The Town of Southold Planning Board as lead agency has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. Name of Action: Standard Subdivision Evans Standard Subdivision SEQR Status: Type 1 Unlisted X Scoping: No X Yes_If yes, indicate how scoping will be conducted: Description of Action: This proposal is for the standard subdivision of a 5.68-acre parcel into 2 lots,where Lot 1 is 1.5 acres, and Lot 2 is 4.18 acres in the R-40 Zoning District. Location: 1050 Greton Court, Mattituck,NY Reasons/Documents Supporting This Determination: The Town of Southold Planning Board requires a review of the action to determine the magnitude, importance and probability of occurrence of potential impacts. A Full Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed. 1 SEAR Page 12 April 7, 2025 Impact Assessment: 1. Impact on Land The parcel is currently wooded and unimproved. Three lots could be developed as single-family residences per the requirements of the Town's Residential 40 Zoning Districts. A single-family residence is a permitted use in the zone. Moderate to large adverse impacts from the action are not anticipated if the outlined recommendations, the requirements of the Town Code, and the standards and conditions of all required permits and approvals are followed and implemented. 2. Impact on Geological Features There are no unique or unusual landforms on site.No impacts to unique or unusual geologic features will occur.National Wetlands Inventory identifies estuarine and marine wetlands occurring,on the parcel in the south. 3. Impacts on Groundwater and Surface Water The parcel is located within SCDHS Groundwater Management Zone IV (GMZ IV) and is not located within the boundaries of a NYSDEC Critical Environmental Areas. Test holes were performed in 2024, indicating no groundwater was encountered at 17' below grade. Public sewer is not available. The most significant potential for adverse impacts to groundwater quality in this location could result from residential and commercial sanitary systems in unsewered areas. Impacts may also result from applying chemicals,herbicides, and pesticides to each lot. Public water is available. Groundwater use is limited to daily household consumption and irrigation for single-family residences. The irrigation of lawn areas and landscaping consumes a large amount of groundwater. Public water service to the is proposed to be accessed via a water main in Greton Court. A Letter of Water Availability from the Suffolk County Water Authority is required. The following water conservation practices are recommended to minimize water use impacts. 1. The use of low-flow plumbing fixtures. 2. Irrigation controls: a. The use of drip irrigation systems is recommended. Rain barrels are encouraged. b. Total long-term permanent irrigation of each lot should be limited to 15% of the lot area not improved with structures. c. Soil moisture sensors should be used with irrigation systems, to water only when necessary, during times of low soil moisture. SEQR Page 13 April 7, 2025 d. Lawn areas should be seeded with improved turf species with deeper root systems and greater drought tolerance, thus requiring less irrigation than conventional turf species. Pollution Loading Potential indirect impacts on surface water include increasing pollutant loads from the subsurface (cumulative wastewater) and surface flow(stormwater). Nitrate (a form of nitrogen) is added to groundwater by septic systems in unsewered areas and lawn fertilization. Groundwater flowing to surface waters could contribute to an increase in nitrate and phosphorous resulting in low dissolved oxygen levels and hypoxic conditions under certain environmental conditions in surface waters. Hypoxia results from planktonic algae blooms feeding on nutrients. The algae die and settle to the bottom of the water body then decay, using dissolved oxygen in the process. The oxygen levels frequently fall below the levels necessary to sustain life and results in fish and shellfish die-offs. Correspondingly,the planktonic algae in high densities are toxic to shellfish and finfish. New technology in sanitary waste treatment has shown that the level of nitrates can be reduced through treatment using an Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment System(I/A OWTS). Due to the cumulative adverse impacts of sanitary waste, the treating (reduction) of total nitrogen in sanitary waste, to or greater than 19mg/L is now required for each residential structure. Furthermore, to mitigate nutrient loading impacts and encourage water conservation the Planning Board will require that the following best management practices are also filed within the Covenant and Restriction for the residential lots: a. Require the use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping. b. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture. c. Require a maximum of 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in any one application, with a.cumulative application of no more than 2 pounds per 1,000 square feet per year. d. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen,phosphorus, or potassium between November 1 st and April 1 st. e. 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. National Wetlands Inventory identifies estuarine and marine wetlands occurring on the parcel in the south. SEQR Page 14 April 7, 2025 A 100' wide no disturbance vegetative buffer landward of the wetlands to the 28' topographical contour is proposed. The buffer will protect the functions and values of the ecosystem from residential development in this low tidal energy waterbody and mitigate flooding. The action involves the grading of greater than one (1) acre in area coverage and a SPEDS permit and Notice of Intent from the NYSDEC will be required to control storm water and protect surface waters. The action is also subject to Chapter 236 Stormwater Management of the Southold Town Code. Adverse impacts from the single-family residences and potential to groundwater quality, quantity and surface waters are expected to be low due to the mitigation outlined above. 