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 [~ 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 [~ 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 To the extent that the project will restore the natural vegetated buffer within portion of bluffthat has been eroded and denuded of its naturally occurring vegetation, the project will be consistent with Policy 3. 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 The center portion of the existing bluff face at the site has been badly eroded both from the top downward and fi.om the bottom upward. Specifically, during the spring 2010 nor'easters, significant material sloughed downward from the top of the bluff and was deposited at the bluff toe, from where the Christmas 2010 blizzard removed it and carried it out to sea. The project thus seeks to replenish this material and stabilize and vegetate it so as to restore the protective function of the bluff, the site's natural protective feature. Placement of additional toe stone adjacent to the existing stone at the toe of the bluff will help to stabilize the bluff during significant storm events. Therefore, the project will employ a primarily "sol5 solution" approach to bluff erosion ( specifically the use of renourishment and vegetative buffers with some minor enhancement of existing hard toe protection) to result in increased protection and enhancement of the site's natural protective feature, which will in turn help to minimize loss and damage to the property, its structures and natural resources from flooding and erosion. The project is thus consistent with Policy 4. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold.
