Local Law No. 5 of the year 2014
a local law to Require Consistency with the Town of Alexandria Waterfront Revitalization Program
Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Alexandria as follows:
Section I. TITLE.
This local law shall be known as the “Town of Alexandria Waterfront Consistency Review Law”.
Section II. AUTHORITY, PURPOSE AND INTENT.
A. This local law is adopted under the authority of the Municipal Home Rule Law and the Waterfront Revitalization of
Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act of the State of New York (Executive Law, Article 42)(“the Act”).
B. The purpose of this local law is to provide a means for the boards and officers of the Town of Alexandria (“Town”)
to consider the policies and purposes contained in the Town of Alexandria Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program (“LWRP”) when reviewing applications for actions or undertaking direct Town agency actions located in
the Local Waterfront Revitalization Area (“LWRA”), and to provide a means to assure that such actions are
consistent with the said policies and purposes.
C. By adopting this local law, the Town hereby declares its intention that the preservation, enhancement and
utilization of the natural and/or human-made resources of the LWRA occur in a coordinated and comprehensive
manner to ensure a proper balance between natural resources and the need to accommodate population growth
and economic development. Accordingly, this local law is intended to achieve such a balance, permitting the
beneficial use of coastal resources while preventing loss or impairment of ecosystem resources and wildlife; loss
or reduction of open space; diminution of public access to the waterfront; erosion of shoreline; loss or impairment
of scenic and historical resources; losses due to flooding, erosion and sedimentation; impairment of water quality;
and long term adverse changes to the natural and human environment of the coastal area.
D. The provisions of this local law shall only apply while an LWRP is in existence that has been adopted by the Town
and approved by the Secretary of State in accordance with Article 42 of the Executive Law of the State of New
York.

Section V. Review of Action
A. Whenever a proposed action is located within the Town's coastal area, each Town agency shall, prior to approving,

in paragraph L herein. No action in the coastal area shall be approved, funded, or undertaken by that agency without
such a determination.
B. As early as possible in a Town agency’s formulation of a direct action to be located in the Coastal Area, the Town
agency shall complete a Coastal Assessment Form (CAF) to assist the Town Board with the LWRP consistency
review. The Town Board shall prepare the CAF for any direct action by the Town.
C. Whenever an applicant prepares and submits an application for approval or funding of an action to be located in the
Coastal Area to a Town agency, the applicant shall prepare and submit a CAF as part of the application to assist the
Town Board with the LWRP consistency review.
D. The Town agency proposing an direct action to be located in the Coastal Area on its own behalf or receiving an

is consistent with the LWRP policy standards or conditions. The Town Board may, along with its consistency
recommendation, make recommendations to the Town agency concerning modification of the proposed action to

suggestions concerning modification of the proposed action to make it consistent with or to greater advance
LWRP policies or purposes. The Town Board may also provide an alternative to the proposed action, if
practicable, which would advance any of the LWRP policies or purposes.
(2) Where an action has been determined to be inconsistent with the policies or purposes of the LWRP, the Town
agency or applicant may propose modifications in writing, which if determined to be sufficient by the Town Board,
may result in a finding of consistency.
(3) Any modification agreed to by the Town agency or applicant and the Town Board shall be binding on the Town
agency, involved agency or applicant and shall be included as a condition in writing any approvals and/or
authorizations.
I.
If an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required for an action in the LWRA, the Draft EIS (DEIS) shall contain a
discussion of the effects of the action on all applicable LWRP policies and purposes. The DEIS shall be reviewed by

purposes, such action shall not be undertaken unless the Town Board certifies in writing, that the proposed action
meets all of the following four requirements:
(1) The action would be undertaken in a manner which would minimize all adverse effects on such LWRP
policies and purposes to the maximum extent practicable; and
