The change of zone will provide the opportunity to construct up to eight affordable housing rental units on the parcel under the ownership and management of the Walsh Park Benevolent Corporation in collaboration with the Fishers Island Union Free School District. The School District is the current property owner.' I have a letter from the Suffolk county department of economic development and planning, the planning commission considers this to be a matter for local determination as there is no apparent significant county-wide or inter-communities impacts and notes that the consideration for local determination should not be construed as either an approval or disapproval. I do have a letter here from the Fishers Island Community Board, dated October 2, 2020. 'Members of the Town Board, Subsequent to the letter submitted by me on behalf of the elected representatives of the Fishers Island Community Board to the Town Board dated September 27, 2020, many positive things have happened that cause us to provide this follow-up letter. On September 28, half of the ICB elected representatives, including its president, vice president and treasurer met via Zoom conference with leadership counterparts from Walsh Park Benevolent Corporation (Walsh Park), the proposing party in the potential zoning change, and the intended prospective purchaser of the property. Then, on September 29, two of those ICB representatives corresponded and spoke with one of the heads of the Fort Wright Neighborhood to discuss the opportunities ahead. From those productive conversations on the 28th and 29th and from reports after that evening's meeting among members of the Fort Wright Neighborhood Association, Walsh Park and architectural design representatives, the ICB feels confident that the parties will be able to achieve common ground towards a solution for the property. Walsh Park has reiterated its commitment to meet with any concerned citizens to address and allay their concerns. Likewise, the neighbors seem willing to pursue a compromise solution. Further, a working relationship has been established between the president of Walsh Park and the president of the Fort Wright Neighborhood Association. All of these are positive recent developments. The first step in the process to move forward, as clarified to us in our September 28 discussion with Walsh Park, is the approval of the proposed zoning change. The ICB frilly respects the Town's authority and established zoning process. We now request that the October 6, 2020 zoning hearing should proceed according to its original schedule. We have confidence, knowing that there are several subsequent steps that allow the Island community to participate in the ultimate approval process, including a subdivision application, working with Planning and Zoning, the formal property sale referendum, as well as continued work to hone and present final Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 24 architectural renderings, that Walsh Park will work towards a thoughtful approach that ultimately balances the Island's and neighbors needs. The ICB wishes to continue to work closely with both Walsh Park and the Fort Wright Neighborhood Association. We recommend that both parties utilize the established and successful Island Community Board forum to further educate the Fishers Island public about all phases of the project. The ICB is ready to help provide clarity on the project to our broader community with an eye toward achieving consensus. Thank you for your additional consideration.Willard B. Soper, president, on behalf of the elected representatives of the Island Community Board.' COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: There are a lot of letters. TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: The rest of them are on laserfiche. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: This one is the applicants amendment of the change of zone, with lower density. This is dated October 5, it is from their representative attorney's office. 'Dear Supervisor Russell and members of the Town Board, Please accept this correspondence for the record of the application by the Walsh Park Benevolent Corporation (Walsh Park) for a change of zoning classification for a portion of the above referenced property to hamlet density which is scheduled for a public hearing on October 6, 2020. To address the concerns raised by certain Fishers Island residents and members of the Fort Wright Neighborhood Association regarding the density of the proposed affordable housing development and potential impacts to traffic and infrastructure. Walsh Park would like to further amend its application to reduce the proposed density to four (4) dwelling units, each consisting of not more than three bedrooms. Walsh Park concedes that, should the Town Board grant their application, the enactment of the change of zone will be conditioned upon the filing of a covenant restricting density to that number of units in perpetuity that may only be occupied by year-round residents of Fishers Island. Thank you for your consideration. Martin Finnegan' There is a Planning Board memo here that notes that MC correction on the change of zone from our Plaiuiing Board office. They made some corrections, these corrections do not alter the position of support by the Planning Board for the proposal, the hamlet density zoning district supports one unit per 10.000 square feet or .23 acres with