IV. RESOLUTIONS -ADMINISTRATIVE PERMITS:
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Under Roman numeral IV, Administrative Permits.
In order to simplify our meetings, the Board of Trustees
regularly groups together items that are deemed similar or minor
in nature. Accordingly, I'll make a motion to approve as a group
items one and two. They are listed as follows:
Number one, CHARLES & BRENDA GRIMES request an
Administrative Permit for the as-built residential horticultural
irrigation system installed landward of the 30' non-turf buffer area.
Located: 4145 Wells Road, Peconic. SCTM# 1000-86-2-12.6
Number two, North Fork Pool Care, Inc. on behalf of ORA &
ELLIOT HEATH request an Administrative Permit to install a hot
tub placed on a 6" high concrete slab; hot tub and slab total
dimensions are 94"x94".
Located: 500 Hippodrome Drive, Southold. SCTM# 1000-66-2-13
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Item number three, North Fork Pool Care,
Inc. on behalf of MICHAEL & LISA KURTZ requests an
Administrative Permit to install an 84"x84" hot tub placed on a
6" high, 84" wide by 84" long concrete slab; and install a 2'x4'
storage unit.
Located: 9905 Nassau Point Road, Cutchogue. SCTM# 1000-119-1-9.1
The Board inspected the site and because hot tubs do
generate water waste that can possibly impact wetlands or denude
bluffs, the Board on field inspection on last Wednesday
determined this project should have a drywell.
Accordingly, I move to approve this application subject to
a drywell, properly-sized drywell, to be included on the plans.
That's my motion.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion made and seconded. All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Number four, Robert Wilson on behalf of
SILVINO FAMILY TRUST requests an Administrative Permit to
install 4' high fencing running from the northeast corner of
existing dwelling to east property line, then south along the
property line towards the wetlands, the fence will then run
along the south side of the property coming no closer than five
feet landward of the landward edge of wetland vegetation to the
west property line, and then run north until it reaches a point
parallel with the northwest corner of the house, turn and run to
Board of Trustees 5 July 18, 2018
that corner of the house.
Located: 2750 Glenn Road, Southold. SCTM #1000-78-2-42
The Board of Trustees inspected this on July 11th. The
Board placed flags at that time that were approximately 20 feet
back from the wetland edge and in keeping with the applicant's
request because the Board deemed this protection necessary,
placed flags, I would move to approve this application subject
to revised plans showing the flags on the survey and to approve
construction and issuance of a permit after plans depicting the
Trustee flags are received in the Trustee office. That's my
motion.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).

on May 3, 1991.
Located: 1370 Strohson Road, Cutchogue. SCTM# 1000-103-10-28.1
The site was inspected by myself on the 16th and it was
noted that the permit is for the float and the ramp, however the
catwalk is not mentioned, nor do we have a permit for this.
So therefore, my motion is to approve the transfer of this
permit with the stipulation that we receive new plans for the
existing catwalk.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion has been made and seconded.
MR. HAGAN: Wait. I'm sorry, we need a size on that catwalk.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Plans depicting a 32-foot length existing
catwalk
MR. HAGAN: Well, on this transfer of the permit, the catwalk is
previously referenced in the permit but it didn't have the dimensions
listed.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Correct.
MR. HAGAN: And the dimensions were depicted on the previous plan
it was just not put therein. So on this amendment I believe the
Trustees had wanted to add in the dimensions of the existing catwalk.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes. Well, dimensions and redrawn, because the
plans also, they don't have --they need to be new plans
depicting the full catwalk with dimensions.
MR. HAGAN: I just want to make sure in the language of the
transferred permit that we are going to have the dimensions of the
existing catwalk added thereon.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay. I'll remake my motion.
MR. HAGAN: Please do.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I'll rescind my second.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I make a motion to approve the transfer of this
application with the submission of new plans depicting the
catwalk, including the dimensions of existing.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion made and seconded. All in favor?
Board of Trustees 7 July 18, 2018
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Number seven, DUANE J. PASCALE requests a
Transfer of Wetland Permit#2052 from James J. Young to Duane J.
Pascale, as issued on August 28, 1985.
Located: 3520 Minnehaha Boulevard, Southold. SCTM# 1000-87-3-66.3
Trustee Williams conducted an inspection of this dock on
July 17th, noting that the float was 6'x28', which exceeds what
is permitted in the Town Code. Because this float exceeds, we
cannot transfer it. So I make a motion to deny this application
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Discussion. Maybe with the denial we can
send a communication to the owner indicating how they might bring it
into compliance with their prior 6x20 permit.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: The prior permit was for more than 6x20. The
original permit was for--
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Original permit in 1967, 1 guess this is, is
81411x20'9".
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: So, we would have to send communication to
the owner we would allow transfer of the existing like they had
in the original size? Is that what counsel would recommend?
MR. HAGAN: Transferring the permit.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Transferring the permit. They built
larger, the permit that was granted was larger than the current 6x20,
which was allowed at that time.
MR. HAGAN: You have the C of C that has been issued for the
existing permit for the existing dock that is there.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Well, we have the C of C for the existing, for
the original permit, but the dock that is there does not match
the description because the dock, it's larger than what was
permitted.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: So it's larger than the present code but smaller than what
was on the permit.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: No, no. It's larger than both.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: 6'x28' currently as opposed to 20'x8'
originally.
MR. HAGAN: Then you are transferring an as-built structure that doesn't meet
the permit.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Correct.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: That's what we are saying.
MR. HAGAN: I just want to make sure. There is not an amendment. You have
to apply for an as-built.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Okay. I make a motion to deny this application.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Number nine, En-Consultants on behalf of ANDREW
TORGOVE &JONI FRIEDMAN request a Transfer of Wetland Permit
#3888 from Joseph Fidjinski to Andrew Torgove & Joni Friedman,
as issued on January 18, 1991.
Located: 7165 New Suffolk Road, New Suffolk. SCTM# 1000-117-5-31
Board of Trustees 8 July 18, 2018
The site was visited on the 16th'. The Trustees recognize the
dock is currently not functionable or useable and they would
have to come in for a new permit for said dock. I make a motion
to deny this transfer.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion has been made and seconded. All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Number 13, Patricia Moore, Esq. on behalf of
MARIJO C. ADIMEY &VERONICA M. LUGRIS requests an Administrative
Amendment to Wetland Permit#9225 and Coastal Erosion Permit
#9225C for the existing 12'x16' lower deck to be raised on piles
in lieu of the deck being installed on-grade.
Located: 21515 Soundview Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-135-1-5
This structure had been addressed in a prior public hearing
and we approved it as such. I'll make a motion to deny this
application.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion made and seconded. All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
VI. MOORINGS/STAKE & PULLEY SYSTEMS:
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Under Roman numeral VI Moorings, Stake and Pulley systems.
