WETLAND & COASTAL EROSION PERMITS:
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Under Wetland & Coastal Erosion Permits,
numbers 1, 2 and 3, we are going to do as a group, since they
are all similar homeowner, connecting properties .
So, number 1, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of STEPHANIE &
IOANNIS LAGOUDIS requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion
Permit to reconstruct existing 55 linear foot long rock
revetment in-place using existing stone and supplementing with a
maximum of 30 tons of new stone added with overall dimensions of
approximately 6' -7 ' in width and height.
Located: 22395 Soundview Avenue, Southold. SCTM# 1000-135-1-23
Number 2, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of STEPHANIE & IOANNIS
LAGOUDIS requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion Permit
for the as-built 4 ' tall by 28 linear foot long concrete
bulkhead to remain; install 120 linear feet of rock revetment
using angular boulders ranging in size from 2 to 4 tons to be
placed along existing toe of bluff, along the seaward side of
existing shed foundation, along the as-built bulkhead, and along
the west side of the raised patio wall; and to install 4 ' x6 '
steps to beach off west wall. Located: 22455 Soundview Avenue,
Southold. SCTM# 1000-135-1-24 . 1
And Number 3, Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of STEPHANIE &
IOANNIS LAGOUDIS requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion
Permit to remove existing storm damaged bulkhead and replace
with 86 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead in same location as
existing; proposed installation of 65 linear feet of stone
armoring against new bulkhead with a maximum of 2 . 5 tons per
lineal foot; remove and replace 141x50 ' seaward patio with new
un-treated timber deck patio in same location and elevation as
existing; and remove existing northerly steps not to be
replaced.
Located: 22615 Soundview Avenue, Southold. SCTM#
1000-135-1-25 . 1
On Number 1, that is 22395 Soundview Avenue, the Trustees
conducted a field inspection May 6th, 2026, notes read pulling
the rocks landward to the edge.
The LWRP found that project to be consistent.
On 22455 Soundview Avenue, again, the Trustees conducted a
field inspection May 6th, 2026. Notes read move boathouse deck,
practice coastal retreat as much as possible.
The LWRP found this project to be inconsistent. The
inconsistency is with Policy 6. 3, Protect And Restore Tidal And
Board of Trustees 12 May 13, 2026
Freshwater Wetlands .
The proposed action includes installation of a stone rip
rap revetment seaward of the wetland boundary, which does not
meet the definition of a "revetment, " and therefore it is not a
permitted activity. Chapter 275-2, Definitions, the word
"Revetment" is defined as a shoreline hardened structure
landward of the wetland boundary, typically constructed of rock
or stone.
Number three, at 22615 Soundview Avenue, Southold.
Again, the Trustees conducted a field inspection on May
6th, 2026. Notes read as follows : Concern for the vinyl
bulkhead in proximity to the Sound. Trees and debris will
puncture or damage to the property next door. Patios and deck
should be pulled back or removed. Do not recommend a hardwood
surface in the rear yard. Rear deck creates major storm hazard.
All rock revetment pulled back past mean high water is likely
but at best optional .
Need to work with DEC on solution to debris on to beach to
be removed. No hard walkways on side of house. Pull wall back
in line with neighbors to the east. And put in revetment.
The LWRP found this one to be inconsistent as well . The
inconsistency is with Policy 6. 3, Protect and Restore Tidal
Wetlands and Freshwater Wetlands .
The proposed action includes installation of a stone rip
rap revetment seaward of the wetland boundary, which doesn' t
meet the definition of a "revetment, " and therefore is not a
permitted activity.
Under Chapter 275-2, Definitions, the definition of
"revetment" is a shoreline hardened structure landward of the
wetland boundary, typically constructed of rock or stone.
In addition to this, the proposed plan calls for
replacement of an existing concrete seawall which does not
appear to have been legally installed, and therefore should not
be replaced with a new structure.
. Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding these
applications?
MR. PATANJO: Jeff Patanjo, on behalf of the applicants .
I just jotted down a couple of notes on these projects
combined as one, as discussed.
The idea here is, for the first spot, take that first,
which is the furthest west one, 22395 . That one is nothing more
than rebuilding what was there and what was not, you know,
damaged from storms along the way. There is a lot of washout,
there is a lot of erosion. So it ' s really just rebuilding it in
the same location, adding some additional stone to fortify it.
Then moving down the line, which is property number 22455,
that one, similarly as you saw there, the entire bank is getting
eroded. There is major erosion. The stakes that I set out
there prior to your site inspection identify with the toe of the
Board of Trustees 13 May 13, 2026
new, the rip rap would be, which would serve the purpose of
armoring the toe, and replanting vegetation on the upper portion
of it to stabilize that section.
