COMPUTATION OF PERMIT FEES: TOTAL FEES DUE: $ S-o '8' BY: James F. King, President Board of Trustees . . Hello all, After diving the proposed Robert Meyer Pier Reconstruction site I have the following observations to report: The two existing piles on the west side are at the edge of a meadow that has recently suffered a major defoliation; cause unknown. There appears to be wasting disease throughout the plants in this area, but the type and extent of bleaching and defoliation has not been observed previously. It looks as if whatever meadow existed between the dock and these piles was lost some tome ago to physical disturbance of some type given the apparent change in sediment texture and elevation. Seedlings were observed in the denuded area, adjacent to a west of the piles so there is hope that this grass will return here given time. With regard to the proposed new pile off the north end of the dock there is a healthy patch at this location. On the east side of the dock where two new piles and boulder relocation are proposed I observed the following: Healthy grass is immediately adjacent to or at the site of both the northern and southern pile locations. There is also a significant patch adjacent to the existing boulders within the proposed boat slip. See the attached photos to get a better feel for what is out there. Please note that I based my measurements on the plans provided (Docko 2/4/08) and using the spacing (from the dock) of the existing piles (west side) as an indication of how far away from the dock the new piles (east side) would be. This distance was measured as 17ft. Also note that the tape was attached to the piles of the dock and pulled outward in such a way that the "zero point" was at the 2ft mark so all measurements seen in the pictures are 2ft higher than the actual measurements. If you have any questions or need additional clarification or pictures please contact me. Chris Pickerell ij,~ ~ ~~!~~ w:: 11':' \~ L'SO\:ti.,-;\ctic;;n Beare. 01 lrus~_eI?S r- . .

What are the WRP concerns? The picture of existing conditions depicts a smaller vessel and raises a question in my mind: is the drawn presence of eelgrass a result of minmal usage of the existing dock (eg only one set of tie off poles closer to the dock and boulders on the drawing on the opposite side of the dock. In addition to supporting the WRP concerns we are considering whether light pass-through planking and/or a design minimizing the number of newreplacement piles would be helpful in minimizing impact to eelgrass and the potential for improving conditions for the return of eelgrass. The Town's Code (Chapter 275: Wetlands and Shoreline) in 275-11 C (2)a 10calls for full review of nonconforming structures and c (1) f only allows pole to secure one vessel and h limits width to 4'. Thus this proposal, though in-place appears subject to Town review for excessive tie off poles, width, and eelgrass impact. Thanks. You can call me direct at 518 473 2470 to discuss. 5/27/2008 ""5 r6 --...z CD " ~. . l:' , .::~ ,,~,-.-::':":_i-: ~.r..:. ____._-......:..." ~'-~-'1""-" "\~O{-'~'_-';"'"\-~t"":.a: _.~_~#~."'~ ~ ~ .'~:.~-.:.~ . /. .:::~. ~ . ....-:;);;~;.;\~,.. . .~-~.

