An application to install AT&T antennas and ancillary equipment on the ground and an oil tank at P.C. Schenck and Sons continues to draw skepticism from the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals.

       “You’re saying there are so many things going on here, plus you have an oil tank very near the village, which doesn’t make people very happy, and now you want to put something more,” Larry Hillel, a zoning member, said at a board meeting on Friday. “Maybe there’s too much. . . . It raises the question, is this the straw that breaks the camel’s back?”

       Adjacent neighbors on Barns Lane, and a representative of the commercial building at 66 Newtown Lane, have voiced opposition to the proposed installation, fearing noise generated by the equipment cabinets’ cooling fans. Concern about the antennas’ radio frequency emissions was also voiced, but the board’s consulting engineer, Drew Bennett, reported that such emissions represent a small fraction of allowable exposure.

       The site of a proposed 32-by-21-foot concrete slab on which six equipment cabinets would be installed is 33 feet from the nearest adjacent property line, at 19 Barns Lane, and approximately 60 feet from the house there.

       In previous testimony, John Huber, an attorney representing the applicant, and Mike Patel, a consultant for AT&T, told the board that the ambient sound level, measured when the Schenck fuel trucks were idle, was 44 decibels. A worst-case scenario, in which all of the cooling fans would be operating, would produce 65 decibels at a distance of five feet from the cabinets, 54 decibels at the property line, and 52 decibels at the house.

       The board asked Mr. Huber to seek alternative sites for the ground-based equipment, as well as a proposal for minimizing the additional noise, and on his third visit to the board on Friday, Mr. Huber said that the proposed location of the cabinets was the only possible site on the property.

       Mr. Patel described a sound barrier that he said would mitigate the fans’ noise and achieve the 44-decibel ambient background noise level at the house at 19 Barns Lane. “There will be no difference in noise level to anyone in the surrounding area,” he said.

       Two freestanding walls, eight feet tall and running the length of the concrete pad, would be situated four feet from the cabinets, Mr. Patel said. Sound absorbers, which he said would look like quilted mattresses, would hang from these walls and on two walls of existing structures. “It will be hung on a heavy-duty, structural steel framework that’s galvanized, designed to stay outside,” he told the board. “It’s a framework like a shower curtain . . . hung from the top and framed on all sides as well.”

       The idea, Mr. Patel said, “was to make sure there is no difference” between the ambient noise level at adjacent properties with or without the equipment cabinets. “You will not feel or hear any difference if the fan is running or not running,” he said.

       Frank Newbold, the board’s chairman, pointed out that the applicant will also need approval from the design review board, which requires a minimum of 20 feet of landscaping between commercial and residential properties. “In your calculations, are you including what the effects of that 20 feet of additional landscaping would be?” he asked.

       Mr. Patel said he was not, and that the addition of vegetation would further reduce noise levels.

       The existing vegetation is bamboo. “Sometimes, it’s onerous,” Mr. Huber said, but “in this situation I think it actually helps, because it’s a maintenance-free form of vegetation.” The area is difficult to access and receives little sunlight due to the fuel tank, he said, and suggested that it be left alone.

       Lysbeth Marigold, a board member, pressed Mr. Huber and Mr. Patel on the proposed location, referring to the previous installation of antennas in the steeple of the East Hampton Presbyterian Church. There, additional equipment was situated in the church’s basement. “I’m sure the Presbyterian church basement was problematic too, at one point,” she said. “They probably had to move . . . hymnals and things out of the way. You tend to fill storage spaces, but if you really want something, you can find the space.”

       Mr. Newbold asked the men to provide a measured drawing and said that the board would seek independent verification of Mr. Patel’s testimony from Mr. Bennett. The hearing was adjourned to the board’s next meeting on March 14.

       In other news from the meeting, the board granted variances for the property owner at 174 Further Lane to build a new house designed by the architect Annabelle Selldorf as well as accessory structures, but officially denied the applicant’s request to allow a squash court in a new detached garage, a plan the applicant had already abandoned.

     While fund-raising efforts continue online for Robbie Badkin, a Lazy Point resident and well-known Montauk welder who has been hospitalized since New Year's, his family and friends are also planning a renovation project at his house in early March, and a fund-raiser is slated for the end of that month.

