Located: 250 Goose Creek Lane, Southold. SCTM#71-1-42 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 provided that the following best management practice is applied pursuant to § 275-11. Construction and operation standards. (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. Ail intertidal construction and excavation requires the installation of a silt boom that will retain ali suspended sediments within the immediate project area. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action. Figure 1. Boyar Residence Town of Southold LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM A. 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 Waterfront 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.

Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Page 2 for evaluation criteria. [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable Subject proposal is consistent with the policy in that the sitinq and utilization of the improved erosion - control facilities li.e. reconstructed bulkheadin~l) will maintain the character of the surroundin~l neiflhbarhood, which currently consists of many similarly improved lots with similar accessory structures (i.e. existinq bulkheadin.q to the northeast and sauthwest alonfl Goose Creek). In addition, subject parcel will be in harmany with this "...beneficial use of a coastal location..." in that subject waterfront lot will be enhanced and improved by the up.qradinq of the existinq bulkhead in order to control erosion alonq the situate shoreline. The instant propasal will also "...minimize the adverse effects of development" in that resheathinfl, rather than reconstruction, will drastically reduce the siltation caused by the project. This will protect the Town awned clam beds situated near the subject parcel, and will not add to the naviflational issues associated with Goose Creek. Accordinqly, we feel that the instant proposal complies with Policy 1. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable Policy 2 is not applicable in that subject lot and the surroundin~ neighborhood cannot be deemed a substantial historic and/or archaeoloqical resources. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 5 through 7 for evaluation criteria [] Yes [] No [] Not Applieable Subject proposal will not adversely impact the visual quality of the surrounding1 area in that the proposal is to install a vinyl sheathed bulkhead within 18" of the existing wooden bulkhead located along the situate shoreline of the subject property. The surroundinq area is currently comprised of properties improved with similar appurtenances (i.e. bulkheading) of similar size and scope. Scenic resources, assumedly views of Goose Creek and Southold Bay beyond, are not at risk because the proposed resheathin~l will occur on an existinfl functional bulkhead that has been in place within this property far years without neflatively impacting1 upon the scenic resources of this section of waterfront. The proposed resheathinq will also "...restore deteriorated...visual components" by coverinq the worn wooden bulkheadinfl and thereby addin.q to the visual quality of the area. Therefore, we feel that the instant proposal complies with Policy 3. Attach additional sheets if necessary NATURAL COAST POLICIES Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable Subject proposal will fully comply with this Policy in that the proposed bulkhead resheathinq is specifically desiqned to minimize and/ar prevent loss af life, structures and natural resources from floodin~l and erosion. In addition, the proposed resheathin~l, rather than reconstruction, will help to "manaqe naviqation infrastructure to limit adverse impacts on coastal processes" by drastically reducinq the amount of siltation caused by the project and thereby limitin~l impacts to the already naviqationally challenqed areas of Goose Creek. Therefore, we feel that the instant proposal complies with Policy 4. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in thc Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable Subject proposal is not applicable to this policy in that it will have no effect to the water aualitv/suoolv within the surroundin.q area. Attach additional sheets if necessary 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 [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable Subject proposal will maintain the quality of the surrounding1 ecosystem in that the proposal is to simply resheath the existin~ timber bulkheadin~ thereon with vinyl bulkheadinq. The existing bulkhead has existed thereon for many years without resultinq in any form of discernible adverse effects to the surroundinq environment. The choice to resheath, as oppose to replace, the existinq bulkhead will further "protect and restore ecoloqical quality..." by limitin.q the amount of siltation caused by the instant proposal. The applicant is also proposing1 to veqetate an area 2' seaward of the proposed bulkhead with native beach ~lrass ISpartina}, which will add in the furtherance of these qoals. This voluntary ve.qetation will also "protect and restore tidal...wetlands" where previously there was iust timber bulkheadin~l. More importantly, the specifics of this proposal (i.e. resheathinq, veqetation seaward af the proposed bulkheadl will further aid in protection of the Town owned clam beds located in Goose Creek near the project site, and will reduce adverse effects to the nay qat anal challenqes of Goose Creek.