FIS RS ISLAND SOUND, FISHERS ISLAND NARRATIVE STATEMENT & SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION JANUARY 2, 2008 GENERAL Mr. Robert Meyer owns parcel 1000-006-1-12.1 off of Crescent Avenue located on the north shore of Fishers Island. The site is generally moderately sloped, sandy gravel earthen materials, vegetated with grass, brush, ground cover and trees. The frontage of the property is on Fishers Island Sound abutted by Mr. Robert Patterson to the west and John McGeeney to the east. The waterfront consists of a sandy beach with rocks and tidal wetlands vegetation at the base of a short but steep, sloped, eroding bluff in the vicinity of the pier It is the Meyer's desire to reconstruct a timber and pile supported pier. The dock end of this new pier will go from an end elevation of 5 feet above mean low water (ML W), sloping upward and crossing over the intertidal zone at a typical height 5.7 feet above the bottom sediments until reaching a maximum elevation of about 8 feet and then a landing to shore. Attached are application drawings prepared for this project. This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Town of Southold, Ordinance No.6, 2004, and the Waterfront Revitalization Program related to docks and shorefront improvements. In addition, various coastal policies under the New York State Coastal Management Act are addressed herein for review by the New York State Department of State and Department of Enviromnental Conservation. DESCRIPTION OF WORK As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to reconstruct a fixed wood pile and timber pier from the shore out into Fishers Island Sound in accordance with existing guidelines set forth in the Town of South old ordinance No.6, 2004. It is envisioned that this structure will be built utilizing the following general sequence and methodology. )> The marine contractor will arrive by water at or near high tide with barge-mounted crane and push boats. The existing pier will be demolished after reference guide piles are set for the new pier construction. )> New piles will be driven starting at the new shore landing end of the pier and proceeding waterward at roughly 10-foot intervals to the waterward end of the pier. These piles will be driven by double-acting air hammer to a bearing resistance of approximately 20 tons. This generally results in about ten feet of embedment of the pile in the bearing stratum. )> After the piles are installed, split caps (also referred to as split clamps) consisting of a pair of pressure treated Southern Pine timbers ranging from 3 x 10 to 4 x 12 nominal dimension, will be bolted to the piles transversely forming a pile bent. Stringers will be then laid on the split caps parallel to the length of the pier. In all likelihood, three runs of stringers will be set and will probably consist of 3 x 10 pressure-treated Southern Pine. )> The outer stringer on each side will be bolted or spiked to the pile to take care of any uplift forces that this pier might be exposed to. I >> After the stringersee been connected to the piles and s.aps, the decking will be installed. In accordance with Town of Southold's Ordinance No.6, 2004, this decking will not be CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine but rather oak, cedar, hardwood or plastic I composite such as Timber Tech or similar synthetic material with the brushed side mounted up. If Timber Tech, it will be either gray, brown or natural in color. Decking will be attached to the stringers utilizing galvanized nails or stainless steel flathead square-drive wood screws about 3 inches long and will be set with a W' gap between deck planks. >> The over-water decking will run level at an elevation of five feet above ML W or to clear 5-ft. above the existing bottom sediments with a slope upward at approximately I foot vertically per 10 feet horizontally maximum, or less, paralleling as closely as possible the slope of the existing intertidal zone until reaching the finished elevation beyond (landward) of tidal wetlands vegtetation. At this point the decking will level off as a landing and run straight to the shore. See Sheet 4 of the application drawings for the pier profile. >> The piles will be about 42 inches above the deck surface and have horizontal rail members mounted to them. >> A rail of cedar, oak, hardwood or Timber Tech material will be installed for safety. >> Water and electricity will be run out on the pier in the space between the stringers so that trickle chargers aM I or bilge pumps on the boats may be powered during tie-ups. The water will allow boats to be rinsed off after usage. A power post with an interna1light will be mounted to the end of the fixed pier with receptacles to provide power to the boats from extension cords. The power post will also have coiling arms for storage of the electric service cord and hose between uses. Because the dock may be used during the hours of darkness, low-intensity lights will be mounted on staggered piles or dock rail posts to illuminate the deck and the walking surface up to the bank. This system will be manually or radio controlled with a shut-offtimer so that the lights will only be on when necessary for safety of the users. LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION POLICIES The Town of Southold, LWRP policies that are applicable to the Meyer dock reconstruction are a local refinement of the Long Island Sound Regional Coastal Management Program policies that