     Mr. Badkin, 51, developed a severe blood infection that caused him to have trouble breathing on Jan. 2. He was put in an induced coma and placed on a ventilator for two weeks. While he regains his strength at the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Southampton, his friends are fixing up his house in anticipation of his return to Napeague.

     Volunteers will descend on Mr. Badkin's house the week of March 10. Friends of Mr. Badkin's, including George Gallaway, the owner of the Sail Inn in Montauk, and Joseph Bloecker, a contractor, met with Mr. Badkin's nephew, David Elze, on Sunday night to organize. A sign-up sheet is available at the Sail Inn or 668-2800 can be called to volunteer. 

     "We're willing to help," Mr. Bloecker said on Monday, adding that he has known Mr. Badkin for 30 years. "He's just an all-around good guy. He doesn't have a bad bone in his body."

     Mr. Elze said he has an electrician on board and that he has reached out to some plumbers to donate their time. There are plenty of other tasks to do. "We are looking for anybody who's got any carpenter experience, Spacklers, painters, people who can do finish work -- not just anybody can do a good job," he said.

     Mold remediation work has already begun.

     Mr. Badkin, who lost 70 pounds and suffers from muscle atrophy, is doing well in his rehabilitation, but his house may need to be made wheelchair-accessible.

     "He's getting stronger every day," Mr. Elze said. Doctors estimate he will be able to go home in about four weeks. His application for Medicaid has to go through before the rehabilitation center will release him, according to Mr. Elze.

     Mr. Elze has spearheaded fund-raising efforts. Through a GoFundMe campaign, 170 donors have given more than $16,000 in all.

     A fund-raiser will be held on March 30 at Inlet Seafood restaurant in Montauk. Sushi and appetizers will be served from 4 to 8 p.m. The cost to eat is $30 at the door. There will also be an art auction and raffles with items donated from local businesses, such as a stay at the Montauk Beach House. There will be no charge for those who just want to attend the auction. 

       After three years reviewing an application to expand the Harbor Heights gas station on Route 114, the Sag Harbor Village Zoning Board of Appeals last week denied the majority of the variances that John Leonard had asked for to expand the gas station and establish a convenience store.

       The Z.B.A. issued its final determination on Feb. 18, shooting down variances for a 718-square-foot convenience store — the maximum under the code for the display of goods for retail sale in an accessory convenience store is 600 square feet — the addition of gas pumps, and landscaping along neighboring properties. Those alterations would amount to an undesirable change to the character of the neighborhood, the board said.

       “In creating this special exception use, the village trustees were clearly concerned about the impact it might have on residential neighbors,” the board said in its determination. However, the board called the 600-square-foot limitation “an arbitrary figure.”

       The zoning board granted relief from the 50-foot front yard setback under the village code, which will allow Mr. Leonard’s corporation, Petroleum Ventures, to put a convenience store in the existing building, which is 15.6 feet from the road.

       “The board finds that locating the proposed accessory convenience store within the existing structure will not create an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood,” the determination states. Harbor Heights is a pre-existing, nonconforming property in a residential district on a 43,375-square-foot lot. Board members said the request for the 34.4-foot variance is not “a self-created hardship,” as the gas station has been in existence for more than 60 years.

       Dennis Downes, Mr. Leonard’s attorney, said Tuesday he has 30 days to file an appeal. “I’m waiting for the client to digest the decision and see what he wants to do,” Mr. Downes said.

       Mr. Leonard has already substantially scaled back the proposal to redevelop the gas station and auto repair shop on the premises, in part because of strong opposition to the project.

The Peconic Estuary Program has invited the public to an informative workshop on March 8, at Suffolk County Community College in Riverhead, about protecting and restoring the Peconic waterways. Community members will learn about water quality projects, beach cleaning, native plants, and removing invasive species. There is no charge to attend the 9 a.m. to noon session, but registration in advance has been asked. Questions can be directed to [email protected] or 765-6450.

The workshop will be followed by a field trip at approximately 12:30 p.m. to Grangebel Park in Riverhead for those who would like to learn how to be volunteer waterway monitors. Participants will learn how to count alewives during the spawning runs and report their data to the estuary program. Julie Nace of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation can be phoned at 444-0871 for details.

