The site is generally moderately sloped, sandy gravel earthen materials, vegetated with grass, brush, ground cover and trees with a steep 20 foot bluff falling off to the shoreline which is lined with large stone. This is a high energy waterfront site. The frontage of the property is approximately 400 feet along Fishers Island Sound at the easterly end, abutted by Christopher and Rosalind Roosevelt and Andrew and Ashley Burr to the west and Angelica G. Dearborn and Sheldon G. Withers and James W. B. and Margaret W. Benkhard to the east. The waterfront consists of a rock-covered slope with sporadic individual tidal wetlands vegetation, seaside goldenrod in amongst the stones on the moderately sloped coastal bluff in the vicinity of the proposed dock site. The dock has been laid out clear of that vegetation. It is Mr. Long's desire to build a fixed pier. The dock end of this new pier will go from an end elevation of 6 feet above mean low water (MLW), sloping upward and crossing over the boulder- strewn intertidal zone at a typical height of 6 feet above the bottom sediments until reaching a finished elevation of about 10 feet at above the mean low water line and then a level landing to shore at that elevation. Attached are application drawings prepared for this project showing this configuration and pertinent details. This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Town of Southold, Ordinance No. 6, 2004, and the Waterfront Revitalization Program related to docks and shorefront improvements. A waiver to the pile size specified therein is requested in deference to the wave exposure at this site and the difficult driving conditions that being hard packed gravel with embedded stone and boulders. In addition, various coastal policies under the New York State Coastal Management Act are addressed herein for review by the New York State Department'of State and Department of Environmental Conservation. DESCRIPTION OF WORK As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to construct a fixed wood pile and timber pier from the shore out into Fishers Island Sound in accordance with existing guidelines set forth in the Town of Southold ordinance No. 6,2004, and other agency regulations. It is envisioned that this structure will be built utilizing the following general sequence and methodology. ➢ The marine contractor will arrive by water with a barge-mounted crane and push boats. ➢ Pier supports throughout the boulder faced bluff will be mounted to concrete piers or pedestals or connected to piles pinned to the boulders. 1 ➢ New piles will be driven starting at the new shore landing end of the pier and proceeding waterward at roughly 10-foot intervals to the waterward end of the pier approximately 80 feet from the apparent high water line. These piles will be driven by double-acting air hammer to a bearing capacity and pull-out resistance of approximately 20 tons. This generally results in about ten feet of embedment of the pile in the bearing stratum. These piles will be 12-inch nominal diameter measured at three feet from the butt. A waiver to the Town regulations is requested to allow these larger piles to be used. ➢ After the piles are installed, split caps (also referred to as split clamps) consisting of a pair of pressure treated Southern Pine timbers, 3 x 10 nominal dimension, will be bolted to the piles transversely forming a pile bent. Stringers will be then laid on the split caps parallel to the length of the pier. In all likelihood, three runs of stringers will be set and will probably consist of 3 x 10 pressure-treated Southern Pine. ➢ The outer stringer on each side will be bolted or spiked to the pile to secure it against uplift forces that this pier will typically be exposed to. ➢ After the stringers have been connected to the piles and split caps, the decking will be installed. In accordance with Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6, 2004, this decking will not be CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine but rather oak, cedar hardwood or plastic/ composite such as "Timber Tech" or similar synthetic, composite or plastic material with the brushed side mounted up. If composites or plastic are used, decking will be either gray, brown or natural in color. Decking will be attached to the stringers utilizing galvanized nails or stainless steel Phillips or flathead square-drive wood screws about 3 inches long and will be set with a '/"gap between deck planks. ➢ The over-water decking will run level at an elevation of approximately 6 feet MLW, then ramp up maintaining at least 6 feet above the existing bottom sediments. See Sheet 4 of the application drawings for the pier profile. ➢ The piles will terminate about 42 inches above the deck surface and have horizontal rail members mounted to them. ➢ A rail of cedar, oak, hardwood or Timber Tech (or similar plastic) materials will be installed for safety. The mid-rail can be timber or cable and both details are shown. Water and electricity will be run out in conduits on the pier in the space between the stringers so that trickle chargers on the boat may be powered during tie-ups. The water will allow boats to be rinsed off after usage. A power post with an internal light will be mounted to the end of the fixed pier with receptacles to provide power to the boats from extension cords. The power Post will also have coiling arms for storage of the electric service cord and hose between uses. Because the dock may be used during the hours of darkness, low-intensity lights will be mounted on staggered piles or dock rail posts to illuminate the deck and the walking surface up the bank. This system will be manually or radio controlled with a shut-off timer so that the lights will only be on when necessary for safety of the users. LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION POLICIE'S The Town of Southold, LWRP policies that are applicable to the Long dock proposal are a local