public water and sewer available. the proposed yield is less than the maximum permitted under the hamlet density zoning district. And I believe, this just came in, 'The Fort Wright Neighborhood Association and undersigned residents of Fishers Island agree that they will support the change of zone application for Walsh Park Benevolent Corporation from the school district parcel provided that the Walsh Park agrees that it shall add as a restricted covenant to be recorded with the property purchased by Walsh Park that not more than 4 dwelling units, each consisting of not more than three bedrooms shall be built on such parcel. We understand that it is the objective of Walsh Park to design buildings of size and scale appropriate for the Winthrop Drive neighborhood.' And this is signed by several folks. That is all I have. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. I would ask anybody that would like to speak on this local law to please feel free? TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Supervisor, I see that the applicants attorney is present. Do you want to hear from him first? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 25 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The applicants attorney? TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Can you bring over Martin Finnegan? MODERATOR: Yes, I can. One moment. Mr. Finnegan, I am bringing you across as a panelist. MARTIN FINNEGAN: Good evening everybody, Martin Finnegan, Twomey, Latham, Shea et al. I am here this evening representing the Walsh Park Benevolent Corporation which is a not- for-profit corporation whose mission is to promote the viability of the year round community on Fishers Island by creating an inventory of attractive and affordable housing. I am joined this evening by members of the Walsh Park Board including the co-presidents Ned Carlson and Andrew Burr. I know they are not here as panelists but they are available if there are any questions later on. Walsh Park has presented an application tot he Town Board to change the zoning and classification to a portion of the subject property located at the southeast side of Winthrop Avenue at the intersection with Equestrian Avenue on Fishers Island from R-40 to hamlet density to clear the way for the construction of four units of affordable housing for year round residents. As the Town Board is aware, Fishers Island is unique among the hamlets in the town due to its remote location and limited accessability, only by ferry or air. The current year round population is about 230 people, these are the people that must provide the emergency services, they must run the utilities, the schools and sustain the businesses on Fishers Island. That majority of the homes on the island are seasonal second homes and the inventory of winterized family housing available for purchase or rent is extremely low. As such,the viability of the year round community which is comprised of residents that provide essential services on Fishers Island is in jeopardy in the absence of additional housing opportunities. Walsh Park is making the application to create housing for year round residents who are the active contributing members of the community. As the Town Board is also aware, the lack of affordable housing is not a new problem on Fishers Island or anywhere in the town for that matter. The low inventory of affordable housing was identified as a key issue of concern in the Fishers Island strategic plan, the hamlet study and reiterated in the recently adopted comprehensive plan. This particular parcel was identified by the Fishers Island land use working group in 2014 as an appropriate location for year round affordable housing. It can not be disputed that the most cost effective way to create affordable housing is to build multi-family units which make more efficient use of the land that is in the hamlet zone. Under the current zoning however, the minimum lot size is 40,000 square feet with a parcel yield of at most three lots. Due to the existing development, there is no ability to add density to the parcel. In contrast, HD zoning regulations only require 10,000 square feet per unit and as such a change of zone would allow the added density needed for four additional dwelling units. I note, as Councilman Ghosio mentioned earlier, Walsh Park initially applied for a change of zone to construct eight units on approximately 2.4 acres. In February of this year, the application was amended to reduce the proposed density to six units. And following extensive discussion with neighboring land owners and members of the Fort Worth Neighborhood Association to address concerns regarding potential impacts from the proposed construction, Walsh Park once again agreed to reduce the requested density to four units and a letter to that effect amending our application was submitted to the Board and acknowledged by Bob. I mentioned also the subject property is owned by the Fishers Island Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 26 Union Free School district and consists of 3.82 acres, .95 or about a quarter of which is already in the HD zoning district. All of the properties to the west of the subject property along with Whistler are also in the HD district. A little background, Walsh Park is in negotiations with the school board to purchase a portion of the subject property, however, the purchase is conditioned on Walsh Park's ability to obtain