       Friday’s meeting of the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals was notable mostly for its brevity. Five of seven scheduled hearings were adjourned, and the board’s remaining business was covered in about 30 minutes, a sharp contrast to the crowded agendas and hours-long deliberations that have characterized recent meetings.

       A hearing held open at the board’s Jan. 24 meeting, on an application for 174 Further Lane proposing to construct a 3,600 square-foot accessory structure that was labeled a garage, was resumed Friday.

       The anonymous applicant, who also controls limited liability corporations that own 176 Further Lane and 29 Spaeth Lane, also plans to build a house on the property, designed by the architect Annabelle Selldorf. The house would occupy about half the 3.5-acre lot’s allowable gross floor area. The applicant also seeks variances for side-yard setbacks and to raise the height of an existing fence, within a dune setback, from four to six feet, with another two feet of wire added to deter deer.

       A garage is the only accessory structure permitted by code to be larger than 250 square feet. The one proposed at 174 Further Lane would have housed, in addition to three cars, a squash court, a pool house, an unenclosed walk-through corridor, and multiple storage areas. The board had been skeptical, telling the applicant’s attorney, Jonathan Tarbet, that a 120-by-30-foot garage, while not specifically prohibited, was clearly not in the spirit of the code.

       Frank Newbold, the board’s chairman, asked Mr. Tarbet at the board’s Jan. 24 meeting to revisit the plans and try to reduce the size of the structure.

       On Friday, Mr. Tarbet said that the plan to install a squash court in the basement had been abandoned. Without the squash court, and with that part of the garage to be used for storage instead, the structure conforms to code, he said.

       “So it would be a very large storage area,” Mr. Newbold said. Nevertheless, “I think we do need revised plans.” The building department should have a chance to review the plans, he said, noting that a neighbor had written to the board asking the same. “Before we make any move we need to have accurately in front of what us what you want to do,” said Mr. Newbold.

       He asked Mr. Tarbet to submit revised plans for the garage as soon as practical, adding that a determination would likely come at the board’s next meeting, on Feb. 28.

      Although plans for a deer cull in East Hampton Town and Village were effectively abandoned at the end of last month, it was not until Friday that the village board formally rescinded the resolution it had adopted in December authorizing participation in the program.

       The planned cull, which was promoted by the Long Island Farm Bureau with the assistance of the Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services Division, drew furious opposition and a well-attended protest in the village on Jan. 18. East Hampton Town officials called off its participation on Jan. 31, saying it was not possible to complete an environmental impact statement in time for a late-winter cull.

       Some of the plan’s most vocal opponents were on hand Friday to praise Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. and the board. “I know that anytime a public official has to alter a position, whatever the reasons, it takes a degree of mature flexibility,” Bill Crain, president of the East Hampton Group for Wildlife, told the board. He asked that the board, in its future deliberations about deer, “be as thoughtful, get as much data, and be as empathetic and compassionate as possible.”

       Ron Delsener, a concert promoter and animal-rights activist who has a house in East Hampton, thanked the board for rescinding the resolution. “It took a lot of courage,” he said. Mr. Delsener offered the board materials he had compiled, including studies of immunocontraception implemented on Fire Island and on Fripp Island in South Carolina. “It’s pretty darn easy, and it’s a win for everybody,” he said of the programs.

       Mayor Rickenbach told Mr. Crain and Mr. Delsener that they and “others who are certainly sensitive to this and very interested in this dilemma” would be included in any future consideration of a lethal way to reduce the deer population. But, he warned, “The problem hasn’t gone away,” and reiterated previous statements calling deer “a public health situation” and “public nuisance.”

       Kathleen Cunningham, speaking on behalf of the Village Preservation Society, agreed with Mr. Delsener that the board now had an opportunity for to pursue a sterilization program. “The sterilization program is one hour out of the animal’s life,” she said. “You handle them once, done. Ten years, they live out their natural lives, no booster shots are required.”

       In other action, the board put public hearings on two proposed laws on the agenda of its March 21 meeting. If adopted, the laws would tighten restrictions on construction and the commercial use of gas and diesel-powered landscaping equipment, as well as on parking in the Reutershan, Barns/Schenck, and Chase Bank parking lots. The board had debated both proposals at its Feb. 6 work session.

