This application is to remove and dispose of existing 109' of retaining wall and construct
in-place an 85' long retaining wall with a 6' jag to 18' retaining wall, and two new 6' long
returns for a total of 121' using vinyl sheathing; remove existing 3' wide steps and
reinstall after retaining wall construction; remove and dispose of existing 60', 70' and 20'
long jetties and construct 60' long and 70' long jetties in-place using vinyl sheathing.
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 proposed action is CONSISTENT with
the policies of the LWRP as follows:
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.
While the proposed work is consistent with:
§ 275-11 Construction and operation standards.
C. In water. The following standards are required for all in-water operations adjacent to
residential properties. Operations conducted on properties zoned M1 or M2 may be
given greater flexibility in these requirements given the water-dependent nature of their
use.
(1) Jetties and groins; general rules.
(a) Only low-profile jetties as defined in § 275-11 will be permitted.
(b) Only in-place replacement of existing low-profile functional jetties and groins
(as defined in § 275-2) is permitted.
(c) Pre-backfilling of jetties and groins may be required.
(d) In order to prevent the release of metals and other contaminants into the
wetlands and waters of Southold, the use of lumber treated with chromated
copper arsenate (also known as "CCA'), creosote, penta products or homemade
wood preservatives is prohibited for use in sheathing and decking. Preservatives
of any type, including but not limited to those listed above, cannot be applied to
any jetty or groin after installation.
(e) The use of tropical hardwoods is not permitted unless it is certified by the
Forest Stewardship Council or similar organization.
(0 No new jetties or groins will be permitted unless the work results in a net
decrease in the total number of jetties in the subject area.
(g) All applicants for jetties and groins extending across the foreshore shall be
required to give and maintain a public passing way, on the landward end of the
jetty or groin, as necessary, not less than four feet in width, to enable persons to
pass and repass over said structure by steps or a ramp allowing pedestrian
passage.
Field observations and review of aerial photos indicate that replacement of the eastern
jetty may not be necessary to hold sand along this portion of the beach.
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter §268, Waterfront Consistency
