Re: LWRP Coastal Consistency Review for WATERVIEW REVOCABLE TRUST
SCTM# 1000-21-2-11
Jeffrey Patanjo on behalf of WATERVIEW REVOCABLE TRUST requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal
Erosion Permit to install 120 linear feet of rock revetment consisting of boulders at a maximum of 2.5 tons per
lineal foot along existing bottom of bluff; importing 40 cubic yards of clean sand fill from upland sources and
re-vegetating disturbed bluff areas with Cape American beach grass plugs at 12" on center for entire
disturbed area; install non-treated 2"x12" terrace boards every 10' along bluff face in un-stabilized areas only;
and install and perpetually maintain a 10' wide non-turf buffer along the landward edge of the top of the bluff.
Located: 905 Aquaview Avenue, East Marion. SCTM# 1000-21-2-11
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of
Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The
proposed action is recommended as INCONSISTENT with Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality and
function of the Town of Southold's ecosystem of the LWRP.
A bank swallow colony was reported nesting (burrows) in the bluff. Bank swallows are federally
protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The action includes manipulating the bluff face and slope
and disturbing the soil. It does not meet the policy below in that a physical loss to the bank swallow
habitat would occur.
A. Avoid adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay ecosystems that would
result from impairment of ecological quality as indicated by.-
1. Physical loss of ecological components
Physical loss is often the most obvious natural resource impairment to identify. It
usually results from discrete actions, such as filling or excavating a wetland or
clearing an upland forest community prior to development.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written
determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
