State Environmental Quality Review
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Oregon Warehouse Storage
Project Number: SCTM#1000-83-3-5.3 Date: March 9,2020
The Town of Southold Planning Board as lead agency has determined that the proposed action
described below will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8
(State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Conservation Law.
Name of Action: Oregon Warehouse Storage
Location:
SEQR Status: Type 1
Unlisted X
Scoping: No X Yes_ If yes, indicate how scoping will be conducted:
Description of Action:
This site plan is for the proposed construction of a±69,360 sq. ft. self-storage facility, and
includes the construction of six(6) storage buildings: three 12,000 sq. ft. 1-story buildings, two
11,880 sq. ft. 1-story buildings, and one 9,600 sq. ft. 1-story building. Also included is the
conversion of an existing 797 sq. ft. garage to an office, an existing dwelling to remain, and 20
proposed parking stalls all on 5.7 acres in the Light Industrial Zoning District.
The project is proposed to be completed in three construction phases.
SEAR Environmental Assessment Pae 12 March 9, 2020
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
1. Impact on Land
The parcel is zoned Light Industrial (LI). The purpose of the district is defined as:
"to provide an opportunity for business and industrial uses on smaller lots than would be
appropriate for the LIO Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park District. "
The parcels to the east, west and south are also zoned Light Industrial(LI). The parcels to
the north(across Oregon Road) are zoned Agriculture Conservation(AC).
The proposed warehouse storage use is consistent with the above purpose of the zoning
district. The land uses surrounding the parcel include residential and active agriculture to the
north and west and commercial and industrial uses to the east. The parcel abuts the Town of
Southold Landfill to the south.
Adverse impacts to land are expected to be low.
2. Impact on Geological Features
The proposed project,site does not contain nor is it adjacent to any unique geologic features.
3. Impacts on Surface Water
There are no surface waters within the vicinity of the parcel.
Compliance with Chapter 236 Storm Water Management of the Southold Town Code will
be required to manage storm water and sediment. The control of storm water will be
achieved on-site through the installation of 21 drywells.
Adverse impacts to surface waters are expected to be low.
4. Impact on Groundwater
1. Water Supply:
The parcel is located over the Nassau—Suffolk Sole Source aquifer and northeast of the
Special Groundwater Protection Area(SPGA). The Suffolk County Department of Health
Service has indicated that the applicant has an application(C10-19-0006)pending under
review.
The test well indicates that groundwater was encountered at 21' below grade. Therefore, no
construction limitations due to groundwater exist on-site. Suffolk County Water Authority
public water is currently located in Oregon Road and supplies the existing single family
residential structure. A new proposed water service line will be connected to the one story
frame garage that will be converted to an office for the use.No other new connection is
shown on the site plan. An in-ground pool on-site is proposed to be removed thereby
conserving potable water.
SEOR Environmental Assessment Pae 13 March 9, 2020
2. Sanitary Disposal:
The existing subsurface, sanitary system serving the single family residence will be
removed and replaced. A new conventional subsurface sanitary system is proposed.
The total calculated design density flow is 3,432 G.P.D. for the parcel. A total of 1298.2
G.P.D. is proposed for Phase I, II and III. The existing single family residence is estimated
to use 300 G.P.D. A bathroom is proposed to be added the office building; increasing the
sanitary wastewater flow on site by 47.8 G.P.D. The Phase I storage warehouse is estimated
to use 950.4 G.P.D. (note that water connections to storage/warehouse buildings are not
shown). The Phase II& II145,600 sq. ft. mini warehouse is proposed to be covenanted to
include"no flow"to the building. The total calculated flow does not exceed 600 GPD per
acre and complies with Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code.
The increase in 47.8 G.P.D sanitary flow over the existing conditions is not significant. The
Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning in a January 9, 2020
letter recommended that due to the proximity of the parcel to the SGPA the installation of a
I/A OWTS is recommended.
The impacts from sanitary waste disposal are expected to be low.
To minimize nutrient and pesticide loading into groundwater, the Planning Board will
require the following best management practices for landscaped areas on fertilizer and
pesticides as recommended by the LWRP CCR.
a. Require the use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping.
b. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble
nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture.
c. Require a maximum of 1 lb. of nitrogen per 1000 square feet in any one
application, with a cumulative application of no more than 2 lbs. per 1,000
square feet per year.
d. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen,
phosphorus, or potassium between November 1st and April lsc
e. The use of phosphorous containing lawn fertilizer is prohibited unless
establishing a new lawn or soil test shows that the lawn does not have
enough phosphorus. Fertilizer labels have three bold numbers. The
number in the middle is the percentage of phosphorus in the product, e.g.