apply throughout Long Island Sound. The Meyer site is on Fishers Island Sound and is characterized by undeveloped coast or natural coast on the east shore, however, there is Crescent Avenue which is typical of at least a somewhat developed shorefront. The developed coast policies are applicable as follows: >> Policy I is to foster a pattern of development that enhances community character and preserves natural resources to the maximum extent and minimizes adverse impacts on the environment, >> Policy 2 is to preserve historic resources, >> Policy 3 is to enhance and protect scenic resources and visual quality. The proposed dock reconstruction for the Meyer's is consistent with waterfront development on Fishers Island and in coastal areas. The pier is made of timbers and utilizes the materials allowable under Local Law #6 and consistent with other adjacent dock facilities and characteristics for the visual and scenic considerations. The encroachment has been limited to the existing permitted length to be consistent with DEC policies and the structure is as low profile as possible consistent with the safe and efficient use of the waters and consistent with the tidal range of this site. Lighting will be minimal for operational safety and otherwise off, and 2 lights will be utilized onl.n necessary for boating purposes so . during hours of darkness there will be no adverse impact NATURAL COAST POLICIES The Natural Coastal Policies are 4 through 8 and require consideration as follows: ~ Policy 4 - Minimize loss of life, structures and natural resources from flooding and erosion, ~ Policy 5 - Protect and improve water quality ~ Policy 6 - Protect and restore the quality and function of the eco-system, ~ Policy 7 - Protect and improve air quality, ~ Policy 8 - Minimize environmental degradation primarily from solid waste and hazardous substances. The proposed reconstruction for the Meyer recreational boating facility has been laid out and configured so as to be consistent with previous permit(s) for the site and the DEC permit requirements for such structures. As such, it provides adequate height to clear environmental resources of concern and the materials to be utilized are consistent with Town of Southold's Local Law #6 regarding environmental quality and the use of pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine timber and pile components in particular. Attached is the DEC study from the year 2000 which determined that the use of CCA -treated piles and timbers was suitable and acceptable for the marine environment. Decking will not CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine. There will be no adverse impacts on air quality as a result of this structure. PUBLIC COAST POLICIES Policy 9 sets forth a priority to provide for public access and recreational use of coastal waters, public lands and public resources of the Town. This project maintains a recreational boating facility for the Meyer's property without adversely affecting public access to Public Trust Lands and Waters of the State, or navigation and so is consistent with this policy. WORKING COAST POLICIES The policies of this section relate to the following: ~ Policy 10 - Protection of the Town's water-dependent uses and promoting new water- dependent uses in suitable locations, ~ Policy 11 - Promoting sustainable use of living marine resources, ~ Policy 12 - Protect agricultural lands, ~ Policy 13 - Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral resources. While most of the Working Coast Policies are not applicable to this site or this type of project, Policy 10, promoting water-dependent uses and the citing of water-dependent uses in appropriate areas is applicable and the proposed project has been laid out to make the most beneficial use of the land and locating the dock facility in the most appropriate point of the land where access down the bank will not require excessive structural facilities and can be accommodated with path work rather than formal stairs and so on. 3 This project has. laid out with specific reference "eview of the Waterfront Revitalization Program policies and is considered to be consistent. In summary, the proposed dock reconstruction maintains the typical nature of recreational boating facilities throughout the area and all along coastal New England. The structure has been minimized in size, height, and structure so as to be consistent with other facilities of a similar nature and the minimum necessary components to accommodate safe and efficient boating operations from this site. This project does not interfere with public access or use of public trust waters and lands of the State, it does not interfere with navigation, it will not create soil or sedimentation erosion problems, it will only minimally affect environmental resources and in the area where the facility must span the intertidal zone at the shore line, the facility has been located in the footprint of the existing pier where environmental resources have already reach equilibrium so as not to worsen any of these conditions. The height of the structure has been specifically addressed by raising the pier so as to encourage re-vegetation of the shoreline by tidal wetlands plants if other conditions are conducive to such growth. The dock is in 4 feet of water so that dredging will not be an issue and thus further minimizing adverse environmental impacts. Most of the Meyer's shoreline will remain in a natural state as a result of these