WORK1NG COAST POLICY Policy 10 Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new waterdependent uses in suitable locations. Maritime activity in Southold traditionally has been concentrated in the harbors, inlets and creeks. As noted earlier, Policy 1 promotes a continuation of this traditional paUem of maritime activiW, supporting the economic base, maintaining the maritime character of the Town, and avoiding disturbance of the remaining natural shoreline and water areas. The intent of this polic? is to protect existing water-dependent commercial~ industrial, and recreational uses and to enhance the economic viabilit~ of water-dependent uses b~ ensuring adequate provision of infrastructure for water-dependent uses and their efficient operation. This is relevant to Southold because other important concentrations of water-dependent uses are located at Orient Point, Orient hamlet, Gull Pond, Mill Creek/Budds Pond, Town/Jocke~ Creek, New Suffolk, James Creek and West Harbor. § 275-11 Construction and operation standards. The applicant must demonstrate that the following dock standards pursuant to ~ 275-11 Construction and operation standards have been met. Review and approval of dock applications. Before issuing a permit for a dock structure, the Trustees shall consider whether the dock will have any of the following harmful effects: [1] Whether the dock will impair navigation or be located in areas of high vessel traffic or vessel congestion; [2] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with the public use of waterways for swimming, boating, .fishing, shellfishing, watersMing and other water-dependant activities; [3] Whether the dock will unduly interfere with transit by the public along the public beaches or foreshore; [4] Whether the dock will significantly impair the use or value of waterfront property adjacent to or near the dock; [5] Whether the dock will cause degradation of surface water quality and natural resources; [6] Whether the dock will cause habilal fragmentation and loss of significant coastal fish and wildlife habitats; [7] Whether the dock will result in the destruction of or prevent the growth of vegetated wetlands, seagrasses including eelgrass (Zostera marina) and widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima) or shellfish; [8] Whether the dock will unduly restrict tidal flow or water circulation; [9] Whether the dock will be safe when constructed; [10] Whether the dock will adversely affect views, viewsheds and vistas important to the community; [11] Whether the cumulative impacts ora residential and commercial dock will change the waterway or the environment and whether alternate design, construction, and location of the dock will minimize cumulative impacts; and [12] Whether adequate facilities are available to boat owners and/or operators for fueling, discharge of waste and rubbish, electrical service and water service. If the action is approved, the following best management practices (BMP's) are recommended: The use of grid decking having greater than 50% light penetration to the substrate. Minimize the length of the docking structure to the greatest extent practicable. Design standards allowing for the public to access trust lands and water. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

Created on 5/25/05 l l.'20 AM Date: To: Proposal: August 27, 2008 Southold Town Trustees and Mark Terry Construct a 4'x70' fixed dock leading to a 32"x20' seasonal aluminum ramp onto a 6'x20' seasonal floating dock secured by two 10" diameter piling. DEVELOPED COAST POITCZES POliCy 1 Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes benet',:ial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. Our proposal is consistent with this policy in that it a dock structure that will be utilized by the property owner to access his boat in order to access larger bodies of water. Our proposal makes beneficial use of this water~ont location. Waterfront property is the only appropriate location for a dock. The addition of this structure will not increase adverse effects on development. Policy 2 Preserve historic resources of the Town of Southold. This project location has no significant histodc resources. Policy 3 Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. Our proposal will not have a negative impact on the visual quality or scenic resources. Any disturbance to the indigenous vegetation during the initial construction is expected to re-establish within a season's time. The size of our dock structure is appropriate for this area. We are proposing a small 4' wide structure to access adequate water then place a 6'x20' seasonal float to service a small boat. NATUR~I~ ~OAST POITCZES Policy 4 Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. Our proposal has no impacts on the flooding or erosion of natural resources. Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. Our proposal will not have any impact of the water quality or supply in the Town of Southold. POlicy 6 Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold's ecosystem. Our proposed dock facility will have minimal effects on the ecosystem. During the initial construction there will be a disturbance to the ecosystem but this area will easily re-establish itself within one season. We have submitted applications to all other governing agencies (DEC, ACOE, DOS) and we will adhere to any special conditions placed on this project in order to protect the wetlands on this site. POI~ 7 Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. Our proposal will not have any impact on the air quality in the Town of Southotd. Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation in the Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. Our proposal will not influence the environmental degradation in the Town of Southold from solid waster and hazardous substances and wastes. PUBITC COAST PC)iTC[ES Policy 9 Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Southold. Our proposal will give the property owner the ability the access his boatsand engage in the recreational use of coastal waters. The dock will not inhibit others ability to access these same waters. Page 2 of'2 LWRP for the Goldsmiths WORK/NG COAST POLTCIES Policy 10 Protect the Town of Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water- dependent uses in suitable locations. This is a waterfront piece of property. With the addition of this dock facility the property owner will be able to access his boat to engage in water-dependent activities such as kayaking, fishing, site seeing, water-skiing and swimming. Policy 11 Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in the Town of Southold. Our proposal is minimal in size so there won't be much impact on the living marine resources. The dock will be only 4' wide minimizing the shading of the existing vegetation. The structure will also be constructed a minimum of 3 1/2 feet over grade allowing for significant sunlight penetraUon. With adequate sunlight penetration, the wetlands will continue to thrive allowing them to maintain their function of providing food and shelter for small fish. Policy 12 Protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. Our proposal will not have any impact on agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. Policy 13 Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral resources. Our proposal will not have any impact on the development of energy and mineral resources. J '~'? I -9.0 II