Again, in order to simplify our meeting, I'll make a motion to approve as a group items
one through three. They are listed as follows:
Number one, MONCIA SCHNEE requests a Mooring Permit for a mooring in
Town_ Creek for a 27' sailboat, replacing mooring #970. Access: Public
Number two, ANNA PIZARRO requests an On-Shore/Off-Shore Stake & Pulley

Located: 465 Private Road#3, Southold. Access: Private
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second the motion.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Under Roman numeral VII, public hearings. At this time I'll take a
motion to go off our regular meeting again and enter into our public hearings.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: So moved.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: This is a public hearing in the matter of the
following applications for permits under the Wetlands Ordinance

the Suffolk Times. Pertinent correspondence may be read prior to
asking for comments from the public.

or less if possible.
Board of Trustees 9 July 18, 2018
WETLAND & COASTAL EROSION PERMITS:
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Number one, under Wetland and Coastal Erosion Permits,
Costello Marine Contracting on behalf of FRANCO & CLAUDIA PURITA request a
Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion Permit to completely remove the remains of 95'
of existing collapsed bulkhead; construct 95' of new bulkhead using sheet steel
sheathing in-place and raising the top elevation +2.5' to match top elevation of adjacent
west bulkhead; completely remove remains of existing collapsed bluff stairway; construct
two (2) 95' long retaining walls across face of the bluff for terracing purposes; regrade
face of bluff; contour top edge of bluff and construct berm at top edge; install jute
matting on face surface of bluff; revegetate bluff and berm using native plantings; and
construct new set of bluff stairs consisting of a 4'x5' top platform, to S wide stairs down
to a 4'x4' middle platform to S wide stairs down to a 4'x4' middle platform to S wide
stairs down to a 4'x8' lower platform with S wide stairs down to toe of bluff. Located:
19995 Soundview Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-51-4-6.
The Trustees did a field inspection on July 11th and the notes are:
Straightforward replacement. Slope seems very steep. Question the advisability
of regrading the top of the bluff and berm. Trustees noted a sump pump out from
the basement.
Also question where the access will be. Will the access be from the water or
from the landward side, and questioned the non-turf buffer between the bluff and
the house.
The LWRP coordinator found this to be consistent.
The Conservation Advisory Council on July 11th resolved to support the
application with the condition of a ten-foot non-turf vegetated buffer and engineered plan
for the stairs.
Is there anyone here to speak to this application?
MR. COSTELLO: Yes. My name is John A. Costello with Costello Marine Contractors.
We are the agents for the Purita's, here to answer any questions
that the Board has and if the,Board has visited the site, they'll see the
shambles that exist at that site, unfortunately. And they are
having a delay on it, this has been going on since Sandy, and
it's economics, and they are trying to come up and make
applications for some assistance with the banks, and I said you
have to keep going with the permits as soon as you can because
that is a major part of the project, you couldn't even get a loan
without getting the permits in filed and having designs so you
can get it done. And as you know, you saw the steepness of the
first section of the cliff is dangerously steep. And that was
what, the terracing, the retaining walls, the two intermediate
terracing retaining walls are major terracing devices to
bring up the elevation. They'll be a reasonably good quantity of
fill necessary to come in, because all the fill they have lost
so far is from the top edge to their first 20-foot of drop in
elevation. As you saw that the easterly property owner did
similar structures and it is working quite well so far for the
last couple years. That's why we are going to try to elevate the
bulkhead by two-and-a-half feet. The amount of quantity of water
that is going over top on severe weather has collapsed the lower
walls on major portions of this whole area, from the weight of
the water. We have to get clean sand down behind the first
Board of Trustees 10 July 18, 2018
bulkhead. You've got to reduce some of the weight of that clay
in the banks. And that's the problem with all the area up
there. The water plus clay, they are all vulnerable, and they
have been, and we have to try to bring in as much of the sand
for the bottom area, and then build it up from each one of the
terracing retaining walls. Then we have to tip, I'm suggesting
that they tip the top edge, bring the material back inboard,and
berm it up, so inboard of where it is now, so that you don't let
the existing rainwater and roof runoff go back over the cliff.
And that is, I'm hopeful that he'll probably put a drywell in on
the house to try to keep as much of the rainwater upward,
because the whole cliff there and his driveway and everything
runs down to the road. Let it go that way instead of over the
cliff where it's going now. If there are any questions from the
Board.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: About the question of access. How will you
bring the sand in?
MR. COSTELLO: The majority of all the materials are coming in by
barge. We'll dive on all the rocks, locate them, and bring a
barge, and bring the material in at high tide and unload it in one
area when we are ready install it. Once the lower wall is
installed, and then we'll probably access the rest through the
west side of his house. It's only going to be a small access,
but it will be for small dump trucks to bring in fill.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Last question about the non-turf buffer. I know
there is not much room between where you intend to berm and the
house, so can we make that a non-turf?
MR. COSTELLO: Up on the top?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Yes.
MR. COSTELLO: After we berm it, it will be, whatever the Board
decides, I mean, it will be bermed, and it has to be planted and
vegetated to try to encourage the water to stay inboard instead
of going over the cliff. That's all. And that could be whatever
buffer you need up there, except for the access to the platform
and stairway.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Okay, anyone else wish to address this
application?
(Negative response).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Questions from the Board?
(Negative response).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Hearing none, I'll make a motion to close this
hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I'll make a motion to approve this application
noting that it will be accessed by barge and there will be a
ten-foot non-turf buffer landward of the berm established at the
top of the bluff.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
Board of Trustees 11 July 18, 2018
MR. COSTELLO: Thank you
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: The next application, number two, Patricia
Moore, Esq. on behalf of ORIENT ACRES, LLC, c/o EVA MALLIS, LLC
MEMBER requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion Permit
for the existing 3'x54' wood walk from house to deck; existing
16'x16' wood deck at top of bluff with existing 4'x2' beach
stairs down to a 6'x12' lower wood landing to 3'x8' stairs to beach.
Located: 32625 Main Road, Orient. SCTM# 1000-14-2-25
The Board has requested this application with a set of
plans as a return from a previous inspection so that the
entirety of the construction, the deck and the stairs, is brought
into compliance.
It is deemed to be inconsistent under LWRP because it was
pre-existing permitting for the Trustees.
The Conservation Advisory Council has advised that the
stairs on the beach at the base be retractable.
And going back to the LWRP, the coordinator did recommend a
vegetated non-turf buffer to further policy six to reduce the
turf area.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak on behalf of this
application?
MS. MOORE: Yes, good evening, Patricia Moore on behalf of the
applicant. These structures were constructed by the Mallis'
father, who has since passed away. They are vintage 1980s. I
have Eva's husband here and I asked how long have they been
married. And he said he has been happily married 18 years but
he's actually been married 33 years. That's his joke, not mine.
Thought you might enjoy it. Anyway, for the younger, wedded bliss
people.
The property is already heavily vegetated at the top of the
bank. It's showing on the plans the brush that is natural brush
that has been retained. The retractable stairs --the stairs are
fine right now. Maybe when they are replaced we can certainly
make them retractable. Is that a problem? So you can take them
out in the winter. It just keeps them safer.
They are fine. They are solid stairs now, so we don't see
any need to replace them.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I read it into the record as a
recommendation. We can discuss it.