approval of the change of zone application and approval from the Planning Board to subdivide the property into four conforming lots. At present the parcel is partially improved with two, two family homes on the HD portion of the property and two single family homes in the R-40 section. Walsh Park is seeking the change of zone to HD of the remainder of the parcel to enable them to add the required density for the affordable housing units on the lot to be created by the subdivision of the parcel. I have, the site plan is part of our application and I had requested to be able to put that up if the Town Board would like just to have the visual of the parcel and what we are talking about. The eventual subdivision, if approved, would separate the existing development which would be the two parcels on the northern side of the property and the two homes on the southern part into,they would be three conforming lots, HD lots to the north and yeah, I am assuming you can see that, so you can see the eventual subdivision would cut this property up into what would be, creating two conforming lots for the single family homes on Winthrop and then conforming 40,000 square foot lot to the south and the remainder of the parcel, that 2.4 acre approximately would be where the additional units would be constructed. The change of zone, though, of the parcel is just the first step in the approval process. The ultimate development of this parcel that is, and obviously, this site plan that is before you has not been amended to reflect the amendment to the application down to the four units. That will obviously happen if we are allowed to move forward to subdivision site plan process. but in addition to subdivision approval, there's residential site plan approval that's required as well as a public referendum of the school district residents to approve the sale of the property to Walsh Park. So in accordance with the procedure set forth in the town code rezoning amendments, the Planning Board reviewed Walsh Parks application and issued a report dated August I Oth that supported this change of zone. and I believe Councilman Ghosio mentioned that is a part of the record of this proceeding. The report prepared by the Planning Board does an excellent job of analyzing the existing zoning and parcels compatability with HD zoning. Sol am not going to rehash that or read that for the record but I just want to highlight some of the salient points the Planning Board relied on in reaching its recommendation to the Town Board to allow the change of zone here. First, the Planning Board pointed out that the purpose of HD zoning is to provide a mixed of housing type on parcels within a half mile of the hamlet centers. The Planning Board noted that the subject property generally meets the purpose by its location by about a half mile of the hamlet center of Fishers Island with good access to the ferry, the community center and the school. The proposed dwelling units will have access to public water and sewers and potential impacts to transportation, water supply and quality, community character and services are all substantially mitigated by the agreed upon reduction of density from the allowable eight units to four. The Planning Board also noted that the proposed change of zone will have positive social and economic impacts by creating this opportunity to construct affordable housing for year round residents who are integral to sustaining emergency services and providing employees for critical and essential services to Fishers Island residents. And the Planning Board confirmed that the change of zone meets the Planning Boards goals of dispersing affordable housing units throughout the town and supports the goals and efforts of the Fishers Island strategic plan and the newly adopted comprehensive plan. So, its Walsh Parks intention Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 27 that there is a clear need to find a balance between the overwhelming inventory of seasonal residences with skyrocketing values and the ever shrinking number of affordable year round homes. Walsh Park acknowledges that as with any development there are potential impacts. Impacts to the surrounding community due to traffic, groundwater, all these things. We prepared and submitted a power point presentation for the Town Board as part of the record which seeks to address some of those concerns or many of those concerns that were raised by residents regarding potential impacts and I invite the Town Board to view that but the belief is and Walsh Parks intention is that most if not all of those concerns and the Planning Board acknowledges in its recommendation are really mitigated by the reduction in density of the project. And obviously we would acknowledge that moving forward, should this more forward, and with the application for subdivision site approval and residential site approval, the extent that there are any impacts would clearly be mitigated through those approval processes. Just to conclude, Walsh Park submits that the change of zone classification of the balance of the subject parcel from R-40 to HD is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and is consistent with the needs of the year round residents of the community on Fishers Island. So we would respectfully request that the Town Board grant the request and allow the change of zone, understanding that this is just the first step in the process and there is much work to do and at this point I would just remain available to answer any questions that a Town Board member may have, also, as I mentioned, members of the Walsh Park board are also available if needed. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: One quick procedural question, you are asking for change of zone with conditions for a reduction in density. Can these conditions just be part of the referendum offered up for vote at the school level? In other words, conditions can be placed, covenants can be placed on the property at any time. There is no necessity at the change of zone level. MR. FINNEGAN: That is true, that they can be put on at any time. Walsh Park did agree to the condition, first and foremost to the year round residency and then to the reduction in density. it is my understanding that that type of condition has been implemented in other change of zones that have been brought before the town. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Would anyone like to address the Town Board on this particular public hearing? MODERATOR: Just as a reminder, if you would like to speak you can use the raise hand button on the zoom function, if you are a telephone attendee, you can use the *9 button, that raises your hand and thirdly you can use the q and a box to type a question or share a comment that way. At this time, there is one raised hand. MS. SCOTT: I am actually on the ferry right now. We did see the presentation that was put forward by Walsh Park just a few days ago, however, they had mentioned four single family units. Now here they want to do two single family units and two multi-family units or am I hearing that incorrectly? MR. FINNEGAN: Would you like me to address that? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 28 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. MR. FINNEGAN: It's four dwelling units. So, how they get broken up, the application as originally, we had four buildings with two, for two family homes, now we are down to four dwelling units whether that is four single family units or two or three structures with two in one or the other, I think we will defer to the Planning Board's direction on that but the proposed density is four dwelling units with no more than three bedrooms each. MS. SCOTT: Okay, because they absolutely did say they would be single family homes. MR. FINNEGAN: It might be but there will be no more than four dwellings. MS. SCOTT: I just want to put it on record that I vehemently oppose the entire project. Living right there, it would be abutting my property. That's all. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on this public hearing? MODERATOR: One second. I am having some window issues. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Can I ask a question while we are waiting, Martin? Where is the line, you said was abutting HD? I couldn't see it on that map. MR. FINNEGAN: It cuts across, Jim, if you have access to the Planning Board report... COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: No but I have the zoning map. MR. FINNEGAN: It cuts across the southern, there is a diagonal line if you are looking at the survey, the southern portion of the property and the entire part that juts down, that's all HD and then it goes, it kind of arcs over, it kind of goes like this, the zoning line through the bottom half of the middle of the property. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay. MR. FINNEGAN: It's an oddly placed... COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Yes, it seems odd it didn't go by lot lines. MR. FINNEGAN: It's not unusual in town as we all know, oddly placed zoning lines. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay. Thank you. MODERATOR: One moment, my computer is not working, bear with me as I try to figure this out. My entire keyboard is frozen. There was one other hand raised. Okay,the next hand raised is RDE. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 29 BOB EVANS: Hi, it's Bob Evans from Fishers Island and I would like to read my letter sent to you this morning if that is permitted? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. MR. EVANS: 'Last Tuesday, a mere week before the Town Board's public hearing,the Fort Wright Neighborhood Association was presented with a scaled down proposal. Though hailed as a constructive compromise, it was in all respects, a coerced agreement. Armed with a unanimous Planning Board endorsement for a more intense development, Walsh Park essentially offered two options: support our application for a change of zone and we will reduce the scope of development, oppose it and we will pursue the original plan. It was a choice of the lesser of two evils. If the Town Board condones this proposal, it will invite certain future mischief. Zoning has many functions among which is the defense of overdevelopment. But if zoning is treated reactively and arbitrarily, it will quickly be overrun. The current exodus from cities has greatly increased the appetite for real estate and development. By all accounts communities like Southold are experiencing a 25% influx of demand. It is not the time to dismantle the effectiveness of zoning. Additionally, the Walsh Park change of zone cannot be justified by principle. Zoning is the codification of ownership rights. An owner submits to property restrictions in exchange for the assurance that neighbors will be equally restricted. Together