As part of my review of the Town's LWRP Consistency Form Section C, I offer the following comments regarding the Local Waterfront Revitalization Policies and this proposed project: Policy 1. I believe that this project is consistent with this policy because the project will not result in a negative impact upon the desired development pattern of the Town of South old nor shall it result in the loss of the community and landscape pattern of the Town of South old. Policy 2. I believe that this project is consistent with this policy because the project shall not have any impacts upon the preservation and retention of historic resources, or any archeological resources nor the Coastal Culture of the Long Island Sound. Policy 3. I do not believe that this policy is applicable to the project since the project will not have an impact on any scenic resource of the Town of Southold. Policy 4. I feel that the project is consistent with this policy for a number of reasons. The proposed single family dwelling, sanitary system, porch, walk and parking area project has been based upon sound engineering practices and designed to the minimum scale necessary. The project shall have no adverse impacts upon adjacent properties or to natural coastal processes or natural resources. The project shall have no impact on any natural Phone (631) 653-0607' Fax (631) 653-3348 121 Jessup Ave · 2nd Floor · P.O. Box 447 Quogue. New York 11959-0447 protective features nor shall it have any impacts upon public lands or lands in public trust. Lastly, the project does not involve the management of a navigational infrastructure nor are public funds involved with the project. Policy 5. I feel that the proposed project is consistent with this policy for a number of reasons. The project does not involve any direct or indirect discharges that would cause any negative impacts upon water quality standards. There shall be no increase or decrease in the pH, the dissolved oxygen or nutrients in the waterway and there should be no increase in noxious odors at the project site. There shall be no increase in negative health impacts such as pathogens, chemical contaminants or toxicity nor shall there be any negative aesthetic factors involved with the project. As part of the project a continuous line of staked hay bales and filter fabric shall be installed "seaward" of the limit of construction prior to the commencement of construction activities and maintained throughout the period of construction activities. The project does not involve watershed development or the quantity or quality of potable water. Policy 6. I feel that the project is consistent with this policy. The project as proposed shall have no impact upon the ecological quality in the Town of Southold. There shall be no negative impacts upon the adjacent area of freshwater by the destruction of habitat or significant impairment to the tolerance range of any species of fish or wildlife. As stated in the previous section the applicant shall also create a non-disturbed buffer area of native vegetation. This will create an additional buffer to the adjacent wetlands that does not currently exist. The project should have no impact upon any vulnerable fish, wildlife, plant species or rare ecological communities. Policy 7. I do not feel that this policy is applicable to this project since the project does not involve any atmospheric deposition of pollutants. Policy 8. I believe that the project is consistent with this policy. The project shall involve the disposal of solid waste, debris from the demolished dwelling, which shall be removed from the project site as part of the project. There are no hazardous waste or toxic pollutants involved with the project. Policy 9. I do not feel that this policy is applicable to this project. The proposed project shall have no impact upon adequate physical public access to coastal resources, shall not impact any public visual access to any lands or waters, involve the public interest in and use of lands and waters held in public trust or to public access of such areas. Policy 10. I feel that the project is consistent with this policy. The project shall have no impacts upon any existing water-dependent uses of the site nor is the project located on Mattituck Creek/Inlet, Mill Creek or within the Village of Greenport and does not involve water-dependent uses at those sites. Policy 11. I feel that the project is consistent with this policy. The project does not involve aquaculture or the removal of shellfish from uncertified waters of the Town of South old nor shall it have a negative impact upon the long-term maintenance and health ofliving resources. Policy 12. I do not feel that this policy is applicable to the project because no agricultural lands are involved. Policy 13. I do not feel that this policy is applicable to the project since the project does not involve energy or mineral resources. Town of Southold LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM A. INSTRUCTIONS 1.
