Summary

Shorewood Farms (care of Steve Levy) requested a maintenance dredge of the entrance channel to Clark Creek to -6 ft mean low water (~1,000 cu yd). The board reviewed the DEC permit reference, noted prior maintenance and neighbor silence, and closed the hearing.

The Town Board heard a maintenance dredging application from Shorewood Farms, care of Steve Levy, to dredge the entrance channel of Clark Creek to -6 feet mean low water under a referenced DEC permit, producing approximately 1,000 cubic yards of sandy spoil to be trucked off-site.

Board members noted this is a recurring maintenance stretch and that previous dredging had not generated neighbor complaints; the applicant and board confirmed a designated bulkheaded spoil area is available. After brief questions about frequency and past practice, the board moved to close the hearing.
