Applicant proposes to redevelop a 32,623 square foot parcel containing an existing marina with a nine unit, residential condominium development. The work includes the removal of existing boat ramps, marine railways, boardwalks and other structures associated with the marina use, the construction of one building to contain seven units and a second building to contain two units. A paved access drive, site drainage system, 900 square feet of floating docks and two planted buffer areas are also included. As proposed, this project requires variance relief from the following development restrictions of 6 NYCRR Part 661.6 (Tidal Wetlands Land Use Regulations):             A. Principal building minimum 75 foot wetland setback requirement. The two proposed buildings will be within 13 feet and 17 feet of the wetland boundary. B. 75 foot minimum wetland setback requirement for hard surface driveways and parking areas. At the closest point, the proposed access drive will be ten feet from the wetland boundary. C. 20% maximum adjacent area coverage limit for impervious structures. Proposed adjacent area coverage is approximately 51%. D. Maximum allowable development density of two units per 20,000 square feet of lot area. With lot area of 32,623 square feet, the maximum number of units should be three. Nine units are proposed. The site is located on Bellmore Creek, at the south end of Public Highway in Bellmore. NCTM # 63-219-10.  

The applicant proposes to construct 141 feet of bulkhead and place 100 cubic yards of clean backfill.  A portion of the proposed bulkhead will be installed seaward of apparent high water and will result in the filling of tidal wetlands.  Construct a 12 foot by 23 foot boat ramp consisting of two 2.5 foot by 34 foot concrete strips, sand and pea gravel, and the ramp will have timber sidewalls.  Ten feet of the proposed ramp will be installed seaward of apparent high water and will result in the filling of tidal wetlands.  A 35.5 foot low sill bulkhead is proposed on the eastern portion of the shoreline and will run along the seaward edge of the proposed boat ramp.  Rocks are proposed to be placed along the shoreline landward of the low sill bulkhead and the area planted with Spartina alterniflora.  Additional plantings of shrubs and plants are proposed along the remainder of the shoreline.  A 4 foot by 20 foot float and two mooring piles having davits are proposed along the seaward face of the low sill bulkhead.  The project is located at 6 Night Heron Drive, Stony Brook, Brookhaven Town, SCTM #200-130-2-4.
