The visual impact on the SSC winter facilities needs to be addressed by the planting of evergreen plant materials so that the parking area is screened. We will incorporate this into the final planting plan. Currently AYC allows SSC to launch and retrieve their docks through a gate and onto the beach that is part of the proposed park. In order to allow this activity to continue, AYC would be willing to grant SSC an easement prior to the transfer. Security to the SSC docks can be enhanced by the addition of fencing along the north property line.
Environmental concerns seem to be focused on maintenance rather than construction.
Garbage will be picked up by whichever municipality maintains the park. It should be pointed out that the majority of the mess at the Town of Rye pier is a result of nighttime use, which will not occur in the new park if it is closed at dusk. It should also be noted that AYC uses the right of way in front of the Gibbon's Property adjacent to the pier's parking to locate materials to be recycled by the City. This would remain by the AYC gate. Security has been addressed by closing the park at dusk.
