AWC Dockside project - additional dockage

The landowner just north of the Old Mill proposes adding 10 dock slips, perpendicular to the existing commercial dock/bulkhead.  This would involve cutting the existing bulkhead back landward.  

This proposed action has been deemed INCONSISTENT with the LWRP.

Refer to the "Files" section for more information on the project.  

Note this same owner and location is proposing a small motel complex, which was disapproved by the Town of Southold.  

 Before Sept 5th's meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board, the planning staff sent a letter to Strong's Marine informing them that their revised site plan was incomplete. At the public meeting, the Board said it would not evaluate the plan until the application was complete.

We will post an update here when the next agenda contains the project.  The latest timeline of events is below:
 

On June 20, 2024, the Suffolk County Planning Commission disapproved the proposal.  

On July 8, 2024, Southold Town Planning Department posted memo showing that the proposal is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP (link below)

On July 23, 2024, the Planning Board made available the revised plan which still calls for excavation of 70,000 cu yards of sand and one massive building at 65,100 sq ft.  

On February 7, 2025, the Southold Town Building Department posted a Notice of Disapproval.

You can see the revised plan in our Files section.

You can find the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on the Town website or in our "Files" section (link below)

The document clearly takes seriously the concerns that our community has expressed.
