Southold Town Planning Board - 2 - August 24 , 1972
Chairman ' s Minutes
Mr. Russell of Fishers Island spoke with the Board
about the excavating and filling of wetlands on Walsh
property adjacent to his . At a later time Mrs . O 'Neil
and Mr. Guest registered protests against this project.
These people were told that Mr. Walsh could only have
one single family home per acre on this land and it would
require an approved highway presumably constructed to
existing town highway specifications . If the adjacent
owners felt that such a highway would be out of place in
such a location they were advised to make their wishes
known to the Planning Board and the Superintendent of
Highways .
In this discussion it was also brought out that
Walsh had engaged in unauthorized filling of wetlands to
the extent of about 1000 cubic yards and appeared to be
in direct violation of the town' s wetlands ordinance.
The area filled being about 240 feet land and varying in
width up to 60 or more feet. This area having been
covered with Spartina Patens grass and some of the grass
still visable in low areas of the fill.
Discussion was also held with Russell and others
on the "South Beach" . This area adjoins the Airport and
apparently is being used by bathers who come in by plane.
The residents would prefer that this beach be developed
by the Town on the Ferry District. They were informed
that this would have to be cleared by the F.A.A.
