Our attempt to reach a compromise with Mr. Naik went nowhere. Our goal was to end up with a basic dock, like almost everybody else has, with a boat that is appropriate for the shallow water and the presence of underwater vegetation. We were hoping that he would alter his plan for a huge dock capable of berthing a sport fisherman and 50' houseboat. Unfortunately, he wouldn't budge. Period. It appears that he is still intent on pushing forward with his misguided plan to build a giant vanity dock despite the effect on the immediate ecosystem and wildlife. The only thing that has stopped him is that DEEP has an outstanding Enforcement Action against him for violating CT Wetlands law. Under CT laws and regulations, environmental criminals cannot apply for a dock permit while actions until enforcement actions are concluded.

What is his dream? Based on the submitted proposal and dock design experts we believe he is planning:
- Elevated dock with rails and lighting
- Houseboat/entertainment center 50' long
- Sport Fisherman 40' long
- Lifts for one or more Jet skis

This is a guess at what is coming 

Where is the house??? It doesn't exist and probably cannot even be built! It is a lot surrounded by wetlands and used by migratory birds.  He doesn't live on this property, he lives on a hill behind it.

And here is what he is doing to a once beautiful pristine forest abutting wetlands and estuaries.  For conservation minded residents, this is what disregarding the environment and exploiting legal loopholes looks like.
