The proposal is to complete the subdivision of a 22.17-acre parcel into 4 lots,where Lots 1-3 are 1.26-acre residential lots and Lot 4 is 18.38 acres of preserved land, in the AC Zoning District. The Planning Board approved the Sketch Plan for this proposal on August 10, 2009, which preserved the 18.38 acres on Lot 4 through a sale of development rights to the Town of Southold, and created a development area of 3.79 acres.The Town Board approved an Open Development Area on August 25, 2009,which designated the 3.79-acre development area for the future creation of residential lots. This parcel is at 5645 Aldrich Lane, on the w/s/o of Aldrich Lane+/- 1,300' south of Sound Avenue, in Laurel. 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 below listed policies provided that the following is considered and required to further and/or meet the policies: 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 proposed action is to subdivide a 22.17 acre parcel into 4 residential lots in the Agricultrual Conservation (AC) zoning district located in the hamlet of Laurel. The surrounding character of the area is residential neighborhood and agriculture. The parcels to the east are zoned AC and improve_d_with residential structures and the parcels to the south, north and west are also zoned AC and in active agriculture. 1 The use does not conflict with the Residential 40 zoning district or community character,makes beneficial use of infrastructure and minimizes adverse effects of development through the reduction in yield. Policy 2.2. Protect and preserve archaeological resources. A. Conduct a cultural resource investigation when an action is proposed on an archaeological site,fossil bed, or in an area identified for potential archaeological sensitivity on the archaeological resources inventory maps prepared by the New York State Department of Education. 1. Conduct a site survey to determine the presence or absence of cultural resources in the project's potential impact area. The New York Department of State Cultural Resource Information System(CRIS)was consulted to determine the presence or absence of cultural resources on the property. The property is not located within an identified Archeological Sensitive Area. The Town ArcGIS also did not identify the area as within an Archeo-sensitive Area. The property is not SPLIA listed and currently undergoing renovation. A cultural resource investigation is not recommended. 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: A total of 18 street trees will be required on lots 1-3 to meet this policy. A vegetative buffer on each lot has been agreed to in a filed Covenant and Restriction filed in 2010. K. Protect visual quality associated with agricultural land, open space and natural resources. 3. Avoid structures or activities which introduce visual interruptions to natural landscapes including: a. introduction of intrusive artificial light sources It is recommended that the Board apply dark sky lighting requirements to preserve the night sky in the area pursuant to § 240-46 Lighting. Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. The property is not located within a mapped FEMA flood zone. Policy S Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold 2 Adverse impacts to groundwater and eventually surface waters quality may occur as a result of the cumulative effects from residential development and increased disposal of sanitary wastewater an application of fertilizers and pesticides over time. The lots are not proposed to be connected to public water and potable water supply will be supplied from private wells. To protect the water quality of the sole source aquifer and mitigate cumulative nitrogen loading impacts,the installation of a I/A OWTS is recommended. It is expected that an existing sanitary system is located and functioning on the improved Lot 1. To further LWRP policies 5.4 and 5.5 and protect the ground water and surface waters of Southold, it is recommended that the Board require the following best management practices in a Covenant and Restriction applied to each residential lot: a. Area of irrigation should be limited to 15 percent of the lot area. b. Require rain sensors to promote responsible irrigation methods. c. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture. d. 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. e. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium between November I"and April I". f. 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. Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystem. The NYSDEC Environmental Mapper was consulted and the parcel is located within a rare plants and animals environmental designated area. The Town of Southold is a confirmed summer occurrence area and 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). Due to the lack of natural vegetation and agricultural use on the proposed 3 residential lots, the occurrence and use of the area by the species is low and not further action is recommended. Policy 12.1. Protect agricultural lands from conversion to other land uses. The NY Department of Agriculture and Markets has created a Land Classification System based on soils that are used in the Agricultural Assessment Program pursuant to Article 25-AA of the Agriculture and Markets Law. The on-site soil group where the lots will be located consists of Riverhead Sandy Loam 0-3 percent slopes, Plymouth Sandy Loam 8-15 percent slopes and Haven Loam 0-2 percent slopes. Soils or slopes characteristics on the parcel will not impede development. This action will convert 3.79 acres from active agricultural use to residential use, however, the mitigation to this impact is that the landowner sold development rights to the Town of Southold on 18.37 acres of the 22.17 acre parcel in 2009.