5.Impact on Flooding This area is projected to be inundated during a 100-year flood with 72/75 inches of sea-level rise in the lower elevations. Similarly,the lower elevations of the parcel are mapped in a FEMA flood zone with a 1% Annual Chance Flood Hazard. The structure placement within these areas has been avoided. Adverse impacts on flooding are expected to be low. 6.Impacts on Air Air pollution can harm human health, and damage elements of the ecosystem. Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The expected future uses on the parcel include residential structures and no moderate to large adverse to air quality will occur. 7.Impacts on Plants and Animals The NYSDEC Environmental Resource Mapper was referenced to determine if the parcel was mapped within a rare and endangered animal or plant area. The parcel is located within a Rare Plants and Rare Animals designated area. This location is in the vicinity of Bats Listed as endangered or threatened. Rare Plants and Rare Animals are not precise locations. Rather, they show those generalized areas where NY Natural Heritage has information in its databases regarding rare animals and/or rare plants. These generalized areas show the vicinity of actual, confirmed observations and collections of rare animals and rare plants: The precise locations, as well as the name of the animal or plant, are not displayed because some animals and plants can be harmed or disturbed by human activity. SEAR Page 15 April 7, 2025 The layer Rare Plants and Rare Animals includes generalized locations of species that are rare in New York State as a whole. These species include: • all animals listed by NYS as Endangered or Threatened • all plants listed by NYS as Endangered or Threatened • some animals listed by NYS as Special Concern • some plants listed by NYS as Rare • some species not officially listed by NYS, but which nevertheless are rare in New York. Animals and plants listed under New York State regulations as Endangered, Threatened, Special Concern, and Rare are protected under New York State law. Unlisted species, while not under the same level of regulatory protection as listed species, are ranked by NYNatural Heritage as rare in New York State, and therefore are a vulnerable natural resource of conservation concern. Rare Animals: Displays areas of New York State for which NYNatural Heritage has recent information on animals that are rare in New York, including those listed as Endangered and Threatened by NYS For most animals, recent means last observed and documented since 1980;for some animals, locations last confirmed before 1980 are also included. This layer also includes some locations with significant concentrations of more common animals, such as colonial nesting areas; and a few locations of habitats that have the potential for supporting rare animals. Rare Plants: Displays areas of New York State for which NYNatural Heritage has recent information on plants that are rare in New York, including those listed as Endangered and Threatened by NYS. For plants, recent means last,observed and documented since 1980. This layer also includes a few locations of habitats that have the potential for supporting rare plants. More detailed information about some of the rare animals and plants in New York, including biology, identification, habitat, distribution, conservation, and management, are available in NYNatural Heritage's Conservation Guides (animals and plants), NYSDEC's Endangered pecies fact sheets (animals), and in the USDA's Plants Database (plants).

If you have information on a rare animal or a rare plant,please fill out the Rare Species Reporting Form which can opened at the Contribute Data page and submitted electronically to the NYNatural Heritage Program. If there is NOT a proposed action or project, and you have a question regarding the areas shown in the Rare Plants and Rare Animals and Significant Natural Communities data layers: Please contact the New York Natural Heritage Program 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4757 NaturalHerityge@dec.ny.gov The parcel is wooded, and clearing limits will be applied to each created lot. Trees should be retained within perimeter buffers around each lot. The proposed building envelopes should not encroach on the limits of clearing. Clearing vegetation and/or grading is permitted only within the areas designated by the Planning Board and as shown on a final clearing and/or grading plan or plat approved by the Planning Board. The total area of Lot 1 that can be cleared is 35 percent or 22,869 square feet. Lot 2 is 20 percent or 36,423 square feet. Adverse impacts on plants and animals (including protected species) are expected to be low. 8. Impact on Agricultural Resources . The parcel is not located within the Agricultural Exemption District. The dominant soil group on the parcel includes Carver and Plymouth sands, with slopes increasing towards the wetland system by 15 to 30 percent. Slopes will be included within a 100' wide buffer landward of the wetland system. The soil groups do not have limitations for residential development. The proposed action will not result in the significant loss of prime soils or farmland on-site to development. 