Question of the Day: What Do You Think About Extending the Dock?
A 149-foot dock, which received approval for an extension in June, could stay its current size if a lawsuit proves successful.
The Concerned Citizens of Montauk, a civic organization, announced this past week that it is to extend a 149-foot dock in Lake Montauk by another 15 feet.
The lawsuit alleges that an environmental review should have taken place before coming to a conclusion on the dock, which is the longest residential dock on the lake.
The defendant's lawyer says a longer dock is needed because during low tide, it's difficult to maneuver boats up to the dock due to shallow water.
