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.

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 existing, developed site, together with the adjacent properties, has been improved with and supported and protected from flooding and erosion by a bulkhead at the toe of the embankment since prior to 1977, and the project seeks to maintain this existing condition through the ordinary and routine in-place replacement of the bulkhead. There is no viable non-structural alternative means of maintaining and protecting the vegetated embankment and upland portion of the parcel in its current location; and failure to maintain this structure would cause the flooding and erosion of the adjacent properties. Therefore, the project is consistent with Policy 4. Attach 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 treated timber bulkhead will be replaced with a bulkhead constructed with vinyl sheathing; and the existing vegetated area landward of the bulkhead will be revegetated and maintained as a nonturf buffer landward of the bulkhead upon project completion.

See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 38 through 46 for evaluation criteria.
