Peconic Land Trust, homeowners cleared to pursue lily-pad removal; fees waived
Summary
Trustees advanced a lily-pad removal permit brought by Peconic Land Trust and agreed to waive application fees because the organization is a nonprofit, pending a corrected short environmental assessment form and resolution paperwork.
The Southampton trustees advanced a permit application to remove invasive lily pads after Peconic Land Trust and homeowner representatives described alignment with an existing Agwam permit. Trustees agreed to waive application fees on the basis that the applicant is a nonprofit.
The board asked the applicant to correct a typographical error on the short environmental assessment form and deliver the revised paperwork promptly; the matter is scheduled for resolution at the board’s next step. "And and we intend to waive the fees because you are a nonprofit," Chair (speaker 2) said during the discussion. Trustees also asked staff to include required language on the cover sheet and to coordinate logistics for any staging or boat-ramp access needed for the work.
