Dr. Benjamin has no permit from us, but had been given permission in FebmatT 2006 to put up deer fence by xvrapping it around rock and trees, but not to put posts in. He had a few months ago met wit Jim at the property with regards to his fence due to deer ripping through some of the fence, but we have not heard from lmn since. Can you please look into this possible violation. Please make note that getting onto thc property may be an issue, I believe he has a locked front gate. Let us know if you need us to contact hhn ~vith regards to getting onto the property. Thank you. 54375 MAIN ROAD P O BOX 1179 SOUTIIOI.D, NY 11971 Vallo Benjamin, M.D. Professor of Neurosurgery NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE January 10, 2006 Department of Neurosurgery 530 First Avenue, Suite 7W New York, NY 10016-6497 Telephone: (212) 263-5013 Facsimile: (212) 263-6907 ATTN: Lauren Standish, Secretarial Assistant co James King, Presment own of Southold Board of Trustees Southold Town Hall PO Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971-0959 Tele: (631) 765-1892 Via Fax (631.~} 765-6641 RE: Deer damage ,vt~. ~ lust spoke to Ms. Lauren Standish.

The property consists of 3 acres, and has 300+-feet of shoreline on the Long Island Sound. In year 2000, 1 purchased a 23 acre contiguous property west of my home, with 500+ linear-feet along the Long Island Sound shore. lu year 2001, I planted 10 acres of vineyard, and I'm in the process of planting an additional acre in the same location on the north side of the property. After the initial planting, 1 put a limited deer-fence to protect the vineyard. I'll now have to expand this to inclade my house property, as well as to the additional wine planting area. Last year, nay vineyard and house property was landscaped with great expense (approximately $190,000) by VerDerBer's Landscape Nursery, Inc. Last winter, I had severe deer damage to the plants of the vineyard area, as well as to the house. Enclosed you'll find a copy of the letter from Mr. John VerDerBer, the owner of the Nursery, indicating that "the deers have killed or damaged about 50% of these plantings and recommending that "deer fencing be installed to prevent further economic Last year, I cootacted the Mr. Chris Arfsten (Regional Deer Biologist at the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation) at (631) 444-0311, and he supplied me with detailed information concerning management of the deers, and he suggested that the best way to prevent further deer damage would be barriers including (in order of effectiveness) a metal fence, a plastic barner, and an electric fence. Unfortunately, an electric fence is short-lived since deers get used to them. The plastic bamer can be installed (and removed, if necessary) in a short period of time, without any damage to the land and the trees. l've contacted a well-established fim~, Riverhead Fencing Inc., and have asked them to give me a proposal to put an 8' dual split- rail plastic fence which will be connected only to the existing trees on the waterfront area, with no damage to the trees. This method will secare the fence without any posts or ol~jects penetrating the soil. I've enclosed multiple pictures of this fence for your review, and I have the survey map for the property and the proposal for this temporary measure. However, the exact location of the fence may vary depending on the existing trees. All efforts will be made to placfi.e~s-.bxarrier as far from the shoreli,ne as possible. I must remind you that we re already having deer damage, which smr~,d sometil~e in late-November 2005. I m asking you to review my proposal and let me know your opinion and solution to th(~l difficult p~lem as soon as possible· My contact inlbnnation is indicated below.