With regard to the existing wood deck and the existing
shed, that has been there since the creation of the house, which
according to the homeowner dates back to the ' 20s and ' 30s, and
it ' s been in existence for a long period of time . There is a
foundation under it that is stabilized. The shed is, * I call it a
shed, it ' s labeled on the plans as a shed, but it ' s a boathouse.
It ' s been there, it has not sustained any damage . This project
is an effort to maintain it for the use of the homeowners .
Moving on to the other property, which is 22615, the
existing concrete wall, as you see, there is a lot of damage
there. Over time the storm damage has led to a lot of erosion
undermining. The proposed project includes keeping it in its
current location, keeping the outer limits of it right where
they remain, because there is the overhead cantilevered deck,
which has the same footprint as the patio below.
Replacing it with deeper, stronger vinyl sheathing, with
the stone armoring in front of it, is a typical means used on
many projects and has been approved many times before for
projects along The Sound. It breaks up the wave energy, stops
the undermining of the bulkhead, and it also is consistent with
many of the surrounding homeowners and properties along the
shoreline, adjacent to this property.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So where do you currently stand as far as
with the DEC permits?
MR. PATANJO: The DEC is ahead of it . (Indiscernible) .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Okay, because as we know, in visiting the
site, the adjacent town beach, adjacent to that revetment, this
area is in bad shape all the way around.
MR. PATANJO: Yes .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So we want to make sure we get this right .
Everybody is putting their heads together with us and the DEC to
come up with a comprehensive plan, also plans for the revetment
to the west, eventually and all of these three properties, you
know, for best effect of tying them all in together as opposed
to being staggered.
So I think the prudent thing to do here would be to meet
onsite with us, with the DEC, with the homeowner, and
potentially come up with a game plan so that everybody is
working together.
We did have some pictures in the file from, I believe it
was 2009, of what this property looked like before, and I think
it ' s 50-plus feet. There is a lot of vegetation there, so, you
know, this coastal erosion is not happening at some far off
place or some distant time. It ' s happening here, now, and
unfortunately this is Ground Zero for Southold Town, as we see
with Town Beach just to the east .
Board of Trustees 14 May 13, 2026
MR. PATANJO: Correct.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: So I think for all of us, we need to get all
groups together and put our heads together and see what we can
come up with for that, you know, you and your applicant are now
getting in the back and forth between and us and the DEC as to
what you can or cannot do. You know, it ' s a very challenging
spot, and challenging positions . So it ' s going to maybe take
some thinking outside of the box to come up with a good solution
for it .
MS . LAGOUDIS: Stephanie Lagoudis, 22615 Soundview Avenue. Just a
quick statement.
You have been here, you've seen the condition. It ' s really
time is of the essence. If we don' t get this done before
October, that home is going to be gone.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Yes, ma' am. And that ' s part of the reason
that we want to go with the DEC. Because you have five sets of
eyeballs on it . We 've seen it, we've been there. I don' t know
that the DEC has been there or what they looked at. So we want
to make sure we are all looking at it with the same eyes .
From our perspective, the Town usually moves a lot quicker.
We are here, so if the DEC came next month, whatever, and came
forward with a permit, we are able to move on that quickly. But
I don' t know the DEC timeframe. They are always a lot longer
than the Town, so if we are just putting this in kind of a
holding pattern to see what they say so that, you know, we don' t
give you something and then the DEC comes back with something
different that you' ll have to modify and come back to us, with
the delay even longer.
MS . LAGOUDIS: And then we lose another 30 days and the next
thing you know it ' s 2027 .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: . Yes, ma' am.
MS. LAGOUDIS : Thank you, very much.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: You' re welcome.
MR. PATANJO: I just also want to state also for the record that
the intent here is to create a stabilized, flowing shoreline
that follows the natural, you know, existing conditions to the
toe of the existing area.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Ms . Lagoudis, did the DEC look at this at the
time as an emergency?
MR. PATANJO: No, they will not look at this as an emergency.
Unfortunately. I feel they should. We did actually contact them
to ask them to look at it, and they said no.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Is there anyone else here wishing to speak
regarding this application?
MR. LAGOUDIS : My name is Steve Lagoudis . So what happens in
this situation where we cannot meet time-wise, and I got to make
a decision to save my house?
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Time-wise, as far as?
MR. LAGOUDIS : Meaning if it ' s not done by October, you seen the
Board of Trustees 15 May 13, 2026
house, it ' s gone. Now, we talking about a house that is worth
some money. I 'm going to have to really be at the mercy of you
guys and the rest of the group. You cannot see the emergency
right now?
And what if you guys approve it and then we wait for the
approval of the DEC. It ' s two different departments . A
decision needs to be made. The house will be gone, and, I don' t
know, we are not in a situation to lose that asset. It cost us a
tremendous amount of money. I 'm just telling you how I feel.
