Dear Mr. Haje:
In Recent years the Southold Town Board of Trustees have never
approved an application for a new groin or expanding an existing
functional groin. Although that is not likely to change, we
will table your application and await further communication from
you.

Dear Ms. Peterson:
Confirming my conversation of today March 15, 1994 w~th your secretary "Carol", please be
advised 'tl~kt as adjacent property owners, we would be adversely affected by the proposed
"groin".
Enclosed are copies of prior correspondence I scm to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Department of Public Works and John Holzapfel and Martin Garrell Trustees of the Town of
Southold addressing the erosion problem that has eroded the beachfrom and bulkheads along
the shoreline.
Incidentally there is not "an existing non functional groin" as the notice indicates. What exists
are remains of a wooden pier used to anchor boats.
Since a negative declaration is already on ~e, we are hopeful that you will also negate any
proposed approval.
Very truly yours,
Frank Ali
FA/nk
Enc.
P.S. Please note that Mud Creek is presently being dredged and the surplus material is being
distributed along the~i~mr~eline as in the past, and hopefully this will materially abate the
situation for all concerned.

Re: Public Notice # 93-13920-L2 - Expiration Date - 12/29/93
Applicant: Sarah Gicale
Dear Mr. Seebode:
We are opposed to the applicants reques! to construct a groin as the structure would exacerbate
what is already a very serious problem.
The applicant indicates that they propose to reconstruct an existing groin and that the "Existing
Stone has sunk to a depth not readily attainable by exeavation".
Based on photographs we have on file taken over many years, the property never had an existing
groin. What did exist was a pier used to anchor boats.
We can appreciate that the Gieales are anxious to preserve their property, but they should not do
so to the detriment of their neighbors.
To illustrate the problem we are facing, [ enclose a copy of a letter addressed to Mr. James Hagerty
concerning an illegal jetty erected by one of the property owners Donald Kronenberg which has
materially contributed to the beach erosion.
We believe that if Mr. Kronenberg removes his illegal jetty and we receive the surplus material from
Mud Creek as was done in the past, the Gicales would be spared the expense of a groin and the
erosion problem would be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
Thank you for whatever assistance you can render on our behalf.
Sincerely yours,
l~cank Ali

RE: District 1,00 Sec.
Owners - ]
Gentlemen:
You will recall that several weeks ago you and Robert Keith ~v.is!te.d our property and
spok, e to my wife concerning an application filed by our adjoining neighbor :Sarah
GUamE0t to'have a "groin" erected on her property.
Attached are copies of a letter I have sent to Mr. Seabode of the U.S. Army Corps. of
Engineers and Mr. Hagerty of the New York District Corps. of Engineers, whose names
were furnished to us by Robert Keith, concerning this matter.
We ~vere immediately contacted by peter Ragone of the Department of Public Works who
indicated that Mud Creek was scheduled for dredging as soon as weather permited, and
he assured us that he would do his utmost to place some of the surplus material on our
beach front.
I am pleased that last ~veek they started dredging Mud Creek and pipes have been
placed along the shoreline, but have not as yet reached our property.
I read in the January 13th issue of The Suffolk Times - page 3 that the council members
have agreed that Town Trustees should have the "ultimate authority in designating
which creeks are to be dredged and where the resulting~poils are placed"
In view of this we would be most grateful if you can intervene on our behalf to make
certain that we receive some of the surplus material as our beachfront is practically
gone, and we are fearful that we will lose our bulkhead and steps to the beach unless
the erosion problem is abated.
We thank you for whatever input and assistance you can render.
Sincerely yours,
Ene.

