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 LWRP Section III- Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria ❑ Yes ❑ No ® Not Applicable 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 ❑ 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 III-Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria ❑ Yes ❑ No ® Not Applicable 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 ❑ Not Applicable To the extent that Policy 5 is applicable,the project is consistent because the dock will be constructed with untreated,open-grate decking. 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 ❑ Not Applicable LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM ADDENDUM FOR BENJAMIN& SIOBHAN MORDEN 801 MAPLE LANE SOUTHOLD,NY SCTM#1000-64-1-30.2 POLICY 6 Although floating dock structures are common along the shorelines of Town Creek to the immediate south,the subject property is located near the northerly end of the most northeast arm of Town Creek, where the water shallows and vegetated tidal wetlands are abundant to the north of the project site. Therefore,the proposed"kayak dock" is intended to provide a fixed point of elevated structural access over the existing vegetated wetland to allow for dockage and use of small watercraft, such as a kayaks, canoes, and dinghies in water that is too shallow at low tide to accommodate a floating dock and larger boats. Without such a fixed point of structural access, small watercraft would need to be dragged through the vegetated wetland, creating the potential for the loss of wetlands vegetation along the shoreline. Many similar fixed docks/walkways have been approved by the Board of Trustees throughout Richmond Creek where similarly shallow waters are common, and although never constructed, the Trustees have twice previously approved substantially similar dock structures for the subject property in 2006 (Wetlands Permit 6369) and 2015 (Wetlands Permit 8695). And consistent with these prior approvals,to mitigate any potential impacts of the project on the adjacent tidal wetland area and Town waters,the proposed dock structure is again designed with the,minimal scope necessary to reach at least 12 inches of water depth at mean low tide; would be elevated and constructed with open-grate decking to allow sunlight to penetrate both through and beneath the dock to ensure the continued viability of vegetation below it; would be located at least 15 feet from the laterally extended southerly property line; and would encroach upon less than one-fourth the width of the waterway. The proposed dock would thus not adversely impact public navigation or recreational use of Town Creek; cause a"fragmentation of ecological communities;"result in the physical loss, degradation, or functional loss of ecological components; or otherwise adversely impact the wetlands or tidal waters of the Town, consistent both with the construction and operation standards for docks set forth by Town Code Section 275-11(C)(2) and Policy 6 of the LWRP. r -See attached addendum- 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 Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 38 through 46 for evaluation criteria. ® Yes ❑ No❑ Not Applicable Due to the property's location at the most northerly end of Town Creek and the surrounding shallow water depths and wetland vegetation,there is little to no potential for navigational or pedestrian traffic passing the site.Nonetheless,the structure would be set back at least 15 feet from the laterally extended southerly lot line,consistent with Town Code Section 275-11(C)(2)(a)(5),and it would encroach upon less than one-fourth the width of the waterway,consistent with Town Code Section 275-11(C)(2)(b)(2),both to ensure there will be no impacts to public navigation or recreational use of Town Creek,consistent with Policy 9. Attach additional sheets if necessary WORKING COAST POLICIES A Policy 10. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water-dependent uses in suitable locations. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 47 through 56 for evaluation criteria. ❑ Yes ❑ No ® Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 11. Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound, the Peconic Estuary and Town waters. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 57 through 62 for evaluation criteria. ❑Yes ❑ No ® Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 12. Protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Pages 62 through 65 for evaluation criteria. ❑ Yes ❑ No ® Not Applicable Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 13. Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral resources.