I 'm not going to wait to see the house to be gone because the
group decide not to do it, whatever.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Sir, I understand exactly what you are saying
and where you are coming from. And I would recommend to speak to
your licensed professional here, because he understands what we
are trying to do.
We don' t want you to get ping-ponged back and forth between
the agencies . Talk to the DEC. We are happy to work with you,
we are happy to meet with them. If that doesn' t happen and they
ask you to get the permit, we can pick it up from there. The
Town, I would say, always moves much quicker. So once you have
the DEC permit in hand, we can move quickly.
MR. LAGOUDIS : You realize that I 'm just trying to replace what I
lost there. I 'm not increasing the house. I 'm just replacing
what was there.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: In order to move forward with any project,
you' ll need a permit from all agencies . So just having the
permit from Southold town --
MR. LAGOUDIS : It ' s not sufficient . I understand that .
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: (Continuing) We are trying to speed up the
process by working with you and with the DEC.
MR. LAGOUDIS : .Okay, thank you.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Thank you. Is there anyone else here wishing
to speak regarding this application? Or any other comments from
the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to table all three of these
applications for a site visit with the DEC, for the DEC permit.

Consulting on behalf of EDWARD QUINTIERI III requests a Wetland
Permit to replace the existing docking facility consisting of
removing the existing 4 'x16' floating dock, 41x42 ' floating
Board of Trustees 16 May 13, 2026
dock, 4 'xl4 ' floating dock and 81x21 ' floating boat lift; off of
bulkhead existing 3 'xl3 ' metal ramp to remain and install a
4 'x27 ' floating dock in an "L" configuration with a 3 'x4 ' finger

(2) ice breaker float piles .
Located: 480 North Riley Avenue, Mattituck. SCTM#
1000-122-3-34 . 1
The Trustees most recently reviewed this application on the
llth of May, noting that they reviewed the new plans, the dock
with vessel appears to be less than the 25% width of the creek.
The LWRP coordinator originally found this to be
inconsistent, noting the dock was built without a permit. It
exceeded the percentage allowed across the creek. Floats are not
permitted. One 6x20 float is permitted. Dock configuration is
not compliant with past permit. Is there anyone here wishing
to speak regarding this application?
MR. JUST: Good evening, Glenn Just, on behalf of the applicant.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : So we reviewed the new plans and they appear to
conform to code. So is there anyone else wishing to comment on
this application?
(Negative response) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Hearing none, I make a motion to close the
hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second. All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I make a motion to approve this application

MR. , JUST: Thank you, very much.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Number 2, CONTINUED FROM 2/11/26 AS PER
REVISED SITE PLAN AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION RECEIVED 5/11/26
En-Consultants on behalf of ANTHONY CATTARINA & DEITRA MARA
requests a Wetland Permit to construct an "L" shaped fixed
timber dock consisting of a 41x14 ' landward ramp to a 4 ' x 156 '
fixed catwalk constructed with open-grate decking and rope
handrails to a 4 ' x 16 ' terminal platform; dock to be equipped
with water and electricity.
Located: 3500 Beebe Drive, Cutchogue. SCTM# 1000-103-9-3
The Trustees visited the site on the 6th of May, notes the
wetlands continue to naturalize. Dock appears to be 19 or 20
feet further in. That ' s against prior plans .
The LWRP from the prior version of this project found the
project to be inconsistent, citing extent of docks over bottom
land owned by the Town.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
Board of Trustees 17 May 13, 2026
application?
(No response) .
Members of the Board?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : With what started out as a dock that has been a
little too far out into the creek, and a piece of property being
mowed into the wetland, even in the last month, has grown back,
and with a significant reduction I feel it ' s a lot more of an
appropriate application.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : In our site visit, we noticed the low marsh
re-naturalizing, was recently mowed, and there is high marsh
species in the mix, growing back as well . So I think it ' s
important to create some sort of protection in the area around
the dock, for a non-disturbance buffer, and then I think it ' s
prudent to put a ten-foot vegetated non-turf buffer landward of
the edge of dock to allow that place to re-naturalize and become
habitat-able.
Hearing no further comments from the public or members of
the Board, I ' ll make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second. All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I make a motion to approve this application
subject to new plans delineating a non-disturbance buffer in the
area around the dock, and a ten-foot vegetated non-turf buffer
landward of the dock, thereby bringing this project into
consistency with the LWRP.

