PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Applicant has placed fill within 50 feet of the shoreline and is seeking approval
after the fact for such action. Placement of fill within 50 feet of the shoreline in a WR zone requires PB review
and approval.
Staff Comments: Although the property appears to be somewhat stable as evidenced during a site visit on July
3, 2012, additional slope stabilization is warranted due to the severity of the slopes on-site. The applicant
should use the New York Standards and Specification for Erosion and Sediment Control, specifically Section
5B, Permanent Structural Measures on all slopes in excess of 2 to 1. If the Planning Board requires additional
slope stabilization, the applicant may be required to develop a long term stabilization plan designed by a
licensed or certified professional. Engineering comments attached.