considerations for design. There is no loss of valnable marine and wetland habitat and no water quality degradation as a result of this project. Reference is made to the NYS DEC study from 2000 indicating the suitability of pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine piles and super-structure components for this type of purpose. In accordance with Local Law #6, for the pier and the ramp treads will be of woods other than Southern Yellow Pine. No natural protective features or processes will be adversely impacted as a result of the proposed docking facility. This project is consistent with zoning policies and ordinances for the Town. The pier will be maintained as an accessory to the Meyer's home at this site. There will be no development of the upland related to this dock facility that will create point sources of pollution or drainage. This project is considered to be providing recreational opportunity compatible with the natural resource values and characteristics of the site. REOUlREMENTS OF SECTION 97-25 OF THE WETLANDS LAW 6. 2004 The permittee acknowledges that the validity of this permit is subject to the approval of other govemmental or municipal authorities. The permittee does, by the acceptance of this permit, assume all responsibility for operations undertaken pursnant to this permit, and shall take all precautions for the prevention of injuries to persons and property resulting from such operations. By such acceptance, the permittee also agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Town and its officers. The permittee gives consent to the Town and its officers, employees and agents to enter upon the premises where such operations are being conducted to make such inspections to determine whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with the permit. The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of any and all operations. The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing upon completion of operations such that the site can be inspected for issnance for a certificate of compliance. In response to Sub-section 2a and the General Rules for Standards of Residential and Commercial Docks, the following additional information is offered. 4 I. Permits fo. work are being applied for througa Town, US ACOE, NYS DEC and a coastal zone consistency determination by the NYS DOS. 2. The new piles to be installed will be of sturdy, durable and stable materials; in all likelihood, or possibly 12-inch butt diameter CCA pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine (SYP), Greenheart or piles with new split caps and braces of pressure-treated SYP materials. These members will be a minimum of 3 x 8's and more often, 3 x lO's with at least one 0/." bolt per connection, and in many cases, two y"" bolts per connection. This pier is a fixed, pile-supported timber structure and therefore will not adversely affect the free circulation of water or reduce the effects of fluctuating water levels in Fishers Island Sound. In addition, the pier does not present any adverse modification of the shoreline. The pier's elevation is such that in extreme high flood tides the structure's end will be inundated. The pier's profile at 5-feet above the intertidal zone sediments means that for the most part this section of the pier will stay above breaking waves. The structure's SYP timber materials represent the standard of the industry and are specifically grown and treated to be capable of withstanding full immersion. With the connections described above, this structure will be able to survive repeated inundations and typical direct waves at high tide elevations with a structural life of 10 to 20 years. 3. The pier support will include driving new piles at IO-foot intervals to the maximum extent possible in order to obtain the desired pier alignment and support intervals. The use of CCA pressure-treated piles and timbers can be approved for this project in accordance with Local Law 6. 4. The pier will not be decked with CCA pressure-treated Southern Pine. This pier provides a safe pedestrian surface for access to the berthed boat. Rails may be installed on the pier for safety. 5. The new pier will be built in the footprint of the existing structure. The IS-foot clearance specified in this paragraph should not be an issue because the pier being replaced was permitted and has existed in this location uncontested for years and does not represent a significant encroachment into the boating operation area of neighbors nor does it project into the navigation way for other boaters. 6. Upon receipt of the permit for this project, appropriate permit identification numbers and a Town permit placard will be affixed to the most seaward face of the pier for identification from the water. 7. There are no permanent structures located above the pier decking, nor are any planned at this time other than the power post and railing which are fixed by function. 