AS PER REVISED SITE PLAN RECEIVED 5/4/2026 Peconic Bay Land Use
Consultants, LLC on behalf of LINDA & JEROME MORRISSEY requests
a Wetland Permit to remove existing wood deck, masonry patio,
wood walkway, and a portion of existing driveway and BBC;
install a 2, 171sq. ft. Partially raised masonry patio with steps
to ground; a 12 ' x30 ' in-ground swimming pool; install a 6'x6'
drywell, pool equipment area, pool enclosure fencing with gates;
and an 8 . 2 ' x12 . 3 ' storage shed.
Located: 1780 Great Peconic Bay Boulevard, Laurel .
SCTM# 1000-145-4-2 . 1 .
The Trustees most recently visited the site on the llth of
May -- sorry. The Trustees conducted an in-house review on the
llth of May, noting to move the drywell landward and concerned
about pool equipment location, and potential screening may be a
solution.
The LWRP reviewed a previous submission of this application
and found it to be inconsistent. The inconsistency was largely
about setbacks .
We are in receipt of new plans, stamped received 'May 4th,
Board of Trustees 18 May 13, 2026
2026, which depicted a greater setback at 84 feet.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MS . MORRISSEY: Linda Morrissey, 1780 Great Peconic Boulevard,
Laurel.
We had revised the pool location to comply with the updated
setback requirements, and the pool is now approximately 85 feet
from the wetlands . We submitted a revised stamped survey and
revised project description reflecting those changes, and we
respectfully request that the Board review the revised
submission as part of our existing application.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Thank you. In reviewing the new plans, thank
you for moving it back. We just noticed that there is a little
bit of a discrepancy with the rendering and the site plan. In
one, the rendering that we received, the pool equipment is
located at a slightly different location. Is it the rendering or
the site plan?
MS . MORRISSEY: I would like it to be on the survey. I want to
move it over there.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Okay, in that case we would like to see some
screening, in terms of plantings around it so the neighbors, you
know --
MS . MORRISSEY: I don' t want to see them either.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: -- (continuing) so close to the property line.
And then the other conversation we had is around the pool
drywell. Typically we ask to see the drywell landward of the
pool, since the pool runoff will be going into the drywell and
the proximity to the wetlands and it ' s something that we would
like to see farther away from the wetland. So, if you could find
an alternative location for the pool drywell.
MS . MORRISSEY: I don' t understand what you mean, I 'm sorry.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: So we recommend a location landward of the
pool. So further away from the wetland.
MS . MORRISSEY: Okay.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Is there anyone here wishing to speak
regarding this application?
(No response) .
Any questions or comments from the Board?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.

TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: I make a motion to approve this application
subject to the relocation of the drywell landward of the pool,

pool, with the new plans, we are thereby bringing this into
consistency with the LWRP.

TRUSTEE FINORA: Number 4, Creative Environmental Consulting on
behalf of DAVID & RANDI' VOGEL requests a Wetland Permit for the
as-built clearing of the trees that were to remain on the
property; vegetate the 15 ' wide non-turf buffer using native
species; plant 18 - 21-� to 3 inch caliper red or white oak trees
throughout the property; plant 20 green giant arborvitaes and 4
Junipers along the north property line, and plant additional
vegetation in areas within the property.
Located: 230 Wiggins Lane, Greenport . SCTM# 1000-35-4-28 . 41 .
The Trustees conducted a site inspection on May 6th, 2026,
with notes that this is a straightforward restoration program.
The LWRP finds that this project is inconsistent, noting
inconsistencies with Policy 6, specifically the lack of a
maintenance and watering plan, and the replacement caliper size
being insufficient for the size and scale of trees that were
illegally removed.
I would like to open the public hearing.
Is there anyone here that cares to speak on this
application?
MR. CHICANOWICZ : Yes . Dave Chicanowicz, Creative Environmental
Design.
I have been working with the owner, he knew he did a bad
thing by cutting all these trees down. I said let ' s make the
Trustees happy, give them everything they need to make this
work.
So the plan that I had submitted is based on Trustee
recommendations, as far as a two-to-one replacement of the large
trees, two-and-half to three-inch caliper red and white oaks,
plus we are doing vegetation in the non-turf area. I think I
have 79 or 80 native grasses throughout that area. And then we
did some screening on the northern border of the property,
additional to.
So hopefully that meets your requirements .
TRUSTEE FINORA: Are there any comments from the Board?
MS. HULSE: Did he have a planting plan pending or is that --
MR. CHICANOWICZ : I don' t know. That ' s a Pat Moore situation.
MS. MOORE: No, we are waiting for this plan to be approved and
then come back next time.
TRUSTEE FINORA: Okay, being no other comments, does anyone from
the public wish to speak to this application?
(Negative response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second. All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE FINORA: I would make a motion to approve this
Board of Trustees 20 May 13, 2026
application on the condition that half of the replacement trees
be increased in caliper size from two to three, to three-plus,
to satisfy the inconsistencies noted in the LWRP.

