2019-03-024 TOWN OF SOUTH KINGSTOWN — Construct and maintain a 350’ long steel sheetpile seawall with concrete cap and riprap toe protection to be constructed within the Town’s right-of-way along Matunuck Beach Road. The purpose of the proposed seawall is to protect Matunuck Beach Road and associated Town infrastructure from shoreline erosion. The project represents Phase 2 of the Town’s infrastructure project for this section of Matunuck Beach Road whereby Phase 1 consisted of 200’ long segment of similar seawall construction immediately to the east which was permitted by the CRMC in July 2012 and completed during the summer of 2018. As with phase 1, the project requires a special exception from 650-RICR-20-00-1.3.1(G)(3)(a) for the construction of structural shoreline protection bordering Type 1 waters (see § 1.2.1(A)(3)(c) of this Subchapter). Also replace water main and pavement along limits of seawall construction. The project further requires a setback variance where the proposed seawall is located inland of the coastal feature but designed to function as structural shoreline protection within the applicable setback. The Town has requested a special exception and a variance for the proposed project. Located on Matunuck Beach Road in South Kingstown.
