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. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Page 2 for evaluation criteria. ['-]Yes [--] No E~ Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria ~ Yes ~ No E~ Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria [~ Yes ~'~ No ~ Not Applicable The replacement and extension of the existing, permitted fixed dock structure will not result in a significant or adverse change to the visual or scenic quality of the site, as the structure will remain consistent in size and scope as other dock structures that characterize this residentially developed creek front. 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 [~ Not Applicable 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 ~] No ~] Not Applicable The existing dock to be removed is constructed entirely &treated lumber, and the new dock will be constructed with untreated decking to reduce the use of treated timber. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria. RYes [-~ No ['~ Not Applicable As a permitted dock already exists at this site and numerous other dock structures characterize this residentially developed shoreline, installation of the proposed dock will not cause any "fragmentation of ecological communities," nor will construction of the dock result in the physical loss, degradation, or functional loss of ecological components, as the dock will be of open-pile construction; be elevated above grade of vegetated marsh, and utilize open-grate decking, all to allow for the persistence of vegetation beneath it. The decking will also be untreated, as noted under Policy 5. The project will meet the statutory & regulatory requirements of Article 25 of the NYS DEC and of Town Code Chapter 275, Wetlands, with the exception of the dock's intruding into the waterway more than the one-third waterway width allowed by Chapter 275 (see Policy 9 below). Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria. ~-~ Yes V~ NoR Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for evaluation criteria. ~] Yes [~] No [~ Not Applicable PUBLIC COAST POLICIES Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 38 through 46 for evaluation criteria. Yes V~ No ~ Not Applicable The proposed replacement dock has been designed and configured specifically to avoid interfering with the navigation of small to mid-sized vessels that can utilize the tidal creek on the opposing shoreline to gain access to James Creek. Although the proposed dock and approximately 9' vessel would extend seaward approximately 7 feet farther into the waterway then the one-third (+/-19) intrusion allowed by Chapter 275, there is no outlet to the north of the project site and no potential for dock construction on the opposing shoreline. As foot traffic is also not feasible along this shoreline due to the dense intertidal marsh and deep layer of fine, mucky soils, the project does not impede public access to nor recreational use of the waterway and is therefore consistent with Policy 9. Attach additional sheets if necessary WORKING COAST POLICIES '1, Po. licy 10'. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water-dependent suitable locations.
