The use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use districts BECAUSE: The existing building is approximately 6,400 sq.ft. and was constructed in 1988 for Suffolk Times Newspapers. The exterior of the building will not change. The interior space will be reconfigured as follows: Approximately 4,000 sq.ft. to accommodate 4 separate golf simulator bays/partitions and a common area serving as a lobby, lounge, and general congregation area. For future use and expansion: the main floor has 2,000 sq.ft. on the north side of the building for additional golf simulators, and the lower floor (semi-finished existing space with walkout) for recreational use including accessory uses (per 280-48 B (6)uses normally accessory and incidental to commercial recreation, such as locker rooms, eating and drinking facilities and retail sale of goods associated with the particular activity). B. That the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use or permitted or legally established uses in the district wherein the proposed use is to be located or adjacent use districts: the property is zoned B and surrounded by commercial uses. The proposed recreational use will not interfere with the commercial uses in the district or in the surrounding area. The building is large with surrounding open space and generous setbacks. The building was constructed with 33% landscaping and only 13% lot coverage. The recreational use will operate generally after hours on the weekday (after work) and on weekends. The hours of operation will not interfere with the surrounding businesses. The surrounding buildings are medical and professional office buildings which have limited office hours and are generally closed on the weekend. The medical offices operate with scheduled appointments. The recreational use is inside the building and the building has sufficient parking (code compliant). C. That the safety, the health, the welfare, the comfort, the convenience, or the order of the town will not be adversely affected by the proposed use and its location: the use is a benefit to the community. Indoor recreational activities are very limited in Southold Town. The proposed use is a family activity. The owners hope to coordinate with the school golf team for practice and training during inclement weather. Community programs would be pre-scheduled and not adversely affect the Town at large. D. That the use will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes and intent of this chapter. As a Special Permit use, the use will be in harmony with the B zoning. Indoor recreational activities are generally welcomed in the community. This use is intended for family and friends to enjoy wholesome social activities. There are no age restrictions for simulator golf. E. That the use will be compatible with its surroundings and with the character of the neighborhood and of the community in general, particularly with regard to visibility, scale and overall appearance. The existing building was designed and constructed for a newspaper (Suffolk Times) and has been unoccupied since the newspaper relocated. The building is perfect for the proposed recreational use. The existing interior is partitioned for the golf simulators in private @17' x 18' rooms. The separate rooms maintain the overall peace and quiet of the larger space of the building. F. That all proposed structures, equipment, and material shall be readily accessible for fire & police protection. The existing building was constructed to code and compliant with fire and handicap accessibility. The applicant has an adaptive re-use of an existing building. G. The proposed shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 236, Storm-water Management Because: the existing building will not be changed. Any construction will be limited to the interior space allocation. The existing building was constructed with full drainage systems/drywells as shown on the building department records.