22-0-15. Use of products with 0.67 in the middle or lower is not restricted.,
Products with a number higher than 0.67 may only be used if a new lawn
is being established or a soil test indicates it is necessary.
The Southold Town Engineer is requiring New York State Department of Transportation
(NYSDOT) Specification RCA in design to further protect groundwater quality.
The expected adverse impacts to groundwater quality are expected to be low.
SEAR Environmental Assessment Pae 14 March 9, 2020
5. Impact on Flooding
The action is not located within a floodway, 100-year floodplain or 500-year floodplain.
Drainage will be controlled via on-site control structures pursuant to Chapter 236
Stormwater Management of the Southold Town Code.
Adverse impacts on flooding are expected to be none too low.
6. Impacts on Air
Air pollution can harm human health, and damage elements of the ecosystem. Exposure to
air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary,
cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments.No significant emissions from the use are
proposed.
The movements of vehicles on site are capable of causing low levels of fugitive dust during
construction of the buildings. Once the site is developed, the majority of the land area will
be paved or occupied by buildings and impervious. Fugitive dust generated from
construction is expected to be periodic and low.
Adverse impacts on air as a result of this action are expected to be low.
7. Impacts on Plants and Animals
The parcel is not located within a New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation Critical Environmental Area or a New York State Department of State
Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area.
No significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation would occur as a
result of this action. The majority of the site is in active agriculture and has been cleared.
A line of trees follows the southern and western property boundaries. Small areas of
woodland habitats are located to the south of the parcel.
The NYSDEC Environmental Mapper was consulted and the parcel is located within a rare
plants and animals environmental designated area. The parcel area is in the vicinity of"bats
listed as endangered or threatened". This refers to the northern long-eared bat(NLEB)
(Myotis septentrionalis). It is recommended that the applicant contact Ms. Michelle
Gibbons at the NYSDEC Regional Office 631-444-0306 to determine possible occurrence
and discuss regulations pertaining to the species.
Due to the current use of the parcel, the occurrence of plant and animals on site is expected
to be low and indicative of those species encountered in neighbored settings. Species
located in the adjacent areas will be protected by management regulations if necessary.
Landscaping on site will be provided to screen the buildings and within the parking area. A
total landscaped area equal to 25 percent is required and 25.55 percent is proposed. Sixty
seven blue spruce trees or American holly will be required.
SEAR Environmental Assessment Pae 15 March 9, 2020
Adverse impacts to existing plants and animals are expected to be none too low.
8. Impact on Agricultural Resources
The parcel is designated within an Agricultural District Suffolk 01. The parcel is cleared,
and in active agriculture and residential use.
On-site dominate soil groups include Riverhead Sandy Loam (Prime and Statewide
Importance) and to a lesser extent Plymouth Loamy Sand(Prime). Lesser areas of Haven
Loam (Statewide Importance) soils occur in the north east of the parcel. All of the soils on
site are listed as prime agricultural soils or soils of statewide importance.
The soil groups are well suited for all crops. The potential of erosion is slight. Soils
characteristics or slopes on site will not impede development. The preservation of prime
agricultural soils or soils of statewide importance in Southold has been largely attributed to
the continued practice of farming, however,the conversion of prime agricultural soils to
non-agricultural uses results in perpetual loss. Areas of prime and statewide importance
agricultural soils will be impacted and lost. The loss of these soils is inevitable with the
proposed light industrial use of a Storage Facility/Warehouse which requires large
buildings and areas of pavement.
The permanent loss of agricultural soils will result if the action is approved.
9. Impacts on Cultural/Archeological Resources
The site will be disturbed through development of the parcel, including impact to soil layer
structure. The NYS Cultural Resource System(CRIS)was referenced and it was
determined that there are no archeological or cultural resources occurring on or near the
parcel.
Expected impacts to cultural/archeological resources are therefore, expected to be low.
10. Impacts on Aesthetic Resources
The proposed storage buildings are large and are proposed to be a maximum height
of 31' in height to the peak. Copulas on each of the buildings will increase the
height another 9.8 feet. The total height of each building in Phase I is 40.80 feet.
The storage buildings in Phases I through III are less in height at 32.80 feet.
The parcel is located south and east of scenic resources important to the community
(Oregon Road and Depot Lane). It is not visible from an officially designated scenic
resource by a governmental agency.
The parcel is not located adjacent or near New York State Route 25, a New York
State Designated Scenic Byway, however, it is located south of the Oregon Road
and east of Depot Lane. These roads have been identified as providing scenic
qualities that are important to the public for their rural qualities and open space
view sheds.