refinement of the Long Island Sound Regional Coastal Management Program policies that apply throughout Long Island Sound. The Long site is in Fishers Island Sound on Fishers Island could only be characterized as Developed Shorefront because of the house and landscaped grounds. The shoreline is completely, naturally protected by boulders which constitutes a glacial deposit despite the appearance of human development. The applicable developed coast policies are as follows: (see next page) 2 ➢ Policy 1 is to foster a pattern of development that enhances community character and preserves natural resources to the maximum extent and minimizes adverse impacts on the environment, ➢ Policy 2 is to preserve historic resources, ➢ Policy 3 is to enhance and protect scenic resources and visual quality. The proposed dock facility for the Long's is consistent with waterfront development on Fishers Island and in coastal areas. The pier is made of suitably-sized timbers requiring 12 inch class B piles because of wave exposure and tough bottom sediment conditions and utilizes the materials allowable under Local Law #6. This proposal is consistent with other adjacent dock facilities and characteristics for the visual and scenic considerations. The encroachment has been minimized to be consistent with DEC policies, Southold Local Law#6, US ACOE policies and the structure is as low profile as possible consistent with the safe and efficient use of the waters and consistent with the tidal range of this site. Lighting will be minimal for operational safety and otherwise off, and lights will be utilized only when necessary for boating purposes so that during hours of darkness there will be no adverse impact NATURAL COAST POLICIES The Natural Coastal Policies are 4 through 8 and require consideration as follows: ➢ Policy 4—Minimize loss of life, structures and natural resources from flooding and erosion, ➢ Policy 5—Protect and improve water quality ➢ Policy 6—Protect and restore the quality and function of the eco-system, ➢ Policy 7—Protect and improve air quality, ➢ Policy 8 - Minimize environmental degradation primarily from solid waste and hazardous substances. The proposed structure for the Long recreational boating facility has been laid out and configured so as to be consistent with the Town and DEC permit requirements for such structures. As such, it is configured and provides adequate height to clear environmental resources of concern and the materials to be utilized are consistent with Town of Southold's Local Law #6 regarding environmental quality and the use of pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine timber components in particular. There will be no significant adverse impacts on air quality as a result of this structure and the construction of the dock should not diminish overall environmental considerations in Fishers Island Sound. PUBLIC COAST POLICIES Policy 9 sets forth a priority to provide for public access and recreational use of coastal waters, public lands and public resources of the Town. This project creates a recreational boating facility for the Long's property and so is consistent with this policy and will not adversely affect public access to or use of Public Trust Lands or Waters of the State. WOREING COAST POLICIES The policies of this section relate to the following: ➢ Policy 10 — Protection of the Town's water-dependent uses and promoting new water- dependent uses in suitable'locations, ➢ Policy 11 —Promoting sustainable use of living marine resources, 3 ➢ Policy 12—Protect agricultural lands, ➢ Policy 13 —Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral resources. While most of the Working Coast Policies are not applicable to this site or this type of project, Policy 10, promoting water-dependent uses and the siting of water-dependent uses in appropriate areas is applicable. The proposed project has been laid out to make the most beneficial use of the land and locating the dock facility in the most appropriate point of the land where access down the bank will not require excessive structural facilities. This project has been laid out with specific reference and review of the Waterfront Revitalization Program policies and is considered to be consistent. In summary, the dock is typical of recreational boating facilities throughout the area and all along coastal New England. The structure has been minimized in size, height, and structure so as to be consistent with other facilities of a similar nature and the minimum necessary components to accommodate safe and efficient boating operations from this site safely in a variety of climatic conditions, and length limited so as to avoid impacting the eel grass bed further north. This project does not interfere with public access or use of Public Trust Waters and Lands of the State, it does not interfere with navigation, it will not create soil or sedimentation erosion problems, it does not adversely affect environmental resources and in the area where the facility must span the intertidal zone at the shore line, the facility has been located in the area of rocks where environmental resources have already been diminished so as not to worsen any of these conditions. The height of the structure has been specifically addressed so as to allow vegetation of the shoreline by tidal wetlands plants if other conditions are conducive to such growth. The dock facility has also been located reaching out to the deepest near shore water in Fishers Island Sound short of-established eel grass beds, so that dredging will not be an issue in the future, thus further minimizing adverse environmental impacts. More than 98% of the Long's shoreline in Fishers Island Sound will remain in a natural state as a result of these considerations for design. There is no loss of valuable marine and wetland habitat and no water quality degradation as a result of this project. No natural protective features or processes will be