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. Cc: Lori Hulse, Assistant Town Attorney Town of Southold LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM A. INSTRUCTIONS All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for proposed actions that are subject to the Town of Southold Waterfront Consistency Review Law. This assessment is intended to supplement other information used by a Town of Southold agency in making a determination of consistency. *Except minor exempt actions including Building 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). If any question in Section C on this form is answered "yes", then the proposed action may affect 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. A copy of the LWRP is available in the following places: online at the Town of Southold's website (southoldtown.northfork.net), the Board of Trustees Office, the Planning Dep~ent} ail local libraries and the Town Clerk's office.
