James H. Rich III: Mr. Chairman, I have some reservations about this but I will
reluctantly vote affirmative and accept it.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Marty?
Martin Sidor: Yes.
Mary Eisenstein: Mr. Chairman - may I just address -the SEQRA Review is a Negative
Declaration regarding the impact on the land and the hamlet business and it checks off
some of the boxes on that. I would like to draw attention to the Comprehensive Plan,
Chapter 4, page 17, where is says "As is shown in Figure 4-8, New development will
increase the amount of everyday traffic. Traffic congestion observed during weekends in
the fall could become commonplace throughout the year, to prevent this, new growth
strategies and transportation improvements to manage traffic congestion must be
implemented. This could include a reevaluation of the Town's zoning in terms of uses
Southold Town Planninq Board Public Meeting —April 11, 2022 — Page 12
relative to the amount of traffic they generate. Chapter 3 of the Comprehensive Plan,
Land Use and Zoning includes more detail on strategies on managing growth from a
Land Use, Planning and Zoning perspective." So Mr. Chair, I do vote yes on the
SEQRA, jus wanting us to pay attention to the traffic component.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you, I will take it. With that said, I will vote a yea. So we
have a unanimous vote with comments for the record.