starting at a point near the southeast corner of the property.
and running approximately 25 . 75 ' northwest, with one spur
running approximately 29 . 5 ' west, and the other spur running
approximately 11 ' north, then 19. 4 ' northeast, joined by a stair
to the dwelling entry below, then 11 ' north, then 11 ' northwest,
then 43 . 95 ' west; as-built 235sq. ft. Paver patio and stairs
below retaining wall adjacent to dwelling with gravel pathways;
as-built 4 . 6 ' x7 . 8 ' outdoor shower; as-built 8 . 4 ' x5 . 5 ' concrete
crawl space entry well; an RCA driveway topped with crushed blue
stone; install gutters to leaders to drywells to contain roof
runoff; and to perpetually maintain the 40 ' wide vegetated
non-turf buffer along the landward edge of wetlands . Located:
800 Koke Drive, Southold. SCTM# 1000-87-5-7 .
The Trustees most recently conducted a field inspection May
6th, notes retaining walls were unpermitted.
The LWRP found this project to be inconsistent. The
inconsistency is the proposed action is inconsistent due to the
fact it was constructed without permits . However, should the
Trustees wish to approve the proposed action, it can be found
consistent for the following reasons : Conditions for the
dwelling are landward of the previous footprint of the dwelling.
Installation of an I/A system to reduce nitrogen filtration into
waters as per Policy 5 .
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MR. LACHAPELLE: Jake LaChapelle. LaChapelle Architecture.
So as you see, the previously approved scheduled work in
2024, the property consisted of the addition of a seasonal
Board of Trustees 21 May 13, 2026
cottage to bring it up to zoning minimum size. This included the
rebuilt deck, new IA system and new screened-in porch.
This application is the outdoor shower, crawl space entry
well, and the site wall that you referenced, which is on the
landward side of the house and well clear of the 40-foot buffer.
And as we, as you mentioned, it ' s consistent with LWRP, if we
have that.
The entry to the house, coupled with the septic system
constraints, requires a step up the hill, and I outlined this
with Joe. A wall is there was there and we needed to get from
the street-side parking to the house, and a sizeable open area
is needed for that IA system. And the IA system needs to be
below the finished floor of the house if we are going to gravity
feed it, and so we need that space in front of the house.
If you have any questions about that geometry, I can get
into more detail. But I ' ll leave it at that.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: No, I think we are okay. Anybody else here
wishing to speak regarding this application?
(No response) .
Any other questions or comments from the Board?

The Trustees most recently visited the site on the 5th of
May, noted that the updated plans were reviewed, a large mound
service buffer, leading to a non-turf vegetated buffer with
natives most conform with the pier line.
The LWRP coordinator found this to be consistent .
Is there anyone here that wishes to speak regarding this
application?
MR. GOYDAN: Sure . Good evening. Bill Goydan, the homeowner.
We had previously here in January when with the demolition
came back now, with the renovation, we now come back which a
demolition plan, moving everything behind the pier line,
installing an IA system. I believe for those reasons we think
we are in conformance with the request to approve the
application.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : So just a few clarifying things because we,
typically the Board receives, in addition to the architectural
plans and the standalone site plan that is here, mixed in with
the application, on page two of those plans .
Can you just clarify, is the deck cut at an angle to avoid
exceeding the pier line?
MR. GOYDAN: Yes .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Okay. It ' s a little hard, I don' t know if this,
from the side-view plans if that ' s depicted clearly. But it is
on the site plan.
MR. GOYDAN: Yes, it ' s going to be behind the pier line. It is
going to go on that angle.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Okay. And then do you just understand what we
are saying with regard, so you have obviously the beach and then
you have actually a really unique area for this spot where this
whole strip has a dunal area, primary dune. So we would just
want to maintain that as natural --
MR. GOYDAN: Yes .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : (Continuing) and then I believe on the plans
there was a vegetated non-turf buffer transitioning from that to
the house, from the lawn and to the house.
MR. GOYDAN: Correct, yes
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : All right, thank you. Is there anyone here
wishing to speak regarding this application?
(No response) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Any comments from the Board?
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: I think just speaking to the plans, I think we
want the call out on the buffer to say vegetated non-turf
buffer.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Yes, we have that. Thank you.
Hearing no additional comments, I ' ll make a motion to close
the hearing.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Second. All in favor?
Board of Trustees 23 May 13, 2026
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I make a motion to approve this application
with the stipulation that it conforms with the pier line, with
the addition of new plans showing a 15-foot native vegetated
non-turf buffer, from the top of bank landward. And from top of
bank seaward to be labeled as non-disturbance buffer. That is my
motion.
TRUSTEE FINORA: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
MR. GOYDAN: Thank you, very much.

