Stanley Corwin, Esq. appeared before the Board to represent
A.B. Rosenberg. Mr. Corwin stated that it is not the applicant's
intention to commercialize the area and that he is not going to
put any docks on the easterly side of the property. The Chairman
questioned Mr. Corwin as to whether or not this is a commercial
venture. Mr. Corwin stated that it was. Mr. Co,win stated that
the purpose of the application was to dredge 350-500 yards, for
maintenance purposes only, ~nd to deposit the fill on the
applicant's own property.
Mr. Harry Rocker, the adjoining property owner immediately
to the south, stated that he has been advised of plans which Mr.
Rosenberg has to drive pilings all the way down to his property
line and to install an additional 6-8 floats.
Mr. Go~smith said that Mr. Rosen~erg came to see him when
he fo'~nd out about the Board's objection to enlarging this. Mr.
Rosenberg stated to Mr. Goldsmith that he did not intend to
enlarge it, but that ~is would be maintenance dredging only for
the boats presently being moored there. Mr. Goldsmith stated,
for the record, that the Board would not approve of enlarging
the marina any further. The letter from the Board of Appeals,
dated September 12th was read. Robert W. Gillispie, Jr. stated
in this letter that it is his personal opinion, supported by
conversation with the Town Attonm~y, that the Board of Appeals
would not be justified in granting, under these conditions, an
expansion of a non-conforming use, in view of the history of
this area.
Mr. Corwin stated again, that this application is not to
enlarge, only to maintain.
Mr. Goldsmith stated that this application must be revised
before it can be granted. The amount of dredging should be
reduced drastically. The secretary was instructed to return

Dear Mr. Martocchia:
p. 185
In presenting the budget request of the Town Trustees
for the year 1976, we res~ectfullyurge that the budget
committee be made aware of the fact that the contingency
for legal co~uasel not be overlooked this year.
The Trustees were criticized last year for not having
advised the Town Board of the necessity of hiringccounsel
to de~end the Town's rights in our wetlands, in spite of
the fact that we~had requested money for that purpose in
our budget for 1975.
It has. now become imperative that the Trustees continue
/.~th?ir legal battle, if a re-hearing is granted in the case
Re. New YOrk State..vs. Rambo.
