The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The applicant below has certified that proposed activities comply with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program (NYSCMP). The applicant’s consistency certification and accompanying public information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, in Albany, New York.

In F-2017-0754, “Kennedy Pier Reconstruction”, the applicant –The Breezy Point Cooperative (Breezy Point Co-op. or BPC) – proposes to reconstruct, in-place, the Kennedy Pier located on the western end of the north shore of Rockaway Point, NY – approximately - North of 406 Bayside, Rockaway Point, County of Queens, NY, at the Rockaway Inlet.

According to the information submitted to the Department of State:

This pier “provides fishing and viewing to the Breezy Point Community” and “the pier sustained damage during Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Action is now required to make repairs and to institute various measures designed to minimize the potential for similar damage to occur in the future.”

The applicant proposes to:

• Remove in its entirety the existing fixed pier configuration consisting of 1) an approximately 18’ x 26’ concrete platform located at the landward end of a fixed pier; 2) a pile supported fixed pier (8’ x 338’) with (10) ten batter piles waterward of mean high water; 3) a 24’ x 42’ pier head with a 146 square feet angled access platform; and (2) two four-pile dolphins.

• Install 1) an 8’ x 372’ fixed pier, including a 110 square foot trapezoidal shaped access section at the waterward end, with (24) twenty four twelve-inch (12”) diameter batter piles (wrapped in 0.30” thick PVC) installed waterward of mean high water; 2) a 24’-8” x 42’ pier head; 3) an approximately 8’ x 24’ pile supported concrete ramp located at the landward end of the fixed pier above; and 4) install (2) two seven pile dolphins.

The proposed pile supported concrete ramp and pier configuration will encompass an area of approximately 4,226 square feet, approximately 2,234 square feet of which is waterward of mean high water; The new proposed pier head will have a higher top elevation varying between 6.0’ NAVD88 and 8.0’ NAVD88 (as compared to the present elevation constant at 6.0’ NAVD88) to protect the structure from damage from storm surge and wind driven waves.

The purpose of the proposed pier reconstruction and modifications is to restore the previous level of safety and recreational functionality of the existing pier, and to reduce susceptibility of the pier to damage from ice flows and elevated water levels associated with storms. The purpose of the proposed concrete ramp is to continue to allow and improve the ability of emergency response vehicles to directly access the pier in the event of an emergency.

This project involves utilizing proposed federal financial assistance through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The above-referenced project is located within the New York City Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP) planning area and proposed activities are subject to evaluation under the policies and purposes of the federally approved program.
