Located: 1060 Willow Terrace Lane, Orient. SCTM#26-2-22 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 generally CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided that the following Best Management Practices are applied to further the policies: 1. No CCA treated lumber is used in the construction of the stairs. 2. The vegetation/Beachgrass landward of the bulkhead is not disturbed during construction. 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 AUG '2_ 9 2007 AUG - 9 2007 Seutbol~ Towe Boar~ of Trustees APPLICANT: STEPHEN MATTEINI SCTM #: 1000-26-2-22 CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM Policy 1 [] YES Policy 2 [] YES Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southoid that enhances com- munity character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. ~NO [] NOT APPLICABLE The construction of stairs to grade on the seaward side of an existing bulkhead is consistent with the character of the waterfront community. The bulkhead has ex- isted in its present location for many years and has served the property owners and the community well. Because of the project's low profile and unobtrusive appear- ance it is felt that there is no adverse impact on the desired preservation of open space, lnfi'astmcture use is not a factor since the project is for the further appropri- ate development of an existing private location. The project is certainly a benefi- cial use of the coastal location, and there will not be even an incremental increase in development in the area. Preserve historic resources of the Town of South~ld./ [] NOT APPLICABLE There is no evidence to indicate that the immediate area of the project includes his- toric features, and it is to be expected that the mainly intertidal nature of the project area is unlikely to have been to site of activities of past civilizations. Policy 3 Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. [] YES ~NO [] NOT APPLICABLE The existing bulkhead is of low profile and will continue to be inconspicuous in its present location, and the existing natural buffer area landward of the bulkhead con- tributes to its suitability in this location. The addition of stairs to access the near shore area at appropriate tides will not be visually intrusive. It is compatible with other existing shoreline structures in the area, and will not adversely affect the dy- namic landscape elements (tidal fluctuations, seasonal vegetation changes) which might contribute to ephemeral visual qualities. Policy 4 [] YEs Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and ero- sion. ~O [] NOT APPLICABLE It is unlikely that the proposed stairs would contribute to increased hazards which could result in the losses listed. Natural protective features will not be adversely af- fected. Policy 5 [] YES Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. ~O [] NOT APPLICABLE The proposed addition of stairs to access the near shore area will not have any ef- fect upon water quality and supply. During construction liquid or solid wastes will not be discharged into the water or wetlands. Disturbance of the shoreline during construction will be minimal. Policy 6 [] YEs Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold's ecosys- ~O [] NOT APPLICABLE The project is located in or immediately adjacent to the Orient Harbor Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat. However, the entire shoreline in the area of the proposed project (650' northwest and 550' southeast) is hardened either by buik- heading or by a single rock revetment (-300' northwest), and the entire northeast- em shore of Orient Harbor is developed. The main thrust of the NYSDOS narrative appears to be the protection of water quality in the area, and the proposed project will not have any lasting adverse impact on water quality in Orient Harbor. All statutory and regulatory requirements, at all levels of government, will be strictly complied with. No dredging is proposed, and the minimal mount of con- struction required at grade level seaward of the bulkhead will be conducted in such a way, with the advice and consent of the Southold Trustees, as to miuimize any impact upon the waters of Orient Harbor. Policy 7 Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. [] YES ~O [] NOT APPLICABLE The construction or future use of the project as proposed will not result in signifi- cant amounts of new air pollution. Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation in the Town of Southoid from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. [] YES ~O [] NOT APPLICABLE The project as proposed will not result in the generation of any additional solid waste. The handling and storage of petroleum products during construction will be accomplished through the use of approved containers and facilities, and methods of handling and storage in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations will be followed. Policy 9 [] YES Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Southold. [] NO ~NOT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project. Policy 10 [] YEs Protect Southoid's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water- dependent uses in suitable locations. [] NO ~4~OT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project. Policy 11 Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound, the Peconic Estuary and Town waters. [] YES Policy 12 [] YEs [] NO ~rNOT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project. protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. [] NO ~OT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project.
