December 18,2023
Name of Action: Cell Tower at Albertson Marine
SCTM#: 1000-56-3-15
Location: The property is located at 61405 Route 25,Greenport,NY
SEQR Status: Type I ( ) Unlisted (X)
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8(State
Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental.Conservation Law.
The Town of Southold Planning Board as lead agency has determined that the proposed action described below
may have a potentially significant adverse impact on the environment,but the impact can be eliminated or
adequately mitigated by conditions imposed by the lead agency, without the need for additional environmental
studies.
The following studies and reports were considered in making this determination:
1. October 16,2023 Staff Report prepared by Mara Cerezo, Planner(Subject File)
2. November 20, 2023 Staff Report prepared by Mara Cerezo,Planner(Subject File)
3. Reports cited.
i
Description of Action:
The Proposed Action involves the installation of a wireless communications facility 150±-foot above grade level
(agl) concealment pole with the antennas of multiple wireless service carriers concealed within, and two Southold
Fire District whip antennas mounted atop the concealment polereaching a top height of 164-feet-l0±-inches agl,
at 61405 Main Road in the hamlet of Southold,Town of Southold, Suffolk County,New York.
Six Verizon Wireless panel antennas would be installed within the concealment pole in three sectors(two
panel antennas per sector)at centerline heights of 141-feet-2±inches agl and 146-feet-1±inch agl. Three
Dish Wireless panel antennas would be installed within the concealment pole in three sectors(one panel
antenna per sector)at a centerline height of 132±feet agl. There would be room for additional future
wireless service carrier antennas within the concealment pole below the Verizon Wireless and Dish
Wireless in the General Business Zoning District.
The Verizon Wireless equipment would be installed atop a proposed l 0f-foot-by-20f-foot(200f-sf)
steel platform surrounded by a 42t-inch-high handrail, and would be covered by a steel canopy with a
top height of 11-feet-6f inches agl. Four Verizon Wireless GPS units would be mounted atop the
equipment canopy to a top height of 13-feet-6f inches agl.
The Dish Wireless equipment would be installed atop a proposed 8f-foot-by-10±-foot(80f-sf)steel
platform surrounded by a 42±-inch-high handrail. One Dish Wireless GPS unit would be mounted atop
the equipment platform.
The Southold Fire District equipment would be installed atop a proposed 8f-foot-by-10±-foot(80f-sf)
equipment platform.
The equipment within the compound would be connected to the concealment pole via cable bridges(one
cable bridge per equipment platform).Additionally, utility connections(i.e.,power and telco)would be
routed underground from an existing utility pole on Main Road to a proposed transformer and mesa
cabinet within the equipment compound. Power and telco conduits would be routed underground within
the equipment compound from the transformer and mesa cabinet to the equipment platforms.
All equipment within the compound would be elevated a minimum of 3f feet agl to provide a minimum
of two feet of clearance above the base flood elevation of 6' (North American Vertical Datum of
1988 (Application Narrative 2023)
1. Impact on Land
The proposed action is f 41,346 sq.ft. non-conforming parcel in the Marine II Zoning District and is
improved with a± 10,800 sq. ft.boat storage warehouse([Note: Warehouse was built in 1971-72 with no
prior site plan or Planning Board review)and paved and gravel areas with exterior boat storage.
The M-II purpose is defined as to provide a waterfront location for a wide range of water-dependent and
water-related uses,which are those uses that require or benefit from direct access to or location in marine
or tidal waters and which, in general, are located on major waterways, open bayfronts or the Long Island
Sound. Surrounding zoning includes: J
To the north is a LIRR easement with active train service and Residential-80 (R-80)zoned Town Open
Space parcels including wetlands. The parcels to the north and northwest of the LIRR easement are
protected and no development upon the parcel can occur. To the south, east and west is Marine II zoning.
The parcel to the south across S.R. 25 is also protected.
The proposal includes constructing a 2,450 sq. ft. fenced ground equipment area,with evergreen plantings
on the north and west sides of the compound. Utility connections will be routed underground for an
existing utility pole on Main Road.
