Located: 2800 Dignan's Rd., Cutchogue. SCTM#83-2-13.5 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.

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.

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 purpose of the project is to restore and stabilize, primarily through vegetative, non-stmctaral measures, the eroded and denuded portion of the bluff, which is the site's natural protective feature. Specifically, the project seeks to mgrade and remove the sheer lip at the existing bluff crest and translate the bluff crest landward to eliminate the risk of further avulsive loss of the top of the bluff, which together with renourishment of the eroded portion of bluff immediately below it will create a more stable angle of repose in the upper portion of the bluff face. Placement ora terrace retaining wall at the seaward limit of the erosion/renourishment area will help to sustain this angle of repose and allow for the reestablishment of native plantings in the renourished area to complete the vegetative restoration of the bluff face, which is the site's natural protective feature. The terrace wall will also prevent the renourishment material from burying or otherwise disturbing the still vegetated lower portion of bluff when it is deposited onto the bluff face. A naturally vegetated non-turf buffer and small berm will be established in place of existing lawn and landscape vegetation landward of the bluff crest to reduce and mitigate the potential for and impacts of future surface water runoff events over the top of the bluff. The project is therefore further consistent with Policy 4 because vegetative resource enhancement is the primary component of the design and the hard stabilization component is being included only for the protection of the vegetation outside the project area and to enhance the likelihood of success of the vegetative restoration. Ultimately, the goal of the project is to restore, enhance, and stabilize the natural protective feature of the property to minimize loss of structures and natural resources from flooding and erosion, consistent with the goal of Policy 4.