MS. MOORE: Okay. They have been there since the '80's, so apparently
this property is well protected. I guess the angle and the
storms. So, it's pretty straightforward in that it's all
pre-existing. The property, as I said, is well vegetated at the
top of the bank. It's not a high bluff. It's a relatively low
bank.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Thank you. Would it be possible to just
discontinue mowing at the break of the bank, in other words
without formalizing a non-turf area? It is very well vegetated.
I am familiar with the site. I have been to the site several times.
Is that a possibility, just so you don't mow up to the break in the bank,
in other words allow natural grasses to deepen and strengthen their roots
Board of Trustees 12 July 18, 2018
right where the bluff begins.
MS. MOORE: Any problems with that?Why don't you come up on the record.
He is transcribing this. These are practical questions.
MR. FISCHER: Ron Fischer, I'm Eva's husband. There is a bulkhead
at the top of the bluff and so the vegetation grows into the
bulkhead, heavy stones, and then the lawn is right off of that.
So we are already cutting sort of right to the edge, right where
the rock area is, and then the vegetation grows up next to that.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It's just a matter of the bluff form before
you get to the bulkhead, in other words if it gets scalped with the
erosion. We are just concerned if you leave a margin there that
would just naturalize of slightly longer grass. It's to protect
the bluff, between the deer running around it and other issues
we have, and of course northeast facing, it's just a small
protection for the bluff without formalizing it, because it's so
well vegetated, it's one of the few areas that are stable.
MS. MOORE: So no weed-whacking. If you don't weed-whack.
MR. FISCHER: Yes.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Okay, I think it's pretty straightforward.
Is there anyone else who wish to speak to this application?
(Negative response).
Seeing no one, I make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I'll make a motion to approve this
application subject to future replacement of the stairs on the
beach being retractable stairs. That's my motion.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
WETLAND PERMITS:
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Under Wetland Permits, number one, ALAN A.
CARDINALE requests a Wetland Permit to construct a communal dock
serving Lots 1.5. 1.7, 1.8 & 1.9 consisting of a 4' wide wooden
ramp at landward end connecting to a 4'x34' fixed wooden dock
with a 4'x40' fixed "L" section; two 3'x14' adjustable ramps off
of either end of 40' fixed dock section; two 6'x20'floating
docks situated in an "I" configuration with two (2) 8" diameter
float securing piles for each float; two (2) 8" diameter tie-off
piles centered between the two floating docks; and two sets of
two (2) 8" diameter tie-off piles situated approximately 13'
away from each floating dock.
Located: 570 Private Road #28, Mattituck. SCTM# 1000-122-3-1.5
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent. The inconsistencies
were: Dock standards pursuant to Chapter 275-11 are met. The
applicant has not demonstrated that the dock structure with a
vessel moored would not extend into navigable waters and impair
navigability. The one-third rule assessment must include a
representative vessel. The number of boats proposed to be moored
Board of Trustees 13 July 18, 2018
has not been discussed. The dock is proposed to serve five lots.
The maximum number of vessels that could be moored to the dock
at any given time has not been provided. And private dock
structure is extending into public trust lands and waters,
obstructs public use of waters and bottom lands.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to not support
this application. The Conservation Advisory Council does not
support this application and questions the number of docks
allowed and which parcels have the right to use the proposed
docking facility.
The Trustees conducted numerous field inspections to this
location, most recently on June 13th, as well as discussing it
inhouse, noting that lot five is a commercial lot and should be
excluded from the communal dock, and lots seven, eight and nine
can share the dock.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak regarding this
application?
(No response).
Any questions or comments from the Board?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I just want to re-affirm that lot 1.5 is a commercial
lot and it should not be given rights to the dock.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Okay.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Also, maybe further discussion for the
record, the relevant history was the Board of Town Trustees and
previously prior boards had made recommendations to the Town
Planning Board concerning the allowance for individual recreational
docks associated with lots in this subdivision so the Board
had essentially created an action on the part of the Planning
Board in developing a land use plan which has been in play for
many, many years, I think upwards of 14 or more years, such that
the applicant was honoring and proceeding with the application,
was honoring the prior boards'wishes in communication with the
Planning Board, and it was understood that it would be strictly
for recreational vessels of upland owners.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Any other questions or comments?
(Negative response).
Hearing none, I'll make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I make a motion to approve this application
with the condition that lot number 1.5, the commercial lot, be
excluded. And also that any vessel moored cannot extend more
than one-third of the width of the creek.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Can you clarify, that's excluded from the dock.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Excluded from the dock. And that would bring
it into consistency with the LWRP.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion made and seconded. All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Gerard Stankewicz on behalf of FHV, LLC
Board of Trustees 14 July 18, 2018
requests a Wetland Permit for the existing 36'x24.3'two-story
dwelling with existing front 7.0'x10.3' step landing; on seaward
side of dwelling, an 8'x7.2' frame deck with 4.0' wide by 6.8'
long attached stairs; and a 4.0'x3.2' frame stoop with attached
3.2'x6.7' steps to ground; remove and replace existing walkway;
install an irrigation system; resurface existing driveway; and
replace plants on west and south sides of dwelling.
Located: 3400 Deep Hole Drive, Mattituck; SCTM# 1000-115-17-11
The LWRP found this to be inconsistent citing the
following reasons. The as-built structures were constructed without
Southold Town Board of Trustees approval. In the event the
action is approved, require the setbacks to the regulated feature
to be clarified, and verify the action complies with Chapter
236 storm water management. The establishment of a vegetated
non-turf buffer landward of the wetlands that includes existing vegetation
is recommended to further policy six.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
On the 11th, the Trustees visited this location, and the notes
state that there should be a buffer 23 feet seaward of small deck. Okay to
remove concrete walkway. Gutters to leaders to drywells. And to be
landward of the house, and French drain for the driveway.
Okay, is there condition here that wishes to speak regarding this application?
(Negative response).
Any other comments from the Board?
(Negative response).
Based off our field notes, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I make a motion to approve this application
with-the following amendments, which will bring it into consistency.
Number one, the turf lawn and irrigation shall not be further than 30 feet
from the rear of the home. A French drain will be installed at the end,
at the seaward most end of the driveway. Gutters to leaders to drywells
for the house will be installed. And everything past the 30-foot mark of the
house seaward will be a non-disturbance area. Also, by granting the
approval of this will bring it into consistency, addressing
the issue with the non- permitting. That is my motion.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Number three, En-Consultants on behalf of
SCOTT KAY 2001 IRREVOCABLE FAMILY TRUST requests a Wetland
Permit to remove and replace in-place approximately 113 linear
feet of existing timber bulkhead with vinyl bulkhead; construct
new t6' northerly vinyl return; construct approximately 34
linear feet of vinyl retaining wall landward of bulkhead to create a
9'x16' step-down platform with 3'x3' steps; and dredge a 10' x +/-93'
area adjacent to bulkhead to a maximum depth of-3' Mean Low Water,
using approximately 25 cubic yards resultant spoil as backfill.