The current lot coverage is 26.2% and landscape coverage: 0%. The proposed lot coverage is 32%and
landscape coverage is 4.43%: An improvement in landscaping.
The action requires a Special Exception from the Southold Town Planning Board. It should be noted that
this location is not optimum for the siting of the wireless communication facility and is the fifth of six
preferred locations outlined in the Town Code. The co-location of the Southold Fire District
communication antennae is the main reason the wireless communication facility has been considered for
this location. Communication service gaps outlined in the submitted reports, along with public hearing
2
testimony regarding the emergency response communication challenges Southold's Fire District face,this
location is well suited to improve telecommunications services in this area. Based on the Applicant's
submitted materials,the Towns consultant(CityScape)concurs with the Applicant's findings that the
proposed antennas for Dish, Verizon, and the Fire District will need to be placed on a new tower,on non-
Town-owned property, in this zoning district due to a lack of opportunity elsewhere(Planning Board
Staff Report November 20, 2023).
Based on the existing use and improvements,the proposed action will not cause a substantial
intensification of use in the area relative to existing, surrounding development.
Moderate to large adverse impacts on land are not expected to occur.
2. Impact on Geological Features
Adverse impacts to Geologic Features will not occur.
3. Impacts on Surface Water
There are no freshwater or marine wetlands on the parcel. Tidal wetlands do occur the north of the
parcel, separated by a LIRR track. Adverse impacts to surface water are not expected. Storm water will
be controlled on-site.
4. Impacts on Groundwater
No new water service is proposed nor will chemicals be applied as a result of this action.Adverse impacts
to groundwater are not expected.
5. Impact on/from Flooding
The location is not optimal and will be affected by floods. The proposed action is located within a FEMA
flood zone AE El 6' and is designed to tolerate flooding by locating.the base floor elevation 3' above the
expected flood elevation of 6'. Future adaptation to floods may be necessary over time.

Adverse impacts(inundation)to the ground compound from flooding are expected during storm events
and over time due to sea level rise. Initial design and flood adaptive strategies should be incorporated in
the design.
Low impacts on the structure are expected in consideration of the mitigation for flooding provided.
6. Impact on Air
No adverse impacts to air quality would occur as a result of the action.
7. Impact on Plants and Animals
Recommended Best Practices for Communication Tower Design, Siting, Construction,Operation,
Maintenance, and Decommissioning Migratory Bird Program U. S.Fish and Wildlife Service Falls
Church,Virginia(March 2021)was consulted and the following is recommended to lessen impacts to
birds in the vicinity of the tower in design.
1. New towers should be not more than 199 ft. above ground level(AGL).This height increases
the mean free airspace between the top of the tower and average bird flight height,even in
weather conditions with reduced cloud ceiling;
2. Recommend using monopole structures.
3. Lights are a primary source of bird aggregation around towers,thus minimizing all light is
recommended.
4. Security lighting for on-ground facilities, equipment, and infrastructure should be motion-or
heat-sensitive, down-shielded, and of a minimum intensity to reduce nighttime bird attraction
and eliminate constant nighttime illumination while still allowing safe nighttime access to the
site.
The site is cleared and improved;therefore,the proposed action will not result in the significant removal
or destruction of large quantities of vegetation.No significant adverse impacts to soils will result.
The New York Department of Environmental Conversation(NYSDEC)Environmental Resource Mapper
indicates that rare and protected species are located within the vicinity where the project is proposed.
However, due to the previous development, impacts to protected species are expected to be low including
impacts on The Northern Long-eared Bat and Osprey.
Northern Long-eared Bat
Scientific Name: Myotis septentrionalis
New York Status: Endangered*
Federal Status: Endangered*
On November 29,2022,the United States Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS)published a ruling
reclassifying Northern Long-eared Bat from Threatened to Endangered under the federal Endangered
Species Act. This rule is effective March 31,2023. The change to Endangered in New York will take
place at the same time as the Federal listing.