adversely impacted as a result of the proposed docking facility. There were no submerged aquatic vegetation specimens in the proposed dock or berthing area. Reference is made to the NYS DEC study from 2000 indicating the suitability of pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine piles and super-structure components for this type of purpose. In accordance with Local Law #6, decking for the pier deck treads will be of woods other than Southern Yellow Pine. This project is consistent with zoning policies and ordinances for the Town. The dock facility will be an accessory to the home located at this site. There will be no development of the upland related to this dock facility that will create point sources of pollution or drainage. This project is considered to be providing recreational boating and water usage opportunity compatible with the natural resource values and characteristics of the site. REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE SOUTHOLD WETLANDS LAW 6,2004 The permittee acknowledges that the validity of this permit is subject to the approval of other governmental or municipal authorities. The permittee does, by the acceptance of this permit, assume all responsibility for operations undertaken pursuant to this permit, and shall take all precautions for the prevention of injuries to persons and property resulting from such operations. By such acceptance, the permittee also agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Town and its officers. 4 The permittee gives consent to the Town and its officers, employees and agents to enter upon the premises where such operations are being conducted to make such inspections to determine whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with the permit. The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of any and all operations. The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing upon completion of operations such that the site can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance. In response to Sub-section 2a and the General Rules for Standards of Residential and Commercial Docks, the following additional information is offered. 1. Permits for the work are being applied for simultaneously through the Southold Town Trustees, US ACOE, NYS DEC and a coastal zone consistency determination by the NYS DOS. 2. The new piles to be installed will be 12 inch diameter Class B wood, of sturdy, durable and stable materials; in all likelihood, Greenhart, Kakaralli or CCA pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine (SYP)piles with new split caps and braces of the same SYP materials. These members will be a minimum of 3 x 10 timber with two 3/a" bolts per connection, and in many cases, one 1-inch bolt per connection. This pier is a fixed, pile-supported timber structure with a float and therefore will not adversely affect the free circulation of water or reduce the effects of fluctuating water levels in Fishers Island Sound. In addition, the pier does not present any adverse modification of the shoreline. The pier's end elevation is such that in extreme high flood tides the structure will be inundated. The structure's SYP timber materials represent the standard of the industry being specifically grown for this type of usage and are capable of withstanding full immersion. With the connections described above, this structure will be able to survive repeated inundations and direct 3 foot waves at high tide elevations with a structural life of approximately 20 years. 3. The pier support,because of its height, will include driving new 12 inch diameter Class B piles at 10-foot intervals to the maximum extent possible in order to obtain the desired pier alignment and support intervals; 12 inch piles will be used for the tie-offs. The use of CCA pressure-treated piles and timbers can be approved for this project in accordance with Local Law 6. 4. The pier will not be decked with CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine. This pier/ walkway provides a safe pedestrian surface for access to the berthed boat. Rails may be installed on the pier for safety. 5 5. The pier is located near the center of the property. The 15-foot clearance specified in this paragraph has been more than honored and lateral clearance should not be an issue because the proposed pier does not represent a significant encroachment into the boating operations area of the neighbors.to the east or west. The dock facility does not project into the navigation way for other boaters in the Sound. The deck width of 4 feet is considered desirable and appropriate for boating safety because of the angled exposure to waves from the north, inherent stability, and the agility of some of the users. 6. Upon receipt of the permit for this project, appropriate permit numbers and a Town permit placard will be affixed to the most seaward face of the pier for identification from the water. 7. The only permanent structures located above the pier decking other than the power post and railing which are fixed by function, are the kayak racks over the boulder at the shore side landing. 