Board of Trustees 15 July 18, 2018
Located: 6280 Main Bayview Road, Southold. SCTM# 1000-78-5-6
On July 11th, the Trustees inspected the location. All
Trustees were present. Field notes note that the project looks
straightforward. Questioning a non-turf buffer. Questioning, one,
will there be a drain on the patio, if the patio were to remain.
If the patio is.to be replaced after the bulkhead is installed,
would it be pervious material.
The LWRP found this project to be consistent.
The Conservation Advisory Council supports the
application with a ten-foot non-turf vegetated buffer.
Is there anybody here that wishes to speak to this application?
MR. HERRMANN: Yes. Rob Herrmann of En-Consultants on behalf
of the applicant. I'm glad you brought up the issue of the
patio because I realize we did not speak to the patio in the plan,
and I should have. If possible, I would say we would like
to just amend the plan to show, I think it's just an on-grade
stone patio. Do you guys have any pictures of, any close-up?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It was quite a tip to the water and little
doggies running around, so we had some concerns.
MR. HERRMANN: Yes. So I would like to say we would like to show the
patio to basically be removed and replaced in-kind and in-place as needed
because when they put the bulkhead in they'll have to take that out.
And I would say that the ten-foot non-turf buffer would be agreeable except
I wonder if in the 31-foot section of bulkhead that immediately fronts the house
and patio that could be reduced to five feet, just because it's pretty tight
between the house and that section of bulkhead. And I see, I have a typo in my
label. Maybe it's a wordo. On the plan view I show a proposed 34 linear
foot timber retaining wall, but Greg was correct as he read the project
description, it's actually, that will also be a vinyl sheath retaining wall.
Same material that the bulkhead will be made of. So I'll have to give you
revised plans correcting the timber to vinyl for the retaining wall, showing
a non-turf buffer, hopefully the way I just described it would be acceptable,
and making some sort of notation with respect to the patio. I don't know
what I would suggest in terms of the drainage for it. Unless we can
propose it to be sort of a loose stone paver so that they didn't have masonry
joints between the pavers, or something like that, or if it was going to be
completely masonry, have maybe some sort of gravel toe drain or something
right next to it. I'm not sure what your pleasure would be on that.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Would you be open minded to a French drain?
MR. HERRMANN: Yes. That's what I mean, have some sort of gravel drain
to line the side of the patio. I don't know, it's a pretty small
area, I don't know how much runoff will really be generated from that, but
maybe if it had a gravel drain around it then the water can just go and
percolate naturally. I don't really see it warranting a drywell. It's not very big.
But to either have it somehow be a semi-pervious surface or have
like a gravel drain around it, which I assume, Greg, is what you
mean by a French drain.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Yes. Typically a French drain does go to a drywell.
MR. HERRMANN: Right.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Incorporate, if the non-turf was not
put into turf but into a gravel based or French, in other words, French drain
and non-turf can be one and the same.
Board of Trustees 16 July 18, 2018
MR. HERRMANN: That's a good point, Jay.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Again, just with the --witnessing the amount
of dog droppings there and the rain, coming and washing it right
into the creek, it would be best to try and mitigate that.
MR. HERRMANN: I agree. So we would have to come up, so the revised
Plan would have the three items and we would have to address
that in some way to provide something to handle the drainage
from the patio. I think that's fine.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Is there anyone else that wishes to speak to the
application?
(Negative response).
Does the Board have any comments?
(Negative response).
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: At this point I'll make a motion to close the
public hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: I would like to make a motion to approve the
application with the following stipulations: The patio can be
replaced with like kind with the addition of an approved
drainage plan. In addition, we would like to see a ten-foot
non-turf buffer away from the house and a five-foot non-turf
buffer closer to the house, with new plans. And as per Trustee
Domino, we would like to see the patio be permeable.
MR. HERRMANN: Wait a second. We just switched gears there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The discussion was either permeable or
drainage around the patio. Right? So that's --
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I'm asking for both.
MR. HERRMANN: Wouldn't we want that to be part of the public
hearing discussion?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: If it's solid masonry surface, it makes it that
much more difficult to deal with the water.
MR. HAGAN: This is a public hearing conversation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Not a motion conversation. It's up to you.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Make the motion as you wish.
MR. HAGAN: Can you repeat the motion, please?
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Yes. Bear with me. I make a motion to approve
the application with the following stipulations: The patio to have an
approved drainage plan. And to show an appropriate non-turf buffer on
new submitted plans.
Hold on a second.
MR. HAGAN: Is it my understanding there will be a withdrawal of
the motion currently pending and there will be a new motion made
by Trustee Williams?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That is correct.
MR. HAGAN: Okay. Thank you.
MR. HERRMANN: Damon, if what we just discussed and agreed
to is now going to be changed in a motion, don't we have an opportunity
to continue discussing it in a public hearing?
MR. HAGAN: I would think so, yes.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: I'm prepared to remake the motion. I
Board of Trustees 17 July 18, 2018
apologize. I make a motion to approve the application --
MR. HAGAN: I'm just going to stop a second for the sake of
clarity on the record. There was discussion in the public
hearing portion, then the public hearing was closed. There is no
further discussion on that. So you are going to be making a
motion now to approve subject to whatever conditions you wish
'for the Board to hear.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Yes.
MR. HAGAN: We can't introduce new information or anything.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Yes
MR. HAGAN: Okay.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: I make a motion to approve the application
subject to new plans depicting the patio with a drainage plan
and a ten-foot non-turf buffer reducing down to a five-foot non-turf
buffer nearest the house, as discussed. That's my motion.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion has been made and seconded. All in favor?
(Trustee Bredemeyer, aye. Trustee Goldsmith, aye. Trustee Krupski, aye.
Trustee Williams, aye. Trustee Domino, nay).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Let the record reflect Trustee Domino votes no.
Number four, Suffolk Environmental Consulting on
behalf of NICHOLAS & GEORGIA NOTIAS requests a Wetland Permit to
demolish existing 1,259sq.ft. two-story dwelling with 526sq.ft.
garage, 469sq.ft. porch, 1,002sq.ft. patio, and 17sq.ft. patio;
construct a 4,919sq.ft. two-story dwelling; construct a
295sq.ft. seaward side porch; construct a 900sq.ft. pool on
seaward side of dwelling; construct a 2,234sq.ft. covered
terrace and open terrace between dwelling and pool; abandon
existing sanitary system and install a new septic system; and
install a'system of gutters to leaders to drywells, and in accordance
to Chapter 236 of the Town Code Stormwater Management.
Located: 450 Paradise Point Road, Southold. SCTM# 1000-93-1-3
The Trustees did their most recent field inspection of this
site on July 11th, 2018. Field notes say: So much property,
it's a shame the house is not proposed well landward of the
wetlands. Also, should take action to save trees.
The LWRP coordinator found this to be inconsistent. The
inconsistency arises from the fact that it was unclear why the
setback was measured from the highwater mark, the beaches to
wetland. He's stating this because he's attempting to address 4.1, which
is to minimize loss of human life and structures from flooding
and erosion hazards. Also points out in the event the action is
approved, it is recommended that a vegetated non-turf buffer be
required landward of the beach. Item two, that they retain
mature trees on the property to the greatest extent practicable.
