Located: 10335 Nassau Point Rd., Cutch0gue. SCTM#119-1.14.1&14.2 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 actions to realign collapsed existing deck and reinstall existing stairway to beach; repair ail as needed; and realign collapsed section of wood walkway and repair as needed are EXEMPT from review. The proposed action to construct 630' of Iow-profile 1.5 to 3 ton rock revetment and backfill void area landward of revetment with clean trucked-in sand (approx. 500 to 600 cy.) is CONSISTENT with the denoted following Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided that the Board has determined that the use of vegetative non-structural measures to control erosion for all or part of the shoreline is not possible. The use of non-structural measures to control erosion will further policy 4.1 below. 4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards. B. Use vegetative non-structural measures to manage flooding and erosion hazards. Use vegetative non-structural measures which have a reasonable probability of managing flooding and erosion, based on shoreline characteristics including exposure, geometry, and sediment composition. Use vegetative measures to increase protective capabilities of natural protective features. C. Enhance existing natural protective features and processes, and use non-structural measures which have a reasonable probability of managing erosion 1. Enhance the protective capabilities of beaches by using fill, artificial nourishment, dredge disposal, or by restoring coastal processes. a. Use only clean sand or gravel with a grain size equivalent to or slightly larger than the native material at the project site. b. Design criteria for enhancing the protective capabilities of beaches should not exceed the level necessary to achieve protection from a 30-year storm, except where there is an overriding public benefit. D. Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where: Vegetative approaches to controlling erosion are not effective. Enhancement of natural protective features would not prove practical in providing erosion protection. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