       Having fielded complaints about noise and pollution from gas-powered leaf blowers and hedge trimmers, several board members had offered their own criticism at that meeting. While in favor of greater restrictions, though, Richard Lawler, one of the trustees, expressed concern that a ban on gas-powered equipment might have the unintended consequence of putting small landscapers out of business.

       The board reached a consensus at the work session, proposing that commercial use be allowed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays from May 1 through Nov. 30. The law now allows commercial equipment to be used between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays from May 1 through Nov. 30.

       The parking lots in question now restrict parking to two hours between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. from May 1 though Nov. 30. Initial proposals to lengthen the time the restriction would be in effect from March or April through December have now given way to a two-hour limit year round.

       A dog almost met its demise after about 45 minutes in the icy waters off Noyac on Saturday afternoon, but thanks to the Sag Harbor Fire Department he lived to bark another day.

       While nearby Sag Harbor Village was bustling with activity during HarborFrost, scores of firefighters, divers, and emergency medical service personnel descended on Noyac Bay. Onlookers, who had gone to the bay to take photos, called 911 after hearing a dog yelping and then spotting it trying to stay afloat about 150 feet or so out, where there was a break in the ice.

       At 3:24 p.m. Sag Harbor firefighters arrived at the beach, off Bay View Drive near Fox Crossing, in the West Banks development — diagonal to Long Beach — with their dive team and rescue squad. The Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps stood by, warming the ambulance for the animal, later identified as Morgan, a 7-year-old golden retriever-shepherd mix that had run off earlier that day.

       The divers, who train in ice rescues and had just had a drill the week before, donned Ice Commander suits to insulate themselves from the freezing temperatures and deployed a 12-foot aluminum boat. They had a tough time getting through the mix of thick and thin parts of the ice, according to First Assistant Chief James Frazier. “It wasn’t hard enough to stand on, and it wasn’t soft enough to paddle through,” he said.

       The crew chief, Rich Simmons, went into the water to help move chunks of ice and make way for the boat.

       “You feel helpless. The dog was crying. It took us about 15 minutes to get to him,” said Mr. Frazier.

       Mr. Simmons, swam for the last 40 feet or so, unable to touch bottom. By that time, Morgan, who had been clinging to the ice by his front paws, had stopped barking. Mr. Simmons grabbed him from behind and handed him over to Scott Fordham and Alex Smith in the boat. Morgan put up no resistance.

       Connected to a tended line, firefighters on shore pulled the boat onto the beach. Rescuers wrapped the soaking wet, terrified dog in blankets and tried to warm him up in the ambulance.

       “It was a real good group effort,” said Eddie Downes, the president of the ambulance corps, who watched the rescue unfold.

       Southampton Town Animal Control took Morgan to the East End Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center in Riverhead, where he was treated for severe hypothermia, according to Dr. Gao Vatash, the president of the 24-hour emergency animal hospital.

       “He was in pretty bad shape,” Dr. Vatash said, describing the dog’s condition as life-threatening. Morgan had a slowed heart rate and a temperature below 90 degrees — dog’s temperatures range from 100.5 to 102.5 degrees, Dr. Vatash said. The animal had “petechiation,” pinpoint-sized bruising beneath the skin, a clinical sign of hypothermia, and his platelet count was depleted, the doctor said.

       Veterinarians treated him with canine plasma and rewarmed him. Morgan perked up as his heart rate and temperature increased. “He recovered great,” Dr. Vatash said. He was released on Sunday to his owners, whom Dr. Vatash declined to identify. The hospital was able to find the owners quickly thanks to a microchip implant.

       Mr. Frazier said the owners, North Haven residents, left a message at the fire department, and he returned their call yesterday. “They are extremely appreciative,” he said, adding that both their dogs had run off after getting out of a car in their driveway. One returned two hours later, but Morgan was a no-show.

       “I’m just glad this had a positive ending,” said Mr. Frazier.

       This was the second time in two weeks that the Sag Harbor Fire Department was called out to rescue a dog. On Jan. 31, a dog fell through the ice on Circle Beach. Some divers and firefighters who live nearby were able to coax it, with the help of the owner, back to shore before the trucks arrived.

