From: Mark Terry, LWRP Coordinator Principal Planner Date: March 16, 2010 Re: Wetland Permit for TRUST U/W OF R.C. KOPF F/BIO KRISTEN POWERS SCTM# 1000-123-8-26.1 En-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of TRUST U/W OF R.C. KOPF F/BIO KRISTEN POWERS requests a Wetland Permit to construct a 25' vinyl groin extension to the landward side of an existing timber groin and remove +/-14 If. of adjacent deteriorating steel groin. Located: 220 Park Ave. Ext., Mattituck. SCTM#123-8-26.1 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 CONSISTENT with the following Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. This recommendation was based on the following. Policy Standards 4.1 Minimize losses of human lite. and structures from flooding and erosion hazards. The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards are suggested: Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where: The principal use is residential. The fetch and exposure of the location warrant the use of a hardened control structure to slow and trap the west-east migrating sand and re-nourish the beaches. Note that field inspection indicates that the recent Nor'easter which occurred over the weekend of March 13, 2010 has shifted sand that once comprised the beach, northward under the residence. In addition drainage patterns indicate that during wave actions and high tide periods, water flows around the northern end of the groin eroding sand back into the bay. The proposed hard structural erosion protection measures are: a. limited to the minimum scale necessary b. based on sound en.qineerinq practices Practical veqetative methods have been included in the project desiqn and implementation. Due to the elevation of the grade (beach) and tidal exposure, the use of vegetation within this area is not a practical erosion control method. It is strongly recommended that the groin field be reviewed in its entirety and not as individual groins for a long-term solution to protecting the residential structures along this dynamic shoreline. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria Attach additional sheets if necessary NATURAL COAST POLICIES Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria The project is consistent with Policy 4 because only a hard structural erosion protection measure such as the proposed landward extension of the groin will adequately stabilize the eroding sandy, unvegetated, bay beach located immediately landward of the intertidal zone. Pursuant to Policies 4. I(A), (B), and (C), respectively, the existing dwelling was already relocated landward more than 10 years ago; it would not be possible to stabilize the beach immediately landward of the intertidal zone with vegetative plantings due to the fetch at this location and the associated wave energy on the beach; and them are no elevated dune areas or other natural protective features that can be enhanced other than the beach, whose elevation and width would be enhanced via the proposed groin extension. Specifically, while the existing functional groin continues to stabilize the foreshore, it has effectively become too short on its landward end to stabilize the beach now located entirely behind it. This is a consequence oftbe chronic erosion and ultimately the landward migration of this stretch of shoreline. In response to that landward shoreline migration, the house was relocated and now the groin must be effectively relocated landward as well. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria Yes V1 No V1 Not Applicable The project will be consistent with Policy 5 insofar as the proposed groin extension would be constructed with untreated vinyl sheathing rather than treated timber.
