6 Bluff Avenue dock hearing continued after neighbors raise safety and zoning concerns
Summary
Agent for the 6 Bluff Avenue applicant proposed either original dock or a reduced 88.5-foot version; the Shelter Island Heights Property Owners Corporation urged denial citing safety and zoning concerns; the board adjourned the hearing to April 27 for additional WMAC input and legal review.
The March 16 public hearing on a dock application for 6 Bluff Avenue (Chad Rustan Pike 2012 Revocable Trust) was continued after agent John Armentano said the applicant seeks approval of either the original dock plan or a reduced 88.5‑foot version compliant with depth requirements, noting the project’s NYS DEC permit history. Lori Beard‑Raymond read a letter from the Shelter Island Heights Property Owners Corporation urging denial, citing swimmer safety, navigational hazard concerns and the property’s lack of a principal structure (raising accessory‑use zoning issues). Councilwoman Margaret Larsen asked the Town Attorney to review criteria for docks on vacant land.
Supervisor Amber Brach‑Williams moved to adjourn the hearing to April 27, 2026 to allow WMAC to review the revised application and for legal review; no final decision was made at the March 16 meeting.