And three, consider requiring an innovative alternative waste
water treatment.
The Conservation Advisory Council on July 11th resolved to
support this application without any conditions.
Is there anyone here to speak to this application?
MR. ANDERSON: Bruce Anderson, Suffolk Environmental Consulting,
Board of Trustees 18 July 18, 2018
for the applicant Notias.
First, the important note here is that the wetland boundary
is the highwater mark, and that the nearest structure, which is
the corner of the proposed pool, is 129.1 feet from the highwater
Iine.'Another important note to make is that the existing
patio, which will be removed is shown or depicted in that photo,
is 95 feet from the wetland boundary.
The next thing that is worth noting in relation to the
flood hazard is that all of the proposed construction falls
within an "X"zone, which is a 500 flood plain. So the concerns
relative to flooding in this case are not based. In fact there
are no design considerations for a house located in the "X"
zone. As I said before, the entirety of the house is in that
"X"zone. The third thing worth noting is the real reason why we
are here is because the wetland law regulates these types of
activities within 100 feet of the beach. So in this case, the
landward, the edge of the pool, is actually located 95 feet from
the landward edge of the beach. And that's why we are here today.
And also the patio that would be removed would be located 80
feet from the beach. So that's really why we are here. I did think
the tree issue would come up, and by my count, as proposed, we
would have 13 trees would be removed, and another eleven would be
retained. The eleven are the trees that grow along the side lot
line. And the couple of trees that would be in front of the pool.
So our intention is to minimize tree loss. And I called the
client and had a nice conversation, he seems like a very sincere
fellow, and I explained that could come up, and whether or not he
would consider relocating even further back from the water. And
his response was that he is elderly, and as it is it's a long'
walk for him to get out to the dock as it is. And that he did
recognize that the lot could use more trees. So he suggested
that I inform the Board we would be happy to plant trees, oak
trees, elsewhere on the property, but he would like to keep the
house where it is proposed. And it does, frankly, exceed all
the setbacks as per code. So I would offer that and come back
with some sort of a plan'for the planting of the eleven oak trees
that would come down. We thought that would maybe be a good
solution.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Are you prepared to give us a planting plan
tonight?
MR. ANDERSON: I have not as yet. I wanted to get your reaction.
We spoke about this in the last several days. It was sort of an
afterthought when I went back and said, you know, it's a shame, these
are mature red oaks. You want to try to keep as many as you can. And
I think they are too large to be translated, to be honest with
you. But I think that, so I did mention it to him, and he was
certainly agreeable to doing that. So I would be prepared to
put together some plan and submit it to the Board, if the Board
is so inclined to review it.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: What's the pleasure of the Board?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I personally like that idea. I think some of us,
it's what some of us were thinking already.
Board of Trustees 19 July 18, 2018
TRUSTEE DOMINO: From my way of thinking, it's rather a shame
that the property landward of the house as presently exists was
cleared, as can you see from this photograph, and that you have
a straight run driveway that looks like in fact that could be
used as a landing strip for small aircraft. You have the
opportunity to leave trees to have the driveway move around
them. It could have been very picturesque. That's all water under the
bridge. So I encourage you to plant as many trees as possible,
again, that would be landward of the proposed garage.
MR. ANDERSON: I agree. Do you want to see a plan or do you
simply want to make it a condition that the trees be replaced
elsewhere on the property?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I agree with you, I don't believe you can
transplant trees. They are just too large. So you'll have to
replant, and I would like to see, if this is approved, approved
subject to submission of a planting plan.
MR. ANDERSON: Okay.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: With at minimum as many trees as are removed,
and also native local species.
MR. ANDERSON: I would put in red oak. That's what is coming
out. And they are available.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: And of significant caliper. I don't want to put
in trees that grow in a small bucket, you know.
MR. ANDERSON: Right.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I want to discuss the non-turf buffer suggested.
MR. ANDERSON: Well, you already have one, and what I would say is that
that buffer that exists today, is approximately 60 feet, 50
feet, and I would say that there be no further clearing on the survey
and say, to show depict an edge of clearing. And I would think
you would want to retain all of that as a buffer. It is sort of
a naturalized area as it stands today.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I would ask you to consider an additional
condition that there be ten-foot non-turf buffer landward of the
limit of clearing lines shown on plans received June 5th, 2018,
and that the area seaward of that line be designated as a
non-disturbance zone.
MR. ANDERSON: So you mean the area between the limit of clearing
grading ground disturbance and the edge of clearing, to increase
that, is that what you are speaking of?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: (Perusing).
MR. ANDERSON: May I approach?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: You may.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Essentially, approximating the zone,
zone "X".
TRUSTEE DOMINO: This is the zone "X" line.
MR. ANDERSON: This area right here. Correct. So this is, this
should all stay, in my opinion.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Non-disturbance, okay.
MR. ANDERSON: So let's be clear. That area you want is
non-turf; is that correct?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Ten-foot non-turf landward of the zone "X"
line.
Board of Trustees 20 July 18, 2018
MR. ANDERSON: Would it make sense just to let it go foul?
Fouler, rather? It's ten feet. I assume what is in that
naturalized area will just come back.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It will come back. It's mostly Baccharus at this
point.
MR. ANDERSON: There is a Baccharus and beach grass. So does that
make sense.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It is a mix. It makes sense from an
environmental standpoint to repopulate it with all native.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Still designated as a non-turf buffer and let it go foul.
Any other questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response).
Anyone else wish to speak to this application?
(Negative response).
Hearing no comments, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: I make a motion to approve this application as
submitted, with the following stipulations: That there be a
ten-foot non-turf buffer landward of the zone "X" line labeled
on plans submitted June 5th, 2018. That the area seaward of that
line be designated as a non-disturbance zone. That we receive a
planting plan of trees equivalent to the number of trees
removed, and of two-and-a-half inch caliper size. That's my
motion.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you, very much.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: The next application, number five, Frederick
Weber, Architect on behalf of NICOLE LEITCH requests a Wetland
Permit to demolish and remove existing one-story, 2,328sq.ft.
single-family dwelling with 656sq.ft. deck; construct new
two-story, single-family dwelling (1st flr. 1,785sq.ft. & 2nd
flr.1,175sq.ft.) with attached 358sq.ft. garage; 385sq.ft.
wrap-around porch; 170sq.ft. screened porch; and 685sq.ft. stone
patio; abandon existing sanitary and install new sanitary system
landward of dwelling; and install gutters to leaders to drywells
to contain roof runoff, and in accordance to Chapter 236 of the
Town Code Stormwater Management.
Located: 1950 Clearview Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-70-10-27
The Trustees visited the site on July 11th, considering the
project straightforward and very much within the bounds of
the existing house. The Board acknowledges that we are in
communications with the county Health Department and would like
to see sites like this have an IA, but at this point in time we
did not work out the provisions of how the town would adopt innovative
alternative sewage in the town.
The LWRP coordinator has determined this project is
consistent with the LWRP.
