Re:
Proposed Wetland Permit and Coastal Erosion Permit for JOHN F. BETSCH
SCTM#1000-54-4-24
JOHN F. BETSCH requests a Wetland Permit and Coastal Erosion Permit for the placement of rocks,
approx. 36" dia., to be embedded into the embankment along the eroded area parallel to the shoreline.
Located: 2325 North Sea Dr., Southold. SCTM#54-4-24
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Water[rant 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 below listed Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP
provided that the followinR questions listed in 4.t, D, 5a. are adequately answered:
4.1
Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards.
D. Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where:
2. Vegetative approaches to controlling erosion are not effective.
This section of the shoreline is subject to frequent storm surges
capable of eroding the vegetated bank/beach.
3. Enhancement of natural protective features would not prove practical in
providing erosion protection.
See above
Construction of a hard structure is the only practical design consideration
and is essential to protecting the principal use.
The principal use is a private residential residence (not water
dependent). The purpose of the proposed structure is to dissipate
tidal and wave energy during storm events to minimize erosion of
the beach seaward of the structure.
The proposed hard structural erosion protection measures are:
a. limited to the minimum scale necessary.
The proposed structure is limited in design using
natural stone. However, it is recommended that the
Board assess.
The len.qth of the structure including the
returns (as proposed the structure is not
measurable).
How the break shown in the structure to
allow access to the beach would respond to
storm sur.qe.
Whether the structure will be buried or
exposed? If exposed, would the structure
accelerate scourin.q of the soils in the area
immediately seaward of the structure?
What impacts (if any) would the proposed
structure have on the Town Beach to the
east of the property?
What impacts (if any) would the hardeninn,
of the shoreline on this lot would impact the
neif~hbors Property to the west?
Practical vegetative methods have been included in the project design
and implementation.
The action incorporates ex!sting vegetation atthe top of the
proposed structure. The vegetation will assist in stabilizing soils
landward of the proposed structure.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

Attached is a more detailed drawing/cross section of the proposed action as
noted in, and is being submitted in support of application of 14 January 2011.
While it is the same construction plan as was submitted, the drawing more
clearly and definitively shows dimensions, MHW, distances to the revetment, and
the planned returns to be built as part of the application.
This same drawing was included in, and accepted by NYSDEC for their permit.
Yours truly,