RE: SARAH GICALE - ~93-13920-L2
Dear Ms. Ettinger:
This letter is in response to yours of March 22, 1994,
which enclosed a January 20, 1994, letter from the U. So
Fish and Wildlife Service and a February 1, 1994, letter
from the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The retaining wall on the property was replaced in 1993.
At that time, the beach was significantly wider. Conse-
quently, the length of the sheathing was designed with
that current beach profile. Subsequent to the installa-
tion, the beach has receded, we suspect due to the in-
stallation of the stone groin immediately west of the
subject property.
Our proposal to rebuild the existing groin constitutes an
attempt to retain the beach in order that the retaining
wall not be undermined and the house, which is located
some 15 yards landward, become threatened. It seems to
have been overlooked that the proposal is to reconstruct
an existing stone groin and not to construct a completely
new structure.
The pre-filling was proposed in anticipation of concerns
regarding downdrift scouring and has been successfully
employed in many situations in the past. Recently, the
Suffolk County Department of Public Works has placed
Ms. Sophie Ettinger - 2 - April 14, 1994
spoil on the shoreline to the east of the subject
property for dredged spoil placement from the operation
at East Creek. This enlarged the shorefront, but the
County's equipment was inadequate to reach the Gicale
property although it was originally intended for spoil
placement as were the others to the east.
The result is that property to the east is wider because
of t~e.dredged spoil p!~cem~nt while property to the west
is wider due to the gro~n field that exists there. Only
the Gicale property and asmall extent of the parcel to
the east is extremely narrow.
We find it ironic that objections to the small amount of
pre-filling ha~e been raised while no apparent objec-
tions were raised to a much larger project undertaken by
the County.
The beach in question is 100% sand containing no vege-
tated wetlands. It is far too shallow to harbor the
species listed in both letters, and neither recreational
nor commercial shellfishing occurs upon or near it. The
nearest activities are more than 150' offshore in the
waters of the Peconic Bay.
A visit to the area will reveal that many other groins of
both stone and timber construction tothe westward. Un-
fortunately, the Gicale location immediately east oft his
field leaves her property completelyvulnerable. Had she
more assiduously maintained the three groins present on
the properuy, this situation would not have arisen. How-
ever, we do not feel that she should be prevented from
maintaining her property in the form it previously took.

Gentlemen:
You will recall that several weeks ago you and Robert Keith visited our property and
spoke to my wife concerning an application flied by our adjoining neighbor Sarah
Guaiacol to have a "groin" erected on her property.
Attached are copies of a letter I have sent to Mr. Seabode of the U.S. Army Corps. of
Engineers and Mr. Hagerty of the New York District Corps. of Engineers, whose names
were furnished to us by Robert Keith, concerning this matter.
We were immediately contacted by Peter Ragone of the Department of Public Works who
indicated that Mud Creek was scheduled for dredging as soon as weather permited, and
he assured us that he would do his utmost to place some of the surplus material on our
beachfront.
I am pleased that last week they stained dredging Mud Creek and pipes have been
placed along the shoreline, but have not as yet reached our property.
I read in the January 13th issue o~The Suffolk Times - page 3 that the council members
have agreed that Town Trustees should have the "ultimate authority in designating
which creeks are to be dredged and where the resulting spoils axe placed"
In view of this we would be most grateful if you can intervene on our behalf to make
certain that we receive some of the surplus material as our beachfront is practically
gone, and we are fearful that we will lose our bulkhead and steps to the beach unless
the erosion problem is abated.
We thank you for whatever input and assistance yon can render.
Sincerely yours,
Frank Ali

