Proposed Wetland Permit for WILLIAM LEHMANN
SCTM#1000-31-18-16
Costello Marine Contracting Corp. on behalf of WILLIAM LEHMANN request a Wetland Permit and a
Coastal Erosion Permit to remove the remains of the existing wood walk, stairway to beach and 29' of
bulkhead; construct 29' of new bulkhead in-place; fill eroded area with clean trucked in fill
(approximately 6 cubic yards); re-grade area; reconstruct (replace) existing wood walk and stairway to
beach in-place. Located: 730 Rabbit Lane, East Marion. SCTM# 31-18-16
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 to remove remainS
of existing wood deck, stairway to beach and 29' of bulkhead; construct 29' of new bulkhead in-
place; fill eroded area with clean trucked in fill (approximately 6 cubic yards); re-grade area; and
reconstruct stairway to beach in-place, is CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore is
CONSISTENT with the LWRP.
The Board issued a permit to repair the bulkhead in 1992 which showed the beach stairs.
The proposal to reconstruct (replace) existing wood walk (dimensions unknown) LOCATED
WITHIN THE CEHA is INCONSISTENT with LWRP Policies 4.1 (below) and therefore,
INCONSISTENT with the LWRP.
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 suggested:
Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from
flooding and erosion hazards.
Avoid development other than water-dependent uses in coastal hazard areas.
Locate new development which is net water-dependent as far away from coastal
hazard areas as practical.
a. No development is permitted in natural protective feature areas, except
as specifically allowed under the relevant portions of 6 NYCRR 505.8.
b. Avoid hazards by siting structures to maximize the distance from Coastal
Erosion Hazard Areas.
The location of the proposed deck is within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (CEHA) and will be
constructed on the beach. All development is prohibited on a beach pursuant to § 111-12 unless
specifically provided for by Chapter 111, COASTAL EROSION HAZARD AREAS. Pursuant to § 111-6,
allowable activities on a beach may include open timber piles or other similar open work supports with
a top surface area of less than 200 square feet. Therefore, the deck, as proposed, as prohibited in the
on the beach pursuant to Chapter 111, COASTAL EROSION HAZARD AREAS.
§ 111-12. Beach area.
D. All development is prohibited on beaches unless specifically provided for by this chapter.
§ ttt-6. Definitions.
UNREGULATED ACTIVITY -- Excepted activities which are not regulated by this chapter include but
are not limited to elevated walkways or stairways constructed solely for pedestrian use and built by an
individual property owner for the limited purposes of providing noncommercial access to the beach;
docks, piers, wharves or structures built on floats, columns, open timber piles or other similar open
work supports with a top surface area of less than 200 square feet or which are removed in the
fall of each year; normal beach grooming or cleanup; maintenance of structures when normal and
customary and/or in compliance with an approved maintenance program; planting vegetation and sand
fencing so as to stabilize or entrap sand in primary dune and secondary dune areas in order to maintain
or increase the height and width of dunes; routine agricultural operations, including cultivation or
harvesting; and the implementation of practices recommended in a soil and water conservation plan as
defined in § 3, Subsection (12), of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law; provided, however,
that agricultural operations and implementation of practices will not be construed to include any activity
that involves the construction or placement of a structure.
