map to reduce the development area by 0.53 acres (23,086 sq. ft.) and
increase the amount of buildable area that is to be preserved by that
amount.
g. The permissible limit of clearing on lots 4 and 6 is equal to 35 percent of
the buildable area (the buildable area does not include area that is part of
the right of way, however it does include the non-disturbance buffer area).
Show the clearing limit amount in square feet on Lots 4 and 6. The
Planning Board is waiving the clearing limits on lots 1, 2, 3 and 5b.
h. Remove the notations and lines of the existing tax parcels which are no
longer necessary to be shown on the Final Plat (the key map shows these
in sufficient detail).
i. Remove the notations and lines of the zoning districts which are no longer
necessary to be shown on the Final Plat.
j. Remove the Notation and Illustration of the "Typical Sewage Disposal
System". The Planning Board will be- requiring -the use of

SCTM#1000- 14.-2-29.2, 29.3 & 29.4 and SCTM#1000-19-2-2, 3, & 12.2.
Location: 32357 Old Main St, Orient
SEAR Page 12 March 8, 2021
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
This proposed action reconfigures 6 single and separate parcels that could be developed now
without a conservation component. The potential adverse impacts discussed in this review takes
this into consideration.
1. Impact on Land
Sloped areas are located on the bluff face, outside of the proposed building envelopes and
will remain undisturbed. The parcel topography is flat.
The proposed setbacks on lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 are reduced and less than those required in the
R-80 zoning district bulk schedule. The reduced setbacks are permissible pursuant to
Chapter 240. Subdivision of Land Article XI. Cluster Development.
Required Proposed
Front Yard Required 60' 40'
Side Yards Required 40' 35'
The setbacks are supported due to the establishment of a 100' non-disturbance buffer on the
lots because the non-disturbance buffer occupies a large amount of land area on each lot and
the building envelopes created by the set-backs are reasonable.
The clustered lots and reduced setbacks will not result in significant adverse impacts to land.
2. Impact on Geological Features
The parcel contains a bluff adjacent to Long Island Sound. The design includes a 100' wide
non-disturbance buffer from the top of bluff to preserve the integrity of the ecosystem and
no disturbance will occur within 100' of the bluff.
To further preserve the ecosystem, the Planning Board is requiring one, 10-foot-wide
common access to the beach between lots 2 and 3. Chapter 275 Wetlands and Shorelines of
the Southold Town Code regulates all actions on the beach, bluff and within 100' of the top
of bluff and any disturbance and improvements within this area would require permits.
No development is proposed on the beach/bluff. The potential adverse impacts to geologic
features are expected to be low.
3. Impacts on Surface Water
The parcel adjoins the Long Island Sound in the north; a regulated tidal wetland waterbody.
A New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Tidal Wetlands Article -25
Permit for the subdivision will be required.
The proposed action has been identified as capable of resulting in a moderate adverse
impact to surface waters without mitigation. Recent studies have linked on-site sanitary
systems with contributing damaging levels of nitrogen in the form of nitrates to surface
waters through groundwater influence, resulting in cumulative impacts from the sub-surface
disposal of sanitary waste. Nitrates can be harmful to humans and the environment.
SEAR Page 13 March 8, 2021
The potential impacts from the six proposed on-site sanitary systems include increasing total
nitrate load to groundwater and surface waters. It is necessary to mitigate the impact from
the on-site sanitary systems to achieve nitrogen below the maximum contaminant level
(MCL) of I Omg/L set by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.
The Planning Board is requiring the installation of innovative/alternative on-site sanitary
systems on all residential lots to achieve an estimated 20%nitrogen reduction compared to
conventional sanitary systems.
Adverse impacts from nitrogen loading from the five potential single-family residences to
groundwater quality and,ultimately, surface waters are expected to be low. ' If lot 5b were
developed with a single-family residence use of a innovative/alternative on-site sanitary
system to reduce nitrogen loading will be required on the lot.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)that meets all of the requirements of Part
III of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation SPDES General
Permit for Stormwater Discharges fr6m-C6nstiucti6:ffActivity, Permit No. GP-0=15=002 is- - -
required. Southold Town Engineering will review this plan for compliance with Chapter
236, however, the Town will not be taking jurisdiction of the SPDES permit as the runoff
will not enter the Town's stormwater management system prior to discharge. Upon
approval of the stormwater design as compliant with Chapter 236, the applicant will be
provided with a letter signed by the Town Supervisor stating that the DEC will have direct
oversight of the SPDES permit and the SWPPP for this project. Stormwater controls will be
required to control storm water on site.
Correspondingly, adverse impacts to Long Island Sound from sanitary waste and storm
water on surface waters are also expected to be low.
4. Impact on Groundwater
Groundwater Quantity
The parcel is located above the Nassau-Suffolk Sole Source and is not served by public
water; new private wells will be required to provide potable water.