       The figures are both impressive and disheartening. Twenty-and-one-half miles of shoreline and 84 volunteers in the former category. In the latter, 3,510 pounds of mixed debris collected and removed.

       After harsh weather conditions twice postponed Shoreline Sweep 2014, volunteers took advantage of Saturday’s bright sunshine and mild temperatures to clean the ocean coastline between Georgica Beach in East Hampton and Montauk Point.

       Dell Cullum, a nature photographer and principal organizer of the cleanup, pronounced the effort an unqualified success. Forty-seven bags and three truckloads of garbage were removed from the beach, he said. One-and-one-half truckloads of burned wood, and 65 pounds of dog feces, were among the items soiling the beaches.

      “It was surprising to hear that Group 5 [Montauk Point to Kirk Park Beach] said the stuff they removed the most by weight was commercial fishing gear,” Mr. Cullum said. But, he added, most of the refuse “seemed to be the same with all groups: plastic bags and balloons, Mylar and rubber, and lots and lots of ribbon.”

       Deborah Klughers, an East Hampton Town trustee and chairwoman of the town’s litter committee, said that some areas were more littered than others. On one stretch of beach on Montauk, she reported, were “cases of beer left everywhere.”

       “It’s really disturbing to think someone could have that little respect for their environment,” Ms. Klughers said, lamenting “the throwaway society we’ve become.” But, she added, “It’s not all that people are littering and there’s stuff flying out of trash cans. Much [of the debris] is coming out of the sea.”

       Mr. Cullum’s group removed 440 pounds of trash between Napeague Lane in Amagansett and the campground at Hither Hills State Park, at the west end of Montauk. “And that’s a desolate area,” Mr. Cullum said. “The summer motels are all closed.”

       Brian Byrnes, a recently elected trustee and the superintendent for the Windmill I, Windmill II, and St. Michael’s affordable senior citizens housing developments, participated with his son, who is 8. “We just had a great time,” he said of the participating trustees, also including Nat Miller and Sean McCaffrey, who provided a pickup truck for refuse removal. “The beach looks awesome. It was really a feel-good project, and I was happy to see all the school kids involved. Kudos to Dell and Debbie and everybody else.”

       Volunteers gathered at Hoie Hall at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton after the cleanup. There, they enjoyed donated food and musical entertainment provided by Job Potter, Klyph Black, Lynn Blumenthal, Katherine C.H.E., Chuck Finch, Walter Noller, “Wolfman” Colvin Cumberbatch, and Victoria Firemark.

       Mr. Cullum said that participants have earned the authority to politely chastise those littering the beach. “Now we have the right to say, ‘Excuse me, could you please pick up that dog poop, because me and 83 other people spent a Saturday’ ” cleaning the beach. “We put our sweat and our time into it.”

       He said a short film documenting the effort would be broadcast on LTV and online. The message, he said, is that “something was done, things are being arrowed in the right direction, and start getting used to it. We’ll see if it works.”

       The East Hampton School District will begin offering continuing education courses in a range of subjects from Pilates, to drawing, to technology, bridge, and even sewing in early March.

       Unlike in the past, when a district coordinator handled registration and payments, registration is now handled directly by individual instructors, and advance payment and registration are required. Most classes begin the week of March 3 and will be offered at the high school, unless otherwise specified. Although some classes are not set to start for several weeks, advance registration and payment is a must because courses will not run without sufficient enrollment.

       Refunds will be offered if a course is canceled, but will not be given once classes commence.

      About half the 3,000 nonresident parking permits for East Hampton Village beaches — which cost $375 for the season — had been sold as of yesterday, about two weeks since Feb. 3, when they went on sale. Permits, which are free for village residents, are available on a first-come-first-served basis for nonresidents. They must be displayed on vehicles that park at Georgica, Main, Wiborg, Egypt, and Two Mile Hollow Beaches between May 15 and Sept. 15.

     Nonresident permits can be purchased between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at Village Hall, by mail (attention Sue Dayton), or online at easthampton.permits.basgov.com. Starting Memorial Day and on weekends through June, and daily thereafter, remaining permits will be sold between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Main Beach office.

       To obtain a permit, residents and nonresidents alike must provide a valid vehicle registration, a telephone number,and a self-addressed stamped envelope if applying by mail.
