Re: Scott Ambrosio, 1940 Mason Drive, Cutcho~ue

Dear Mrs. Doberty:
The captioned permit, which authorizes construction of a fixed timber dock consisting of a 4' x 12' inclined ramp, 4' x
118' catwalk, 3' x 14' ramp, and 6' x 20' float, was issued on 16 December 2009 a~er two site inspections by members of
the Board, a public hearing, and a determination by the Board that the project is consistent with the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation issued a permit for the identical
project on April 1~ of this year.
However, staff from the New York State Departmem of State Coastal Resources Division has concluded that the project
as approved by the Trustees and NYSDEC cannot properly be considered consistent with the Town's locally adopted
LWRP. Specifically, they represented in electronic correspondence to me that despite having issued their own
consistency concurrence for a similar dock located three properties away inside Broadwaters Cove in 2006, their
Department would disavow itserf from that decision end object to our consistency certification for this project unless the
area of catwalk located over the open waterway was reduced. And becausa the Town has a locally adopted LWRP, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cannot issue their permit for the project without issuance of a consistency concurrence by
the Department of State. Therefore, the Ambrosios were left with no choice but to appeal the Department of State's
determination or seek a compromise.
In order to avoid a lengthy and burdensome appeals process with the Department of State, the applicants agreed to modify
the dock design by relocating the landward origin of the dock farther from their house and reducing the length of the
catwalk to 84 feet. As a result, the length of the mowed path through the high marsh grass will need to be extended, but
the seaward extent of the dock and location of the float would change only marginally. These changes, which are the
subject of the attached application for amendment, are depicted on the revised project plan prepared by Eh-Consultants,
Inc., last dated 1 August 2010, (3) copies of which are attached hereto.
Should you require any additional information to process this request, please let me know.

Re: Scott Ambrosio~ 1940 Mason Driver Cutcho~ue
Dear Mr. King:
As discussed during the public hearing on the captioned application, please find attached (3) copies of a project
plan prepared by En-Cousultants, Inc., last dated 11 January 2010, which depicts a modified configuration for
the proposed dock. Specifically, the previously proposed geosynthetic walkway on grade has been eliminated,
and the landward end of the fixed elevated catwalk now begins where the existing path meets the high water
line with an inclined ramp leading up thereto. Although the seaward extent of the dock remains essentially
unchanged, the structure has been shifted slightly westward to maintain a farther distance from the adjacent spit
of tidal marsh. As a result of these changes, the overall length of the catwalk has been reduced from 133 to 118
feet. A new footpath to the proposed dock is also depicted, along with a notation that the curved part of the path
intersecting the property line will be abandoned. Finally, a note has been added to specify that the dock will be
equipped with a light, which the applicant understands must comply with Chapter 275 rules and regulations.
Should you require any additional information before your permit can be issued accordingly, please let me
know.
R~ttully yours~

recommendation that the proposed action is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP and listed
policy standards provided below.
Figure 1. Subject parcel.
Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold
ecosystem
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
1. Comply with Trustee regulations and recommendations as set forth in Trustee
permit conditions
The applicant fails to prove that the action meets the following requirements § 275-11
Construction and operation standards C. 2 (d) of the Southold Town Code:
(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:
[2] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with the public use of waterways for
swimming, boating, fishing, she//fishing, waterskiing and other water-dependant
activities;
Chapter 275 requires that the determination of the length of the dock must include the
dimensions of the vessel. The dimensions of a vessel are not specified.
[3] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with transit by the public along the public
beaches or foreshore;
See above comment.
[6] Whether the dock will cause habitat fragmentation and loss of significant coastal fish
and wildlife habitats;
The proposed action is located within a New York State Critical Environmental Area. At
the discretion of the Board of Trustees, any operations proposed in. critical
environmental areas (§ 275-2) may be subject to more stringent requirements than
detailed in this section. Such requirements may include, but are not limited to, denial of
certain operations, shortening or reducing the size of structures, and increasing the
width of non-disturbance buffers. It is recommended that in the event the action is
approved, a si.qnificant non-disturbance buffer (equal to or .qreater than 30' in width from
the tidal wetland line) be established to miti.qate the local impacts from the dock
structure.
[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;
[10] Whetherthe dock will adversely affect views, viewsheds and vistas important to
the community;
The important views, viewsheds and vistas to the community have not been
identified or discussed.
[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
The construction method has not been identified. § 275-11 Construction and operation
standards requires that all intertidal construction and excavation employ the installation
of a silt boom that will retain all suspended sediments within the immediate project area.
[12] Whether adequate facilities are available to boat owners and/or operators for
fueling, discharge of waste and rubbish, electrical service and water service.
9.3
Preserve the public interest in and use of lands and waters held in public trust by
the state and the Town of Southold.
Limit grants, leases, easements, permits or lesser interest in lands underwater in
accordance with an assessment of potential adverse impacts of the proposed
use, structure, or facility on public interest in public lands under water.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in
preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