Wetlands Application - Gicale
SCTM #1000-I 10-7-17
Dear Mr. Kmpski,
I have completed my preliminary review of the above referenced application as
requested. The follovang comments and analysis are arrived at in consideration of the
project as it relates to the State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA"J and
Chapter 97 of the Town Code ("Wetlands").
With respect to SEQRA, the file indicates that an application for wetlands permit
was received by the Trustees on November 22, 1993. The Environmental ,~sessment
Form ("EAF") accompanying the application reveals that an application for a Tidal
Wetlands Permit was submitted to the NYSDEC in November of 1993 ~ NYSDEC
coordinated this Type 1 Action with the Trustees, the notice of which was received by fhe
Trustees on January 14, 1994. The Trustees also attempted to coordinate this action but
did So onFebruary 16, 1994. By then. NYSDEC had apparently assumed Lead Agency.
On Febm~ 23, '19.94, NYSDEC deemed the application complete and rendered a
Negative Declaration. The significance ofth~ above events are such that the designation
of Lead Agency Is final and no Environmental Impact Statement was required by the Lead
Agency. Therefore, the Trustees can not require an Environmental Impact Statement for
this~proposed action.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustees are still bound to evaluate the proposed
project with respect to the requirements set forth in Chapter 97 of the Town Code.
Among other standards, the Trustees may only adopt a resolution directing the issuance of
a permit where it finds that the project will not substantially cause ddtraagefrom erosion,
turbidity or siltation. In my view, any determination to issue or deny a permit at this
juncture would be pre-mature as there are some important deficiencies in the application.
The deficiencies are set forth below:
(1) The application form should disclose the cubic yards to be filled as consistent
with the sketch submitted with the application.
(2) The following requ/rement set forth in 97-21(1)) of the Town Code has not
been satisfied: A description of the area from which the removal or in which the deposit
of material is proposed or in which structures are to be erected The description shall be
by bearing and distance and shall be based on a local coordinate system. The starting
point of the description shall be appropriately referenced to a permanent reference point
or monument. The usual way to satisfy this requirement is by survey.
(3) All wetland permit applications require a survey certified by a registered land
surveyor or registered professional engineer, licensed by the State of New York. No
survey is provided With the application. Additionally, topographical information showing
one foot contours is required (See 97-21(G) of the Town Code).
(4) 97-21 (H) of the Town Code requires that a statement of the effect on
wet]ands and tidal waters be submitted with the Application. I can find no such stammem.
(5) 97-21 (J) of the Town Code requires documentary proof that all other
necessary permits and approvals have been obtained. We know- that approvals from other
agencies are still pending. However, the Applicant may request (in writing) a waiver of
this provision and the Trustees are empowered to grant said waiver.
(6) The Environmental Assessment Form ("EAF") is generally adequate.
However, Item #A-3 (predominant soils) should be addressed in relation to the entire site_
not just the beach. Further, it is impossible to evaluate the slopes found on the s~te in the
absence of the required topographical information Finally, it may be prudent to reveal the
high tide, low tide and the existence of the existing groin as a means of determining
whether the proposed project is a reconstruction of an existing groin or an expansion. The
usual way of doin~ this is by survey.
In smranary, while I believe that the Trustees can not require an Impact Statement
for this project, the responsibility remains that the project be shown not to be in variance
with the Standards set fomh in the Wetland Ordinance. In order to get at the latter, it is
recommended that the application be amended in accordance with the above. Attached
herewith is a resolution for the Board's consideration.
Sincerely,
Bruce A. Anderson

RE: SARAH GICALE -

Dear Trustees:
I am in receipt of your January 21, 1994, letter and
would like to clarify the intent of our application.
You state that the Board has "... never approved an
application for a new groin or expandinq an existing
functional groin."' The groin that we seek to reconstruct
has been in place for many years. The severe storms of
1992 and 1993 damaged the structure and lowered its pro-
file so that its function has been diminished. This
diminution has exacerbated loss of the beach, which in
turn is threatening the integrity of a recently recon-
structed bulkhead. If the elevation of the beach con-
tinues to drop, the bulkhead will be undermined, back-
fill lost, and the house behind threatened.
Your Board should have no fear of setting a precedent as
it has approved other similar projects. This structure
is located along a section of shoreline that is fully
bulkheaded and exhibits many other groins made both of
stone and timber.
We wish to proceed with this application and are confi-
dent that we can demonstrate its necessity and compati-
bility.
Town of Southold Board of Trustees - 2 - February 3, 1994
Please place on your agenda for the next available hear-
ing.

