STRONG'S Marine is PROPOSING
Building two over-sized boat storage buildings,
52,500 sq ft and 49,000 sq ft, that will each be 45’ tall
(set on a 10’ elevation) standing 18’ higher than
any other building on the Strong's Yacht Center property.
The project as planned will impact a 33-acre
wooded lot on Mattituck Inlet adjacent to Mill
Road Preserve, a 25-acre public woodlands.
As planned, the Strong's Marine project will:
• Cut down over 630 mature trees
• Haul away a hill of sand (134,000 cubic yards)
over narrow local roads, exacerbating
an already unsafe residential traffic issue
• Replace nearly four acres of a native forest
with warehouses for yacht storage
• Remove a natural feature that protects
against the effects of climate change
• Impact a significant coastal fish and wildlife habitat
Our Concerns
• Potential impacts of strip-mining the hillside and destroying the forest areas
• Surface water pollution
• Disruption of ground water, flooding, run-off, erosion
• Destruction of plant and animal ecosystems
• Diminishment of the aesthetic character of the
community
• Pedestrian safety during the months long excavation and construction
• Destruction of local roads by many oversized trucks
