The proposed action has been reviewed to 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 me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is
CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided that
the Board considers the following best management practice to reduce water quality impacts.
§ 275-11. Construction and operation standards.
A. General. The following standards are required for all operations within the jurisdiction of the
Trustees:
(2) Erosion control. Installation of an erosion control structure is necessary during any
building, grading, landscaping or site work activity within Trustee jurisdiction. This structure may
include, but is not limited to, installation of a silt fence, hay bales, wood chip berm and silt
booms. The placement of the erosion control structure(s) shall be determined by the Trustees or
their designee. All intertidal construction and excavation requires the installation of a silt
boom that will retain all suspended sediments within the immediate proiect area.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

HEDGE STREET LLC, DOCK REPAIR / RECONSTRUCTION
WEST HARBOR, FISHERS ISLAND
NARRATIVE STATEMENT & SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
FEBRUARY 2011
GENERAL
The Burnham family owns parcel 1000-10-7-16 on Hedge Street located along the south
shore of West Harbor on Fishers Island. The site is generally moderately sloped, sandy gravel earth
materials and moderately landscaped with a mortared stone seawall, small lawn, trees and shrubs
along the shore. The frontage of the property is approximately 75 feet along the harbor abutted by
the Schwab family to the south and the Burr's to the north. The waterfront consists of an armored
shore seawall, bordered by stone in the upper intertidal zone with a long-standing wood pile and
timber pier with floating docks and a shoreline landing.
It is the Burnham's desire to repair this seawall and wood timber and pile supported pier
landing and floating dock facilities all waterward of the apparent (spring) high water line. The re-
built facilities will be to the same limits and dimensions of the existing structures with decking at the
same height and in some cases, approximately 10% to 25% of the pier, will require partial
reconstruction.
This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Town
of Southold, Ordinance No. 6, 2004, as well as the local Waterfront Redevelopment Plan 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
Section 661 of the NYS DEC Regulation pertaining to work in or adjacent to Tidal Wetlands is also
addressed in this narrative.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to conduct routine maintenance of
a seawall and repair of an existing, long-standing fixed wood pile and timber pier shore landing and
floating docks as depicted in the attached application drawings and described in the application
documents. All work will be done in accordance with existing guidelines set forth in the Town of
Southold ordinance No. 6, 2004. This is a continuance of a lawfully existing structure and the
residential use of the property and the use of the structure for recreational boating access are also
lawful and in compliance with the Coastal Zone Management Act of the State.
It is envisioned that this pier extension will be built utilizing the following general sequence
and methodology.
The pier marine contractor will arrive by barge with a deck-mounted crane and push boats.
The existing pier facilities will be partially disassembled, and repaired, rebuilt as necessary
and the debris removed from the site and disposed of in accordance with applicable laws,
codes and ordinances.
New piles will be driven as necessary. These piles will be driven by double-acting air hammer
to a beating resistance of approximately 20 tons. This generally results in about ten feet of
embedment of the pile in the bearing stratum. These piles will be 10-inch nominal diameter
measured 3 feet from the butt.
-1-
After the replacement piles are installed, new split caps consisting of pressure treated Southem
Pine timbers ranging from 3 x 10 to 4 x 12 nominal dimension, will be bolted to the piles
transversely. New or re-used stringers will be then laid on the split caps parallel to the length
of the pier. In all likelihood, stringers will be 3 x 10 pressure-treated Southern Pine. Framing
elevations will match existing.
The outer stringer on each side will be bolted or spiked, at any rate, re-attached to the pile to
secure the deck against uplift forces that this pier might be exposed to.
After the stringers have been connected to the piles and split caps, the decking will be
replaced. In accordance with Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6, 2004, new decking will
not be pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine, but rather oak, fir, cedar, etc. Decking could
also be Timber Tech or similar plastic composite material with the brushed side mounted up.
The synthetic decking can either be gray, brown or natural in color. Decking will in any case,
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 ~A" gap between members. In all likelihood, the
decking will be wood.
The alignment of the pier will match the existing structure throughout its length running over
the non-vegetated bottom sediments that currently exist in the intertidal zone.
