Sodus Point approves 62‑foot L‑shaped dock with conditions after neighbor input
Summary
The Planning Board approved Anthony Elwood’s application for a 62‑foot L‑shaped dock at 8538 Gardenier Lane with conditions to ensure at least 10 feet of side clearance for the L and an 8‑foot width; neighbors submitted emails supporting a narrowed L‑arm.
The Planning Board voted to approve a 62‑foot L‑shaped dock at 8538 Gardenier Lane, with conditions that the L‑arm maintain a minimum 10‑foot clearance from the east and west property lines and that the dock be 8 feet wide. The applicant, Anthony Elwood, explained the dock is intended to provide a safe swim area for his grandchildren and noted Army Corps review of the plan.
Board members discussed moving the dock slightly west, congestion concerns and seasonal ice impacts. The CEO provided two neighbor emails supporting the dock with a suggested reduction to the L‑arm width; one email read in the record, "I have no problem with Tony putting in a permanent dock," from Bob Mills. Another neighbor, Dennis Allis, wrote that he agreed to a reduction from 18 feet to 16 feet for the L‑arm. The board recorded the motion (moved by Chair Bruce Evener, seconded by Janine Fogarty) and approved the conditional plan; the case also was noted for referral to the Zoning Board as appropriate.