8. It is possible and intended to provide a five-foot passage way on the upland to get under this pier and that accessibility will be retained between the AL W and MHW lines. There will room to walk under the pier at low tide, however, foot traffic in this area is rare, if at all. 5 NEW YORK STATE CeTAL MANAGEMENT PROG~ These application documents include a copy of the Federal Consistency Assessment Form utilized for the New York State Coastal Management Program under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of State. The following policies have been identified as pertinent to this application and the reason for consistency associated with this project is outlined in each respective case. Policy 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to reconstruct a previously permitted, long- standing and fully functional water dependent use, a dock facility at this site in support of recreational boating. Policy 5 - Use of Existinl! Develooed Shorefront - There is no developed shoreline on this site. This project utilizes existing shorefront which has accommodated a pier for years and developed an equilibrium with resources such as growth of tidal wetlands vegetation. The project will be to reconstruct a pier to make it safe and reliably usable in most weather conditions. Policy 7 - Sil!llificant Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitat has been considered in the development of this project layout. The shoreward point of beginning will be over or in the vicinity of vegetated shoreline fringe and rocky inter-tidal sediments and should not jeopardize the integrity of existing spartina fringe outcrops. Studies indicate that there is a slight environmental benefit to piers because of the creation of structure in the water column where barnacles, algae and crustaceans will inhabit. Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has also been considered in this project and the dock structure is being kept to its minimal configuration and of materials consistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the Wetlands Law, No.6, 2004 set forth by the Town of Southold and standards of the NYS DEC. Maintaining the pier's north I south alignment will allow sunlight to reach the inter-tidal and shallow sub-tidal sediments in the morning from the east and in the afternoon from the west. Policy 11 - Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The dock construction project has been laid out in such a way so as to minimize damage to natural resources as identified in Policy 7 above. The pier has been sited in the area where the existing pier has been located for years and shoreline vegetative habitat has come to equilibrium. Policy 14 - No Measurable Increase in Flooding - This project consists of construction of an open wood pile and timber pier which in no way adversely affects waterflow and circulation in Hay Harbor or flooding potential of the area. Flood levels all around Fishers Island are dictated by water levels in Long Island Sound, Fishers Island Sound and Block Island Sound and this structure will have no adverse influence on those levels. Policy 15 - No Dredl!ing - Dredging is not required in this project. The floating dock system has been laid out in its current location and configuration to avoid any dredging requirements. The depth of 4 feet as generally recommended by the NYS DEC has been reached. The waters are protected enough that boats can be berthed bow to shore leaving the motor out in the deeper water. The float and the bow of the boat will not ground out at low tide. Policv 19 - Impact on Public Access - Public access will not be jeopardized or impeded as a result of this project. As a matter of fact, there is almost no public access usage of the public trust lands or waters at this site. The intertidal zone is significantly covered by boulders and tidal wetlands fringe marsh vegetation and the shallow sub-tidal waters do not present any 6 opportunity or enticemene public access in the area. The pier .pies the landward 25% of the waterway width in accordance with US ACOE policies. Thus, public access to the State's lands and waters will not be adversely affected by the project. Policy 20 - Public Trust Comoatibility with Existing Adioining Prooerties and Land Uses- Public Trust compatibility with existing adjoining properties and land uses have also been considered in this project. Several nearby properties have small docking facilities similar to this one and this docking facility will not interfere with existing or the likely configuration of future facilities on immediately adjoining properties or the logical allocation of littoral development rights. Policy 21 - Water Deoendent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent recreational opportunities policies set forth in this section. Policy 24 -Scenic Resources. Imoairment or Loss - This policy is designed to prevent impairment or loss of scenic resources. The construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier will not represent a new encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources. The elevated inboard landing section of the pier will be largely over-shadowed by the tree growth, the spartina fringe marsh on the site on the concave shore lands. Policy 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic ~uality - The new dock structure will be consistent with the scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24 above. Policy 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - It is acknowledged that the fragmented fringe marsh of spartina alterna flora along the shoreftont is a valuable resource. The construction of the fixed wood pile and timber pier has taken advantage of the existing un-vegetated strip of the shoreline caused by the existing pier in order to avoid adverse wetlands impact. The raised height of the pier should allow opportunities for the growth of the spartina fringe marsh naturally up to, and to an extent, beneath the wood pier once the new pier is built.

