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 [5~ Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 2.

See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria [~ Yes [-'q No [5~ 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 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 seeks to restore historically preexisting and previously permitted conditions that remained in existence prior to the "Christmas Blizzard" of2010, namely the reconstruction of damaged or destroyed sections of bulkhead and the renourishment of bluff material lost as a result of the avulsive bulkhead damage. The subject parcel is situated amidst a significant stretch of shoreline containing similarly bulkheaded parcels, including two to the immediate east, both of whose bulkheads were constructed pursuant to Town Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Permits within the past 18 months. Therefore this project will not change the existing shoreline conditions and will have no adverse impact on adjacent properties. To the contrary, not replacing the bulkhead would have a negative impact on the adjacent properties, as those properties and their bulkhead would be flanked and undermined by erosion stemming from the subject property. Therefore, there is no practicable alternative to restoring the bulkhead and renourishing the storm-scoured bluff behind it, as doing so will minimize the loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion, thus rendering the project consistent with Policy 4. Atlach 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 is consistent with Policy 5 to the extent that the existing bulkhead comprised of CCA-treated sheathing would be replaced with one comprised of untreated vinyl sheathing.
