TOWNSEND PLANNING BOARD OFFICE TOWN OFSOUTHOLD MAILING ADDRESS: P.O. Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 OFFICE LOCATION: Town Hail Annex 54375 State Route 25 (cor. Main Rd. & Youngs Ave.) Southold, NY Telephone: 631 765-1938 Fax: 631 765-3136 To: James King, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner LWRP Coordinator Date: February 9, 2007 Re: Proposed Wetland Permit for FITF, LLC SCTM# 1000-9-8-2 FIT]F, LLC requests a Wetland Permit to remove the existing dilapidated 10'X 100' fixed dock and to construct 4'X 15' stairs leading to a 6'X 40' fixed dock, 3.5'X 20 ramp an 8'X 20' float and an 8'X 30' float in an "L" configuration. Proposed dock shall also be 3' lower in elevation than existing dock and 17' shorter than the existing dock. Located: Reservoir Rd., Fishers Island. SCTM#9-8-2 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 LWRP 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 Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action. Environmental Consuking Services Applicant: FITF, LLC. Location: Reservoir Road, no #, Fishers Island S.C.T.M.No. 1000-009-8-2 The project consists of the applicant's proposal to remove an existing dilapidated 10' x 100' dock and to construct a 4' x 15' set of stairs leading to a 4' x 40' fixed dock, 3.5' x 20' ramp and an 8' x 20' float an and an 8' x 30 float in an "L" configuration. The proposed dock would be constructed 3' lower in grade of the existing dock, 4' narrower than the existing dock and 17' shorter than the existing dock. 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. The project activities shall be "concentrated" on a site where similar activities (docking facility) currently exist. The project does not involve agricultural land nor will open space be utilized or impacted. 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 Southold nor shall it result in the loss of the community and landscape pattern of the Town of Southold. d/~l ~ ~ ~007 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 Fishers Island Sound. The reason for this is that the project site has previously been "disturbed" and developed. The property itself was previously disturbed when the existing docking facility was constructed. Policy 3. I believe that this project is consistent with this policy since the project will not have an impact on any scenic resource of the Town of Phone (63 ~) ~':~53-0607 · Fox (63 l) 653-3348 ] 2'1 Jessup Ave ~, 2nd Floor ,, P.O. Box 447 Quogue, New York 11959-0447 Southold. Policy 4. I feel that the project is consistent with this policy for a number of reasons. The proposed docking facility has been designed based upon sound engineering practices and designed to the minimum scale necessary. The proposed dock would be constructed 3' lower in grade than the existing structure as well as 17' shorter in length than the existing structure. 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 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. 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 tidal wetlands by the destruction of habitat or significant impairment to the tolerance range of any species of fish or wildlife. 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 dock, 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. Nor will the project have impacts upon the public's right of access along the shoreline Policy 10. I feel that the project is consistent with this policy. The project shall have no impacts upon any existing water-dependent commercial, industrial or recreational uses of Silver Eel Cove. Nor is the project located on Mill Creek or within the Village of G-reenport 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 Southold nor shall it have a negative impact upon the long-term maintenance and health of living 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. own of Southold LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM INSTRUCTIONS All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for proposed actions that are subject to the Town of Southold Waterfi'ont Consistency Review Law. This assessment is intended to supplement other information used by a Town of Southold agency in making a determinatiOn of consistency. *Except minor exempt actions including Building Permits and other ministerial permits not located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area. Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt minor action list, policies and explanations of each policy contained in the Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its significant beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of Southold Town). If any question in Section C on this form is answered "yes", then the proposed action may affect the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review law. Thus, the action should be analyzed in more detail and, if necessary, modified prior to making a determination that it is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the LWRP policy standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken. A copy of the LWRP is available in the following places: online at the Town of Southold's website (southoldtown.northfork.net), the Board of Trustees Office, the Planning Department, all local libraries and the Town Clerk's office.
