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: June 22, 2011 Re: Proposed Wetland Permit for NICHOLAS NOYES SCTM#1000-3-2-1 Docko, Inc. on behalf of NICHOLAS NOYES requests a Wetland Permit and a Coastal Erosion Permit to rebuild 600+/- sf. of wood patio deck including existing perimeter bench and new post supported cable rail. Located: Pdvate Rd, Fishers Island. SCTM#1000-3-2-1 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 following LWRP Policy Standard and therefore is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP. The proposed action is located entirely within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area. 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 suggested: 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: a. structures which functionally require a location on the coast or in coastal waters. b. water-dependent uses which cannot avoid exposure to hazards. c. sites in areas with extensive public investment, public infrastructure, or major public facilities. d. sites where relocation of an existing structure is not practical. The structure is not water dependent and does not meet criteria a-d above. Further the proposed action is a regulated activity in the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area, however, it is difficult to determine how the regulations apply to the action. Spot elevations shown on the Plan View (DWG 09-08-2146) indicate a rise of 6' from the toe of the stone revetment to the top of bank. It is recommended that the Board has the applicant clarify the natural protective feature within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area. Figure 1. Subject parcel. 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 for 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" or "no", then the proposed action will affect the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review law. Thus~ each answer must be eg.nlalned in detaii~ listing both supporting and non-supoortin~, facts. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken.