The NYSDEC concurs with the conclusion of the USFWS that the northern long-eared bat(NLEB)
population decline is not the result of habitat loss but rather individual tree loss. No trees will be
impacted as a result of this proposal.

The Osprey is a bird of with a New York Status of Special Concern. Ospreys seek tall structure to build
nests, and this location provides an optimal location for habits. It is recommended that an Osprey
deterrents be added to the top of the pole. If birds are nesting on communication towers that require
maintenance activities, contact the state natural resource protection agency and/or the USFWS for
permits,recommendations,and requirements. Schedule construction and maintenance activities around
the nesting and activity schedule of protected birds.
Regulated wetlands do not occur on site but are located north and south of the parcel. No physical
disturbance capable of adversely impacting the wetlands is proposed.
No significant impacts to a significant habitat area will occur.
8. Impact on Agricultural Resources
The proposed action will not cause significant adverse impacts to agricultural resources.
9. Impact on Aesthetic Resources
A visual analysis titled Proposed Wireless Communications Facility Albertsons Marine(June 2023),
prepared by VHB Consultants has been submitted and reviewed. The study analyzed a one-mile radius
from the 150' proposed concealment pole and associated equipment using a crane test.The 12+foot Fire
Department antenna proposed on the concealment pole was included in the test.It is recognized that the
concealed antennae design contributes to mitigating adverse impacts on scenic character.
The monopole is visible from State Route 25 (S.R. 25),a New York State Scenic Byway, and is visible
from publicly accessible vantage points seasonally and year-round by routine travel of residents and
visitors. The placement of the equipment compound located behind an existing boat storage warehouse
structure on the subject property, is set back from the road,and is not readily apparent to travelers on S.R.
25.The location mitigates the scale of the pole by co-locating with the existing structures on site.
1. North: R-80 zoning district,LIRR tracks,Town Open Space including wetlands
2. South: MII zoning district, County Open Space including wetlands, small vacant parcel,
active marina,R-40 zoning district to SE of parcel
3. East: MII zoning district, exterior boat storage
4. West: MII zoning district with Albertson Marine maintenance and sales office building,
exterior boat storage.Residential(R-80 zoning)begins just west of the Albertson Marine
parcel.
The location of the concealment pole(tower)has been assessed for optimal coverage and range for
emergency communications. Although the tower is expected to be visible from NYS Route 25,the
location of the tower on a developed parcel positioned behind a large building with boat storage is not
obtrusive. Impacts on scenic character and aesthetics are expected to be low.
10. Impact on Historic and Archeological Resources
The applicant submitted correspondence from SHPO dated November 16,2017 concluding that no
properties would be subject to potential affects and that no adverse impacts would occur to historic
properties. No cultural or historic resources have been identified within 300' of the site. The site is
improved;therefore,the action would not result in adverse impacts to cultural/historic resources.
Similarly,the proposed action will not impair the character or quality of important historic, architectural
resources.
6
11. Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The parcel is located south of Southold Town-owned open space that is separated by an LIRR elevated
track and north of a Suffolk County-owned open space parcel. There is no connection to the open space
from the parcel.IAdverse impacts to open space and recreation are not expected to occur due to this
action.
12. Impact on Critical Environmental Areas
The parcel is located within the NYSDEC Critical Environmental Area Peconic Bay and Environs.Due to
the proposed use and scale of development, impacts to groundwater/surface waters will not result,and
therefore, adverse impacts to the Critical Environmental Area will not occur as a result of this action.
Protected wildlife species in the area will be considered in design to deter interaction with the monopole.
13. Impact on Transportation
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation letter on
December 12,2022. No marking lighting will be required unless one is installed voluntarily.
Adverse impacts from vehicle trips are expected to be low,will be short-term and limited to construction
and maintenance vehicles.No adverse impacts to transportation will occur as a result of the action.
14. Impact on Energy
No-to-low adverse impacts on energy use will occur as a result of the action. The tower will be
connected to the existing electric service lines along NYS Route 25.
15. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light
Noise impacts from the construction of the tower are expected to occur in short duration. No
odors will be produced and lighting will be minimal.
Adverse impacts from noise, odor and light are expected to be none-to-low as a result of the
action.
16. Impact on Human Health
The proposed location of the tower does not meet Town Code requirements that require a
minimum distance to adjacent residential property lines of no less than 500 feet. Human health
threats from wireless technology have been linked to the level Radio Frequency(RF).
Accordingly,the FCC Maximum Permissible Exposure(MPE) limits of up to 100 percent MPE
are considered acceptable and safe(Pinnacle Telecom Group).
Due to the size of the parcel,the opportunity to increase the distance from residential-zoned
property lines is not achievable.

VERIZON
Verizon Wireless is proposing the following:
a. Six(6)panel antennas (the "Antennas")concealed within a proposed 150'-0"concealment
pole(to be constructed by Elite),with Antenna centerline heights of+/- 146'-1"and 141'-
2"AGL;
b. An equipment platform upon which equipment cabinets and associated equipment,with
canopy above,will be located,within the proposed compound(to be constructed by Elite);
c. Four(4)GPS units mounted on the proposed equipment canopy;and
d. All other appurtenances, devices,cables,conduits and wires related thereto.
As shown in the Height Analysis,reducing the height of the concealment pole to 110 feet AGL,
or even to 130 feet AGL,would result in significant coverage losses compared to the proposed
height of 150 feet AGL. Constructing the tower as a concealment pole instead of a standard
monopole to reduce visual impact of the communications facility already significantly reduces the
flexibility of wireless operators by restricting the size of antennas that can be deployed and the
azimuths at which they can be oriented.Any reduction in the height would further compound the
impact of this limitation.
MPE LIMIT
According to the FCC Maximum Permissible Exposure(MPE) limit has been constructed in such
a manner that continuous human exposure to RIF emissions up to and including 100 percent of
the MPE limit is acceptable and safe(Pinnacle Telecom Group).
The maximum calculated RF level from the proposed antenna operations at the site is 1.4796
percent of the FCC MPE limit more than 65 times below the limit established as safe for
continuous human exposure to the RF emissions from antennas.
The antennas comply with the FCC MPE limits.
The distance of the concealment pole to the Long Island Rail Road(L.I.R.R.)Easement and
active tracks could result in adverse impacts to the public health and safety of train passengers
from structural failure. On September 26, 2023,the applicant submitted a structural assessment of
the tower and the fall zone. The report concludes that a structural failure of the monopole is
unlikely, and it could be designed to fail at the 78' elevation,thereby reducing the probability of a
full collapse. This design would provide a theoretical failure radius of 72' for the 150' AGL
slimline pole(Carpenter&Cross Structural Engineers(2023)).
Moderate to large impacts on human health are not expected.
17. Consistency with Community Plans
The siting of telecommunication towers throughout the Town is determined on a case-by-case
basis and needs analysis under Planning Board review.Process and Town objectives to protect
the quality of life and aesthetic qualities, among others, are incorporated in Chapter 280. Zoning
Article XVII. Wireless Communication Facilities of the Southold.Town Code. The purpose of the
section is stated as follows:
§280-67 Purpose.
8
It is the express purpose of this article to minimize the visual and environmental impacts of
wireless communication facilities while protecting the health, safety and welfare of Southold's
citizens and allowing wireless service providers to meet their technological and service
objectives. In addition, the regulation of wireless facilities, including the type of structure, is
intended to protect the scenic and aesthetic qualities of the Town of Southold. This article allows
wireless communication facilities in certain preferred locations to be reviewed and approved in
keeping with the Town's existing zoning and historic development patterns, including the size and
spacing of structures.
The proposed 80' height limitation within the Town Code protects the scenic and aesthetic
qualities of the Town with the understanding that to achieve adequate telecommunication
coverage town-wide,additional towers will be needed in preferred locations to resolve coverage
gaps and provide additional locations for carriers. The inclusion of emergency communications to
resolve gaps is a priority within the Town.