8. It is currently possible to provide a five-foot passage beneath the pier between the mean high and mean low water lines. Foot traffic in this area is rare, if at all, and so the additional structure of an up and over stairway has been left out of this pier layout. NEW YORK STATE COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM These application documents include a copy of the Federal Consistency Assessment Form utilized for the New York State Coastal Management Program under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of State. The following policies have been identified as pertinent to this application and the reason for consistency associated with this project is outlined in each respective case. Policy 2 Water Dependent Uses—This project is to construct a fully functional water dependent use, a dock facility at this site in support of recreational boating. Policy 5 —Use of Existing Developed Shorefront—There is no developed shoreline on this site. This project utilizes existing shorefront which is dominated by an accumulation of stone which has diminished resources such as growth of tidal wetlands vegetation. The project will be to build a pier and extend it to a logical shoreward terminus to make it safe and reliably usable in most weather conditions. J Policy 7 — Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat— Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitat has been considered in the development of this project layout. The pier, to the shoreward point beginning 5 feet above the rocky intertidal sediments should not jeopardize the integrity of any vegetation outcrops, should they colonize this area in the future. Typically there is a slight environmental benefit to a pier project because of the creation of structure in the water column where barnacles, algae and crustaceans will colonize and grow. Policy 8 —Protection & Preservation of Habitat—Protection and preservation of habitat has also been considered in this project and the dock structure is being kept to its minimal configuration and of materials consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004 set forth by the Town of Southold and standards of the NYS DEC. The pier has been sited over a stony part of the beach to make use of the most obstructed, least desirable habitat and minimize damage to natural resources. 6 1 ' Policy 11 —Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The dock construction project has been laid out in such a way so as to minimize damage to natural resources as identified in Policy 8 above. The dock facility has been sited in the area where large boulders on the beach have already impacted shoreline vegetation. Policy 14 — No Measurable Increase in Flooding - This project consists of construction of an open wood pile and timber pier which in no way adversely affects water flow and circulation in Fishers Island Sound or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels all around Fishers Island are dictated by water levels in Long Island Sound, Fishers Island Sound and Block Island Sound and this structure will have no adverse influence or in any way impact on those levels. Policy 15—No Dredging Dredging is not required in this project. The floating dock system has been laid out in its current location and configuration to avoid any dredging requirements. The depth of 2 feet, as generally recommended by the US ACOE, and 4 feet as recommended by the NYS DEC has been reached. This is an exposed site such that the boat must be berthed bow out. Policyl9—Impact on Public Access—Public access will not be jeopardized or impeded as a result of this project. As a matter of fact, there is almost no public access usage of the public trust lands or waters at this site except kayaking and canoeing. The upper intertidal zone is significantly covered by boulders and tidal wetlands fringe marsh vegetation and the shallow sub-tidal waters do not present any opportunity or enticement for public access in the area. The Sound is three miles wide so the pier occupies far less than the landward 25% of the waterway width in accordance with US ACOE policies. Thus,public access to the State's lands and waters will not be adversely affected by the project. Policy 20 — Public Trust Compatibility with Existing Adjoining Properties and Land Uses- Public Trust compatibility with existing adjoining properties and land uses have also been considered in this project. Some nearby properties have small docking facilities similar to this one and this docking facility will not interfere with existing or the likely configuration of future facilities on nearby properties or the logical allocation of littoral development rights. Policy 21 —Water Dependent Recreation—This project is consistent with water-dependent recreational opportunities policies set forth in this section. Policy 24 —Scenic Resources, Impairment or Loss - This policy is designed to prevent impairment or loss of scenic resources. The construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier will not represent such an extent of encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources. The elevated inboard landing section of the pier will be largely over-shadowed by the bluff. This facility will really only be visible from the water. Policy 25—Enhance Overall Scenic Quality-The new dock structure will be consistent with the scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24 above. This facility will really only be visible from the water. Policy 44 — Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands — The only tidal wetland vegetation on the rocky shorefront are small sporadic patches of seaside goldenrod. The construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier has taken advantage of the existing un-vegetated strip of the shoreline caused by the deposit of stone in order to avoid adverse wetlands impact. The raised height of the pier should allow opportunities for the growth of the spartina fringe marsh naturally up to, and to an extent, beneath the wood pier if other conditions are suitable but to date that has not occurred in the proposed pier site. The pier stops will short of submerged,aquatic vegetation. 7 f SUMMARY This project proposes a new fixed pier for recreational boating access of property of the Long family on Fishers Island. A copy of all US Army Corps,of Engineers,NYS DEC and Town of Southold applications and supplemental charts and photographs are attached as substantiation for this project. This project complies with applicable standards of the New York State Coastal Management Act, NYS / DEC Tidal Wetland Regulations and criteria for approval, the Town of Southold Waterfront Revitalization Program and Local Ordinance No. 6, 2004 and its approval is thus respectfully requested.