RE: SARAH GICALE - ~F-93-760
Dear Mr. Vienneau:
As per your letter of November 24, i993, please consider
the following responses to your questions and requests
with respect to the 33 foot long capstone groin proposed
by the applicant, Mrs. Sarah Gicale.
1) The subject site lies within an area that contains
many other groins, some constructed of wood, others of
stone. Most of these are functional, while others are in
disrepair. All of them, however, create obstacles to
pedestrian passage along the foreshore. On the subject
parcel, high water now strikes the bulkhead as a result
of the diminished function of the existing groin. If,
however, this structure were to be rebuilt, we expec~
that the beach area would also build up resulting in a
greater passable area.
Moreover, replacement of this existing structure is
unlikely to affect access along the shoreline or to
existing shellfish resources offshore. As a shoal exists
up to 100 yards offshore of the structure, the water is
too shallow for significant sc~llop populations and hard
clams are taken primarily by upland owners on a
recreational basis. Any commercial clamming done by boat
would be unaffected by the project.
Additionally, this structure is ~a replacement of an
existing structure and is not "new,'. The existing
structure has existed with other groins at this site for
approximately 25 years. Therefore, if any new cumulative
effect could be expected, it would be the replenishment
of the project site beachfront.
2) The area to be filled either by capstone or pre-
filling is approximately 817 square feet.
3) Please note that in a letter to you dated January 4,
1994, we revised our plans to show predominant littoral
drift from west to east, contrary to the original sketch.
In order to minimize downdrift scour~ we have proposed
pre-filling updrift west of the groin, the remedy often
suggssted by your agency, as well as others. Using this
method, sand is expected to flow around the structure
causing little, if any, scour downdrift. That the
downdrift beach east of the proposed groin was not
scoured is attested to by the fact that the str~cture
previously existed with a downdrift beach. Thus, there
would be no s~gnificant effects upon public access~
wetland or habitat values.
Furthermore, since we do not expect any major
reconfiguration of the shoreline, we see any potential
downdrift transition from coastal shoals to littoral zone
as minimal. Please note also that the area to the east
is bulkheaded with the structure that extends farther
seaward than that present on the subject property.
4) I have enclosed a photograph of the old groin. It
retains some function as evidenced by the configuration
of the shorleine on either side.
5) Contrary to what we originally indicated, access to
the site will be via Pequash Avenue and not Hamilton
Avenue. Therefore, the transit distance for the
equipment will be approximately 150 feet.
6) The bulkhead return to the east has been in existence
for about 25 years. It serves a minimal function of a
groin as it extends farther seaward than the bulkhead on
the subject property. However, as it is not long enough
to effectively hold the project site beach, it is
insufficient for our purposes..
Moreover, the project site beach has not reached a state
of equilibrium with respect to sand migration. The
existing groin to the west is causing severe scouring to
the project site beach which can 6nly be alleviated by
insulation of the rebuilt groin.
Finally, please find enclosed a written assessment
pursuant to the FCAF "Additional Steps #2".
Very truly yours,
REH

considered by the Corpsof Engineers to determine whether to issue,
modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this
decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered
species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects, and the other public interest factors listed above.
Comments are used in preparation of an Environmental Assessment
and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the
need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public
interest of the proposed activity.
ALL COMMENTS REGARDING THE PERMIT APPLICATION MUST BE PREPARED
IN WRITIN~ND~TLED TO REACH THIS OFFICE BEFORE THE EXPIRATION
DATE OF THIS NOTICE~ otherwise, it will be presumed that there are
no objections to the activity.
Any person may request, in writing, before this public notice
expires, that a public hearing be held to collect information
necessary to consider this application. Requests for public
hearings shall state, with particularity, the reasons why a public
hearing should be held. It should be noted that information
submitted by mail is considered just as carefully in the permit
decision process and bears the same weight as that furnished at a
public hearing.
Our preliminary determination is that the activity for which
authorization is sought herein is not likely to affect any
Federally endangered or threatened species or their critical
habitat. However, pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act (16 U.S.C. 1531), the District Engineer is consulting with the
appropriate Federal agency to determine the presence of and
potential impacts to listed species in the project area or their
critical habitat.
Based upon a review of the properties listed or eligible for
listing in the latest available version of the National Register
of Historic Places, there appears to be no sites included in the
Register within the permit area. Presently unknown archaeological,
scientific, pre-historic or historical data may be lost by work
accomplished under the required permit.
Review of activities pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act will include application of the guidelines promulgated
by the Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under
authority of Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act and the
applicant will obtain a water quality certificate or waiver from
the appropriate state agency in accordance with Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act prior to a permit decision.