Statement of the effect, if any, on the wetlands and tidal waters of the town that may result by
reason of such proposed operations (use attachments if appropriate):
The proposed dock is proposed to be located in the area of the property where, consistent with "Best Management Practices,"
the structure will traverse the least amount of vegetated marsh and where there existed a dockage facility and bulkhead in the
1970s. Moreover, in lieu of potentially constructing 100 or more additional feet of catwalk over the vegetated marsh, the
project proposes to utilize an existing trodden path and a proposed geosynthetic "mesh walkway" on grade to access the
proposed dock. The dock is proposed to be constructed with untreated decking, including open-grote decking with 60% open
space over the vegetated marsh, and the supportive framework of the catwalk is minimized via use of 4" x 4" support posts over
the vegetated marsh. As evidenced by the attached aerial photograph, the shorelines of Broadwaters Cove in this area are
characterized by more than a dozen similarly configured private docks. In light of the above, the proposed dock will not cause
any significant adverse impacts to the tidal wetlands or waters of the Town.

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.
NYes ~ No ~ Not Applicable
Attach additional sheets if necessary
Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP
Section III - Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria
[~ Yes [~ No [~ Not Applicable
Attach additional sheets if necessary
Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See
LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria
[~ Ycs [~ No [~ Not Appli~ble
The proposed dock would be located in an area of Broadwaters Cove characterized by similarly configured docks. The proposed dock,
however, is designed to minimize visual impacts via use of an existing trodden path and a proposed geosynthetic mesh walkway on
grade to access the dock rather than potentially constructing an additional 100 or more linear feet of catwalk. By using open-grate
decking, the dock can also be more lowly elevated. Therefore the project will be consistent with Policy 3.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
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--~1 No [~ Not Applicable
Attach additional sheets if necessary
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Soathold. See LWRP Section III
- Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria
[~ Yes [~ No [~ Not Applicable
The proposed dock is to be constructed with all non-treated decking including open-grate (with 60% open space) decking over the
vegetated marsh. Moreover, as described in Policy 3 above, the use of an existing trodden path and geosynthetic mesh walkway on
grade will preclude the need to potentially construct a catwalk twice as long as what is proposed. Therefore, consistent with Policy 5,
the project design specifically seeks to minimize any potential water quality impacts associated with the use of treated lumber.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
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.
Yes [~] No ~] Not Applicable
The proposed dock is proposed to be Iocat~m the area of the property where, consistent weBest Management Practices," the
structure will traverse the least amount of vegetated marsh and where them existed a dockage facility and bulkhead in the 1970s.
Moreover, in lieu of potentially constructing 100 or more additional feet of catwalk over the vegetated marsh, the project proposes to
utilize an existing trodden path and a proposed geosynthetic "mesh walkway" on grade to access the proposed dock. The dock is
proposed to be constructed with untreated decking, including open-grate decking with 60% open space over the vegetated marsh, and
the supportive framework of the catwalk is minimized via use of 4" x 4" support posts over the vegetated marsh. As evidenced by the
atlached aerial photograph, the shorelines of Broadwaters Cove in this area are characterized by more than a dozen similarly configured
private docks. Therefore, the dock has been designed so as not to result in the "fragmentation of ecological communities" or the
physical loss, degradation, or functional loss of ecological components and will be consistent with Policy 6.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
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 [~ Not Applicable

Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous
substances and wastes. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for evaluation criteria.
~] Yes [~] No [~ Not Applicable
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['-] Not Applicable
The proposed dock will not impede navigation or otherwise impact public access to or recreational use of Broadwaters Cove.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
WORKING COAST POLICIES
Policy 10. Protect Southold's wa~r-deoendent uses and promote siti~l~of new water-dependent uses in
suitable locations. See LWRP Section III - Pohcles, Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation criteria.
[~3 Yes ~3 No [~] Not Applicable
For reasons described above, the proposed dock would not alter nor adversely impair thc surround community character, water use, or
scenic quality of the surrounding environs of Broadwaters Cove.