Located: Crescent Ave., Fishers Island. SCTM#6-1-12.1 The term Water-deoendent use means a business or other activity which can onlv be conducted in. on. over. or adiacent to a water bodv because such activity reauires direct access to that water bodv. and which involves. as an intCl!'ral part of such activity. the use of the water. Existinl! uses should be maintained and enhanced where possible and appropriate. 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. Based upon the information provided on the L WRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the below Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP; provided that the proposed action meets sub-policv 6.3. as outlined below. 6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands. A. Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements of the Southold Town Board of Trustees laws and regulations for all Andros Patent and other lands under their jurisdiction I. Comply with Trustee regulations and recommendations as set forth in Trustee permit conditions. The applicant must demonstrate that the followinl! dock standards pursuant to Ii 275-11. Construction and operation standards have been met. - . . (d) Review and approval of dock applications. Before issuing a permit for a dock structure, the Trustees shall consider whether the dock will have any of the following harmful effects: [1] Whether the dock will impair navigation or be located in areas of high vessel traffic or vessel congestion; [2] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with the public use of waterways for swimming, boating, fishing, shell fishing, waterskiing and other water-dependant activities; [3] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with transit by the public along the public beaches or foreshore; [4] Whether the dock will significantly impair the use or value of waterfront property adjacent to or near the dock; [5] Whether the dock will cause degradation of surface water quality and natural resources; [6] Whether the dock will cause habitat fragmentation and loss of significant coastal fish and wildlife habitats; Eeh!rass (Zostera marina) SA V beds were identified in the proposed proiect location throul!h a recent underwater bottom assessment implemented bv Chris Pickerell. Habitat Restoratiop Specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County Marine Prol!ram. Mr. Pickerell provided the followinl! comments rellardinl! his underwater field observations; On the east side of the dock where two new piles and boulder relocation are proposed I observed the following: Healthy grass is immediately adjacent to or at the site of both the northern and southern pile locations. There is also a significant patch adjacent to the existing boulders within the proposed boat slip. Please note that I based my measurements on the plans provided (Docko 2/4/08) and using the spacing (from the dock) of the existing piles (west side) as an indication of how far away from the dock the new piles (east side) would be. This distance was measured as 17ft. Also note that the tape was aUached to the piles of the dock and pulled outward in such a way that the "zero point" was at the 2ft mark so all measurements seen in the pictures are 2ft higher than the actual measurements. J7] Whether the dock will result in the destruction of or prevent the growth of vegetated wetlands, seagrasses including eelgrass (Zostera marina) and widgeon grass (Ruppia ~aritime) or shellfish; [8] Whether the dock will unduly restrict tidal flow or water circulation; [9] Whether the dock will be safe when constructed; [10] Whether the dock will adversely affect views, viewsheds and vistas important to the community; [11] Whether the cumulative impacts of a residential and commercial dock will change the waterway or the environment and whether alternate design, construction, and location of the dock will minimize cumulative impacts; and [12] Whether adequate facilities are available to boat owners and/or operators for fueling, discharge of waste and rubbish, electrical service and water service. In the event that the action is approved it is recommended that the application be amended to meet the followinl! Chapter 275 rel!ulations. f 275-11 Construction and operation standards. A. General. The following standards are required for all operations within the jurisdiction of the Trustees: (2) Erosion control. Installation of an erosion control structure is necessary during any building, grading, landscaping or site work activity within Trustee jurisdiction. This structure may include, but is not limited to, installation of a silt fence, hay bales, wood chip berm and silt booms. The placement of the erosion control structure(s) shall be determined by the Trustees or their designee. All intertidal -" . . . construction and excavation requires the installation of a silt boom that will retain all suspended sediments within the immediate project area. It is recommended that the silt boom be deploved durin!! the construction of the dock structures and around the proposed area to be dred!!ed durin!! construction. {3] In order to prevent the release of metals and other contaminants into the wetlands and waters of Southold, the use of lumber treated with chromated copper arsenate (also known as "CCA "), commercial copper quat (CCQ), creosote, penta products or homemade wood preservatives is prohibited for use in sheathing and decking. Similarly, the use of tropical hardwoods is prohibited unless it is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or similar organization. Materials usedfor structural components shall be determined at the discretion of the Trustees. Minimize the use of CCA treated wood in the marine environment. {2] Commercial docks (marinas, yacht clubs and restaurants). {b] Construction of new marinas and additions to existing marinas shall require establishment of a pump-out facility for vessel sanitary waste. It is recommended that the establishment of a pump-out facility for vessel sanitary waste is investi!!ated. The above will further Policies 5 Protect and improve water quality in the Town of Southold, 6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands and Policy II Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound, the Peconic Estuary and Town waters. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action NOTE: The ori!!inal Coastal Consistencv Review was completed on April 15. 2008 and further was amended on Julv 14.2008 to reflect Chris PickereIl's SA V field assessment.

