Location: 640 Rabbit Lane, East Marion
SCTM# 1000-31.-18-20.1
Fairweather-Brown on behalf of JOSEPH & JOANNA CHERNUSHKA requests a Wetland
Permit and Coastal Erosion Permit to convert dormered second-floor bedrooms into second-
floor conforming space, remove the existing chimney, lift the dwelling to conform to flood plain
regulations, and install gutters and drywells to contain roof run-off. Located: 640 Rabbit Lane,
East Marion. SCTM#31-18-20.1
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 INCONSISTENT with the denoted following Policy Standards
and therefore is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP.
A. portion of the existinq residential structure is located seaward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard
Line.
4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards.
The fo/lowing management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures
from flooding and erosion hazards are suggested:
Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away
from flooding and erosion hazards.
Avoid development other than water-dependent uses in coastal hazard
areas. Locate new development which is not water-dependent as far away
from coastal hazard areas as practical.
Avoid hazards by siting structures to maximize the distance from
Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas.
3. Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and
erosion hazards as practical. Maintaining existing development and structures
in hazard areas may be warranted for:
c. sites where relocation of an existing structure is not practical.
The rear yard setback on the pamel is 35 feet from Rabbit Lane. From the rear yard setback to
the existin.q structure is a total distance of 22 feet. It is recommended that the Board assess the
feasibility of relocating the structure ~ioser to Rabbit Lane within the building envelope and
requiring a landscaped buffer landward of the existinq bulkhead. A recommended definition for
a landscaped buffer is:
LANDSCAPED BUFFER - a land area of a certain len.qth and width which is planted with indiqenous,
drou.qht tolerant, ve.qetation similar to that found within the immediate proximity of the parcel. Ve.qetation
shall be installed in suffident densitie~ to achieve ninety-five (95) Percent .qround cover within two years
of installation. Sun/ival of planted veqetation shall be (ninety) 90 percent for a period of three years.
Maintenance activities within the buffer are limited to removinq ve.qetation which are hazardous to life and
property, trimmin,q tree limbs up to a heiRht of fifteen feet (15') to maintain viewsheds, replantin,q of
ve.qetation and establishinq a four foot (4') wide access path constructed of pervious material for access
to the water-body.
5.1 Prohibit direct or indirect discharges that would cause or contribute to
contravention of water quality standards.
C. Ensure effective treatment of sanitary sewage and industrial discharges by:
8. providing and managing on-site disposal systems:
b. protect surface and groundwater~against contamination from pathogens
and excessive nutrient loading by keeping septic effluent separated from
groundwater and by providing adequate treatment of septic effluent.
It is recommended that the Board require that the applicant upgrade the on-site-septic system to
protect from potential contamination to qround and surface waters.
It is recommended that the Board amend the application to meet and/or further the above
policies to the greatest extent practicable.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Southold Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in
preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
