KOPF F/BIO KRISTEN POWERS SCTM#1000-123-8-26.1 En-Consultants on behalf of TRUST U/~N OF R.C. KOPF F/BIO KRISTEN POWERS requests a Wetland Permit to construct +/-30' landward extension of the existing +/-66' Iow-profile vinyl groin. Located: 220 Park Ave. Ext., Mattituck. SCTM#123-8-26.1 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 Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. 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 So~thold A. INSTRUCTIONS 1, LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM 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 Soathold 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" or "no", then the proposed action will affect the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review law. Thus, each answer must be explained in detail, listing both supporting and non- supporting facts. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken. 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 Depart ,ment, all local libraries and the Town Clerk's office.

Evaluate the project to the following policies by analyzing how the project will further support or not support the policies. Provide ali proposed Best Management Practices that will further each policy. Incomplete answers will require that the form be returned for completion. DEVELOPED COAST POLICY Policy 1. 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. NYes ~-] 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 Ill - 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 Southoid. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria Yes No wot Applicable 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 wot Applicable ltte project is consistent with Policy 4 because only a hard structural erosion protection measure such as the proposed landward extension of the groin will adequately stabilize the eroding sandy, unvegetated, bay beach located immediately landward of the intertidal zone. Pursuant to Policies 4.1(A), (B), and (C), respectively, the existing dwelling was already relocated landward more than 10 years ago; it would not be possible to stabilize the beach immediately landward of the intertidal zone with vegetative plantings due to the fetch at this location and the associated wave energy on the beach; and there are no elevated dune areas or other natural protective features that can be enhanced other than the beach, whose elevation and width would be enhanced via the proposed groin extension. Specifically, while the recently reconstructed and landward relocated low profile groin continues to stabilize the foreshore, it remains too short on its landward end to stabilize the beach behind it. As was previously the case, in general, this is a consequence of the chronic erosion and ultimately the landward migration of this stxetch of shoreline, but shortly at, er the completion of the construction of the recently landward-extended groin, Tropical Storm Irene caused an avulsive drop in beach elevation of approximately a foot or more, which caused the reconstructed groin to become immediately in need of further extension landward. Below are the previous findings of the LWRP Coordinator, which remain applicable to the current proposal: "Policy Standards 4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures fi.om flooding and erosion hazards. The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards are suggested: D. Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where: The principal use is residential. The fetch and exposure of the location warrant the use ora hardened control structure to slow and trap the west-east migrating sand and re-nourish the beaches. Note that field inspection indicates that the recent Nor-easter which occurred over the weekend of March 13, 2010 has shifled sand that once comprised the beach, northward under the residence. In addition drainage patterns indicate that during wave actions and high tide periods, water flows around the northern end of the groin eroding sand back into the bay. 5. The proposed hard stmctaral erosion protection measures are: a. limited to the minimum scale necessary b. based on sound engineering practices 6. Practical vegetative methods have been included in the project design and implementation. Due to the elevation of the grade (beach) and tidal exposure, the use of vegetation within this area is not a practical erosion control method." Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section Ill - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria [~ Yes ~'] No [--] Not Applicable The project will be consistent with Policy 5 insofar as the proposed groin extension would be constructed with untreated vinyl sheathing rather than treated timber. 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. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold.

Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southoid from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes.

Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Southold.

Attach additional sheets if necessary WORKING COAST POLICIES Policy 10.' Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water-dependent uses in suitable locations.
