RESOLVED that the Town Trustees Approve the request of Eh-Consultants on behalf of William Griffo to amend permit number 3859 to state the following: Construct 2 low profile timber groins. The easterly groin will be 40' in length; the westerly, 50' Each of the groins will be prefil!ed with a total of 350=/- c.y. of clean sand to be brought~in from an upland site. Replace (within 18") the lowest and intermediate bulkheads, each of which are 150' in length. Returns of 10' may also have to be replaced. Approximately 55 c.y. of sand, loam and top soil from an upland source will be used to backfill these structures. All other terms and conditions in the original permit granted shall remain. The amended permit shall take effect upon receipt of payment of the following fees: No additional fees. truly yours, John M. Bredemeyer, III President, Board of Trustees JMB:jmt cc: CAC, Bldg. Dept.

As you may be aware, the request to install groins was previously filed with the NYSDEC and other involved regulatory agencies. As a result of severe beach loss, it became necessary to replace the bulkhead on an emergency basis. The only way to obtain a NYSDEC permit to accomplish this was to withdraw without prejudice the application for groins. The bulkhead has now been replaced, and we now are returning to our original request to install groins as a long-term solution to the beach erosion problem. The prior file contains many documents which contain information and verification of the need for this structure. The Southold Board of Trustees was designated lead agency under SEQRA, issued a negative declaration, and a permit. I have attached a copy of their approval, as well as a long EAF, as requested. Our original request was for groins of greater length but without pre-filling. The latter aspect of the current 'Mr. Mark Carrara - 2 - July 3, 1991 project stems from a request by the New York State Department of State, which believes that it will minimize potential down-drift scour. I have included copies oft heir correspondence requesting the pre-filling, our acquiescence thereto, and the NYSDOS certification of consistency to the revised project. We believe that this constitutes verification that the project overcomes the presumption of incompatibility under the Tidal Wetlands Act, as the reason for the filling is to minimize or eliminate what the Department of State perceives to be a greater environmental detri- ment. It is also our belief that filling the structures with clean sand fill will have only a temporary and localized effect upon the substrate. Any benthic in-fauna will be able to inhabit the newly placed material, resulting in little or no loss of productivity. No vegetated wetlands are present~ which would otherwise be filled. The need for the project is obvious. The subject parcel lies in the middle of a groin field of long-standing presence. The beaches on either side are wider and more stable. A request to install groins in an otherwise pristine area can have a significant down-drift effect. Here, however, where both groins and bulkheads exist on both sides, no significant effect is anticipated. A recent discussion with Michael Corey of the Department of State revealed his belief that the two Departments had reaohed agreement on pre-filling. He was s~rised to learn that the NYSDEC is once again opposing, or at least tentatively objecting tof pre-filling. The applicant does not wish to be placed in a position where two agencies have opposing policies. I hope that this difference can be resolved and that the project can go forward immediately to avoid further damage to the shoreline. Mr. Mark Carrara - 3 - July 3, 1991 Should you have any further questions, please let me Very truly yours, RLH:KD Enclosures co: William Griffo NYSDOS - $F-90-357 ~90-0554-12 old Trustees Roy L. Haje President EN.CONSULTANTS, 1329 NORTH SEA ROAD, SOUTHAMPTON, NEW YORK 11968 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 516-283-6360 FAX NO. 516-283-6136 March 22, 1991 Mrs. Marilyn Peterson New York State Department of Environmental Conservation SUNY, Building 40 Stony Brook, New York 11794 Re: William Griffo ~1-4738-00177 Dear Mrs. Peterson: As I advised you in my previous letter, the lowest and intermediate retaining walls are beginning to fail due to the loss of the beach front which in turn is due to the lack of a DEC approval to install the groins. If allowed to proceed, the highest retaining wall will similarly begin to fail which will cause the deck and pool and eventually the house to be damaged and/or destroyed. Obviously, this situation must be remedied immediately. As per our discussion~ I enclose revised work plans indicating not only the groins and prefilling, which was required by the Department of State, but also the replacement within 18" of the 2 lower bulkheads. The project description is now as follows: Construct 2 low profile timber groins. The easterly groin will be 40' in length; the westerly, 50'. Each of the groins will be prefilled with a total of 350 ± c.y. of clean sand to be brought in from an upland site. Replace (within 18") the lowest and intermediate bulkheads, each of which are 150' in length. Returns of 10' may also have to be replaced. Approximately 55 c.y. of sand, loam and top soil from an upland source ~Till be used to backfill these structures. Mrs. Marilyn Peterson March 22, 1991 Page Two We understand that filling of the area below MLW is a presumptively incompatible activity. However, in this instance we believe that this incompatibility can be overcome by the nature Of the project and its need. Only a relatively small portion of the fill will be below the line of MLW. Since prefilling was required by the Department of State and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a means of mitigating down-drift scour. It will ultimately be beneficial to the integrity of the shoreline. Further, since clean fill will be used, there should be little or no impediment to b~ntb, ic dwelling invertebrates rising through the newly placed fill and colonizing it. There will be no adverse effect upon shore and wading birds as this action will only tend to preserve the shallow water zone which is being eroded away at the present time. Finally, enclosed please find my check in the amount of $200 to make the total fee submitted to date $410. I trustthat you will be able to issue a Notice of Complete Application immediately and, following the comment period, issue a permit promptly so that work can commence immediately. By copy of this letter and revised work plan, I am requesting modifications from other involved regulatory agencies with the similar request that review be expedited in order to avoid serious damage to this property and the waters of Southold Bay.

