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 LVOIP Section III - Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria V1 Yes W1 No Pot Appllcahle 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 73 No Not 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 II1 - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria ~ Yes ~ No [-~ Not Applieable The project seeks to replace an existing timber bulkhead damaged during Hurricane Sandy with a vinyl bulkhead in the same location to restore the property's historical method of protection against erosion and flooding. The existing, developed site has been improved with and supported and protected from flooding and erosion by a bulkhead since prior to 1977, and there is no viable non-structural alternative means of mahitaining and protecting the upland portion of the property in its current location. Without replacement and maintenance of the bulkhead the subject and adjacent properties would be exposed to severe erosion, flooding, and damage to the residential structm-es located thereon. Therefore the project is consistent with Policy 4. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria ~ Yes ~ No 73 Not Applieable The project is consistent with Policy 5 to the extent that the existing treated timber buIkbead will be replaced with a bulkhead constructed with vinyl sheathing. 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. Yes [~] No 73 Not Applicable Other than the ecological benefit of replacing a treated timber bulkhead with tmtreated vinyl sheathing, the project will effectively maintain the historically preexisting conditions along this bulkheaded shoreline without any change in or significant adverse impact on the adjacent unvegetated wetland area or tidal waters of the Town. Therefore, to the extent Policy 6 is applicable to the project, the proposed work is consistent with the policy. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 32 through 34 for evaluation criteria. ~'] Yes ~-~No~ Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 8. Minimize environmental degradation in Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 34 through 38 for evaluation criteria. ~] Yes ~ No ~ Not Applicable PUBLIC COAST POLICIES Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Sonthold. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 38 through 46 for evaluation criteria. ~ Yes ~ No ~ Not Applicable Insofar as Policy 9 can be applied to the current project, the project is consistent with Policy 9 because the proposed replacement of the existing structure will in no way impede or preclude public access along the adjacent shoreline. 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. See LWRP Section IH - Policies; Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation criteria. ~] Yes ~] No [~ Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 11.