Test hole data has not been provided however, a shallow freshwater aquifer with deeper
saline groundwater is expected to occur below the lots. Above this interface mark, a
freshwater lens is available to provide potable water; however, due to the expected shallow
depth,the threat from saltwater intrusion upconing in the wells is high if overuse occurs.
Upconing occurs when a well pumps water to the surface from a single point in the
freshwater lens. The saline water beneath the well is affected and pulled upward towards the
well.-
Expected annual water consumption for the five residential lots is calculated at 1500 gallons
per day (gpd) if Lot 5b is not improved with a single-family residential use. If lot 5b is
improved with a single-family residence then the GPD use would be estimated at 1800. It is
estimated that forty percent of the gpd used would be lost to irrigation with a recharge loss
SEQR Page 14 ,March 8, 2021
to the aquifer of greater than 600 gpd. Irrigation controls are necessary to prevent high use
and loss,of potable water:
Although moderate to large impacts are not expected to the aquifer from the potential of 6
residential lots,the sustainability of potable water supply and preservation of the freshwater
lens must be achieved for long duration. Ways to achieve this include: The installation of
low flow wells with a maximum 10 gpm flow rate, installing multiple wells to meet the new
water demand rather than a single well to minimize upconing and spacing lot wells evenly
and as far from the edge of the shore as possible to minimize saltwater intrusion.
When locating the private wells, all other existing private water wells in the vicinity of the
site will be accounted for in the design process. The Suffolk County Department of Health
Services (SCDHS)will require separation distances to existing wells and that additional test
wells be conducted (one per lot)to confirm that the water well installation can be achieved
in accordance with the construction guidelines upon development of each lot.
The- miwater conservation practices are recommended to further minimize water use
impacts.
1. The use of low-flow plumbing fixtures.
2. Irrigation controls:
To reduce residential irrigation in areas not connected to public water.
a. 'The use of drip irrigation systems is recommended. Rain barrels are
encouraged.
b. Total long-term permanent irrigation of each lot should be limited to
15% of the lot area not improved with structures.
c. Soil moisture sensors should be used with irrigation systems,to water
only when necessary during times of low soil moisture.
d. Lawn areas should be seeded with improved turf species with deeper
root systems and greater drought tolerance,thus requiring less irrigation
than conventional turf species.
Groundwater Quality
The proposed subdivision may result in the construction of water supply wells in locations
where groundwater is, or is suspected to be, contaminated. Areas of Orient have exhibited
groundwater contamination due to historical land use. The proposed subdivision may
involve the commercial application of pesticides within 100' of potable drinking water or
irrigation sources. The use of insecticide, fungicides and herbicides on properties is also
expected.
The following best management practices are applied during subdivision review for actions
in Orient to protect the ground and surface waters.
1. Require the use'of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping.
SEQR Page 15 March 8, 2021
2. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is
no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture.
3. 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.
4. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen,phosphorus,
or potassium between November 1st and April 1st
5. 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. 22-045. 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.
Based upon the above,no significant-adverse-impacts-to groundwater-quality-and quantity- -
are expected. Correspondingly, adverse impacts to groundwater quality and quantity are
expected to be low.
5. Impact on Flooding
The proposed building envelopes of the lots are not located within a floodway or FEMA
mapped flood zone.. The shoreline of the Long Island Sound is located within a 100-year
flood plain, however, development is not proposed for this area. The buildable areas of the
lots are located at a higher elevation than sea level and protected by a bluff. Flooding is
expected to occur on the beach area. Drainage will be controlled via on-site control
structures pursuant to an adopted NYSDEC SWPPP and Chapter 236 Stormwater
Management of the Southold Town Code.
Hurricanes and major storms are a threat to development in this location. The Suffolk
County Multi-Jurisdictional Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan data indicates that south of the
parcel (Lot 5b) could be impacted by a Category'2 and above hurricane and the north of the
parcel is less susceptible to storm damage due to higher elevations. The building envelopes
of lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are located outside of areas susceptible to flooding.
Adverse impacts on flooding are expected to be 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. The proposed uses are residential and
agricultural on the parcel.
Fugitive dust is difficult to control and is generated from farming and construction activities
and by vehicles driving on road surfaces. ,Fugitive dust from`farming activities is not
SEQR Page 16 March 8, 2021
controlled by Southold Town regulations. Dust generated by construction would be
controlled by management practices required under Chapter 236 Stormwater Management.
Fugitive dust generated by vehicles using the subdivision access road is capable of
impacting the residential properties to the west. To mitigate fugitive dust the Planning
Board is requiring 72 evergreen trees to be planted in a 24' wide Vegetated Buffer within
the 50' right of way between the access road and the residential properties to the west.
