Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southoid 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 LV~RP Section III - Policies; Page 2 for evaluation criteria. X~ Yes __ No __ Not Applicable This dock proiect makes appropriate use of an existing waterfront site and complies with environmental design factors published by the NYS DEC Tidal Wetlands Regulations, and the DOS Coastal Management Program, Southold Local Law No. 6, 2004 and the Southold LWRP. The pier will have a 5-foot deck height over the bottom sediments until passing the apparent mean low water line, then ramp to the float. Piles will be roinimum diameter and rails will be 42 inches above the deck. There will be no impairment of waterflow or navigation. 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 2 ' 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 · Yes __ No X Not Applicable The only portion of the proposed work visible to any extent is the construction of a wood timber ~nd pile supported pier with a floating dock. The only land side visual access affected by thi,~ p~roject is at the applicant's site and immediate neighbors in this small cove which is lined by trees. The facility will be visible through the leafless trees, in fall winter and early spring, frum f'~hantntc~n'a fromm the ~otlth The dock's site will be visible from thc the Borden's, Anthony's and .... water only when directly north of the line of the cove. The size of pile's diameters are limited based on the Town of Southold design requirements. A pier for private recreational boating off residential property in an "adjacent area" is a compatible use. 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 These proposed dock facility construction will take place in Hay Harbor and is acknowledged to be in a flood-prone area; there is no wave exposure at this site. The pier will be built 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 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 This project is consistent with this policy because it proposes the elevation of the pier extension at an acceptable height above the bottom sediments through which adjacent tidal wetland'~ vegetation which is admittedly very limited may spread. In addition, "Thru-Flow" open-grat~ plastic deckin~ will be used for the pier's walkin~ surface over the inter-tidal zone. The NY5 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 i~ this project which will be of untreated woods or composite (or plastic) materials. As mentioned earlier, the configuration shown on the drawings provides an optimum balance between acceptable design and access standards without depriving the wetlands vegetation of thc opportunity to spread. Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Seclion III - Policie~ Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria. Yes __ No X Not Applicable There are no air quality issues related to this proiect. Hazardous emissions will not be generated by the dock facility or by recreational boating. 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 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 an,/harmful affect. 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, out. These environmental resources are being protected by the design standards dictated b,/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 pier and landward extension above the apparent hieh water line are not likely to influence or change this fact. 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 pier and install a floating dock for water-dependent~ recreational boating and to construct shoreline stabilization for the house foundation. This usage is defined as water- dependent in the LWRP because the pier extension will for recreational boating and provide boat transportation access to other parts of the Island or even to the mainland. The pier to shore is to provide access without adverse environmental impacts and while protecting existing habitat and limited resources. 4 Policy 11.

TITLE Agent DATE NEW DOCK & WALL REINFORCEMENT PROPERTY OF ROBERT WARDEN HAY HARBOR, FISHERS ISLAND NARRATIVE STATEMENT & SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FEBRUARY 2011 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Wardens own parcel 1000-009-3-14 off Equestrian Avenue located near the south end of the easterly cove formed by Tennis Racket Island in Hay Harbor on Fishers Island. The site is generally moderately sloped, sandy gravel earthen materials and moderately covered with trees and understory along the shore. The frontage of the property is approximately 150 feet along Hay Harbor abutted by the Norland Trust to the south and the F & H Anchorage, LLC to the north. The waterfront at the wall and westerly edge of the house consists of a steep bank to a stone and gravel shoreline with small sporadic spartina altemiflora and patens growth areas. It is the Warden's desire to build a wood timber and pile supported pier and floating dock with associated piles for float restraint and berthed boat tie-offs, utilities and ladders all waterward of the apparent high water line. The new pier will go from an elevation of 6 feet at the dock end, sloping upward and crossing over the intertidal zone at a minimum height of five feet above the bottom sediments until reaching the patio elevation and then level to shore. The Wardens also need to stabilize the shoreline up to their house foundation to protect it from being scoured or undermined. The shoreline protection cribbing will be baclfflled with topsoil, 10 +/- CY over 500 +/- SF, which will support native vegetation to facilitate natural soil retention capabilities. This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Town of Southold's, Ordinance No. 6, 2004, and the Local 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 Section 661 of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation regulations for Tidal Wetlands. SEQUENCE OF WORK As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to construct a fixed wood pile and timber pier in accordance with existing guidelines set forth in the Town of Southold ordinance No. 6, 2004. It is envisioned that the structures will be built utilizing the following general sequence and methodology. The marine dock contractor will arrive by barge with barge-mounted crane and push boats. New piles will be driven