Telecommunications equipment was specifically mentioned.Article XVII. Wireless
Communication Facilities of the Southold Town Code was subsequently updated to include
greater protection of the scenic qualities and health safety and welfare'of the Town residents and
visitors.
A visual analysis titled Proposed Wireless Communications Facility Albertsons Marine(June 2023),
prepared by VHB Consultants has been submitted and reviewed.The study analyzed a one-mile radius
from the 150' proposed concealment pole and associated equipment using a crane test. The 12+foot Fire
Department antenna proposed on the concealment pole was included. It is recognized that the concealed
antennae design contributes to mitigating adverse impacts on scenic character. Furthermore, both carriers
have submitted evidence supporting their proposed antenna heights of 146 and 141 feet AGL for Verizon
and 132 feet for Dish. The Fire District also provided an engineering report from Integrated Wireless
Technologies(IWT)which states that"150 [feet of antenna height] is required to provide coverage at
levels acceptable for Public Safety communications systems and ensure the ability for the firefighter to
communicate during critical calls."
Based upon the analysis,the proposed action is consistent with this policy. Specific mitigation
designs have been considered:
1. Concealment pole design. All antennae, excluding the whip antennas at the top of
the pole,will be concealed.
2. Paint the pole with a neutral color to blend in with the sky. The applicant is
proposing a blue/gray color.
3. Screened by existing development,a six-foot tall chain link fence, and evergreen
vegetation. The applicant is proposing a staggered pattern of 6' tall evergreen trees
along the northern and western perimeter of the equipment,compound. The storage
of large vessels on the property, including sailboats with masts, is not in contrast
with the current surrounding land use patterns)or the proposed tower.
The following notable designs of the wireless communications facility design to lessen impacts
on policies were also considered:
1. Design to minimize impacts from flooding. According to New York State,a 12-
inch scenario sea level rise will affect the parcel. The compound should be
designed accordingly.
9
2. Design to minimize impacts to the health and safety of the population from FCC
Maximum Permissible Exposure(MPE) limits. "Antenna Site FCC RF Compliance
Assessment and Report by Pinnacle Telecom Group, dated August 22, 2022."
3. Structural integrity design to minimize impacts from a tower failure(Structural
Report Letter from Carpenter&Cross, Structural Engineers, dated September 22,
2023).
The site is cleared and improved;therefore,the proposed action will not result in the significant removal
or destruction of large quantities of vegetation.No significant adverse impacts to soils will result.
As proposed the action is recommended as Consistent with the Town of Southold Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program with community plans.
18. Consistency with Community Character
The wireless communication facilities and proposed 150' height of the monopole requires
numerous approvals and waivers outlined below(Planning Board Staff Report).
1. Planning Board:

An antenna support structure must include an area surrounding it that is free of other structures
and areas where people congregate, except the base equipment, with the radius equal to a
distance of two times the height of the structure.A smaller fall zone may be allowed if supported
by a report submitted by a qualified structural engineer. The structural engineer's report shall be
submitted to and reviewed by the Planning Board and corroborated by an independent consultant
hired by the Town that demonstrates a smaller fall zone is appropriate and safe.
Staff: A required fall zone for a tower at the proposed height of 150' would need to be equal to
300',which is two times the height of the structure.The applicant is requesting relief and has
submitted a Structural Report Letter from Carpenter&Cross, Structural Engineers, dated
September 22,2023.
4. §280-70(H)Federal aviation regulations.
Staff: Appendix F includes an FAA Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation Memo dated
December 12, 2022.
5. §280-70(l)Antenna support structures in the LI, LIO, MI, MII, B, and HB Zoning Districts are
subject to the following restrictions:
(1)Minimum lot size: in accordance with the bulk schedule for each zone.
Staff: The property is under the minimum lot size for the zone, and is a non-conforming parcel.