Located: 2225 Calves Neck Road, Southold. SCTM# 1000-70-4-45 . 3 .
The Trustees visited the site on 5/6/26. Notes read same
project as previously approved.
And the LWRP found the project to be consistent .
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak about the LWRP?
MS . MOORE: Yes, I think they said it ' s consistent, right?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Yes
MS. MOORE: Good. Wonderful. So as you described, this is the
exact same plan, because during construction the permit expired.
So we had to reactivate the permit to continue. That ' s all.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: I did note that after we had done the site
visit, we noticed in our work session that there was the
addition of an easterly retaining wall, which was --
MS. MOORE: Oh, yes, that was -- I apologize, yes .
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: So, um, I believe that in reviewing it, it ' s
far enough away from the property line and it is conforming with
our safe maximum, but I want to note for the record that this is
a change from previous submission.
MS . MOORE: Correct . Yes, actually, I stand corrected. We were
originally going to come in as an amendment to the permit, for
Board of Trustees 24 May 13, 2026
that retaining wall . We didn' t want to build it without an
amendment. And that ' s when we found out the permit expired, so
we had to incorporate everything. But, thank you, for pointing
that out.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Okay.
MS MOORE: Yes, it ' s a very low one just to keep the level, the
property to our, the adjacent permanent is actually higher, so
we have to, we need the small retaining wall, it really is like
a curb at the beginning and then grows into a small retaining
wall to keep the neighbor' s soil from going on to the client ' s
property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Just to be clear, though, because we asked in
the field is this an exact reapplication. It could have delayed
this a month. Fortunately it was caught in work session, so.
MS. MOORE: Yes, it was actually in the descriptions,
specifically in the description.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Yes, it was, so.
MS. MOORE: So, yes . But, yes, you caught me. I screwed up.
Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Foiled again.
MS. MOORE: Foiled again. Thank you.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Anyone else?
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Members of the Board, any additional
comments?
(No response) .
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Hearing none, I ' ll make a motion to close the
hearing.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
TRUSTEE' SEPENOSKI : I ' ll make a motion to approve the application
as submitted.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?

NEXT CASE: Number 8, Patricia Moore, Esq. On behalf of
BRAVEPORTER, LLC requests a Wetland Permit for the as-built
demolition of the existing seaward one-story 937 . 6sq. ft.
Dwelling and replacement of any damaged foundation piles, all
reconstructed in-kind and in-place; abandon existing septic
system and install an I/A OWTS sanitary system landward of
dwelling; and to establish and perpetually maintain a 10 ' wide
non-turf buffer within the area of the 10 ' wide right-of-way.
Located: 1425 Bay Avenue, East Marion. SCTM# 1000-31-9-7 . 3
The Trustees most recently visited the site on the 6th of
May, noting vegetated non-turf lakeside of structure.
The LWRP reviewed this application and found it to be
consistent .
Board of Trustees 25 May 13, 2026
Is there anyone here wishing to speak regarding this
application?
MS. MOORE: Yes . Pat Moore on behalf of Braveporter LLC.
The two existing homes are, have been preserved. They have
been intentionally maintained, with non-permit requirement of
siding and roofing and things like that . We then needed some
posts under the house. It ' s all work under the existing house.
And the Building Department called it out as a demolition by
definition but, in fact the house is still exactly where it is,
it just needs some additional structural elements to it.
We have no problem with the request of the vegetated, a
vegetated buffer along the entire rear yard of the waterfront
house. That is not a problem. With the 50%, I think you said,
in my notes, 50%, and the area for gravel parking if necessary.
So where the right-of-way ends at the property line . The
sanitary system is currently on the seaward side of the house
that has been abandoned, and it is being replaced with a system
over by .the driveway of the front of the front house.
Is there a problem?
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Yes . You know, the one thing that we were
noticing in the work session is that this should be labeled a
bluff. And I think, again, we do find ourselves in a position
where I understand that maybe ordinary maintenance was going to
occur on this house but, um, there was certainly a moment where
this definitely crosses the territory where the Trustees should
have been reviewing it. As being onsite we could see what kind
of equipment had been used; with lots of stuff within the
proximity of Trustee jurisdiction. So, you know, just, again,
it ' s unfortunate that we are looking at it now instead of prior
to the construction that was done.
With that said, I think that we would like to see new plans
labeling the top of the bluff and the bottom of bluff.
MS . MOORE: Well, it is the lake, it is just like Hashamomuck
Pond, we generally call it a top of bank. It is not -- it ' s --
whether it ' s a bank or a bluff.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: It doesn't fit the Town Code definition of a
bluff, so.
MS . MOORE: Yes, but you describe a top of bank and top of bluff
interchangeably. So --
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Well, we are going to require new plans either
way, so in this case we would require it to be labeled top of
bluff and bottom of bluff.