9. Impacts on Aesthetic Resources The single-family residences on lots 1 and 2 will,not be directly visible from a public viewpoint. Existing vegetation is proposed for screening. The potential adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to be low. SEQR Page 17 April 7, 2025 10. Impacts on Archeological Resources A Phase I Archeological Cultural Survey for the parcel was not required due to the lack of specific information related to the parcel. The CRIS system was referenced and no designations are listed. Adverse impacts on cultural/archeological resources are expected to be low. 11. Impact on Open Space and Recreation The parcel is in private ownership and the site does not currently offer public open space or recreational opportunities. There are no New York State parklands located within the vicinity of the parcel. Adverse impacts to open space and recreation are expected to be low. 12. Impact on Critical Environmental Areas The parcel is not located within a designated New York State Department of Environmental Conservation(NYSDEC) Critical Environmental Area. The proposed action is not expected to adversely impact a NYSDEC Critical Environmental Area. 13. Impact on Transportation The parcel has frontage on two streets: Greton Court and Maple Lane. Both are secondary collector streets. Greton Court is a public road and Maple Lane is not public. No access from Maple Lane is proposed. The two proposed lots will be accessed from Greton Court only via a single driveway., No street trees are proposed and electric and water services will be run underground to structures. Trip Generation Trip generation for vehicle trips from the two residential lots will be negligible. Twelve Daily Trips with 2 PM Peak Trips (81h Edition ITE Trip Generation Report) is estimated. Moderate to large adverse impacts to transportation are not expected. 14. Impact on Energy No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur. New construction will be required to meet Energy Star standards. Compliance with Town of Southold Chapter 1.72 Lighting, Outdoor (dark sky) for all lighting fixtures is required. SEQR Page 18 April 7, 2025 The expected adverse impacts on energy from the proposed action are low. 15. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light Noise impacts are expected. Adverse impacts from noise are expected to be short-term in duration and low from the construction of single-family homes. No uses capable of causing odors are expected. No street lights are proposed. Adverse impacts from odor and lighting are expected to be low. 16. Impact on Human Health Adverse impacts to human health are expected to be low. 17. Consistency with Community Plans The Planning Board provides buffering and screening to mitigate impacts to scenic views important to the community. Vegetated i(landscaped) buffers will be required between new residential lots and existing residential lots. On March 4, 2025, a Town of Southold LWRP Coastal Consistency Review was conducted for the proposed subdivision. It was recommended that the proposed action be found "consistent"with the Town of Southold LWRP. The preservation of scenic resources is goal established in many plans. The Towns Comprehensive Plan contains many goals and objectives to identify and protect scenic qualities from land and waters. A. Minimize introduction of structural design components (including utility lines, lighting, signage and fencing) which would be discordant with existing natural scenic components and character. It was decided that instead of requiring a street light on Greton Court (a dead-end road)—reflectors that indicate the road is ending be used instead. Residential lighting will be dark skies compliant (Chapter 172) and utilities serving the lots are required to be buried. E. Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to enhance scenic quality: The parcel is wooded, and clearing limits will be applied to each created lot. Trees should be retained within perimeter buffers around each lot. The proposed building envelopes should not encroach on the limits of clearing. Clearing vegetation and/or grading is permitted only within the areas designated by the Planning Board and as shown on a final clearing and/or grading plan or plat approved by the Planning Board. The total area of Lot 1 that can be cleared is 35 percent or 22,869 square feet. Lot 2 is 20 percent or 36,423 square feet. SEAR Page 19 April 7, 2025 A 100' wide no disturbance vegetative buffer landward of the marine wetland to the 28' topographical contour is proposed. The buffer will protect the functions and values of the ecosystem from residential development in this low tidal energy waterbody. 5.5.Protect and conserve the quality and quantity of potable water. The area is served by public water. Water supply and the adequacy of sustaining use during drought conditions are becoming more of a serious challenge. Water conservation practices are recommended to minimize water use impacts. 1. The use of low flow plumbing fixtures. 2. Irrigation controls: a. The use of drip irrigation systems is recommended. Rain barrels are encouraged. b. Total long-term permanent irrigation of each lot should be limited to 15% of the lot area not improved with structures. c. Soil moisture sensors should be used with irrigation systems, to water only when necessary, during times of low soil moisture. d. Lawn areas should be seeded with improved turf species with deeper root systems and greater drought tolerance, thus requiring less irrigation than conventional turf species. Further, it is recommended that the following best management practices are required to further policies 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 and protect the ground and surface waters of Southold. a. Require the use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping. b. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture. c. Require a maximum of I 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. d. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium between November I s`and April P. e. 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. The potential of the proposed action to conflict with the consistency of community plans is not expected to be significant. 18. Consistency with Community Character The subdivision is consistent with the community character, surrounded by similar zoning and single-family residences to the east and west. SEOR Page 110 April 7, 2025 To further protect the character, the Planning Board will eliminate new street lighting requirements to preserve the night sky and impose limits of clearing on each lot. The action will create a demand for police and fire services; however, the adverse impacts on the existing systems are expected to be episodic and low.