Board of Trustees 21 July 18, 2018
The Conservation Advisory Council supported the application
with a request for a ten-foot non-turf vegetated buffer landward
of the wetland boundary. Is there anyone here who wishes to
speak on behalf of this application?
MR. WEBER: Yes. My name is Fred Weber, I'm the architect for the
applicant. You've summarized a lot of things, so maybe I'll be
talking too much about things you have already spoken about.
But basically the existing house is not that workable for
reuse. It's one story. It's too low to adequately protect for
flooding. It's partially on a slab. It extends over the
required zoning side yards and has low ceilings. So that's the
reason we are heading toward a new house. We are trying to keep
it in the basic footprint. We are moving it back as tight as we
can to the front yard setback. We will be raising the new house
about two-and-a-half feet. The major wetland line is really 120
feet, although it does get to about 69 feet on the side, and we
are trying to maintain that, we are maintaining that dimension.
Like I said, it's a new sanitary system, drainage, and there
actually almost exists a self-imposed buffer zone there. I kind
of measured things out to see where everything was, and it's
about a ten-foot line back.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It's pre-existing phragmites and growth --
MR. WEBER: I't's things that the owner has planted. It appears to me.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Some plantings.
MR. WEBER: Some plantings. Yes, correct.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It's very broad, it's just a walk down to the
wetland. Thank you. Is there anyone else here who wishes to speak to
this application or about this?
(Negative response).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No, it's straightforward
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: The applicant could also come in to request
a ten-year maintenance permit under a separate permit for the
removal of the phragmites, and encouraging the Baccharus and other
high tide bush in that location, since a number of the
properties along Goose Bay and that location are getting quite a bit'of
phragmites.
Hearing no one else, seeing no one else speaking on this
application, I'll make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I'll make a motion to approve this
application as submitted.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Number six, CHERYL L. HANSEN REVOCABLE TRUST,
c/o CHERYL HANSEN requests a Wetland Permit to construct a
2,400sq.ft. two-story, single-family dwelling; new sanitary
system; and proposed driveway. Located: 405 Williamsberg Road,
Southold. SCTM# 1000-78-5-17
Board of Trustees 22 July 18, 2018
The LWRP found this to be consistent.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
The Trustees conducted a field inspection on July 11th, and
notes at that time, requesting why the wooden ramp that was shown on
the survey, and the survey was too old. However we got a new
survey as of July 18th, 2018, from Peconic Surveyors that no
longer shows a wooden ramp. Is there anyone here who wishes to
speak regarding this application?
MS HANSEN: Good evening, I'm Cheryl Hansen. I was hoping
everything is self-explanatory. We did get a new survey that we
needed and I dropped it by the office this morning, so it shows
the ramp is no longer there. It was taken away when we redid the
bulkhead a number of years ago.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Anyone else here wishing to speak regarding
this application?
(Negative response).
Any questions or comments from the Board?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No, it seemed pretty straightforward to me.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Just one question. Is there a non-turf
buffer currently?
MS. HANSEN: No, it was put, when we redid the bulkhead, maybe
four or five years ago, we put a new bulkhead in there. Then
there was a non-turf buffer put in.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It matches up to the neighbor.
MS. HANSEN: Yes. We own the house next to it, so it was all done
at the same time, so that the new turf was put in when the old
bulkhead was replaced with the new one.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Thank you. Any other questions or comments?
(Negative response).
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I make a motion to approve this application
with the condition of gutters to leaders to drywell to contain
roof runoff.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
MS. HANSEN: Thank you, very much.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Number seven, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of ANN
T. KROM requests a Wetland Permit to remove existing cement
bulkhead and replace with 97 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead
in-place with one 35 linear foot bulkhead return and one 6
linear foot bulkhead return; raise existing height to 42" above
existing top cap elevation to match neighboring bulkhead to
west; install 225 cubic yards of clean sand fill from upland
sources behind bulkhead to replenish sand lost during storms;
install 4' wide by 10' long platform and stairs to beach
supported with 3-10" diameter CCA piles; install and perpetually
Board of Trustees 23 July 18, 2018
maintain a 10' wide non-turf buffer along the landward edge of
the bulkhead.
Located: 1296 Great Peconic Bay Boulevard, Laurel. SCTM# 1000-145-2-19
The Trustees have visited this site several times, the most
recent being July 11th. All Trustees were present. Field notes
we have is bulkhead back landward ten-feet from existing
concrete. Stone armoring in front of bulkhead. And recommend
waiting for DEC approval.
In addition, the LWRP coordinator found this to be
inconsistent. It is recommended that the bulkhead be re-aligned
to coincide with the angle of the mean highwater line to
improve public access along the foreshore, and a vegetated
buffer comprised of native salt-tolerant plants should be
required landward of the bulkhead.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
Is there anybody here that wishes to speak to this application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant. I
actually made, again, following up what was mentioned before,
and at last month's public hearing with other options that the
DEC had requested in lieu of a proposed bulkhead. They were not
in favor of the bulkhead in the location, they asked for some
softer means. Last night I actually made some plan revisions so
it's a little tardy, but I would like to present those to you
today with a revised project description that shows proposed rip
rap along the line of--You don't need project descriptions.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: No.
MR. PATANJO: I'll give those to you. The proposed rip rap will
follow along the line of the erosion of the existing eroded
bluff, or bank area, as we would call it. It's going to be four
to five-ton boulders at the bottom, with the upper stone courses
two to three-tons, and it will be all of the entire armor and
stone will be beyond the high tide line, and we'll maintain and
hold a ten-foot wide non-turf buffer from that revised line. So if
you look in the field, the line of existing erosion, that is
where at the top, at the bottom of that line of erosion is
where the wall will be, following it in a smooth manner. And as
mentioned in the other hearing, I do have and I started and
you'll see next month, the applications for the two neighboring
properties, and we'll do the same exact thing on those
properties.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What do you plan to do to the property, or
where you join up with the property to the west?
MR. PATANJO: To the west, we'll tie right into the bulkhead.
They have that concrete wall.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So you'll kind of meet it, I guess?
MR. PATANJO: Yes. Right at the corner. We'll tie it to the
corner, put the filter fabric up against the corner, we'll put a
cluster in series of rocks there, smaller stones with the larger
stones to create a decent-sized wall. So there will be no
erosion there. And as you see on the heavy line on the plans
it's really a continuation of that wall. And ultimately, and I can
Board of Trustees 24 July 18, 2018
give you an overall plan of all of those properties. But this
wall here with the heavy line along the line of erosion is going
to follow its way all the way up to the bulkhead that sticks out
to the east. So we'll create one solid wall, meandering wall.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All the way on that picture?
MR. PATANJO: Yes, absolutely. Right there.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Any discussion with the DEC to incorporate
some of the existing wall and materials as base materials?
Occasionally they have allowed that.
MR. PATANJO: What I would like to do is take some of that and
use that behind the wall so it's not visible. Just added
protection.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Right. Added protection and you won't see
it. In the past there are several projects the DEC allowed some
specific terms behind or as toe material.
MR. PATANJO: Correct. All the applicants don't want it there.