We also will be requesting that, requiring that vegetated
non-turf buffer for the entirety of the distance from the house
to the top of the bluff. So we will require new plans for that
as well.
MS . MOORE: Okay, in the field, if you recall, there might, the
right-of-way ends and there might be a need for a parking area
there. So that was discussed in the field, as long as it was
Board of Trustees 26 May 13, 2026
nothing more than crushed stone, so.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: I think that the practicality of parking a
vehicle at the top of the bluff is something that we could
discuss later, if that meets the desire for them to park a
vehicle there. But I don't think it ' s something that we want to
write into a permit now.
I don' t see any need for it, with this current bluff, and
it ' s not an appropriate place to park a vehicle as the property
is at this moment .
So, a vegetated non-turf buffer by our definition does
allow for partial vegetation with partial other, you know,
coverage. And so I think in this case we are going to require it
be labeled a vegetate non-turf buffer in that entire area.
MS . MOORE: Okay, we may be back at some later date because I
think there is a plan to have the property split, so.
Also, as a secondary, I did find back in 2010, the prior
owner had built a staircase down. I don' t know if you saw it in
your records, because it ' s labeled under "Faust" 7 . 2 . But in any
case, in 2000 -- a little back story -- in 2010, the Mrs . Faust
was the owner of the property. Yes?
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: Sorry, is that part of this application?
MS . MOORE: As far as what we -- we are going to come back and
ask for steps to get access to the lake. I can come back.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: I don' t want to muddy up what we have so far.
MS . MOORE: No, I just want to make sure we don' t have some crazy
prohibition that I don' t know about. I just want to make sure,
you know, we need access to the lake, so.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I think it ' s just a little premature to
consider that.
Is there a permit for those areas?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I don' t even think we should even be talking
about that on this application. And honestly you should apply
for an extension on that.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : As of now it ' s a bluff, it ' s a non-turf
buffer seaward of the house.
MS. MOORE: Okay. In the code I would remind the Board that you
can have a path to the water, as long as it ' s not manmade
material, so I just want to make clear that it ' s on the record.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: We should have that discussion at our pre-site
inspection.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : It ' s the wrong record.
MS. MOORE: What was that?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : It ' s the wrong record. It ' s not being applied
for now.
MS . MOORE: No, but you don' t need a permit for a pathway to the
water. In your code, it is specifically allowed as long as
there are no manmade materials and it ' s cutting through a, no
different than a geo path, but that goes to the lake.
So I just want to put it on record because sometimes, you
Board of Trustees 27 May 13, 2026
know, clients end up creating a path that is specifically
permitted to give access . But if it ' s a structure, I will
certainly put in an application.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : And also it ' s the homeowner responsibility, as
a steward of the environment, right, not to remove vegetation
without approaching the Board for an application on that as
well.
MS . MOORE: Except for a pathway to the water through a, even a
non-disturbance buffer, is a specific authorized act in the
code. That ' s, I read it specifically. Please, just look in the
code. So.
Somehow there is a belief it ' s not a waterfront property.
I just want to make clear this is a lakefront property.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : I think it ' s just a reality in the field that
the distance that this person would have to cross over wetlands
would be significant. It ' s not as if this property ends at a
beach or ends at the water' s edge.
MS. MOORE: Well, what happened is, ultimately, I cross wetlands
for a kayak to get to Great Pond. That ' s, you know, it would be
nice to have a walkway, but if I don' t have one, you push a
kayak through, so. That ' s the way you access waterbodies
sometimes .
MS. HULSE: Are you referencing the definition of a
non-disturbance buffer? Or are you referencing that --
MS. MOORE: I would have to look. I can find it and give it to
you, or e-mail it to you. I specifically read that it ' s, maybe
it ' s in a non-disturbance -- it could be in the definition of
non-disturbance where it ' s on there --
MS . HULSE: It ' s in the definition of non-disturbance?
MS. MOORE: No, it ' s specifically written somewhere. I would have
to locate it, so.
MS. HULSE: So just to be clear, under "Operations, " removing or
otherwise affecting the growth of plantings in the wetlands or
in any area within the Trustees jurisdiction otherwise affecting
the growth of plantings in the wetlands or in any area within
the Trustees jurisdiction is considered an operation.
Trustee Krupski said that that would certainly seem to
require a permit for that sort of activity. So I don' t want to,
I would love to be able to look at what you are referring to.
Because it not in the definition of "non-disturbance buffer. "
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Also by state law you can' t just go into the
wetlands and start to remove anything.
MS. MOORE: No, no, I 'm not talking about removing anything
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I don' t know if I should table this to have
additional discussion in the field, maybe?
