Located: 20795 Soundview Ave., Southold. SCTM#51-4-13 All work is proposed seaward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard line and located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area. 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 actions (realign the existing concrete seawall and install 16 10" dia. batter pilings on front side and install 150 ton of rock armoring at base of seawall consisting of 1-3 ton rocks; repair and/or replace existing concrete splash slab as needed, in- place; remove sections of collapsing lower retaining wall and construct new rock retainer, in- place, install 16 10" dia. support pilings in void area and fill void area with 150 cy. of 20-50 lb. core stones on filter cloth, and pour new 6" reinforced concrete splash slab, in-place; remove existing collapsing wooden deck and walkway) are CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided the following best management practice is required pursuant to: § 275-11. Construction and operation standards. A. General. The following standards are required for all operations within the jurisdiction of the Trustees: (2) Erosion control. Installation of an erosion control structure is necessary during any building, grading, landscaping or site work activity within Trustee jurisdiction. This structure may include, but is not limited to, installation of a silt fence, hay bales, wood chip berm and silt booms. The placement of the erosion control structure(s) shall be determined by the Trustees or their designee. All intertidal construction and excavation requires the installation of a Silt boom that will retain all suspended sediments within the immediate project area. The proposal to construct new deck and movin.q new deck 8' landward is INCONSISTENT. § 275-11. Construction and operation standards. A. General. The following standards are required for all operations within the jurisdiction of the Trustees: (6) Decks and platforms. No decks or platforms shall be permitted on or near bluffs. Platforms associated with stairs may not be larger than 32 square feet. [Amended 10-11-2005 by L.L. No. 17-2005] It is unclear if the new deck would be located 8' from the top-of-bluff line or from its current location. Policy 4.t "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. 1. 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. no development is permitted in natural protective feature areas, except as specifically allowed under the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8. avoid hazards by siting structures to maximize the distance from Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas. To further the above policy, it is recommended that the new deck be located landward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area to the greatest extent practicable. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action. Cc: Lori Hulse, Assistant Town Attorney Town of Southold LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM A. INSTRUCTIONS All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for proposed actions that are subject to the Town of Southold Waterfront Consistency Review Law. This assessment is intended to supplement other information used by a Town of Southold agency in making a determination of consistency. *Except minor exempt actions including Building Permits and other ministerial permits not located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area. Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt minor action list, policies and explanations of each policy contained in the Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its significant beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of Southold Town). If any question in Section C on this form is answered "yes", then the proposed action may affect the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review law. Thus, the action should be analyzed in more detail and, if necessary, modified prior to making a determination that it is consistent to the maximum extent practicable withl the LWRP policy standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken.

Our proposal will not have any effect on the community character or preservation of open space. Policy 2 Preserve historic resources of the Town of Southold. This property has no significant historic resources. Policy 3 Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. All structures exist. The current conditions of these structures are unstable threatening the integrity of the upland property. Our proposal is just an attempt of the upland property owner to ma'mtain his property. The present conditions of these structures are not aesthetically pleasing so the visual quality and scenic resources will be restored to when the area was stable. NATURAL COAST POLICIES Policy 4 Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. The existing bulkhead is needed to protect the upland property. The new bulkhead will help control further erosion of this bluff and will not increase flooding or erosion in this area. Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold.