When compared to current conditions, the high water line is at the bulkhead on the west side and 12' from it on the east side. As the notation on the old survey indicates the high water locations as of July 23, 1974, the erosion rate on the west side is 1.56' per year and on the east side 2.44' per year. The elevation of the beach at the bulkhead appears to have dropped 2' to 3' While no backfill has yet been lost, this appears to be inevitable unless corrective measures are taken. I have considered your request to reduce the length of the groins and that of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to reduce the length of the easterly groin to 40'. Given the direction of littoral drift and the distance to the next easterly groin, the 40' length of the easterly groin is reasonable and hereby adopted. Mr. Michael Corey - 2 - August 23, 1990 Prefilling would be acceptable as long as it is approvable by other agencies. Our review of the cross-section indicates that the groins will be approximately 2' above grade which should qualify as a "low profile" structure. I would appreciate your and other agency conunents on our revised groin proposal. Very truly yours, RLH:KD Roy L.

The CAC disapproves the requested 354 ' of timber retaining wall because no need is demonstrated. The CAC suggests a natural planting of spartina in "cleared area" would prevent any fruther erosion and any leaching into the pond. The CAC recommends approval of the proposed floats. Foot of Gull Pond, Greenport Vote of Council: Ayes: All Motion carried. Wetland Application No. 6-3-90-87-5-1 of Howard Ludecker was tabled. Wetland Application No. 6-2-90-106-4-1 of Sebastian Cove Property Owners Assoc. was tabled. RESOVLED to recommend to the Southold Town Trustees ~ of Wetland Application No. 6-6-90-76-3-23.1 of Thomas Zukas to construct a dock and float. The CAC approves provided the dock does not extend into the creek as to block navigation. The matter of nonjurisdiction cannot be determined since the location of the well and sanitary system was not provided. Smith Drive South, Southold Vote of Council: Ayes: All Motion carried RESOLVED to recommend to the Southold Town Trustees disapproval of Wetland Application No. 7-1-90-81-1-19 of William Griffo to construct two groins. The CAC recommends disapproval because the establishment of groins is bad not in the best interests of the environment, groins create problems and exacerbate a bad situation. Basin Road, Southold Vote of Council: Ayes: All Mot[on carried. Regarding the Larry T~tlS|fl application no. 1-14-90-117-5-46. The CAC feels the project would do more damage to the environment that it would prevent the loss of some land.