Trees will be deer tolerant and positioned to maximize screening of the access road from the
rear of the properties.
Adverse impacts to air quality are expected to be low from this action.
7. Impacts on Plants and Animals
The New York State Natural Heritage Program(NHP)was not contacted. The NYSDEC
Environmental Resource Mapper was consulted and the parcel is included within a
"Significant Natural Community Near This Layer"polygon.
NYSDEC-guidance states that-"This data layer shows-areas-within-1/2-mile of-the-
significant
f-the significant natural communities. If natural resources or potential project impacts are being
assessed at a location within this vicinity layer,the nearby significant natural communities
should be considered in the assessment. Also, as some of the natural communities
themselves are very small (such as vernal pools),the vicinity layer will alert the user as to
the presence of a nearby significant natural community that might otherwise be
overlooked."
The natural community identified is: Marine eelgrass meadow located within the Long
Island Sound. The project will not physically disturb or otherwise directly significantly,
impact the Long Island Sound or community. Mitigation to reduce the indirect impacts of
nutrient loading to surface waters are proposed.
The NYSDEC Environmental Resource Mapper identifies eight historical accounts of
protected plant species and one current account for the plant scotch lovage Ligusticum
scothicum ssp. Scothicum last documented in 1980. It is recommended that the applicant
contact the New York State Natural Heritage Program for more information at(518)402-
8935.
The historic use of the parcel where lots 1, 2, 3 and 5b are located was an airfield and most
vegetation on the lots have been cleared. The dominant cover type is grass (turf). The
Planning Board has agreed to waive the clearing limits on lots 1, 2, 3 and 5b.
Lot 4 and 6 are located within an area with succession growth and contain the most
vegetation. The permissible limit of clearing on lots 4 and 6 is equal to 35 percent of area.
-The Planning Board has agreed to require clearing limits on these lots.
To preserve the integrity of the bluff and associated vegetation within 100' from the top-of--
bluff on lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, the establishment of a 100' wide non—disturbance buffer will be
required.
Animals on site are expected to be species indicative of residential type settings and habitats
(Deer, raccoon,possum, avian spp. etc.). Since the areas where the building envelopes are
SEAR Page 17 March 8,2021
proposed are already cleared on lots 1, 2, 3, and 5b,the construction of structures on these-
lots will not displace large areas of habitat.
It is expected that the Eastern box turtle Terrapene c. carolina(a protected species) occurs
on the parcels and surveys should be conducted prior to clearing and grading of
development areas. The parcels are also located within a confirmed summer occurrence
area of the Northern long eared bat Myotis septentrionalis. It is recommended that the
applicant contact Michelle Gibbons from the NYSDEC at(631)444-0306 for further
regulatory guidance on the species.
Due to the cleared nature of the lots 1, 2, 3 and 5b,required clearing limits on lots 4 and 6,
active farming occurring on the parcel, and process to assess and protect potential protected
species on-site, adverse impacts to plants and animals are expected to be low.
8. Impact on Agricultural Resources
None of the six parcels are located within the Agricultural District Suffolk 01. Only one
parcel-i§-actively farmed SCTM#1000=14.=2=29.3:--A-total-of 75-percent of the-parcel-or--
25.68 acres will be preserved to support agricultural use and the residential lots have been
clustered to avoid fragmenting agriculture soils to the greatest extent practicable.
Development rights have been acquired on four adjoining parcels to the east of this
proposed subdivision. If the sale of development rights on the subject parcel is successful,
the large contiguous block of preserved farmland and open space would continue to the
west. It should be noted that after numerous design proposals,the subdivision access road
was located on the most western property boundary to prevent the fragmentation of
protected lands.
The dominate soil types on the parcels include Haven loam 0 to 2 percent(HaA) and to a
lesser extent Riverhead sandy loam 3-8 percent(RdB). Both soil types are classified as
prime agricultural soils. The majority of the-prime agricultural soil area(25.68 acres) is
proposed to be preserved through the sale of development rights. Adverse impacts to the
prime agricultural soil groups on this property are expected to be low.
9. Impacts on Aesthetic Resources
The parcels are located to the north of NYS Route 25, a designated Scenic Byway and
public right of way, however the existing or proposed development will not be directly
visible. Two of the parcels (SCTM 1000-19-2-2 and 1000-19-2-3) form an island between
the NYS Route 25 and Old Main Road located to the north. Both parcels will be preserved
and it is expected that the vegetation that occurs on the parcel will remain intact and screen
future development of the subdivision from users of NYS Route 25.
Old Main Road is not a scenic resource identified as important to the community or
officially designated by a governmental agency.
Adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to be low. ,
SEAR Page 18 March 8,2021
10. Impacts on Cultural and Archeological Resources
The NYS Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)was consulted and no designations
were found for the parcels. A cultural resource survey is not recommended.