The piles will extend to 42 inches above the deck surface and have horizontal rail members
mounted to them to support vertical balusters at the owner's option, with 33A-inch clear
between balusters. A horizontal hand rail will be installed on the top of the rail system.
The new hinged ramp will be re-installed so as to land on the floats as shown in the
application drawings. It is anticipated that the existing ramp will be re-used but if new, this
will probably be a wood ramp made of pressure-treated framing and posts and non-pressure
treated Southern Yellow Pine decking.
Electrical service runs out on the pier in the space between the stringers so that trickle chargers
on the boat(s) may be powered during tie-ups. In addition, the water service will be retained
to allow boats to be rinsed off after usage. A power post or box with an internal light will be
mounted to the 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 and radio controlled so that the lights will only be on when necessary for
safety of the users.
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.
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 any and all
operations.
-2-
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 3/4" bolt per connection, and in most cases, two aA" bolts.
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 the
harbor. In addition, the structure is an existing long-standing structure and will be
maintained in the same location and of the same dimensions. It does not present any
adverse modification of the shoreline, which has already been crossed by the existing
stair and landing. The pier's elevation is such that in extreme high flood tides the pier
and 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, except for the decking.
Sections of the rebuilt pier, landing and floating dock(s) will not be decked with CCA
pressure-treated Southern Pine. This pier / walkway provides a safe surface for access to
the berthed boat.
The 15-foot clearance specified in this paragraph can be met. The existing facilities are
being re-built and they are clear of structures on adjacent property. The marine railway
into the boat house is being retained as is. The railway and the boat house are within the
15-foot side yard setback.
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 other than the power post, lights and railing.
The existing pier and landing is built right to shore, in fact to the back of the boat shed.
There is little room to walk under the pier at low tide. Foot traffic is not and will not be
impeded in this area because pedestrian access is non-existent because of the developed
shorefront characteristics of this and adjacent properties. The shoreline armor stone in
front of the seawall forms an impassible transition from the shallow sub-tidal sediments
to the upland and the adjacent property along this part of West Harbor is privately owned,
similarly configured and so there is effectively not public access.
-3-
US ARMY PERMITTING
This project is covered under Nationwide Permit #3 of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
NYS DEC Tidal Wetlands Regulations - Sections 661.5 and 661.9
This project represents the repair and, to an extent limited reconstruction )10% to 25%) of
existing dock facility and routine maintenance of the seawall at the Burnham family property (Hedge
Street, LLC) at the far south end of West Harbor in the entrance to Inner Bay (Pirate's Cove). The
dock facilities to be rebuilt include a pier and pier landing over the intertidal zone as well as a set of
floating docks accessed by ramps from the pier. No work is required on the boat shed. The float
restraint piles hold the floats and dock in place as shown in the application drawings. 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. There is a small area of tidal wetlands vegetation (300+/-SF) just south of the pier landing
and that vegetation will not be disturbed.
This pier, landing and floating dock facility was repaired in the 1990's. Routine maintenance
of the se3awall has been done on "as needed" basis. The DEC permitting at the time determined that
no permit was necessary for that minor reconstruction / restoration work.
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.
It should be noted that this project is the repair and partial reconstruction (10% to 25%) of a
long-standing dock facility. The existing pier landing runs beneath the dock shed. A small area,
Tidal wetlands vegetation does exist south of the pier at the southeasterly comer of the Burnham
property at the interface between the existing seawall and the exposed rock-covered, sandy bottom
sediments in the intertidal zone. This vegetation however, does not constitute a tidal wetlands. The
total area of the vegetation is approximately 300 SF and is located approximately 5 feet north of the
northerly-most section of the wood pile supported pier landing at the end of the Schwab's right of
way.
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 as this work is
repair and partial, limited reconstruction of an existing long-standing facility. The project is a
restoration of a long-standing waterfront seawall and dock facility structure and is compatible
with the use of the site, zoning and the long-standing use of the site.
This project will not have an undo or adverse impact on the present or potential value of
nearby tidal wetlands vegetation. There are no tidal wetlands on the west side of the inlet to
Pirate's Cove. Virtually all of the shoreline is developed shorefront.