MS . MOORE: No, I mean, he needs to continue this house.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : But in bringing up another element, maybe we
need to table it .
MS. MOORE: Well, if you want to punish clients, you are welcome
r
Board of Trustees 28 May 13, 2026
to do that, but
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : Those are your words, not mine.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : The Trustees are trying to be circumspect
about the potential for --
MS. MOORE: We are not trying to create a violation, do anything
MS. HULSE: So, you brought this up. You haven' t cited the
section of the code. I would like to see where you are
referencing it so I can look at it and advise the Board so we
can move this along tonight.
It ' s not in the definition of "non-disturbance buffer. " It
is in the definition of "Operation. " It ' s under "exceptions, "
which is 275-4, they provide permitted exceptions in the
non-disturbance buffer areas, and it provides for ordinary and
usual operations incidental to, and it lists a whole bunch of
things, okay, but it specifically says, not withstanding, buffer
exceptions, operations within the designated non-disturbance
buffer are prohibited. And I just read to you what
"operations" --
MS . MOORE: I understand. But there is a specific section about
a pathway, and it says you can, you have the right to create a
pathway as long as they are no manmade materials applied. So
that ' s what --
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : That ' s fairly typical. I think we allow
access to waterbodies via a four-foot wide access path, but I
think it ' s important to locate that path because if a person
chooses to make their way through a shore-standing oak tree
because they want a path there, it ' s environmentally, you know,
bad.
MS. MOORE: Well, okay.
TRUSTEE SEPENOS,KI : Some people would like to know where that
path is .
MS. MOORE: I will come back with an application, because in
reality, if it ' s going to need more than a walkway, it ' s
probably going to, the best scenario is like a bluff on the
Sound, a staircase would be the most appropriate way to do this .
So I ' ll come back with that kind of permit, so.
MS . HULSE: All right . So just to be clear, my reading of non-
disturbance buffer does not allow any operation to take place. I
do see --
MS. MOORE: Is it under path, access path?
MS . HULSE: Access path, which was read. It does give you a
definition, an area cleared by hand, with handheld equipment, no
more than four-feet wide, left in its natural state, and devoid
of any manmade - structure, to provide a walkway to a body of
water. II
MS. MOORE: Yes .
MS . HULSE: But it ' s not a reference to the term of a
non-disturbance buffer. That ' s clearly the opposite. That ' s not
Board of Trustees 29 May 13, 2026
what that --
MS . MOORE: But the way I read it, I 'm sorry, I read it to mean
that you -are allowed a pathway through a non-disturbance, that
being the only thing you can do in a non-disturbance.
MS. HULSE: That is not provided for in 275 that I can see. If
you can provide an authority I ' ll be more than happy to look
through it . But I don' t believe it exists .
MS. MOORE: All right, I ' ll look for it. I ' ll provide a memo to
you, because under the state law, constitutional law, you have a
riparian right to access a body of water. You don' t have the
right to a certain length of the dock or anything else, but you
have a right to access the body of water, which is usually, our
just standard little, non, let ' s call it the most
inconsequential, pathway to get to the water. Once you need a
structure of manmade material, I would not disagree, you have to
come in for a permit, because you can' t put in any staircases or
anything else without the Trustees ' approval.
MS . HULSE: So if you are going to make a constitutional
argument, you would have to challenge the legality of the code.
As you know. If you want to do that, then go right ahead. If you
want to.
MS. MOORE: The secondary application for a permit might go
there.
MS . HULSE: At the end of the day I think that would be the
wisest choice to come back and .make sure it ' s approved.
MS. MOORE: Absolutely, yes . That house has been held up because
of these permits . Too long, so.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : For the life of me, I can' t understand why this
is brought up in this hearing. It has nothing to do with this
application. We could have talked about it in the field, we
could have talked about it at a pre-submission conference. I
don' t know why .we wasted copious amounts of time, it won' t be on
record for the next application. It ' s a separate application.
I 'm very confused.
MS . MOORE: Do you want to comment?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : I don' t want to extend it, to be honest with
you.
MS . MOORE: Exactly, so.
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: Is there anyone else here wishing to speak
regarding this application?
(No response) .
Any other questions or comments from the Board?
(No response) .
About riparian rights or anything else?
(No response) .
Hearing none, I make a motion to close this hearing.
TRUSTEE SEPENOSKI : Second.
TRUSTEE GOLDSMITH: All in favor?
(ALL AYES) .
Board of Trustees 30 May 13, 2026
TRUSTEE GILLOOLY: I make a motion to approve this application
subject to new plans depicting the bottom of bluff and top of
bluff, clearly delineating the non-disturbance buffer as to that
entire area, and vegetated non-turf buffer between the house and
the top of the bluff on the new plans . That is my motion.
