Larry,

Someone was been pulling your leg with that 'information'. Staten Island most
certainly does not have a mean height of 4' above MSL.

Take a look at the topo charts that are online on MapTech (see:
http://tinyurl.com/n9p2x), and you will see that very few areas of the island
are lower than 20', and the average height of Staten Island is very considerably
higher than that.
