The parcel is located in Orient. The use does not conflict with the Residential 80 zoning district or community plans, however, adverse impacts to groundwater and eventually surface waters may occur as a result of the action. Best management practices are proposed below to mitigate the potential impacts. Access to the lots is proposed from Platt Road. A 25' wide flag is proposed to serve Lot 2. 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. 2. If cultural resources are discovered as a result of the initial survey, conduct a detailed evaluation of the cultural resource to provide adequate data to allow a determination of the resource's archaeological significance. The New York Department of State Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)was consulted to determine if the applicant had inquired about cultural resources on the property. No records were available. The property directly to the south known as the Standard Subdivision of Old Orchard has an open inquiry (Reference 15PR02545). Due to the parcel location and historic relevance of cultural resources on the Orient peninsula,the applicant should contact the NYS CRIS database littps://cris.parks.ny. 70, v/Lo in.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f and provide the response to the Planning Board to further this policy. Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. The parcel is located south of Platt Road, and is not visible form New York State Route 25, a Scenic Byway. E. Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to enhance scenic quality: Clearing limits will be applied reducing the area turf, fertilization and pesticide application and irrigation on the lots. Street trees are also required along Platt Road. J. Protect visual quality associated with public lands, including public transportation routes,public parks and public trust lands and waters. Platt Road is a public transportation route. Any future residential is not expected to be discordant with the existing scenic character of the area and the structures will be required to be set back from Platt Road. K. Protect visual quality associated with agricultural land, open space and natural resources. 3.

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 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. The parcel is located above a sole source aquifer that supplies Orient with potable water. The water supply to surrounding properties is sourced from private wells. Recent studies have identified nitrogen loads and saltwater intrusion as threats to the water supply in Orient. The condition and depth of the freshwater lens in this area is unknown. Recommendations to mitigate potential impacts to groundwater and surface waters include: a. The installation of a Suffolk County Department of Health Services approved I/A OWTS's on each residential lot; b. Installing water supply wells with a maximum 10 gpm flow to meet the new water demand to minimize upconing and saltwater intrusion. To meet and further LWRP policies 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 below and protect the ground water and surface waters of Orient, it is recommended that the Board require the following best management practices in a Covenant and Restriction applied to each residential lot: Policies 5.2. Minimize non point pollution of coastal waters and manage activities causing non point pollution. 5.3. Protect and enhance quality of coastal waters. 5.4. Limit thepotential for adverse impacts of watershed development on water quality and quantity. 5.5. Protect and conserve the quality and quantity of potable water. a. Require the use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping. b. Area of irrigation should be limited to 15 percent of the lot area. c. Require rain sensors to promote responsible irrigation methods. d. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture. e. 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. f. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium between November 1St and April 1St g. 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. As indicated above,to further protect groundwater clearing limits will be required for each residential lot (clearing limits reduce turf areas that require fertilization, irrigation and herbicides and insecticides). 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 not located within an environmental designated area. Policy 12.3. Minimize adverse impacts on agriculture from unavoidable conversion of agricultural land. Soils on site are comprised of HaA (Haven Loam 0-2 percent slopes), a prime agricultural soil. Correspondingly, the parcel is listed on the Town of Southold Community Preservation Project Plan (2017). Agricultural soils would be converted to residential use as a result of this subdivision. Due to the size, location and residential use of the property, the likelihood and suitability of farming of the parcel is expected to be low. The permanent loss of agricultural lands/soils will be limited where structures will be constructed and to is unavoidable in this instance.
