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 ~ Yes ~ No ~ Not Applicable The project is consistent with Policy 3 because it will result in the enhancement of the natural vegetative condition and scenic resource of the property shoreline through the stabilization and preservation of the presently eroding intertidal marsh. Without the installation of the existing low-sill bulkhead on the property in 2005, most of the remaining intertidal marsh present at the site would have been lost to erosion. 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 ~ Yes ~ No [~ Not Applicable The project is consistent with Policy 4 because it seeks to use a structural approach to erosion control combined with the vegetative non-structural measure of marsh creation and preservation for the purpose of allowing the marsh to serve as the primary source of erosion and flooding protection for the site, which itself would otherwise continue to be lost to erosion. The proposed structural erosion protection measure is limited to the minimum scale necessary, i.e., a low-sill bulkhead whose top elevation will be below that of avarage high water, which must be employed where the natural protective feature, i.e., the marsh, would otherwise continue failing and be lost. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section II1 - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria ~ Yes ~ No ~ Not Applicable The preservation and enhancement of the existing intertidal marsh at the property improves the parcels ability to act as a sink and filter for contaminants from the upland that would otherwise enter thc adjacent waterway. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 22 through 32 for evaluation criteria. RYes -- No ~ Not Applicable Because the very purpose of the project is to preserve the existing intertidal marsh and enhance it by creating approximately 190 s.f. of additional intertidal marsh, the project is explicitly consistent with the purpose and goals of Policy 6. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section II1 - Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria.