It's ugly, it ruins the beach. We are trying to recreate the
beach and also protect the property.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Anybody on the Board have any questions?
MR. PATANJO: And it also satisfies the LWRP with regard to a
walking pathway for public access
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I guess we'll do a tabling or holding pattern.
It sounds good.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Is there anybody else here that wishes to
speak to this application?
(No response).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I think it's definitely an improvement over
the original plan.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Sounds good.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: At this point I'll make a motion to table the
the application with today's submission of the plans, after the
seven days, according to Chapter 275, I'll make a motion to
table this to properly review the plans.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Number eight, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of
THOMAS & CARYN MAZZARELLI request a Wetland Permit to remove
storm damaged dock; in same location as existing construct a
proposed 4'x35' fixed dock supported with 8" diameter piles
using untreated decking; install a 30"x14' aluminum ramp;
install a 6'x20' floating dock using untreated decking and
supported with four (4) 10" diameter piles with cross braces to
keep the float a minimum of 30" off sand bottom at all times.
Located: 650 Oak Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-77-1-2
The LWRP coordinator found this to be inconsistent. A
permit#1121 for the dock was issued in 1976. The deck that
appears to be included as part of the dock never received a
permit. The total distance of the dock is unknown when
considering the deck. The application does not correctly show
the dock line with the proposed vessel or discuss the one-third
Board of Trustees 25 July 18, 2018
rule. Water depths are shallow in the area and may not be
conducive to operation of vessels capable of disturbing bottom ,
sediments and increase turbidity. He finishes it up with the
applicant enjoys access to public waters via existing dock. The
seaward extension of the dock results in a net decrease or
impedance of public access to underwater lands.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support the
application with through-flow decking on fixed dock.
The Trustees visited this site on the 11th, noted that they would
like to remove seaward extension of deck and replace with
elevated catwalk. The dock can be five foot further than
existing dock, and ten-foot non-turf buffer similar to the
neighbors, would be a good idea.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant. We have
no problem with the ten-foot non-tun`buffer. We have no problem
with the proposed through-flow decking on the proposed dock.
And as far as projection out, I didn't add it so far, but I can
make a revision to the plan and add the distance away from the
dock to the adjacent shoreline. And I can provide a plan for you
showing that this dock does not project further out into the bay
Goose Creek, I should say, as the other adjacent docks in the
line of projection. You may not have seen the stakes out there.
I presume you didn't see the stakes? I did stake it. It must
have been high tide.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: We measured. It was substantial water there.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It's actually, it's unusual for that creek
because some of us, we were there regularly.
MR. PATANJO: Right. Because I had the water depth survey done
and I could only go out this far and I didn't have sufficient
water. That's why we have the four piles. But while I was out
there, I was almost filling my waders, and there is two feet of
mud out there, so it doesn't help.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It does appear to be plenty of water there.
And in terms of the one-third rule, it doesn't appear to be an
issue because it's a large area, as we observed from our
inspections.
So you have, can you go back to the other picture, please?
So that,just to clarify, the area where that board starts, can
we, we can remove that and turn that back into elevated catwalk
like normal practice?
MR. PATANJO: That's I believe solid fill. I didn't research it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: A lot of it is gone already. There is some
water underneath. I forget who it was. One of us saw that. It
is a little bit of fill.
MR. PATANJO: No problem. We'll, we can rebuild the structure
anyway, so we'll rebuild that section.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: And then continue it all the way back toward --
MR. PATANJO: Well, do you want to go, you see the straight
bulkhead projection line, we can do the bulkhead straight and
then take off the section that extends beyond that, I guess it's
Board of Trustees 26 July 18, 2018
a six or seven-foot wide deck area behind there? So from, if we
take this line and go straight up. This section starting here,
out to here we'll make open, as all here.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Are you open minded to making the pier go all
the way back to the landward edge of that deck?
MR. PATANJO: I don't know how that would help us, just for the
mere fact now where is the bulkhead getting returned? Right now
the bulkhead goes beyond to the far side of that and returns. I
mean, I guess, it probably doesn't matter because there is no
bulkhead on the other side. You are talking a couple of feet.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I poked my head under it. It's in disrepair,
generally, throughout that area. It's probably easier to just
cut the return where I'm standing, in other words on that side,
and then run the catwalk all the way up.
MR. PATANJO: You are saying cut it here.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Yes.
MR. PATANJO: And do the bulkhead return along here and the rest
is here. Yes, I'm fine with that.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: We'd actually restoring some 150, 200-square
feet of good, vegetated, tidal wetland on that.
MR. PATANJO: And that section, can we maintain that same width
of the five feet in lieu of the four feet which is proposed?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I personally would like to see it go to four on
that.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: At last I checked they didn't have
five foot. On through-flow maybe they do.
MR. PATANJO: Good question. I don't know.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I'm not sure about five.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I'm thinking about the homeowner and
everything. They do have that pretty nice deck there already.
Is it possible we can go to four?
MR. PATANJO: Four foot. Approved.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone else here that wishes to speak
regarding this application, or questions or comments from the
Board?
(Negative response).
Okay, hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I make a motion to approve this application
with the following amendments, which will bring it into
consistency with the LWRP coordinator.
Number one, new plans depicting the following: Remove
portion of catwalk with sideboards and replace with four-foot
through-flow to match the rest of the catwalk. Have that whole
section extend to land and run the return right there at the
edge of it. Make and maintain a ten-foot non-turf buffer. Also
on those plans depict the size of the current deck along the
shoreline. And therefore bringing this application into
consistency.
MR. PATANJO: Can I ask a question?
Board of Trustees 27 July 18, 2018
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: We are in the middle of a motion.
MR. HAGAN: Is this a question for the attorney or of the Board?
MR. PATANJO: The ten-foot non-turf buffer is not--we'll talk
about it later.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Let's talk about it later. That's my motion.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It would just be on the section on their
property.
MR. PATANJO: All right.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Mr. President, may we please have a very
brief recess?
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Five-minute recess.
(After a five-minute recess, these proceedings continue as follows).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Okay, we are back on the record. Number nine,
Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of ARTHUR SKELSKIE & NAN MOLOFSKY
requests a Wetland Permit.to remove and replace in-place
existing 6' wide by 25' long deck using untreated Ipe decking
and install an,8' wide bench; install fill and topsoil to bring
up the grade surrounding proposed deck to be level with deck
surface to create an on-grade deck; remove and replace existing
4'x5' cantilevered platform in similar location using untreated
Ipe decking; remove and replace existing adjustable ramp with a
30"x12' aluminum ramp in similar location; and remove and
replace existing 6'x20' floating dock supported with two (2) 10"
diameter piles in similar location using untreated Ipe decking;
install one 10" diameter tie-off pile adjacent to platform; and
install twelve 8" diameter piles sister to existing face piles
along existing vinyl bulkheading which consists of a 50' long
section, a 16' long section, and a 5' long section for a
combined total of 71 linear feet of bulkheading. Located: 510
Bayberry Road, Cutchogue. SCTM# 1000-111-14-36.8
The Trustees did a field inspection on this site on July
11th and noted this was a straightforward application.
