Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my determination that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the below Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. 10.6 Promote efficient harbor operation. Promote efficient harbor operation in the waters off Fishers Island In response to the increasing congestion and competition for the use of the waters and harbors of Fishers Island, the Town of Southold appointed the Fishers Island Harbor Committee. Established in May 1994, they were charged with preparing a harbor management plan for all the Town waters and harbors surrounding Fishers Island. The Fishers Island Harbor Management Plan is included in the LWRP in Section IV. On the recommendation of the Committee, the Town of Southold has established the following guidelines for the harbor management of the waters surrounding Fishers Island: Ensure balance among existing use of the Island's surrounding waters and harbors. Protect and maintain the shoreline character, heritage, and existing quality of life. Promote and support access to the Island's surrounding waters and other resources in the shoreline areas for all Island residents. Provide for and regulate multiple uses of the Island's surrounding waters and harbors in a manner that assures safe, orderly and optimum use of the water and shorefront resources. Maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Island's surrounding waters and harbors and their dependent habitats The proposed action will further protect and maintain the shoreline character and quality of life. In addition, the proposed action supports the residential use immediately adjacent to the property. Pursuant to Chapter 95, the Town Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