The Southold Town Planning Board, as Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Name of Action: Old Sound Vineyard SCTM#: 1000-122.-2-8.1 &24.4 Location: 9650 Old Sound Avenue SEAR Status: Type I ( ) Unlisted (X) Conditioned Negative Declaration: Yes ( ) No (X) Description of Action: This Site Plan proposes a 4,800 sq. ft. winery with a tasting room and basement storage, preserving an existing greenhouse and barn/potting shed, and repurposing a historic blacksmith shop for storage. The plan includes 29 parking stalls, pedestrian access to the winery, a building envelope for a future farmhouse, and designated areas for agricultural plantings. After Resubdivision,the 12.59-acre parcel spans R-40(±0.74 acres) and R-80 (±11.85 acres) zoning in Mattituck. The acreage of disturbance is 2.49 acres per email sent from Matthew Frascinella, Engineer, L. K. McLean Associates D. P. C. Reasons Supporting This Determination: An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed and it was determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment were likely to occur should the project be implemented as planned. 1. Impact on Land The surrounding land area to the parcel is residential and open space. To the North,there are three R-40 zoned residential parcels that directly abut the subject parcel along with Old Sound Avenue. To the East is a high-density affordable housing complex. To the South is the LIRR tracks and town recharge area. To the West is Suffolk County Open Space with R-80.Zoning. The parcel is split-zoned R-40 and R-80,with the proposed winery production building situated in the R-80 district, where wineries are permitted. No significant impacts to land will occur. 2. Impact on Geological Features No significant geologic features are on-site. 3. Impacts on Surface Water No freshwater wetlands are located on the parcel. Freshwater wetland systems are located to the west and south of the property on protected lands. This proposal will not impact them. Storm water will be controlled on-site pursuant to Chapter 236 Storm Water Management. Passive drainage controls are recommended. Significant adverse impacts to surface waters are not expected. 4. Impacts on Ground Water In 1978, the Long Island Regional Planning Board published the Long Island Comprehensive Waste Treatment Management Plan (208 Study). The 208 Study identified eight (8) Hydrogeologic Zones in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. These zones were distinguished based upon differences in underlying ground water flow patterns and water quality. The subject site is located within SCDHS Ground Water Management Zone IV, which, according to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, has an allowable flow of 600 gallons per day (gpd) per acre in areas served by public water. Ground water flows to the northwest and would be sourced from the Nassau-Suffolk Sole Source Aquifer and delivered to the site via the Suffolk County Water Authority System. A test hole indicates that ground water is greater than 17' from surface grade. Page 2 of 8 Article VI calculations for the use are as follows: 600 gpd x acreage 12.59 acres x 600 gpd =7,554 gpd allowable flow. The existing greenhouse, barn, and shed are assigned 104.32 gpd. The proposed tasting room requires 422.56 gpd;therefore, the flow is less than that assigned to the parcel.'Gallons per day were not shown for winemaking. The applicant proposes to utilize Hydro Action AN 500-C to treat the sanitary flow from the tasting room, which can treat nitrogen in sanitary wastewater. The system will better protect water quality. No moderate to large adverse impacts are expected to groundwater quality. S. Impact on Flooding The proposed action is located within an unmapped FEMA Flood Zone. Threat from flooding is, therefore, low to none. 6. Impact on Air No significant impacts to air quality would occur due to the action. 7. Impact on Plants and Animals The New York State Environmental Research Mapper(2009) was referenced to determine if records of rare or threatened plants or animals have been identified as occurring on site. This location is near Bats Listed as Endangered or Threatened -- If trees will be removed, it is recommended that the landowner contact NYSDEC Regional Office.The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis Septentrionalis) a species listed as threatened by both New York State and the US Fish &Wildlife Service may occur on-site. It is further recommended that the applicant contact the NYSDEC Regional Office to determine possible occurrence and discuss any additional regulations pertaining to the species. With assessment and management protocols in place for the species mentioned above, moderate to large adverse impacts to existing plants and animals are expected to be low. Most of the parcels' areas have been cleared and planted in grapes except the south portion of Parcel 2 where a few trees remain. The proposed access road, parking area, and tasting room are proposed in previously cleared areas or existing buildings. Therefore, no significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation will occur. Correspondingly, no substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species nor impacts on a significant habitat area are expected to occur. Page 3 of 8 8. Impact on Agricultural Resources The site is located within an Agricultural District. The total area proposed to be converted from agriculture lands is .16 acres. Impacts include filling of land with pavement to create an access road, a parking area, and paths to existing buildings. Soils from north to south on site consist of Cut and fill land, gently sloping Riverhead sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes, Plymouth loamy sand, 3 to 8 percent slopes Carver and Plymouth sands, 15 to 35 percent slopes, Plymouth loamy sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes with slopes ranging from 0-6 percent. All proposed improvements are proposed in the Riverhead sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes group. Site soils have been previously disturbed through clearing and development and therefore, the proposed action is not expected to result in significant adverse impacts to agricultural resources (soils). 