The applicant shall consult with the necessary agencies to review the possibility of additional permits, including general or individual permits that may be required for specific activities. Authority Consistent with Connecticut General Statues ,Chapter 444, Secs. 22a-90 to 22a-113j, Waterford’s Planning and Zoning Commission, acting in the capacity of the Town’s Zoning Commission, regulates certain activities upon properties which lie completely or partially within the coastal area as defined by CGS §22a-94(b). Specifically, the Commission’s is authorized, cited in part, by the following: Sec. 22a-105. Coastal site plan reviews. (a) Coastal municipalities shall undertake coastal site plan reviews in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. (b) The following site plans, plans and applications for activities or projects to be located fully or partially within the coastal boundary and landward of the mean high water mark shall be defined as “coastal site plans” and shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter: (1) Site plans submitted to a zoning commission in accordance with section 22a-109; (2) plans submitted to a planning commission for subdivision or resubdivision in accordance with section 8-25 or with any special act; (3) applications for a special exception or special permit submitted to a planning commission, zoning commission or zoning board of appeals in accordance with section 8-2 or with any special act; (4) applications for a variance submitted to a zoning board of appeals in accordance with subdivision (3) of section 8-6 or with any special act, and (5) a referral of a proposed municipal project to a planning commission in accordance with section 8-24 or with any special act. iS.

Identification of Potential Adverse Impacts on Coastal Resources Please complete this section for all projects. Identify the adverse impact categories below that apply to the proposed project or activity. The applicable column must be checked if the proposed activity has the potential to generate any adverse impacts as defined in CGS Section 22a-93(15). If an adverse impact may result from the proposed project or activity, please use Part VIII to describe what project design features may be used to eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the potential for adverse impacts. Mitigation Potential Adverse Impacts on Coastal Resources Applicable. Not Applicable Proposed i. Degrading tidal wetlands, beaches and dunes, rocky shorefronts, and bluffs and escarpments [ | | [ | through significant alteration of their natural characteristics or functions ii. Increasing the hazard of coastal flooding through significant alteration of shoreline configurations or [ | S| [ | bathymetry, particularly within high velocity flood zones - CGS Section 22a-93(15)(E) iii.
