Located: 2225 Calves Neck Rd., Southold. SCTM#70-4-45.3 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 installation of approx. 137 If. of rip-rap, consisting of +/-1' to 1.5' dia. approx. 100-300 lb. fieldstone (on filter cloth), and backfill with approx. 50 cy. sand to be planted with Cape Amedcan beach grass (18" on center) is 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 proiect area The proposal to construct approximate 148 If of vinyl retaining wall and backfill the wall with approx. 45 cy of sand (burying existing vegetation).., is INCONSISTENT with policy 4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards and therefore INCONSISTENT with the LWRP. Applicable policies follow; B. Use vegetative non-structural measures to manage flooding and erosion hazards. Use vegetative non-structural measures which have a reasonable probability of manaqing floodin¢ and erosion, based on shoreline characteristics includinq exposure, geometry, and sediment composition. Use vegetative measures to increase protective capabilities of natural protective features. Discouraqe clearing of existing, particularly indigenous veqetation during siting, design, construction and re qrading phases of any development project. Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where: 2. Vegetative approaches to controlling erosion are not effective. The proposal includes back filling of existing vegetation (see submitted survey dated 10/20/10) that is currently stabilizing the bank. See following photos. It is recommended that the Board evaluate the need of the 148'+ vinyl retaining wall and integrate the existing vegetation into the proposal. Figure 1. Subject parcel. September 20, 2010 image date. Figure 2. Subject parcel. September 20, 2010 image date. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development.

Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section II1 - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria [~ Yes [~ No ~] Not Applicable Insofar as Policy 3 is applicable to the project, the project is consistent to the extent that it will preserve and enhance existing vegetation and establish and maintain indigenous vegetative buffers between the upland and adjacent beach and tidal wetlands. 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 [~Yes [---] No [---] NotAoplicable The project is consistent with Policy 4 because it seeks to incorporate vegetative non-structural measures, i.e., plantings and vegetative buffers, with hard structural erosion protection measures, i.e., stone rip-rap, to stem the loss of the eroding shoreline and provide protection for the naturally protective vegetation that is currently being lost to erosion. The proposed structural erosion protection measures are limited to the minimum scale necessary and must be employed where substantial natural protective features are absent and vegetative means of erosion control are failing and would on their own be ineffective. As both sizuctures will be located entirely landward of spring high water, the project will in no way impede upon public trust lands or access thereto~ Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southoid. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria [~ Yes [-~ No ['--] Not Applicable Insofar as Policy 5 is applicable to the project, the project is consistent to the extent that the proposed natural vegetated buffer areas increase stormwater absorption capacity and filtration of contaminants adjacent to wetlands. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Sonthold ecosystems including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria. [~ Yes ~l No [---] Not Applicable Insofar as Policy 6 is applicable to the project, the project is consistent to the extent that it seeks to preserve, restore, and or establish indigenous vegetative buffers between the upland and adjacent beach and tidal wetlands, including where the indigenous buffer will be established in place of previously existing lawn areas that were lost to erosion. These buffers provide habitat and increased stormwater absorption capacity and filtration of contaminants adjacent to wetlands. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 7.
