Located: 52755 North Rd., Southold. SCTM#135-1-27 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.

Policy 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: The proposed hard structural erosion protection measures are: a. limited to the minimum scale necessary b. based on sound engineering practices 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.

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 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 Pursuant to Chapter 275-1 l(B)(l)(b and e), the proposed retaining wall is proposed along a stretch of Long Island Sound that has been severely impacted by extreme and excessive erosion during the past several years, culminating with an avulsive loss of beach at the subject and adjacent properties during the Christmas 2010 Blizzard. In response to this erosion, the Pologeorgis property to the immediate west of this parcel gained approval to construct a retaining wall and stone armor; the Town of Southold public beach parking lot immediately to the east underwent extensive repairs and restoration; and the next privately owned parcel to the east of the Town Beach (Tumbull) was recently granted approval to construct a bulkhead/retaining wall with stone toe armor at the toe of the bluff. The bluff to the east of Tumbull is also armored with a retaining wall, and the property to the west of Pologeorgis is protected by a concrete seawall. Therefore, the subject parcel, whose dwelling is located farther seaward than any of these other dwellings and structures, is the only parcel remaining in this cell without some form of erosion protection. Given the absence of any natural protective feature that can protect the dwelling and the recently demonstrated vulnerability of this stretch of shoreline to severe storm damage, providing a hard stabilization remedy is the only practicable design consideration that can effectively provide protection for the applicants' dwelling and immediately adjacent beachfront. Pursuant to Chapter 275-1 l(B)(l)(c), the proposed wall would be armored with toe stone to dissipate reflective wave energy, and pursuant to Chapter 275-11 (BX 1)(d), the area between the dwelling structures and proposed wall would be maintained as a sandy nonturf buffer. Given the use of toe stone and the presence of surrounding hard structures, the project will not increase erosion at adjacent properties. The project would have no impacts on the adjacent unvegetated tidal wetlands or waters of Long Island Sound. The project is therefore consistent with Policy 4.
