Proposed Wetland Permit for MICHAEL PHILLIPS
SCTM#1000-33-4-3
En-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of MICHAEL PHILLIPS requests a Wetland Permit to demolish and
remove the existing single-family dwelling, swimming pool and appurtenance, and construct father from
the bluff a new two-story, single-family dwelling and swimming pool, each with a smaller footprint; install
a drainage system of leaders, gutters, and drywells; establish in place of existing lawn along the top of
bluff a 15' wide approx. 1,500 sf. non-turf buffer to be planted with native vegetation; remove existing
sanitary system and install an upgraded sanitary system located entirely landward of the 100' setback;
and install a new driveway beyond Chapter 275 jurisdiction. Located: 1000 Sound Dr., Greenport.
SCTM# 33-4-3
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 denoted following Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the
LWRP provided the following:
If the action is approved to further Policy 5: Protect and Improve Water Quality in the Town of Southold
and Policy 6; Protect and Restore the Quality and Function of the Town of Southold Ecosystem it is
recommended that the buffer be extended landward to the CEHA line.
LANDSCAPED BUFFER - A land area of a certain length and width which is planted with indigenous,
drought-tolerant vegetation similar to that found within the immediate proximity of the parcel. Vegetation
shall be installed in sufficient densities to achieve 95% ground cover within two years of installation.
Survival of planted vegetation shall be 90% for a period of three years. Maintenance activities within the
buffer are limited to removing vegetation which is hazardous to life and properly, trimming tree limbs up
to a height of 15 feet to maintain viewsheds, replanting of vegetation and establishing a four-foot-wide
access path constructed of pervious material for access to the water body. [Added 12-15-2009 by L.L.
No. 15-2009]
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

support the policies. Provide all proposed Best Management Practices that will further each policy.
Incomplete answers will require that the form be returned for completion.
DEVELOPED COAST POLICY
Policy 1. 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 IIl- Policies; Page 2 for evaluation
criteria.
l-lYes 1-1 No ,,ot 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 [~ 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 project is consistent with Policy 3 because the proposed structures are proposed to be located farther from the top of the bluff than
the existing, thus increasing visual buffer for the development for Long Island Sound. Moreover, a naturally planted buffer will be
established in place of existing lawn adjacent to the bluff, which will enhance the scenic quality of the site nearest to the bluff.
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
The project is consistent with Policy 4 to the extent that it relocates existing structures farther from the adjacent bluff.
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 project will protect and improve water quality and thus be consistent with Policy 5 through the establishment of a 15'-wide nonturf
buffer to be planted with native vegetation in place of existing maintained lawn ama adjacent to the top of the bluff. The existing
naturally vegetated slope will remain undisturbed and continue to serve as a buffer adjacent to Long Island Sound. The surface water
runoff absorption capacity of the site will be increased not only by the replacement of lawn with this buffer but also via installation ora
drainage system of leaders, gutters, and drywells to capture and recharge roof runoff from the entire finished dwelling structure.
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.
[~Yes [---] No ~ Not Applicable
The existing stte is charhcterized by swimming pool and dwelhng located +37 and 65, respectively, from the bluff, a lawn that extends to the crest of
the bluff; an antiquated sanitary system located a little more than 100 feet from the crest of bluff; and no drainage system to collect roof runoff. The
proposed project seeks to remove these existing structures and to construct a new, smaller swimming pool located +65' from the crest of bluff and a
new dwelling with a smaller footprint located +82' from the crest of bluff; to install a drainage system of leaders, gutters, and drywells; to install an
upgraded, SCDHSoappmved sanitary system located more than 150 feet from the crest of bluff; and to establish a 15-foot wide planted buffer along the
top of the bluff in place of existing lawn. All proposed structures will be located more than 140 feet from the surface waters and liltoral zone wetlands
of Long Island Sound, and the project is located beyond the Tidal Wetlands jurisdiction of the New York State Department of State Coastal Resources
Division.
Although the newly proposed structures do not meet a 100-foot setback from the crest of bluff, the project design and incorporated mitigation measures
will produce a significant net benefit to the environmental conditions of the property and to the adjacent natural resources, including: a) lot coverage by
structures will be decreased by 735 square feet or approximately 3 percent of buildable land; b) wetlands setbacks will be increased and the minimum
structural setback to the crest of bluff will increase by approximately 28 feet or 75 percent; c) on-site septic treatment will be improved and located
farther from surface waters through upgrade and relocatioo of the sanitary system; d) the proposed drainage system will capture and recharge roof
runoff to reduce surface water runoff; e) the quantity and quality of surface water runoff reaching the bluffwill be mitigated through establishment of
approximately 1,500 square feet of naturally vegetated buffer in place of existing lawn, which serves both as a sink and filter for stormwater runoff and
contaminants contained therein; and f) the area of property treated with fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides will be reduced and set farther from
surface waters by the proposed buffer. Therefore, the project will be consistent with the Policy 6 goal of protecting and restoring the quality and
function of the Town of Southold's ecosystems.
