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 recommendations to
further the below listed policies are implemented.
5.3 Protect and enhance quality of coastal waters.
Protect water quality based on an evaluation of physical factors (pH, dissolved
oxygen, dissolved solids, nutrients, odor, color and turbidity), health factors
(pathogens, chemical contaminants, and toxicity), and aesthetic factors (oils,
floatables, refuse, and suspended so/ids).
To further the above policy, it is recommended that the Board minimize the use of CCA treated
materials in the bulkhead and dock design.
Policy 6. Protect end restore the quality and function' of the Town of Southold ecosystem
6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wet/ands.
E. Maintain buffers to ensure that adverse effects of adjacent or nearby
development are avoided:
Maintain buffers to achieve a high filtration efficiency of surface runofL.
A void permanent or unnecessary disturbance within buffer areas.
Maintain existing indigenous vegetation within buffer areas.
To, further the above policy, it is recommended that a perpetual landscaped buffer be required
landward from the bulkhead.
LANDSCAPED BUFFER -- a land area of a certain length and width which is planted with
indigenous, drouqht tolerant, ve.qetation similar to that found within the immediate proximity of
the parcel. Vegetation shall be,installed in sufficient densities to achieve ninety-five (95)
percent qround cover within two years of installation. Survival of planted vegetation shall be
(ninety) 90 percent for a pedod of three years Maintenance activities within the buffer am
limited to removing veqetation which are hazardous to life and property, trimming tree limbs up
to a hei,qht of fifteen feet (15') to maintain wewsheds, replantinq of veqetation and establishinq
a four foot (4') wide access path constructed of pervious material for access to the water-body.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in
preparing its wdtten determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