The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently. there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition. many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orcterty. \Allll}JldlR::II~1/e in nature, yet ftexibte enough to aUow intmduction of illrUllllotivrl to fit a prQject or action. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: ProYides oQjective data and information about a given prqject and its site. By identifying basic prQject data. it assists a revieWer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses. on identifying the range. of poss;\)IP impacts. that may occur from a pr'!iect or action. It providesguidar1ce as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.

F()ster a pattern of devel()pment in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open spaee, makes eff"teient use of infrastructure, makes benef'"teial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. Sec L WRP Section III - Policies; Page 2 f()r evaluatimt eriteria. X Yes No _ Not Applicable This facility rehabilitation proiect makes appropriate use of an existing waterfront access dock svstem and complies with environmental design factors published bv the NYS DEC. and the DOS Coastal Management Program. Southold Local Law No.6. 2004 and the Southold L WRP. The pier will follow its existing. long-standing alignment but be raised to a 5-foot dock clearance over the bottom sediments until passing the landward limit of the adiacent spartina marsh. then ramp to shore. Piles and rails will be 3 1/2 feet above the deck. There will be no impairment ofwaterflow or navigation. Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of South old. See LWRP Section III - Policies Page 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria. Yes No -X- Not Applicable 2 -- -._--_. o o Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See L WRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria Yes No ---X- Not Applicable This proiect is reconstruction of an existing pier. NATURAL COAST POLICIES Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from nooding and erosion. See L WRP Seetion III - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria. Yes No x Not Applicable Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria. Yes No x Not Applicable This proiect will not have anv affect on suitabilitv of or availabilitv of drinking water on Fishers Island. Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria. x Yes No _ Not Applicable 3 ......--......... o ,.....,. / This proiect is consistent with this oolicy because it raises the elevation of the pier landing to an acceptable height above the bottom sediments through which adjacent tidal wetlands may spread. In addition. the NYS DEC preoared a study showing that the proposed oressure-treated Southern Pine timber products construction materials are suitable for this ~e of project in this location. except for decking which will be of untreated woods or composite (or plastic) materials in accordance with Town Law6.. As mentioned earlier. the design parameters shown on the drawings provides an oPtimum balance between acceptable design and access standards and provide new opoortunities for the wetlands vegetation to sPread. Therefore. the pier encourages habitat enhancement. Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria. Yes No x Not Applicable There are no air aualitv issues related to this project. No emissions will be generated by the dock facility. Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. See L WRP Sectiou III - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for evaluation criteria. Yes No x Not Applicable There is no solid waste or hazardous substances to be generated from this proiect. The pressure-treated wood trimmings from the dock construction will be collected and disposed of in accordance with current regulations so as to minimize any harmful affect.

The public trust lands and waters constitutes the area between the mean high water line and mean low water line and the resources are waterward of the high tide line. out. These environmental resources are being protected by the design standards dictated by the NYS DEC. There is virtually no public use of the waterfront in this area and the reconstruction of the pier and landward extension above the apparent high water line are not likely to influence or change this fact. 4 ._~,_.._--_._._-- "'" ~ WORKING COAST POLICIES Policy 10. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water-dependent uses in suitable locations. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation criteria. X Yes No _ Not Applicable This proiect is to rebuild and modifY an existing wood pile and timber pier for water-dependent. recreational and transoortation boating.. This usage is defmed as water-dependent in the L WRP because the pier is for recreational boating and orovide boat transportation access to the mainland.
