Located: 4718 Great Peconic Bay Boulevard, Laurel. SCTM# 128-4-17 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 proposal to construct approximately 66 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead in-place of existing timber bulkhead and backfill/re-nourish storm eroded embankment landward of bulkhead with approximately 150 cubic yards of clean fill to be planted with native vegetation and maintained as a non-turf buffer is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. Further, it is my recommendation that the proposal to reconstruct existing +3'x28' walkway and 7'x8' deck behind bulkhead reconstruct existing 3'x13' steps with platform to beach; maintain existing 3'x28' stairway with landings down embankment is INCONSISTENT with LWRP Policies 6.3 (below) and therefore, INCONSISTENT with the LWRP. 6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands. Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements of the Southold Tow ~ Board of Trustees laws and regulations for all Andros Patent and other lands under their judsdiction , 1. Comply with Trustee regulations and recommendations as set forth in Trustee permit conditions. , The above noted structures were constructed without Board of Tr[J~stees review or permit. , Further, the proposal to reconstruct existing +3'x28' walkway and ~'x8' deck behind the bulkhead is not a permissible action. The proposed deCtking would equal 140 sq. ft and 275-11 Construction and operation standards regulations limit the decking size to 100 sq. ft. All other platforms must be located landward of the top-of- bluff. , Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
