent possible in order to retain the existing pier
alignn~ent and support intervals. In the event that split clamps or cross-bracing
timbers are damaged during the process, they will be replaced as a part of this
project. Otherwise, existing materials will be re-utilized. There is no plan to
replace decking on the pier. It is respectfully requested that the use of CCA
pressure-treated piles and timbers be approved for this project if required as
discussed above.
The pier is currently decked with CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine which was
installed approximately ten years ago. This pier / walkway provides a safe
pedestrian surface for access to the berthed boat.
The existing pier is a long-standing structure and is approximmely centered on the
Burr property,. The 15~foot clearance specified in this paragraph should not be an
issue because this project does not involve any real alternation or realignment of
the pier, merely removal and replacement of components as necessary to allow
the wall to be properly and fully repaired..
Upon receipt of the permit for this project, appropriate permit numbers 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.
It is not possible to provide a five-foot passage way on the upland to get around
this pier without substantially altering the seawall. There is a stair east of the pier
but not to the west. There is however, room to walk under the pier at low tide. It
should be noted that the south shore of West Harbor at the entrance to Pirate's
Cove represents a substantial drop-off of terrain and there is very little passable
foreshore in the intertidal zone. The foot traffic in this area is rare, if at all.
This pier is a pre-existing structure and does have permits for pile replacement
approximately 15 years ago.
SUMMARY
This project represents the maintenance of a long-standing, shore protection waterfront
structure for the property of Frank and Grace Burr on Fishers Island. The seawall has existed
for decades and appears to pre-exist local zoning and permitting, State permitting and was in all
likelihood existing at the time of the US Army Corps of Engineers "grandfather" decision
effectuated on December 16, 1968. In order to repair and maintain the seawall, the inner part of
the pier may have to be disassembled.
This seawall repair project, including the partial pier dismantling / reconstruction process,
appears to meet all the criteria for US Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide General Permit No.
14; coordination of this application with the New York Regional Office is being accomplished as
a part of this submission.
This project complies with all applicable standards of Local Law No. 6, 2004 and its
approval is respectfully requested.