such restrictions preserve neighborhood character and provide a guarantee for future enjoyment. Such a contract should survive all but the most essential challenges. Walsh Park has not proved the 'urgent' need nor has the town required them to do so. Lastly, the Island Community Board a week ago Sunday issued a letter to the Board sensibly calling for a pause. It properly argued that many broad issues had not received sufficient attention, that inadequate but needed data had not been collected and that both the island and the Town Board were insufficiently informed to render a good decision. Further, the agreement between the school and Walsh Park could easily be extended without harm. These are sensible and practical points that are just as valid despite Island Community Boards retraction. There is no need to rush. When ownership rights are assaulted by special interest, individuals depend on their elected government to affirm their rights. The Town Board can fulfill this responsibility by either denying or at least postponing the Walsh Park application.' Thank you. I just do want to add that this whole process has seemed imbalanced from start to finish. Walsh Park has effectively gotten the ear of the Planning Board and the Town Board and has behaved in a very aggressive way. I think many important things have been overlooked as a result and frankly all of the Walsh Park assertions can be justifiably challenged and should be, and that should be done in a public forum which has not been allowed to happen. Thank you. MODERATOR: Thank you for that. There is another hand raised. The next hand raised is Mark Borden. MARK BORDEN: Good evening, this is Mark Borden. I am a resident of Fishers Island, adjacent to the subject property. As I think most of you know, I was the author of several letters initially objecting to this project, signed by multiple neighbors of mine whose primary objection was to the size and scale of the project, initially eight units then six. We do now support the proposal for just four units on the property. We do however, echoing what Mr. Finnegan had Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 30 said, want to be clear that, our understanding is that a condition to the zoning will be Walsh Park recording a restricting covenant restricting development to four three bedroom dwelling units and that is an important part to this rezoning, for obvious reasons. But with that, I think, we support the project. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board? MODERATOR: Okay, there is another hand up. STEWART CUTLER: Stewart Cutler speaking. Good evening and thank you for the opportunity to speak. I just had wanted to address the group, the Fort Wright Neighborhood Association which was created earlier this year of which I serve as president, was established to create a forum for neighbors to express their issues of common interest and exchange relevant information. Primarily to inform and provide for mutual discourse. out of this organization, we have created a constructive dialog with Walsh Park, communicating our interest in the property and our support for affordable housing generally and concerns with respect to the lack of specific plans that have been presented. Out of our constructive dialog, Walsh Park did create some preliminary plans that allowed the Fort Wright Association to understand the general direction of development ideas of Walsh Park and they have adopted these in the change of zoning. But most importantly, I wanted to highlight the Fort Wright Association has provided a forum for discussion among the neighborhood that has allowed individuals in our neighborhood to address their views, after the presentation of the proposed plan, we had an extended conversation among the members of the association that could make it and we did have a lively discussion but I did want to emphasize that we came close to a general unanimous support for the four unit project, therefore I thought the characterization of coerced agreement is inaccurate. So we just want to emphasize that the Fort Wright Association did have an opportunity for discussion about the proposed plan and came to a substantial consensus for support for the project. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anyone else like to address the Town Board? MODERATOR: I don't see any other hands raised. COUNCILWOMAN NAPPA: There is one question in the q and a. MODERATOR: That may, again, I am having difficulties with dual computers. That may have been from earlier with Mark Borden. COUNCILWOMAN NAPPA: No, it's a different one. Do you want me to read it? MODERATOR: Please. Thank you. COUNCILWOMAN NAPPA: Inaudible name. There are many Fishers Island residents who are opposed to this project. How will you review all the letters of opposition at this meeting. At this meeting there doesn't seem to be much opposition. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 31 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will address the,the answer is yes, we received several letters both in support and in opposition of the application. We have received some letters of people who originally opposed it and who have ultimately decided to support it. But yes, we still have letters in opposition. It becomes part of the formal record of the hearing and then each of the Town Board members do read the letters and emails that are sent to them. They factor those equally into the decision making, whether the conversation or whether the statements are made at the public hearing as part of the public forum or had they submitted it in written form. The Town Board should be considering all comments, regardless of the format submitted. MODERATOR: Thank you for that. Another hand has been raised by Charlie Curtis. CHARLIE CURTIS: Yes, hello thank you. I live in the neighborhood and wish to express my support of this project and,the efforts Walsh Park has put into engage you as a community to understand their objections (inaudible) in support, mine and my families. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. MODERATOR: Another text based comment from Tara Scott, Tara wants to know how will we know if housing will be only for affordable housing? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We will ask the attorney for the applicant to answer that. MR. FINNEGAN: Well, because the Town Board is well aware that Walsh Parks mission is to provide affordable housing. That is what is being applied for here and they, all of the housing that Walsh Park has is designed or intended and is for year round residents by covenant. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I believe it's in the charter of the Walsh Park... MR. FINNEGAN: Absolutely. MODERATOR: Okay. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Martin, as I understand this and I just want to go over with you, originally if you went, if you got the change of zone, you could build by-right how many homes? MR. FINNEGAN: If we got a change of zone with the allowable density, it could be eight units. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay. MR. FINNEGAN: Eight or nine, depending on where they put roads.... COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: So eight homes. They could legally be adjoining? Two units. MR. FINNEGAN: Well, two family. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 32 COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right. Then further down the line you went to six? MR. FINNEGAN: Yes. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And now you are down to four. Dwelling units? MR. FINNEGAN: Yes, dwelling units. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Which is a little different than houses. MR. FINNEGAN: Yes. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: My concern would be that does this lot sustain the, you know, the water, is all of that there, available? MR. FINNEGAN: Yes and Walsh Park is already in discussion with the utility companies to the extent that there would need to be any upgrades or improvements made to accommodate future development, they are already having those discussions. They similarly did this with the apartments in the ferry building and they financed the improvements that were necessary for any upgrades for the sanitary system. So that's already being taken into consideration and is in the works. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, do they have sewers there? MR. FINNEGAN: Yes, there is public water and sewer. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And naturally, if anything needs to be upgraded there that is on them. MR. FINNEGAN: That is part of the development costs, yes. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And of course, its all part of the Planning Boards responsibility to make sure that happens. MR. FINNEGAN: Yes. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: So basically all we are looking at here is the change of density on that particular lot and it is already adjoining that density. MR. FINNEGAN: Yes. A border of that property already is in that zoning district. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right, right. So its not like we are out in the middle of nowhere putting in affordable housing or that density. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 33 MR. FINNEGAN: No. And at this reduced density, its pretty much consistent with the character of the lots in the area. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay. Thank you. MODERATOR: Okay,there is another hand raise, that is Bob Evans. BOB EVANS: Mr. Finnegan, what is the allowed number of houses under current zoning? MR. FINNEGAN: Under the R... MR. EVANS: Under the current zoning, how many houses would be allowed to be built? MR. FINNEGAN: So the current zoning requires 40,000 square feet per dwelling unit, so based on, there could be one additional unit on the part that is HD but essentially there is no room for additional density under the R-40 portion of the property based on the current build out on the property. MR. EVANS: So, as I understand it, under the second revised proposal, the density increase to the neighborhood as defined by Winthrop Avenue would be an increase of 50% I believe. Is that correct? MR. FINNEGAN: The density in the... MR. EVANS: The proposed eight units or six units increases the current density of Winthrop Avenue by 50%. MR. FINNEGAN: I guess that is correct math... MR. EVANS: I just want to be clear that this proposal has a very large impact on the current density of the neighborhood, that it is not accurate to characterize this as a blending, it is a dramatic impact. MR. FINNEGAN: Well, it's a four acre parcel, there's not even a parcel near it that's near that size. So I would disagree. I think there is plenty of lot area there to accommodate this level of development. MR. EVANS: Right but Winthrop Avenue is pretty much exclusively R-40. MR. FINNEGAN: Winthrop Avenue and Whistler, yes, almost exclusively... MR. EVANS: HD but the majority of the lot right now falls into the R-40 category. