MEMORANDUM

Town of Southold Board of Trustees
From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner
LWRP Coordinator
Date: August 24, 2011
Re:
Proposed Wetland Permit for WILLIAM L. BOSWELL & OTHERS
SCTM#1000-11-1-12
Patricia C. Moore, Esq. on behalf of WILLIAM L. BOSWELL & OTHERS requests a Wetland Permit to
relocate existing dwelling from 8' to 46' from the top of the bluff; install drywells; abandon and install
new sanitary system; and install new gravel driveway and parking area. Located: Old Mallory Rd.,
Fishers Island. SCTM#11-1-12
A site inspection was made on August 10, 2011. 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.
Policy Standards
4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards.
The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from
flooding and erosion hazards are suggested:
A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from
flooding and erosion hazards.
Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and erosion
hazards as practical.
The structure is located landward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (Figure 1).
The relocation would maximize the distance from the "hazard area" and minimize
the potential of future structural loss to the greatest extent practicable.
Figure 1. Subject parcel with Coastal Erosion Hazard Line shown in red.
In the event that the action is approved and to further Policies 4.2 Protect and Restore Natural
Protective Features and Po/icy 5: Protect and Improve Water Quality in the Town of Southold; the
following Best Management Practices are recommended to address the increase in bluff erosion.
Require that the applicant submit a re-vegetation plan for the face of the bluff void of
vegetation outlining species type, density and survivorship parameters. Due to the slope
of the bluff face, terracing to stabilize the soils could be applied. (See figures 2 and 3).
2. Require subsurface drainage structures to be located landward of the relocated structure
to the greatest extent practicable.
Figure 2. Subject parcel showing bluff area and extent of erosion (2006).
Figure 3. Subject parcel showing an increase of erosion in the west of the parcel (2010).
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM
A. INSTRUCTIONS
All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for

Permits and other ministerial permits not located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area.
Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt
minor action list, policies and explanations of each policy contained in the Town of Southold
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its significant
beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of Southold Town).

the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review
law. Thus, the action should be analyzed in more detail and, if necessary, modified prior to making
a determination that it is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the LWRP policy
standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy
standards and conditions, it shall not be andertaken.
