Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 Telephone: 631 765-1938 Fax: 631 765-3136 LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM TOWN OF SOUTHOLD MEMORANDUM To: Jill Doherty, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner LWRP Coordinator Date: July21,2010 Re: Wetland Permit for ANDREW & ELIZABETH GREENE ANDREW & ELIZABETH GREENE request a Wetland Permit to construct an in-ground swimming pool 53'X 22' with retaining walls and surrounding fence, and to re-vegetate a section of bluff face approx. 35' wide by 25' high with beachgrass and Spartina patens. Located: 30653 County Rd. 48, Peconic. SCTM#73-4-5 Note: The face of the bluff is severely eroded and highly unstable due to slope and exposure (see Figure 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 Policy Standards and therefore is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP provided that the following recommendations to further the below listed policies are implemented. 1. Policy 4.1 "Minimize losses of human life 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 recommended: specifically A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from flooding and erosion hazards. 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: structures which functionally require a location on the coast or in coastal waters. water-dependent uses which cannot avoid exposure to hazards. sites in areas with extensive public investment, public infrastructure, or major public facilities. sites where relocation of an existing structure is not practical. The proposed location of the in-ground swimming pool does not meet any of the above qualifiers (a-d) and therefore it is recommended that the structure be relocated to an area that will minimize the potential of future loss and further the above policy. In the event that the proposed action is approved, it is recommended that the bluff be stabilized with indigenous vegetation to prevent the future erosion and loss of structures. Policy 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: 1. Maintain buffers to achieve a high filtration efficiency of surface runoff. Further, if the action is approved, it is recommended that a natural ve,qetated buffer be required from the top-of bluff landward to include the existin,q trees. NATURAL VEGETATED BUFFER -- a land area of a certain length and width where existing vegetation occurs prior to the commencement of any grading or clearing activity. Vegetation shall be maintained to achieve a minimum percent ground cover of ninety-five (95) percent. To achieve the percent ground cover indigenous, drought tolerant vegetation shall be planted. Survival of planted vegetation shall be (ninety) g0 percent for a period of three (3) years. Maintenance activities within the buffer are limited to removing vegetation which are hazardous to life and property, trimming tree limbs up to a height of fifteen feet (15') to maintain viewsheds, replanting of vegetation and establishing a four foot (4') wide access path or stairs constructed of pervious material for access to the water-body. Figure 1. Subject parcel. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