starting at the new landside end of the pier and proceeding waterward to shore at roughly 10 foot intervals. These piles will be driven by double- acting air powered hammer to a bearing resistance of approximately 20 tons. This generally results in about ten feet of embedment of the pile in the bearing stratum. Pier support piles will be 8-inch nominal diameter measured at 3 feet from the butt; float restraint and tie-off piles will be 10-inch diameter. After the piles are installed, split caps (also known as split clamps) consisting 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 pair or "bent". Stringers will be then laid on the split caps parallel to the length of the pier. In all likelihood, four 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 provide security against uplift forces that this pier might be exposed to. The stringers will run level at an elevation of 5 feet until they reach a point 5 feet above the existing bottom sediments and then slope upward at 1 foot vertically per 10 feet horizontally, more or less paralleling as closely as possible the slope of the existing inter-tidal zone until reaching an elevation of of the patio. At this point the decking will level off and run straight to the shore landing or stairway to the top of the patio wall. 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 pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine but untreated fir, oak, cedar or it could be Timber Tech or similar plastic composite material with the rough side mounted up. If plastic is used, it will either be gray, brown or natural in color. Decking will be attached to the stringers utilizing stainless steel flathead square-drive wood screws about 3 inches long and will be set with a 1/8" to ¼" gap between members. The decking over the intertidal zone, between the second and third bents, will be open-grate plastic such as "Thru-Flow" to minimize shading of the bottom sediments where some tidal vegetation grows. The alignment of the pier will be perpendicular to shore throughout its length (including the stair running over the vegetation strip currently exists in the inter-tidal zone. The ramp and float will be parallel to shore. The pier support piles will extend 42 inches above the deck surface. Because of the walkway height, the piles will provide the attachment point for horizontal rail members mounted to the piles. A new hinged ramp will be installed at the dockside end of the pier so as to land on the first third of the float. This will probably be a wood ramp made of pressure-treated framing and posts and non-pressure treated Southern Yellow Pine decking and hand rail as described above. Water and electricity will be mn out on the pier in the space between the stringers so that trickle chargers on the boats may be powered during tie-ups. In addition, the water will allow boats to be rinsed off after usage. A power post with an internal light will be mounted to the float or end of the 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 controlled so that the lights will only be on when necessary for safety of the users. The shoreline stabilization structure will consist of interlocking concrete or plastic timber-like sections built up and backfilled as shown in the application drawings. This work will be done by hand from the landside and planted to protect the soils behind. REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE WETLANDS LAW 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 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 construction 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, CCA pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine piles with new framing of the same materials. These members will be a minimum of 3 x 8's and more often, 3 x 10's with two %" bolts or one 1" bolt per connection. This dock facility is a fixed, pile-supported timber pier with a floating dock and therefore does not adversely affect the free circulation of water or reduce the effects of fluctuating water levels in Hay Harbor. In addition, it does not present an adverse modification of the shoreline. The pier's elevation is such that in extreme high flood tides the hinged ramp landing of the structure might be flooded. The structure timber materials are specifically grown for this purpose and represent the standard of the industry. With the connections described above, this structure will be able to survive repeated inundations and even incident waves at higher tide elevations. It is respectfully requested that the use of CCA pressure-treated piles and timbers be approved for this project. The pier will not be decked with CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine. This pier walkway provides a safe pedestrian surface for access to the berthed boat. 3 The 15-foot property line off-set clearance specified in this paragraph should not be an issue because this project has been laid out to make reasonable use of a small cove and reaches adequate water depth yet maintains adequate clearance from existing structures and the likely area of new structures on adjacent properties. 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 other than the tops of piles, power post, lights and railing nor are any planned at this time. There is adequate room for a five-foot passage way on the upland to get under this pier and that access ability will be retained. There is little room to walk along the narrow shoreline between the house and water at low tide; foot traffic in this area is rare, if at all. NYS DEC Tidal Wetlands Regulations - Sections 661.5 and 661.9 This project represents the construction of a new dock facility at the Warden property at the far south end of Hay Harbor adjacent to and east of Tennis Racket Island. The dock facilities to be built include a pier and pier landing over the intertidal zone as well as a floating dock accessed by ramps from the pier. The float restraint piles hold the floats in place as shown in the application drawings. The wetland vegetation in the vicinity of the dock site does not constitute a "wetland"; the site is an "adjacent area". Piers for recreational boating at residential properties on the waterfront are considered to be generally compatible use in an adjacent area (AA) with a permit being required under Section 661.5 (b) (1), 15 and 24. Under Section 