Historic Tree Honored in Lloyd Harbor

An Asian sycamore has stood for decades.

Sally Campbell seemed a little shy as she sat in the front row of the Lloyd Harbor Board of Trustees meeting Monday evening. She was representing a friend who couldn't make the meeting. In fact, this friend will probably never attend a meeting. Campbell was there on behalf of the giant Asian sycamore tree that has grown in her backyard for over 60 years as it was honored by the trustees as well as Dorothea Cappadona, the chair of the Lloyd Harbor Conservation Board. "We're just delighted people in the village recognize the importance of trees," Cappadona said to the board before the simple presentation began. Cappadona and Lloyd Harbor Mayor Leland Hairr presented Campbell with a plaque and called her the "steward of the tree." A photo and…

Lloyd Harbor Conservation Board Examines Noise Pollution

After seeing limits on outdoor lights passed, the board is hoping to quiet lawn mowers and leaf blowers.

Last month, the Lloyd Harbor Board of Trustees approved new legislation limiting light pollution from outdoor fixtures. It was a victory the Lloyd Harbor Conservation Board say they had been waiting for and working on for years. Now, fresh from success, they have their sights on a new proposal: limits on noise pollution. In a small but jubilant meeting Monday night, the conservation board celebrated and discussed their plans to propose new restrictions on lawnmowers and yard workers to the town Board of Trustees and how to best raise support for the measure. "For me, it's a kind of environmental pollution," said board member Maria Teresa Quirk. The four board members at the meeting agreed that reducing the sounds from yard working …

Dinghy-Dock Decision to Come At Next Hearing

The Lloyd Harbor Board of Zoning Appeals has not reached decision on John DeNatale's proposed dock.

Frustrated Lloyd Harbor resident John DeNatale is stuck between a dock and a hard place. He appeared before the Lloyd Harbor Board of Zoning Appeals at its May meeting to build a longer than allowed dock off his property. He said he wants to use the dock to moor a dinghy, which he would use to get out to his 25-foot boat anchored in the harbor. DeNatale and Charles Bowman, president of Land Use Ecological Services, told the board that they could not comply with village code on the length of the dock because it would then violate New York State Department of Environmental Conservation edicts on the depth of water near docks. In 1992, the village created two Coastal Overlay Zoning Districts following an increase in waterfront development. …

Bluff Repair and New Construction in Lloyd Harbor

Lloyd Harbor Permit Review Board quickly granted approvals at its monthly meeting Monday evening.

The storms that battered Long Island and wiped out whole shorelines this past winter hit close to home for Lloyd Harbor resident John DeNatale, who saw the bluff on his Seacrest Drive property begin to wither away in the face of the Nor'easters.   The Lloyd Harbor Site and Building Permit Review Board quickly approved repairs to his eroded bluff and also the construction of a new home on Bouton Road at its monthly meeting Monday evening. Charles Bowman, an engineer speaking on behalf of the DeNatales, said the repairs would include removing the existing retaining wall and replacing it with a new wall higher on the bluff. The bluff would also be re-seeded. "The whole point of this is to stabilize the situation," Bowman said. DeNatale added …

Lloyd Harbor Embraces the Dark

Village approves anti-light pollution legislation and ponders limiting the number of animals homeowners can keep.

Lloyd Harbor stargazers rejoice. The village Board of Trustees passed a new law to prevent light pollution and disruptive outdoor lights at their most recent meeting Monday night. After the unanimous vote, Village Trustee Leland Deane slumped back in his chair as other board members patted him on the back. Deane had worked on a light pollution proposal for years before he was elected to the board. "We are the pocket of darkness" for stargazers, Deane said before the vote. The new law would help protect one of the darkest night skies east of the Hamptons, he added. The board saw a presentation in January by Susan Harder of the Long Island-based Dark Sky Society, a public advocacy group. She said bad lighting causes a host of problems …
