The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the LWRP, provided that the below recommendations are considered/required in the site plan approval. Policy 1. Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. The property is zoned Hamlet Business (HB), located east of wells avenue and south of NYS Route 25 and unimproved. The purpose of the Hamlet Business zoning district is: The purpose of the Hamlet Business (HB) District is to provide for business development in the hamlet central business areas, including retail, office and service uses, public and semipublic uses, as well as hotel and motel and multifamily residential development that will support and enhance the retail development and provide a focus for the hamlet area. Surrounding land uses include: NYS Route 25 and Feather Hill to the north and six HB zoned lots; four with existing dwellings to the cast. Wells Avenue and two R-40 zoned parcels are located to the south and three parcels, one HB zoned (Bank of America) and two R-40 zoned lots (one owned by Presbyterian Church with existing barn and the second improved with a single-family dwelling to the west. The action requires a zoning variance to construct five buildings on the 99,208 s. f. parcel. The Southold Town bulk schedule for the HB zoning district requires 20,000 s. f. per building. On August 6, 2020 the Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance(#7387)for the action with conditions. The proposed mixed use in the HB zone does not conflict with the zoning district or surrounding uses. Pedestrian infrastructure is adequate in front of the parcel with an existing concrete sidewalk. There are no sidewalks on Wells Avenue and pedestrians would be forced to walk in roadway. It is recommended that the Board address how pedestrians would access existing sidewalks from buildings 2 through 5. Parking is proposed on-site for buildings 2 to 5. Parking on Wells Avenue should be prohibited through signage. The road is narrow in width. Policy 2.2. Protect and preserve archaeological resources The site was historically improved with a residence that has been removed. The parcel is contiguous with The Southold Historic District located to the west of the parcel across Wells Avenue. To the northeast of the parcel is the Southold Free Library (former Southold Savings Bank) built in 1891 and a candidate for listing on the State/National Register of Historic Places. The Henry W. Price building located to the east on Main Road is a National Register listed site. The Hamlet of Southold contains numerous other historic structures in the vicinity of the parcel that define the streetscape character. The parcel itself is not identified as an area designated as sensitive for archeological sites on the NY State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) archaeological site inventory (The NYS Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)). The general design of the buildings do not conflict with the historic character of the hamlet setting. Building 1 with 4,983 s. f. retail area is subject to retail design standards pursuant to § 280-45. Use regulations of the Southold Town Code. It is recommended that the materials and lighting (fixtures) used in the building design are representative of the historic hamlet features to retain the character. The project was submitted through the CRIS system for OPRHP comment on May 26, 2021. Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. E. Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to enhance scenic quality: It is recommended that the mature trees and vegetation occurring along the east and south property boundaries be preserved as vegetated buffers. It is also recommended that the Board clarify how the areas of"natural vegetation"will be integrated in the site plan; will they remain? Policy S. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold Storm water generated will be retained on site pursuant to Chapter 236 Stormwater Management of the Southold Town Code. Suffolk County has developed and is implementing a plan to reduce the impacts of fertilizer on ground and surface water. The Suffolk County Legislature established a goal of reducing fertilization in residential areas by 10 to 25 percent, regardless of lot size and landscaped area, and passed Local Law 41- 2007 in 2007 to reduce nitrogen pollution by reducing the use of fertilizer throughout the County (SCDHS). The following is recommended. 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 21bs. per 1,000 square feet per year. d. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium between November 1St and April Is. e. Prohibit the use of phosphorous containing lawn fertilizer 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. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
