Re: AHRC Comments on North Fork Villas for SCTM#: 102.-2-12.2
The proposed project titled "North Fork Villas" is a privately-funded venture to create a 36-unit
community housing development on a 3.2-acre parcel in the hamlet of Cutchogue. On June 14,
2023, the applicant presented their proposed project to the Affordable Housing Review Committee
(AHRC).
The applicant received comments on a previous iteration shared with the AHRC in December 2022.
The newly proposed project incorporated this design feedback by increasing the square footage of
the units and by adding: interior storage along with additional storage buildings, defined outdoor
space via patios/decks, and in-unit laundry.The AHRC discussed some additional suggestions to
further improve site design and livability for residents as detailed in the June 14th meeting minutes
(see attached).
The project site is located within the HALO and is walking distance to various local amenities
including grocery stores, post office, restaurants, and shops.The proposed site has sidewalk
connectivity to nearby commercial centers (i.e., Cutchogue Hamlet Center and Cutchogue
Plaza/King Kullen) and access to public transportation via the local Suffolk County bus system and
the Hampton Jitney (with service to NYC). An analysis of the proposed project utilizing the
Affordable Housing Valuation Index, shows a score of 34.5 out of 39 (see attached).
Based on the materials submitted and presented on June 14, 2023, along with the analysis
completed by the Planning Department staff, the AHRC recommends consideration of a change of
zone for the proposed concept as it is consistent with Southold Town Comprehensive Plan goals.
