Re: Permit to build a dock at Mattituck Creek
Gentlemen:
Because of some confusion that may be existing, I
thought it advisable to write to you to explain what steps
we undertook to obtain a permit to build a dock.
There are three families who would like to build
a dock on the Mattituck Creek. One of the families has
owned their summer home since the turn of the century. I
purchased my home on June 8, 1966. The other family has
owned their property since around 1960. There is a clause
in my deed giving me a right of way to the use of Mattituck
Creek. I do not know specifically what the right of way is
and what rights we have over the property leading down from
Howard Avenue to the Creek.
In 1966 I called your Building Department to find
out if we could obtain a permit and what steps had to be
taken to build a dock and I was advised of the procedure.
None of us took any other steps until September of 1969,
when I wrote to the Building Department and advised them
that we would like to place a dock at the end of Howard
Avenue leading into the Creek. We advised that it was our
understanding that we had a right of way over this route,
but would like confirmation of same. We received corres-
pondence from the Building Department together with an
application for a permit. We completed the permit just
recently and forwarded it to you.
It was always our understanding that we did have a
right to build on this right of way. We also assumed that
the town verified our right to build the dock when it
accepted our application for a permit. In the Town of Oyster
Bay the County Attorney re~iews 'applications to determine
whether rights of way do indeed exist. In talking to your
Clerk yesterday I found that that is not the procedure in
your Town. It appears that you are guided by what is placed
in the application. Therefore, it is most important that
we review what rights we have to the property in question.
I have, therefore, contacted my title company and
directed them to complete a search and advise me what the
Page 2
covenants, easements and restrictions are over the parcel
in question. If, after our search is completed, ~we find
that we have no right to build a dock, then, of course,
we will withdraw our application, If~ however, we have a
right to build a dock, we would certainly want to build
it there. However, we also do not wish to disrupt the
relations we have with the abutting homeowners. I per-
sonally believe that good relations is more important than
obtaining a dock permit. Therefore, after our sea~ch is
completed we would like to sit down with the abutting home-
owners and discuss with them what our plans are and see if
we can reach an amicable solution. I asked some professional
dockbuilders to give me specifications and what they would
recommend, and I am awaiting their report. I will also use
this report so that we can intelligently discuss this with
the neighbors.
One of the neighbors showed concern that we may dis-
rupt the quiet of the area. We share their concern and do
not wish to disrupt the area. We have no intention of using
trailers or trucks or cars in the area and we would like to
keep the area just as rustic as it presently exists. All
we want is a small walkway down to the Creek which would
lead to a small dock so that we could have access to the
inlet. As indicated heretofore, we would want our comfort
and the ab~tting hemeowners' comfort to be compatible, and
we hope that we will be able to sit down with the neighbors
so that this can be accomplished.
Accordingly, it would be 'greatly appreciated if you
would adjourn any further proceedings on our application
until we have had an opportunity to complete the above.
Thank you for your cooperation.
