DEVELOPED COAST.pOLICY Policy 1 ·F°ster 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 [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable As indicated within Policy 1, 'Development that does not reinforce the traditional land use pattern of the Town of Southold would result in a loss of the community and landscape character of Southold.", this proposal is to simply reconstruct the existin.q Shed & Deckina currently located alon~l the shoreline of subiect property to a location further landward and away from the shoreline. This Shed & Decking1 have harmoniously existed upon this site for several decades. The Shed benefits under a Certificate of Occupancy over the Drooertv, and the Decking1 benefits from a previous Southold Board of Trustees. Consequently, these items could be reconstructed/repaired 'as-of-ri~lht" in their current location. Further, review of the surroundin.q nei~lhborinffi properties indicates structures of similar nature in similar locations (i.e., along the shoreline) of similar size, if not much laraer, which have existed without adversely impacting1 the surroundin.q environment. With respect to the proposed Rock Revetment, this form af development (i.e., shoreline protection) is commonplace in Southold, most prevalent in the form of bulkheadina. This application is instead for the placement of Stone aloha the shoreline, auamented by additional clean sand and ve~letated with natural plantin.qs, providing1 a more environmental-fTiendly approach to this type of development. Consequently, we believe that this Droiect is compliant with this Policy. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 2.
