Located: 18075 Soundview Ave., Southold. SCTM#51-1-8 Inspected by: Peter Meeker, Keith McCamy The CAC does Not Support the application based on the following: The Trustees have established a pattern of approvals for this area and the CAC cannot support this application because of the vehement disapproval of the consultant and engineering plans of hardening the bluff from bottom to top. Three (3) applications for shoreline stabilization have been approved in this area within the last five (5) years-and are being used as a precedent by the consultant to cause continuous hardening and interruptions of littoral sand flow, and like a domino effect, the neighbors will suffer from continuous erosion problems as a result of these projects. Chapter 111-Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas, prohibits mining or excavation from bottom to tops of bluffs for major projects. The application lacks details regarding the 234 cy. of sand being extricated from the lower bluff face to support;the top off bluff. A more comprehensive erosion plan should be required due to the sensitivity of the area and not by a piecemeal approach.
