Planning Board Board of Appeals file PUBLIC HEARING IN THE MATTER OF REYNOLDS DUPONT ON BEHALF OF GOOSE ISLAND CORPORATION NOTICE IS H~.REBY GIVEN THAT A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD BY THE TOWN TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD, AT THE SOUTHOLD TOWN HALL, MAIN ROAD, SOUTHOLD, NEW YORK ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1987 ON THE FOLLOWING APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE WETLAND ORDINANCE OF THE '~fOWN. In the matter of the application of Reynolds duPont on behalf of the Goose Island Corporation: Trustee Smith: Does anyone have any comments they would like to make on this application? No response. Do any of the TrusTees have any comments? Trustee Bredemeyer: Yes, I think they should have a pump out facility. This project went on without a Trustee Permit somewhat due to the untimely death of Mr. Sanger over on the island. I think the Board Cs in a position, and has been, on all expansion or for major reconstructions of marinas to require some kind of a pump out facility. I think, owing to the very large price tag for this project and that it will accommodate very large boats and it also included a major renovation to the petroleum operation there, it will attract a lot of boaters. Increased boat traffic is something that may foster additional trips to Fishers Island and people have to navigate through West Harbor where there are several commercial shellfish operations and if pump out facilities do start to get rebuilt and start coming up to some standards or'even . rudimentary existance, people are going to come to expect pump out. If they hit a facility that does not have it, they will probably discharge on the way out if they are not familiar with the area. Then they will be discharging in shellfish beds. Trustee Krupski: I like that idea Jay. What kind of pump out facility are you talking about? Trustee Bredemeyer: Well, I would think that the applicant showed the ability to build a beautiful marina, the process went on with out us, why don't they make a submission of what they feel would be in keeping with what they l~ave and we can use this as a basis for discussing this with the D.E.C., Health Dept. because there is no current standard for this type of facility. I think that we could enlist the support of the D.E.C. and the Health Dept. in incorporating what they might come .up with some kind of a standard. I think that they did a good job. We can leave it up to them to show us ~vhat they can do in this area. Trustee Larsen: I think.that this will give us an opportunity to turn this into a positive project, Jay. Trustee Krupski: Without putting you on the spot, Mr. DuPont, could you comment on that ? Mr. duPont: Yes, I would like to comment on that. To my knowledge there are no pump out stations in Southeastern New England, including where we are. I wish very much, not li~e to be the first, Fishers-Island where, we are on is somewhere around 7~-2 ft. above mlw. That is something that is determined by the D.E.C.. The entire Page 2. Goose Island Corporation - Public Hearing. piece of property is .85 acres. It is all filled. It was a coal bin way, way back when the power plant was burning coal. The septic system we have in there now for the restaurant facility next to the docks handles 49 seats in the restaurant. The County Health Dept. came over and determined that for us this spring. To put in a facility would be a grave danger to the harbor, in that it would drain into the sheltfishing are, which we are all concerned about. There is a Town owned storm drain outside of the mobil slation, which does not function which is under review by the Fishers Island Cgnse~rvanqy curr, e~ntly. When it rains rea] hard, it floods, r,~It is largely septic, vve nave oeen aole To determine once, a house that was nearby that fed into the storm drain. There are others that we have not been able to determine those yet. The storm drain is suppose to drain into the harbor, we can not figure ou~ how. The Highway Dept. is going to try to figure that out. There was a pollution problem last September, it is being monitored. Today, there doesn't seem to be a problem. There was a septic pollution in West Harbor from that storm drain. Trustee Bredemeyer: Dealing with petroleum is equally as dangerous to the environment and there are means and methods by which you did employ to meet the requirement to contain the petroleum. Mr. duPont: It is ail contained. Trustee Goubeaud: The pump out facility for boats goes into a holding facility, not a leaching field. Mr. duPont: Where do you think we are going to dispose of this? Trustee Goubeaud: You will have to think of a way of disposing of it. Trustee Bredemeyer: You have a treatment plant on the island. The reason I would like to suggest this when we come to permitting is that some of the alternatives should be considered seriously for the treatment facility. There is a regulated discharge? Mr. duPont: we do not have a regulated discharge. There was a discharge area, it was plugged and it is now a very large septic system. Trustee Bredemeyer: I think that it deserves a thorough scoping. Trustee Goubeaud: We have requested that several other marinas do the same. Trustee Bredemeyer: There are similar situations through out the Town. You may have a bit more information on New England. Mr. DuPong: Just one comment, the facility that was put there is approximately 10 ft. longer than the old dock. The slips were put in so that the boats could back into. The capacity for over night moorage is 6 vessels no larger than. 40 ft. We don't feel that we have increased the capacity from the summer's usage, I could probably document what we have for you to demonstrate that we are not attracting any more people than what were there before. Trustee Goubeaud: Don't you think that because you have improved the facility and opened the restaurant more people are going to want to come over? Mr. duPont: That is a private restaurant it is not open to the public at all. Trustee Smith: They don't want you over there, Jay. Page 3. Goose Island Corporation - Public Hearing. Trustee Smith: A 55 gal tank with a pair of wheels on it with a pump on it to pump out boats, I have seen. Something that is very inexpensive to build. Perhaps this would be something to think about. Where I have seen tl~is, it has been there for three years and there hasn't been a call to use it yet. Does anyone else have anytt~ing to say regarding this application? Trustee Krupski: Are we going to pursue this? Trustee Bredemeyer: We will discuss it at permitting. Trustee Smith: Are there any other comments on this application? No comments? Trustees? No comments? Then I will close this public hearing. 8:14 P.M. tlene Pfifferling Secretary to Trustees HENRY P. SMITH, President JOHN M. BREDEMEYER, Vice-Pres. PHILLIP J.
