CEHA -Julia Mavellia- 1525 North Sea Drive, Southold,New York
WHEREAS, applicant Julia Mavellia,by her agent Dominic Mavellia,by application dated
June 25, 2026 and received July 9, 2026, appealed to the Town Board of the Town of
Southold, sitting as Coastal Erosion Hazard Area Board of Review, from the Board of
Trustees' June 15, 2026 denial of a Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (CEHA)Permit for the as-
built, in-place reconstruction of an existing 645 square-foot raised deck with stairs at 1525
North Sea Drive, Southold,New York(SCTM# 1000-54-4-17), under Section 111 of the
Coastal Erosion Hazard Area Law (the "Law"), or in the alternative sought a variance; and
WHEREAS, on August 25, 2026, the Town Board conducted a duly noticed public hearing
on the appeal at which all interested parties were heard and testimony was taken of the
applicant's consultant; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees, by determination dated July 8, 2026, approved a
Wetland Permit under Chapter 275 for the same deck and stairs, as depicted on the site plan
of Charles W. Kuehn, Architect, received June 29, 2026 and stamped approved July 8,
2026; and
WHEREAS, under § 111-9 of the Law a permit issues only upon findings that the activity
is reasonable and necessary, is not likely to cause a measurable increase in erosion, and
prevents or minimizes adverse effects on natural protective features, and §§ I I1-13 and
111-16(C) accord dunes the greatest protective value, allow only nonmajor additions to
existing structures in dune areas, and require that dune crossings be elevated; the Town
Board finds the as-built deck and stairs satisfy § 111-9, while the wood-framed walkway
laid through the dune does not, such that its removal is necessary to satisfy the Law and
resolve the LWRP Policy 4.2 inconsistency; and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed pursuant to Chapter 268, Waterfront
Consistency Review, of the Town Code and the :Local Waterfront Revitalization:Program;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board finds that the proposed action is a Type II Action not
subject to review under the SEQRA Rules and Regulations; and be it further
RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby adopts the Findings and Determination dated
August 25, 2026, and GRANTS the application of Julia Mavellia for a Coastal Erosion
Hazard Area Permit pursuant to Chapter 111-20 of the Law for the as-built deck and stairs
approved by the Board of Trustees on July 8, 2026, upon the express CONDITION that the
wood-framed walkway (wooden platform) extending from the concrete walkway to the
beach and bluff line, approximately ninety (90) feet in length,be removed; and be it further
RESOLVED that this Determination shall not affect or deprive any other agency of its
properly asserted jurisdiction, separate and apart from the proceedings under the Coastal
Erosion Hazard Areas Law considered herein.
