Town Board Approves Multiple Wetlands Permits with Buffer, erosion controls and as-built requirements
Summary
The Shelter Island Town Board approved wetlands permits and amendments for properties on Shore Road, Peconic Avenue and Dickerson Drive, each subject to conditions including vegetated buffers, drywells, silt fencing and as‑built surveys.
The Town Board approved a series of wetlands permits for private properties with conditions intended to protect wetlands and groundwater. Resolutions include a corrected permit for Bootsie LLC at 85 Shore Road (2026-99), approval for Courtenay O’Sullivan at 74 Peconic Avenue (2026-100) and approval for Meryl Rosofsky and Stuart Coleman at 31B Dickerson Drive (2026-101). Each approval includes site‑specific conditions such as mandatory vegetated buffers (25' or 30'), revised planting plans, drywells for stormwater, low‑flow well pump limits, and requirements for final as-built surveys.
Meeting minutes record that the Board found no practicable alternatives to construction outside regulated areas and determined the projects met the review standards in Town Code §129-5. Conditions across the approvals emphasize erosion control measures—trenched, wire‑backed silt fencing with specific installation requirements—prompt re-vegetation or temporary mulch if final planting must wait, and final inspections before permits are closed out.
