The proposed action has been reviewed under 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 proposed action is CONSISTENT with the policies of the
LWRP as follows:
Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and
erosion
4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion
hazards
A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and
structures away from flooding and erosion hazards.
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold.
5.1 Prohibit direct or indirect discharges that would cause or contribute to
contravention of water quality standards.
C. Ensure effective treatment of sanitary sewage and industrial discharges
by:
3. modifying existing sewage treatment facilities to provide
improved nitrogen removal capacity.
Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold's
ecosystem
6.3. Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands.
A. Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements of the Southold
Town Board of Trustees laws and regulations for all Andros Patent and
other lands under their jurisdiction
This proposed action is on a lot with the Fishers Island Sound in the backyard and
freshwater wetlands on the east and west sides of the property.
The proposed action is consistent with Policy 4.1.A, which encourages structures to be
away from flooding and erosion hazards. There are high-risk flooding hazards on the
parcel within the FEMAAE flood zone (West) and the FEMA VE flood zone (North and
East). There is also a Coastal Erosion Hazard Area on the coast of the Long Island
Sound. The proposed residence is not located in any of these hazardous zones,
minimizing the loss of life and structures.
The proposed installation of an I/A OWTS is consistent with Policy 5.1.C.3, which calls
for the replacement of existing sewage treatment facilities with one that improves
nitrogen removal capacity. The proposed Innovative/Alternative Onsite Wastewater
Treatment System (I/A OWTS) will reduce nitrogen inputs into adjacent waters.
The proposed action is consistent with Policy 6.3.A, which states that actions must
comply with the Southold Town Board of Trustees' laws and regulations. Moving the
building footprint back from the wetland boundaries will allow the proposed residence to
meet the wetland setbacks from Town Code Chapter §275-3(D)(1)(a)[1] Residence: 100
feet. The proposed leaching pools and I/A OWTS system also meet their wetland
setbacks from Town Code Chapter §275-3(D)(1)(a), which are 100 ft. for the leaching
pool and 75 ft. for the septic system.
The proposed action has been reviewed under Chapter §268, Waterfront Consistency
Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program (LWRP) Policy Standards.
