SCTM#128-6-8 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 denoted following Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided that the following recommendations to further the below listed policies are implemented. Poficy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystem 6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands. 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 runoff Avoid permanent or unnecessary disturbance within buffer areas. Maintain existing indigenous vegetation within buffer areas. If the action is approved it is recommended that the existinq trees on-site be preserved through the establishment of a perpetual landscaped buffer landward from the bulkhead. A sample definition follows: LANDSCAPED BUFFER -- a land area of a'certain length and width which is planted with indigenous, drou,qht tolerant, vegetation similar to that found within the immediate proximity of the parcel. Vegetation shall be installed in sufficient densities to achieve ninety-five (95) percent ground cover within two years of installation. Survival of planted ve,qetation shall be (ninety) 90 percent for a period of three years, Maintenance activities within the buffer are limited to removing veqetation which are hazardous to life and property, trimminq tree limbs up to a height of fifteen feet (15'1 to maintain viewsheds, replanting of vegetation and establishing a four foot I4') wide access path constructed of pervious material for access to the water-body. Further, to further Policy 5, "Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of $outhold" and protect and improve the water quality and supply in the area~; the following best management practices are recommended: 1. Require the installation of gutters, leader and drywells to minimize storm water impacts. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its wdtten determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
