A.
The Town Board of Islip finds that rapid growth, the
spread of development and increasing demands upon natural resources
are encroaching upon, despoiling, polluting or eliminating many of
its watercourses, coastal wetlands, tidal marshes and other natural
resources and processes associated therewith which, if preserved and
maintained in an undisturbed and natural condition, constitute important
physical, social, aesthetic, recreational and economic assets to existing
a future residents of the Town.
B.
The Town Board of the Town of Islip finds that the
Connetquot River, from its headwaters to the Great South Bay, is a
unique recreational river area. The State of New York has designated
a portion of this river, from its headwaters to Sunrise Highway, a
recreational river, thereby ensuring the preservation and restoration
of its natural scenic preservation and restoration of its natural
scenic and recreational qualities. Although the State of New York
has not included that portion of the river south of Sunrise Highway
in its designation, the Town Board of the Town of Islip finds that
this portion possesses remarkable beauty, remains relatively unspoiled
by development and is an invaluable recreational facility. The preservation
and restoration of the natural scenic and recreational qualities of
this portion of the river is important. Upland and waterborne development
which materially affects the existing condition, use or appearance
of the river south of Sunrise Highway should only be permitted under
regulations that will prevent adverse effects upon its scenic and
recreational qualities.
[Added 2-7-89 by L.L. No. 1-1989]
It is the intent of the Town Board to protect
the citizens of the Town of Islip by providing for the protection,
preservation, proper maintenance and use of its watercourses, coastal
wetlands and tidal marshes in order to minimize their disturbance;
prevent damage from erosion, turbidity or siltation, salt water intrusion,
loss of fish, shellfish or other beneficial marine organisms, aquatic
wildlife and vegetation and the destruction of the natural habitat
thereof, the danger of flood and storm tide damage and pollution;
to otherwise protect the quality of watercourses, coastal wetlands,
tidal waters, marshes, shorelines, watersheds and water recharge areas,
underground water reserves, beaches and natural drainage systems for
their conservation, economic, aesthetic, recreational and other public
uses and values; and further to protect the Town's potable fresh water
supplies from the dangers of drought, overdraft, pollution and misuse
or mismanagement. Therefore, the Town Board declares that regulation
of the watercourses, coastal wetlands and tidal marshes of Islip Town
is essential to the health, safety, economic and general welfare of
the people of Islip Town, and for their interest.