Town of Southold - 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 from the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
are appropriate.
Policy 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to conduct routine repair work on fully functional
water dependent uses, a seawall for property protection and a docking facility for recreational boating
at this waterfront site.
Policy 5 - Use of Existing Developed Shorefront - This project will be primarily to conduct routine
maintenance of a long-standing seawall and to repair and rebuild as necessary, a dock facility to a
logical shoreward point of origin, clear of sensitive habitat or tidal wetlands and restore it to be 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 existing pier and landing begin at the
seawall. Four feet or more of height will continue to be maintained above bottom sediments at the
mean low water line. The intertidal zone is gravel, sand and occasionally moderate-sized stone.
There will be no change to the dimension, height or amount of structure which might affect fish
habitat.
Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has also been
considered in this project and the seawall and dock structure are being kept to their existing
configuration, and will be repaired consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in
the Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004 set forth by the Town of Southold.
Policy 11 - Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The pier reconstruction project will be
conducted in such a way so as to minimize damage to natural resources as identified in Policy 7 above
by alignment and elevation. The point of pier landfall is the seawall. There is no tidal wetlands or
submerged aquatic vegetation in the inter-tidal or shallow sub-tidal zone one at this dock site and the
small patch of tidal wetlands vegetation further south will not be disturbed.
Policy 14 - No Measurable Increase in Flooding - This project consists of routine maintenance of an
open wood pile and timber pier that will in no way adversely affect water flow and circulation in the
harbor or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels all around Fishers Island are dictated by water
levels in Long Island Sound, Fishers Island Sound and Block Island Sound and this structure will have
no adverse influence on those flood levels.
Policy 15 - No Dredging - Dredging is not required in this project. The existing floating dock system
was laid out and configured to avoid dredging requirements consistent with NYS DEC guidelines.
The pier end and floating docks are in 3 to 4 of water. The water in this cove does get appreciably
deeper further out, however, to build a pier and float of adequate length to reach beyond 4 feet of water
is not necessary.
-5-
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 no public access usage of the public trust lands or waters at
this site and public trust lands are moderately sized stones making passage dangerous. The intertidal
zone hosts a small out-crop of spartina just south of the dock site and there has been no observed
submerged aquatic vegetation in their area during the past 10 years during which regular observations
have been made. 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 existing adjoining properties and land uses has also been considered in this
project. The Schwab's and the Burr's properties have docking facilities similar to this one and this
docking facility will not interfere with these existing facilities on immediately adjoining properties nor
will it impact navigation in the travel-way leading in towards Pirate's Cove.
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 boating and water
recreation without adversely affecting water point access by the the neighbors.
Policy 24 -Scenic Resources, Impairment or Loss - This policy is designed to prevent impairment or
loss of scenic resources. The reconstruction of the inland section of the structure, the fixed wood pile
and timber pier and landing, will not represent any new encroachment or structure which would create
a loss of scenic resources.
Policy 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic Quality - The new dock structure will be consistent with the
scenic quality of the area that has existed for decades and will not adversely affect scenic resources as
described in Policy 24 above, and will not adversely impact the scenic quality of West Harbor; the
structure is only visible to the public straight north of Pirate's Cove (Inner Bay).
Policy 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - It is acknowledged that the small fringe colony of
spartina alteruiflora along the shorefront would be a valuable resource, however, it is so small and such
a very limited resource that it cannot be considered valuable habitat. Nonetheless, the routine
maintenance of the seawall and pier will match the configuration of the long-standing dock facility at
this site and should allow the continued health of the spartina fringe marsh adjacent to the wood pier.
SUMMARY
This project will retain and maintain an existing, long-standing seawall and dock facility for
recreational boating access for the Bumham's home and property on Fishers Island. A copy of past US
Army Corps of Engineers, NYS DEC and Town of Southold applications are attached as substantiation
for this project. This project is consistent with regulations for this work at this location. No mitigative
or compensatory measures are required.
This routine maintenance project complies with applicable standards of the New York State
Coastal Management Act and Local Ordinance No. 6, 2004 and its approval is respectfully requested.
Respectfully submitted,