The LWRP coordinator found this to be consistent.
And the Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support
this application.
Is there anyone here to speak to this application?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicant. Just for
the record I did get a DEC permit for the project yesterday.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Any questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response).
Anyone else wish to speak to this application?
(Negative response).
Hearing no comments, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Motion to approve this application as submitted.
Board of Trustees 28 July 18, 2018
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Next application, number ten, Michael Kimack
on behalf of BAYSHORE ROAD, LLC requests a Wetland Permit to
repair the existing 100' long concrete seawall by stabilizing
two (2) vertical cracks, repairing spauled areas and pouring
support footings under first concrete step; re-stone existing
42sq.ft. concrete landing; replace steel handrail with aluminum
o/e; and parge concrete as needed.
Located: 3345 Bay Shore Road, Greenport. SCTM# 1000-53-6-9
This application is deemed consistent by the LWRP.
The Trustees viewed it on our inspection on the 11th and
viewed it as straightforward.
The Conservation Advisory Council has voted to be in
support of it.
As a, personally, I own a bulkheaded in trust for my mom's
place, which is almost 80-years old. It's concrete. I have great
empathy for this project. Is there anyone here who wishes to
speak to this project?
MR. KIMACK: Michael Kimack on behalf of the applicant. I found
that it was in good shape when I looked at it also.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Amazing.
MR. KIMACK: It is amazing. The cracks were situated at the buttress
areas. They were vertical. But there was no deflection of the
cracks or anything like that, nothing was really moving around.
It's fairly straightforward, to be cut back, fill it in with 5,000-pound Sacrete.
The spauling area at the same time can be filled. The staircase, if you
look at that lower step, pour underneath it. The DEC did have a comment
on that to me. They asked me since it was in a highwater mark how are
you going to deal with that, and I had responded to them basically saying the
form would be set at low tide and then there is less than half a
yard to be poured in there going down about two foot. It would
be poured on the low tide point and has four or five hours to
set and the sea water would not have any effect on it. Other
than that, it's pretty much it.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: Can you clarify for us what the aluminum O/E means?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Is that an abbreviation?
MR. KIMACK: Or equal. I apologize. When I do an O/E.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I was trying to figure it out.
MR. KIMACK: I looked at it. It's steel now. And I suggested aluminum.
But he might consider steel. But aluminum would be the best choice.
It's an or/equal situation on that one. It certainly looked
like it had to be replaced. It's an interesting house. The house
had been moved at one time. It had not been situated there. It
had been brought in and reset.
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: It's pretty straightforward. Any questions?
(Negative response).
Anyone else wish to speak to the application?
(Negative response).
Not seeing or hearing anyone, I make a motion to close this
Board of Trustees 29 July 18, 2018
hearing.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I'll make a motion to approve this
application as submitted.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Number eleven, Michael Kimack on behalf of
CATHY &ANTHONY IASELLO request a Wetland Permit to remove
existing bulkhead and construct new±65 linear foot long vinyl
bulkhead in-place, and raise the height of the new bulkhead to
match neighboring bulkheads; construct a 10' long return along
easterly property line; construct a ±65' long retaining wall
with a ±5' long easterly return approximately 15' landward of
new bulkhead; backfill area between bulkhead and retaining wall
with ±100 cubic yards of clean sand and establish and
perpetually maintain the area as a non-turf buffer area; and to
remove existing beach stairs and construct a 3'x4' cantilevered
platform with 3' wide steps to beach off bulkhead.
Located: 4295 Camp Mineola Road, Mattituck. SCTM# 1000-123-5-24.1
The LWRP found this to be consistent.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
The Trustees conducted a field inspection on July 11th,
noting it was a straightforward replacement, and for a non-turf
buffer to match up with the neighbors to the west.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MR. KIMACK: Michael Kimack on behalf of the applicant. Exactly
right. When I looked at it also, the replacement was fairly
straightforward in raising it about a foot equal to the two
sides. And the non-turf buffer was an area built inside the
retaining wall matching the other one at 15 feet and just
bringing it right across, basically, at that time. So, and the
stairs, rather than have the stairs come out, we were going to
have a little platform, run it parallel, so it was a little
closer into the bulkhead and not sticking out as much.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Would that be removable?
MR. KIMACK: No, that was straightforward wood. But when you
turn it like that you can tie it into the bulkhead. It will be a lot
stronger. This one seems to have weathered it pretty well. This
particular. Apparently they don't take as much storms. That's
been in there for a while, primarily.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Anyone else here who wishes to speak
regarding this application?
(Negative response).
Any questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response).
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: The project seems straightforward.
Board of Trustees 30 July 18, 2018
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Hearing none, I make a motion to close this
hearing.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I make a motion to approve this application
with the condition of a 15-foot non-turf buffer to match the
neighbor to the west.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Number 12, Michael Kimack on behalf of PETER &
MARISA PATINELLA request a Wetland Permit to construct additions
to the existing two-story dwelling with attached garage by,
removing a portion of the 2nd floor roof; construct a 4.3'x16.4'
addition to attached garage; construct a 3.5'x9.5' first floor
addition on east side; construct a 10.9'x21.1' covered porch on
landward side; construct a 3.7'x9.5' addition on westerly
corner; and construct a 16.4'x13.5' second floor addition for a
total new footprint of 2,125sq.ft. for the dwelling; and for the
existing 24'x25.4' (609.6sq.ft.) brick patio with 3'x32'
(96sq.ft.) brick walk with two "L" shaped sections (one is
4.5'x2', 95sq.ft., second is 4'x3', 12sq.ft.).
Located: 440 South Lane, East Marion. SCTM# 1000-38-6-2
The LWRP coordinator found this to be consistent, but
recommended that a non-turf buffer is required.
The Conservation Advisory Council resolved to support this
application.
The Trustees visited this site 7/11/18, and the one note
was that we would like to see gutters to leaders to drywells.
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MR. KIMACK: Michael Kimack on behalf of the applicant. The
non-turf would be basically at the top of the bank, at the
staircase over there. You would be looking for about a ten-foot
non-turf buffer?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes
MR. KIMACK: Okay. And the gutters and leaders, I suspect also that I would
imagine that the Building Department would require that, in that
situation. For this one.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Could I get you to draw us a new set of plans
showing --
MR. KIMACK: I can get you a new set of plans showing the
non-turf buffer if you can condition it based upon the gutters and leaders in
the permit, on that particular one. That would be helpful. I'll
just follow it through and I'll get you a drawing showing the
ten-foot non-turf buffer.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay. Is there anyone else here to speak
regarding this application?
(Negative response).
Did the Board have any other questions or comments?
Board of Trustees 31 July 18, 2018
(Negative response).
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I make a motion to approve this application
with the submission of new plans depicting a ten-foot non-turf
buffer and that gutters, leaders and drywells be installed.
TRUSTEE WILLIAMS: Second.
TRUSTEE DOMINO: All in favor?
(ALL AYES).
MR. KIMACK: Thank you, very much. Have a good evening,
everybody.
