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: September 21,2010 Re: Proposed Wetland Permit for THOMAS & MAUREEN DOWLING SCTM# 1000-104-9-3 Mark Schwartz, Architect on behalf of THOMAS & MAUREEN DOWLING requests a Wetland Permit to construct an addition between the existing house and existing garage apartment; construct alterations within building; second-floor expansion; proposed rear deck; and screened-in porch. Located: 1200 Breadwaters Rd., Cutchogue. SCTM#104-9-3 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 LWRP provided that the following best management practices are implemented to meet and further the below listed policies: · Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystem 6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands. Do Provide adequate buffers between wetlands and adjacent or nearby uses and activities in order to ensure protection of the wetland's character, quality, values, and functions. 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. Existing Conditions - A site inspection was conducted on September 9, 2010. This site is unique in that high marsh wetland vegetation (spartina patens, distich#is spicata, iva frutescens, baccha~s halimifolia and salicornia sp.) occurs landward of the bulkhead for a distance of 115+ feet. The vegetation is mowed in several areas: to maintain a wide (greater than 11') path to an existing boat basin and catwalk, around an existing flagpole and west of the boat basin to maintain a sitting area (beach chairs were observed). Evidence of frequent .ponding was also observed behind the bulkhead in areas of lower elevation surrounding the flagpole. The area is a wetland and subject to Chapter 275 Wetlands and Shorelines provisions of the Southold Town Code. Hydrology on site indicates that if the mowed areas were allowed to re- establish, high marsh wetland species would re-colonize the areas. It is recommended to minimize impacts to surface and subsurface water quality, vegetation and habitat from the developed areas that a buffer be established to preserve the natural (wetland) vegetation. The landward limit of the buffer is proposed to be where the (line) of existing wetland vegetation meets the lawn area. Access to the water should be achieved via an unimproved path of a specified width. The area surrounding the flagpole and sitting area (white circle below) could be continued to be mowed. A sample definition of a natural vegetated buffer is included for your use. NATURAL VEGETATED BUFFER -- a land area of a certain length and width where existing yegetation 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) 90 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 constructed of pervious material to access the water-body. Figure 1. Subject parcel (white arrow). Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

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 Waterfi'ont 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). 3.