661.9, the standards for issuance of permits of NYS DEC regulations, the following are considered to be pertinent considerations. The policies are created to preserve and protect tidal wetlands and prevent their despoilation and destruction. Regulated activities will not have an undo adverse impact on the present or potential value of the affected tidal wetlands. Tidal wetlands vegetation does exist in the vicinity of the dock site at the toe of the bank at the interface between the existing stone seawall and the exposed rock-covered, sandy bottom sediments in the intertidal zone. This spartina patens vegetation however, does not constitute a tidal wetlands. The total area of the vegetation is less than 50 SF and is located approximately 109 feet to the west of the patio and five feet north of the northerly-most section of the wood pile supported pier landing. This pier and floating dock facility reconstruction project is compatible with public health and welfare policies of the State. The project complies with development restrictions contained in Section 661.6. Furthermore, the project is a waterfront dock facility structure and is compatible with the use of the site, zoning and the long-standing use along the waterfront. This project will not have an undo or adverse impact on the present or potential value of nearby tidal wetlands vegetation. 4 Town of Southoid - Local Waterfront Revitalization 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 docking facility for recreational boating at this site. Policy 5 - Use of Existing Developed Shorefront - This project will be primarily to build a pier to a logical shoreward point of origin, the patio on the westerly side of the home, elevated well above sensitive habitat or tidal wetlands and make it safe and reliably usable in all 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 pier's shore point of beginning will be at the top of the steep bank with an initial landing, then a sloped segment to the ramp landing, with five feet of height will be maintained above bottom sediments between the mean high and mean low water lines. 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 consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004 set forth by the Town of Southold. The pier alignment has been laid out east / west to suit the shoreline terrain and characteristics of the cove. The landside end of the pier is elevated as much as possible to allow sunlight to reach the bottom sediments and the section over the inter- tidal zone is decked with open-grate "Thru Flow" decking. Policy 11 - Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The shoreline runs north/south and is shaded by the house from the east. The pier construction project has been laid out in such a way so as to minimize impact to natural resources as identified in Policy 7 above by alignment, light transmissive deck material and elevation. The point of landfall is an existing patio south of trees on the top of the steep bank. The higher end of the pier will cross will above the small fringe growth and there is no submerged aquatic vegetation in the shallow sub-tidal zone where the dock facility is to be located. Policy 14 - No Measurable Increase in Flooding - This project consists of construction of an open wood pile and timber pier that will in no way adversely affect water flow and circulation in Hay Harbor or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels all around Fishers Island are dictated by water levels in Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound and this structure will have no adverse influence on those flood levels. 5 Policy 15 - No Dredging - Dredging is not required in this project. The existing floating dock system has been laid out and configured to avoid dredging requirements. The water in this tiny cove does not get appreciably deeper until much further out to the north. To build a pier and float of adequate length to reach 4 feet of water would cut off several adjacent land owners from water access and to go further west would exceed the "25% width of waterway criteria". 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 hosts two small tidal wetlands fringe growth areas and the shallow sub-tidal waters do not present any opportunity or enticement for public access in the area. 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 borders and existing adjoining properties and land uses has also been considered in this project. The Borden's and Anthony's properties approximately 300 feet to the south each has a small docking facility but this pier and float will not interfere with any existing or possible future facilities on immediately adjoining properties. This dock facility is situated and configured within the 25% of the waterway width from shore. Policy 21 - Water Dependent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent recreational opportunities policies set forth in this section. The dock system will be used for recreational boating and water recreation. Policy 24 -Scenic Resources, Impairment or Loss - This policy is designed to prevent impairment or loss of scenic resources. The construction of the inland section of the structure, the fixed wood pile and timber pier, will represent new encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources below the horizon. The elevated inboard section will be largely obscured by the tree growth on the site on the bank. 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 fringe of spartina altema flora along the shorefront is a valuable, though extremely limited, resource. The existing fringe growth and patches of spartina are certainly not acting as a marsh nor do they create a substantial amount of habitat but nonetheless, they will not physically be disturbed. The raised height of the pier should allow the continued health of the spartina fringe marsh adjacent to the wood pier. 6 SUMMARY This project represents a new fixed pier and float for recreational boating access for the Warden property on Fishers Island. A copy of all US Army Corps of Engineers, NYS DEC, and DOS 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, Town of Southold Local Ordinance No. 6, 2004 and Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and is a presumptively compatible use under NYS DEC Regulations Part 661; its approval is respectfully requested.