The MII zoning district requires 80,000 sq. ft. per use.There is a minimum lot size of 160,000 sq.
ft.to support the two uses(existing boat storage warehouse and proposed wireless facility),
therefore a variance is required form the Town Zoning Board of Appeals.
(2)Maximum height: 80 feet.
11
Staff: The applicant is requesting a waiver for this requirement as the proposed wireless facility
includes a concealed monopole of 150', exceeding the maximum allowed height by 87.5%. See

(2) Signs. Signs shall not be permitted on facilities except for signs displaying contact
information and safety instructions, which are required. Such signs shall not exceed five
square feet in surface area.
Staff:No signage is proposed. Applicant states that required contact and safety information will
comply with Town Code.
(3) Base station equipment shelter.
Staff: The proposed site plan includes a±2,450 sq. ft. fenced ground-based equipment
compound.As noted above,the rear yard does not comply with the required rear yard setback and
requires a variance from the ZBA.
12
(4) Base equipment landscaping.
Staff: The applicant is proposing a staggered pattern of 6' tall evergreen trees along the northern
and western perimeter of the equipment compound as shown on Sheets Z-08 (Verizon)and A-1C
(Dish). The position of the equipment compound behind the existing building limits its visibility
from surrounding areas. Infrequent views of the compound may be seen by LIRR passengers.
Plantings are planned for'the northern perimeter adjacent to the LIRR tracks to aid with screening
of base equipment. However,the plant species and height are shown only on Sheet Z-08 (Verizon
Wireless)of the Compound Plan. The applicant shows Emerald Green Arborvitae at a minimum
height of 6'.Due to the elevated nature of the ground equipment a taller screening tree and
fencing may be considered.
(5) Site lighting. The lighting permitted shall be the minimum required to protect the public
welfare. Facilities sited on existing developed sites shall be incorporated into the lighting
plans of those sites. Outside lighting shall usefully shielded fixtures so that the light source is
not visible from beyond the property line, and no light is reflected or shone towards the sky,
except in the case of structures required to follow FAA guidelines for safety lighting.
Staff: The applicant details a plan for work lights to be used by maintenance personnel on the
Equipment Plan(Sheet Z-09), Construction Details-1 (Sheet Z-12), Equipment Platform and H-
Frame Details(Sheet A-3), and Equipment Details— 1 (Sheet A-4). Cut sheets have not been
provided. Since this parcel has not been through the site plan process before,there is no lighting
plan on file for the existing developed site location.
Although the 150' height of the concealment pole is not fully consistent with community
character,the mitigation in design provided and the need for emergency communication services
at the height proposed and in this location are expected to result in low impacts to the area.
Based upon the above,no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to occur
should the project be implemented as planned.

f. Public Hearing; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Resubdivision policy set by the Planning Board on

approval shall expire and be null and void.
Install property boundary monuments to mark the new property boundaries.

SCDHS approval prior to their own approval, is simply waiving a technical requirement
of Final Plat Approval under the Town Code and makes no representations as to
whether SCDHS approval is required. SCDHS approval of this re-subdivision may be
necessary to be in compliance with the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, and to be eligible
for future construction or renovations.

this approval resolution. The Chairman will endorse the approval resolution once the
Health Department waiver is signed by both property owners.

Please Note: The Southold Town Planning Board, in waiving the requirement for
SCDHS approval prior to their own approval, is simply waiving a technical
requirement of Final Plat Approval under the Town Code and makes no
representations as to whether SCDHS approval is required. SCDHS approval of
this re-subdivision may be necessary to be in compliance with the Suffolk County
Sanitary Code, and to be eligible for future construction or renovations.
Southold Town Planning Board [4] December 19, 2023
The statement below must be signed by the property owners to validate this
approval resolution. The Chairman will endorse the approval resolution once the
Health Department waiver is signed by both property owners.
I understand that Southold Town Planning Board approval of this Resubdivision
does not grant, guarantee or waive an approval, if required, from the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services (SCDHS). I understand that I will need to
apply separately to the SCDHS for any applicable approvals.