SEQR Environmental Assessment Pae 16 March 9, 2020
The parcel occurs to the south of Oregon Road and the storage buildings will be
visible to users traveling east. Site plan design has minimized adverse impacts to
the scenic resource experienced by the users: The storage buildings are set back
from the road and screened by 3'- 4' blue spruce trees and the existing house and
garage structures on site will be integrated into the use. The conversion of the
existing house and garage on the parcel to the office for the facility supports
retaining the scenic qualities of Oregon Road. The adverse impacts to scenic
qualities of Oregon Road are expected to be low.
The parcel occurs to the east of Depot Lane and the storage buildings will be visible
in the distance to users travelling north and south(looking east). Views to the east
are currently of open space and actively farmed lands. Potential adverse impacts to
scenic view sheds from Depot Lane will be mitigated by the distance of the
buildings to the road and the installation of trees 40 feet on center along the west
property boundary. The parcels to the west of the parcel are zoned LI and LIO with
development rights intact. Future build out of these parcels are expected to obscure
the development on the subject parcel.
Adverse visual impacts to the scenic view sheds will be partially minimized by distance
from Depot Lane to the parcel and the vegetative screening proposed to minimize the
disruption of the scenic resource from Oregon Road.
Adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to be low.
11. Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The site does not currently offer public recreational opportunities. Future recreational
opportunities could be achieved, however, due to location; the likelihood of the land area
being converted for recreational use}s low.
12. Impact on Critical Environmental Areas
The site is not located within the NYSDEC Critical Environmental Area.
13. Impact on Transportation
The storage building use is not a large trip generator. Access to the site is achieved from
Depot Lane, Cox lane and Oregon Road. Access from Depot Lane and Cox Lane to Oregon
Road originates from County Route 48. Both of the intersections are signalized.
An increase in vehicle trip generation or patterns over existing conditions on Oregon Road
is expected. Oregon Road is a collector road that is used by residents and farmers and the
impact from vehicle trip generation is expected to be low. A routing plan for vehicles
accessing the site is not proposed.
A total of 80 parking spaces are required and 81 are provided. Four ADA parking spaces
are shown. Sixty-one parking spaces of the 80 required are proposed to be land banked.
SEQR Environmental Assessment Pae 17 March 9, 2020
Adverse impacts to transportation/traffic are expected to be low.
14. Impact on Energy
The storage facility is not expected to create a moderate to large demand on energy.
Energy use will be reduced through the use of LED WPLED26 3000K lighting with
operation from dusk to 10:OOPM.
Further solar energy generation is proposed on the buildings.
Energy use is expected to be low.
15. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light ,
Noise currently results from normal activities associated with the use on-site.Noise
resulting from the construction is expected to be short term in duration and periodic.Noise
from the operation of the facility is not expected to adversely affect receptors.
Odors capable of affecting the quality of life or health of employees from the construction
or operation of the proposed action are not expected.
A Site Lighting Plan(2019)has been submitted. LED 3000K wall packs are proposed to
operate between dusk and 10:00PM. The total number of lights is not provided however,
the plan shows no light trespass onto adjacent properties. Lighting on site will comply with
Chapter 172. Lighting, Outdoor in the Southold Town Code and will not adversely impact
adjacent properties or the night sky.
Adverse impacts on noise, odor, and light are expected to be low.
15. Impact on Human Health
No substantial hazard to human health is expected to occur as a result of this proposed
action. Storm water is expected to be adequately controlled pursuant to a Chapter 236
Stormwater of the Southold Town Code .
Adverse impacts to human health are expected to be low.
16. Consistency with Community Plans
The action complies with the Southold Town Code and is not in significant conflict with the
Southold Town Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy(2000) and Community
Preservation Project Plan(2016 update). The Suffolk County Planning Commission
approved the action with several comments including the use of an I/A OWTS,Natural
Vegetation and Green Methodologies, Dark sky lighting and alternative energy.
The action was recommended as CONSISTENT with the Town of Southold Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program Policies in a January 15, 2020 memorandum.
SEQR Environmental Assessment Pae 8 March 9, 2020
Adverse impacts of the proposed action bn the consistency of community plans are expected
to be low.
17. Consistency with Community Character
The character of the community is comprised of light industrial uses, working farms and
active agriculture and open space:The Town of Southold landfill occurs to the south of the
parcel.
Two fire hydrants will be required on-site as determined by the Cutchogue Fire District.
The proposed action is not expected to create moderate to large demand for additional
community services (police and fire). A low impact would occur to the public schools.
The proposal is not significantly inconsistent with the community character of the area.