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would just like to point out that the, undercurrent zoning R-40, two family housing is permitted so the density allowable under current zoning is less than one Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 34 acre per unit, I believe. So I would submit that, I am trying to make some sense out of the revised calculations from the Planning Board but the original calculations presume one dwelling per acre, it didn't factor in the allowable one acre, two family housing per one acre. MR. EVANS: In any event, I guess the point I would like to emphasize is this is a substantial impact under the current neighborhood and by the way, I am just curious have any of the Town Board members come and walked the property? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I was on that property probably five or six years ago. I am familiar with it. MR. EVANS: Okay. Alright thank you. MODERATOR: There was one more text message that came in from Tara Scott, I think she wanted to clarify or add on to her original question was, my question was that only islanders in need of affordable housing would be chosen not summer residents (inaudible) COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: So her question is whether or not this would be full time residents rather than part time residents? COUNCILWOMAN NAPPA: Yes,year round versus summer. MR. FINNEGAN: Definitely year round. That is going to be by covenant. MODERATOR: Okay, so Tara Scott now has her hand raised. TARA SCOTT: I guess people aren't understanding the question, is it for affordable housing not year round housing primarily, that I know but it seems to me that some of the Walsh Park housing doesn't go to somebody that actually needs affordable housing. People that can afford their own house sometimes end up in Walsh Park houses. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: The way their affordable housing program works is you have to qualify under New York State guidelines. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Inaudible. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Sorry, I am wrong. COUNCILWOMAN NAPPA: In the q and a,Ned Carlson is asking to be unmuted. MS. SCOTT: Inaudible. MODERATOR: Yes. I just don't know what the Boards protocol is with multiple speakers. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Yes. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting October 6, 2020 page 35 NED CARLSON: Okay. So for members of the Town Board that don't know me, I am co- president of Walsh Park, I am getting some echo, are you as well? Okay. So for those of you who don't know me, my name is Ned Carlson, I am the co-president of Walsh Park, I have been involved with the organization for about a decade. To address Ms. Scott's question, we have a formal application process which includes a financial disclosure form which is one of the mechanisms that we utilize to identify appropriate candidates for our affordable housing and the other way from a cost (inaudible) who participate perspective, that we keep our properties affordable is that those properties that are rental in nature, we tie our rents specifically to the HUD affordable index and we actually tie them to the ones in Connecticut not the ones in Southold given the proximity to New London as the most likely alternative living arrangement for an individual and because of that, they are actually below what those rates would be in Southold and so there's a couple of different mechanisms we use to identify appropriate candidates with a need and also keeping the actual cost of ownership affordable. MODERATOR: Thank you Mi. Carlson. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Carlson while we have the opportunity to speak with him? COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Alan, is there another q and a? MODERATOR: No. As of now, the text q and a queue is clear and there are no raised hands that I can see at the moment. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: If there is nothing else, I make a motion to close the hearing. COUNCILWOMAN NAPPA: Hold on real quick, I just wanted to answer Bob Evans just so he knows. I was on Fishers Island last year and I did see this parcel in particular because I was aware that it was going to be coming up and I just wanted to say that I did visit the location. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I just wanted to clarify the calculations on the Planning Board. I noticed now that the calculations were based on the six units. It's obviously been dropped to the four units now. Under the usual zoning, it would be allowed one unit per 2-3 acres the proposal would allow for one unit per .6 acres, something like that, so pretty substantial from what the ordinary zoning would permit without the covenant. Okay, we have a motion to close. This hearing was closed at 5:50 PM RESULT: CLOSED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Robert Ghosio, Councilman SECONDER:Jill Doherty, Councilwoman AYES: Nappa, Dinizio Jr, Doherty, Ghosio, Evans, Russell ClosinlZ Comments Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to offer anybody the opportunity to address the Town Board on any item?
