Located: 5005 New Suffolk Rd., New Suffolk. SCTM#110-8-32.7 Aerial photos indicate that the property is subject to erosion and a loss of upland property has occurred. 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 following Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. To further sub-policy 4.1; it is recommended that the applicant incorporate "practical vegetation methods" in the design of the structure. Policy Standards 4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards. The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards are suggested: Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where: Construction of a hard structure is the only practical desJ~ consideration and is essential to protecting the principal use. The proposed hard structural erosion protection measures are: a. limited to the minimum scale necessary b. based on sound engineering practices Practical vegetative methods have been included in the project design and implementation. Adequate mitigation is provided and maintained to ensure that there is no adverse impact to adjacent property or to natural coastal processes and natural resources and, if undertaken by a private property owner, does not incur significant direct or indirect public costs. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action. MT/hkc Town of Southold A.