WORK DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Sarah Gicale, has requested Department of the Army
authorization to construct a groin and place fill in Cutchogue
Harbor at Cutchoque, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York.
The work would involve construction of approximately 33 linear feet
of 1-3 ton capstone groin placed over an existing deteriorated non-
functional groin to a maximum elevation of approximately 7.25 feet.
Approximately 75 cubic yards of sand would be used to prefill the
beach area downdrift of the proposed groin.
The stated purpose of the proposed work is to stabilize the
existing shoreline.

Dear M~. Krupski:
P~E: Sara Gicale
SCTM#110-7-17
Enclosed are duplieate copies of correspondence previously submitted to the
Tovm Trustees~ indicating that we are opposed to the applicant's request to
construct a groin adjacent to our Droperty.
It is ou~ understanding that a groin can only be built over an existing one.
as the enclosed photos taken Jan. l~ 1993, will substantiate, this is not an
existing groin where the Gicale's propose to build a groin. What you see are
the remains of pilings (since sawed off) v~ich supported a dock.
The re~ins of 2 existing groins are west of the dock pilLugs.
The groin, a 7'3,, structure, will cause fUrther erosion problems, undermining
the bulkhead of the property o~ers east of the Gicale~s~ and render the beach-
front vlrtuallyimpassable.
The March !0, 199& issue of ~he Suffolk Times - Legal Notices - indi-cated that
,~A coordinated review with other agencies was oerformed and a Ne~ative D~Mtaratinn
is on file.
In view of the foregoings we appeal to the Board of Trustees vo act in a
prudent marker to safeguard our interests by rejecting the proposed application.

Dear Mr. Hagerty:
The Southold Town Board of Trustees have suggested I contact you concerning an
environmental and erosion problem that has virtually rendered our beachfront property,
as well as our neighbors, unusable and is also under undermining the bulkheads along the
shoreline.
The predominant cause of this problem is an ~egal jetty comprised of sizeable boulders
erected by Donald Kronenberg residing off Pequash Avenue on the East Road (telephone
734-5577).
We understand this matter is within your jurisdiction since we believe Mr. Kronenberg did
not apply for a legal permit.
Several years ago we complained to the Dept. of Environmental Conservation and Mr.
Obenauer requested Mr. Kxonenberg to abate the problem by removing boulders.
Rather than comply, Mr. Kronenberg continues to extend this obstruction further into the
bay thereby widening his bay frontage.
Aside from the erosion and environmental problem, the submerged boulders present a
ba~nrd to boaters and vacationers who water ski in the area.
The Town Hall has an aerial photograph of the area taken many years ago which will attest
to the fact that the Kronenberg jetty was not then in existence.
As the attached photos substantiate, if this unfortunate situation is not abated, all of the
property owners having beach front property will sustain a diminuation of property values
and incur considerable expense to repair or replace bulkheads.
We understand that the town now has sufficient funds to reinstate dredging of Mud Creek
(Entrance to Broadwater Cove) on the lza~t End. In the past the surplus material was
deposited along the shoreline protecting the bulkheads.
Perhaps ~you can arrange to reinstate this procedure on our behalf. We have an "Access
& Spoil Area Permit" indenture on file with the Department of Public Works which is in
effect until August 1995.
This is obviously a matter of great concern to the affected property owners.
Whatever you can do to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated and remembered.
Sincerely yours,
Frank Ali