Adverse impacts to cultural and archeological resources are expected to be low.
11. Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The parcel 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 is low.
Adverse impacts to open space and recreation are expected to be low.
12.Impact on Critical Environmental Areas
The parcel is not located within a Critical Environmental Area.
13.Impact on Transportation
`4
The subdivision design includes a 50' wide north-south right of way and a 30' wide east-
west section of right of way with a 26' wide access road. Chapter 161 Highway
Specifications of the Southold Town Code requires a 50' wide right of way for 5 or more
lots. Section 161-15. Construction specifications,A,Footnote 5 of the Southold Town Code;
allows for the Planning Board to seek reduced right of way specifications for conservation
subdivisions under Chapter 240, Subdivision of Land,with the approval of the
Superintendent of Highways. Planning Board staff coordinated with the Superintendent of
Highways and on February 11,2021 the approval was granted for the reduction of the east-
west section of right of way to 30'.
The subdivision access road'intersects with Old Main Road which merges into NYS Route
25 to the west. Old Main Road also intersect with NYS Route 25 to the east with a stop sign
traffic control. Both intersections are managed by the NYSDOT. Planning Board staff
coordinated the action with the NYSDOT and a Highway Work Permit will be required for
the subdivision access road.
The vehicle trips generated from the proposed 5 residential lots is expected to be low. The
8th Edition ITE Trip Generation Manual calculates a total of 30 vehicle trips per day
(extrapolated to 6 per residence)with a PM peak total trips of 3 using a 0.67 peak period
rate . The level of service (LOS) at the intersection of the subdivision access road and Old
Main Road is expected to remain unaffected due to`low volume vehicle use of the roadway.
Vehicles would yield to traffic on NYS Route 25 if heading east from the subdivision access
road and the LOS impact is expected to be low due to traffic volume on the roadway from
the result of this action. Vehicles exiting the subdivision travel east to the Old Main Road
and NYS Route 25 intersection will be controlled by a stop sign. Impacts to traffic patterns
on NYS Route 25 are expected to be low.
SEQR Page 19 March 8, 2021
The adverse impacts from transportation/traffic or level of service (LOS) as a result of this
action are expected to be low due to subdivision density and regulatory oversight.
14. Impact on Energy
A total of 6 single family homes could be developed if the subdivision is approved. Electric
connection to the homes will be underground. The adverse impact on energy use is
expected to be low.
15. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light
The adverse impact on noise, odor, and light is expected to be low.
16. Impact'on Human Health
- The Planning Boatd-is requiring proof of potable-water-from the applicant.-See discussion-
on groundwater quality above and potential contamination issues.
17. Consistency with Community Plans
The action complies with Chapter 240 Subdivision of Land of the Southold Town Code and
is not in significant conflict with the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan(2020), Southold
Town Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy (2000) and Community Preservation Project
Plan(2016 update).
The parcel does not fully meet the policies of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
(LWRP) due to the conversion of prime agricultural soils to residential use however the
impact is not significant. The preservation of prime agricultural soils 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. The creation of 5
residential lots in the north of the parcels, in areas currently not improved, does not fully
support Policy 12.1 Protect agricultural lands from conversion to other land uses of the
LWRP. Areas of prime agricultural soils will be impacted and lost; however, a combined
total of 75 percent of buildable lands to be preserved offsets the impacts and meets Town
goals. The actively farmed area on SCTM# 1000-14-2-29.3 will be preserved.
The parcel is located within the LI North Shore Heritage Area and does not conflict with the
goals and objectives of the plan.
The action is not significantly inconsistent with adopted community plans.
18. Consistency with Community Character
The creation of 5 residential lots and 1 agricultural lot with a 40,057 square foot buildable
area is not inconsistent with the surrounding community character. The subdivision
SEQR Page 110 March 8,2021
supports the rural character of the neighborhood. A total of 75 percent of the parcel area
will be preserved as farmland and open space.
The future use on parts of Lot 5a is expected to continue to be agriculture and the operations.
are protected pursuant to § 280-97 Right to farm of the Southold Town Code
The section specifies that`farmers shall have the right to farm in Southold without undue
interference from adjacent landowners or users. For the purpose of reducing future
conflicts between people residing on tracts adjacent to farmlands and farmers, it is
necessary to establish and give notice of the nature of the farming activities to future
neighbors of farmland and farming activities. " Notice requirements will be included in a
future open space easement.
The action is expected to create a demand for Southold Police and fire services;however,
the impacts to the existing systems are expected to be periodic and low for the residential
use.
_-_____The,proposed subdivision is located within the Oysterponds_Union Free School District_ and
school age children will attend elementary school there. Children would attend the
Greenport Union Free School District for grades 7 through 12. Due to the number of
residential units proposed, impacts to the school district are expected,to be low.
