Re;
Coastal Consistency Review for ZBA File Ref. 6539 Robert V. Longo
SCTM#1000-67-1-8
Request for Variances from Article XXIII Section 280-124 and the Building Inspector's December 29,
2011 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit for "as built" demolition and re-
construction of a new single family dwelling at: 1) less than the code-required minimum side yard
setback of 15 feet; 2) less than the code required combined side yard setbacks of 35 feet; 3) more than
the code required maximum lot coverage of 20%, located at: 220 Sound Avenue (adj. to Long Island
Sound), Peconic, NY. SCTM#1000-67-1-8
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 m~, determination that the proposed action is
INCONSISTENT with the below listed LWRP polices and therefore INCONSISTENT with the LWRP:
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."
Policy 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 recommended: specifically
A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from
flooding and erosion hazards.
RECEIVED
FEB 2 9 Z01~
BOARD OF APPEALS
3. Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and erosion
hazards as practical. Maintaining existing development and structures in hazard areas
may be warranted for:
a. structures which functionally require a location on the coast or in
coastal waters.
d. sites where relocation of an existing structure is not practical
The "as built" residential structure does not functionally ~equire a location
on the coast and is not water dependent. Although due to lot size,
configuration 'and area of unbuildable lands located on the lot the
relocation of the structure is not feasible.
The expansion of an existing structure 33% greater than permitted 20%
lot coverage by code is inconsistent with the above policy - the area is
subject to potential storm surge and/or flooding.
In the event that the action is approved to further Policies 5 and 6 the following is recommended:
Require that the action fully complies with Chapter 236 ""Stormwater, Grading and Drainage Control
Law."
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written
determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
Cc: Jennifer Andaloro, Assistant Town Attorney
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).
lfany 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 shah 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 Department, all