9. Impact on Aesthetic Resources The parcel is visible from the public Old Sound Avenue Road to travelers by a 120' wide flag. Overflow land banked parking (7 spaces) is proposed against Old Sound Avenue. No vegetative screening is proposed to separate and conceal the parking area from view. Screening of vehicles is recommended. The site will not result in significant adverse impacts to aesthetic resources or to existing community or neighborhood character or result in a material conflict with the community's current plans or goals as officially approved. 10. Impact on Historic and Archeological Resources The parcel is identified as within an Archeological Buffer Zone layer on the NY State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) archaeological site inventory. A cultural resource survey is not recommended due to the proposed minimum ground disturbance. This layer represents buffer areas around recorded archaeological resources. Locations within these areas may not be archaeologically sensitive, and locations outside these areas may be archaeologically sensitive. Viewing this layer does not constitute "consultation"with the SHPO under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 or with DHP under Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act. The proposal is not expected to adversely impact cultural/historic resources. Similarly,the proposed action will not impair the character or quality of important, historic, architectural resources. 11. Impact on Open Space and Recreation Impacts to open space and recreation are not expected to occur due to this action. 12. Impact on Critical Environmental Areas The action is located within a Special Groundwater Protection and Critical Environmental Area.. Page 4of8 Sanitary wastewater treatment with a I/A OWTS Hydro Action AN 500-C is proposed. The following best management practices will be required to minimize the use of potable water for irrigation and the spread of fertilizers and pesticides in the public accessible area (non-planted) a. The use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping. Grass species with less high-maintenance and irrigation-dependency and drought-tolerant are recommended. b. All plant species shall be drought tolerant. c. Limit irrigation. d. The use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture. e. Apply a maximum of 1 lb. of nitrogen per 1,000 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. The expected adverse impacts to Critical Environmental Areas are expected to be low with the implementation of the above requirements. 13. Impact on Transportation The retail tasting room will generate traffic above the existing conditions on area roads and Old Sound Avenue. The below table shows the Average Annual Daily Totals, for Old Sound Avenue from Cox Neck Road to Main Road South by year. The actual counts taken in 2022 equaled 1881 AADT `rend AADT Z f31 .._ .___...._.._. - ._-...... ...-4&1 ; 9701 1 ——.... ._ 1.739 __; 18$.. 1-75-7....._ k r h ?

Noise and dust from vehicles passing over the access drives would be most noticeable. No significant moderate to large impacts to transportation will occur due to the action. 14. Impact on Energy A total of 40,000 kW kilowatts (demand) of electricity is proposed for use once the facility is operating at full capacity. Interior and exterior lighting will be connected to the existing electric service. No significant impacts from the energy use are expected to occur due to the action. Page 6of8 15. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light Exterior lighting will comply with Dark Sky Regulations pursuant to Chapter 172 of the Southold Town Code. Noise will comply with Chapter 180 Prevention of Noise. No odors are expected capable of impacting neighboring properties and affecting community character. Impacts from noise, odor and light are expected to be none to low as a result of the action. 16. Impact on Human Health Sanitary disposal will comply with SCDH Article VI regulations. No known creation of a hazard to human health is expected to occur as a result of the proposed action. 17. Consistency with Community Plans The working vineyard,winery and tasting room use proposed is in compliance with the zoning district. However,the action was recommended as Inconsistent with the Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Policies in a March 3, 2025 memorandum. Residential uses occur to the north, east and west of the property.The character of the area is residential and open space. The commercial, retail tasting room will impact the surrounding area with increased vehicle trips and noise reaching receptors although no moderate to large impacts are expected. The parcel is located in Long Island North Shore Heritage Area, a Regional Special Planning District designed to organize people, places and connections into a comprehensive and understandable approach. The proposed action is consistent with the plan. The action complies with the Southold Town Code and is not in conflict with the Southold Town Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy (2000) and Community Preservation Project Plan (2016 update) and the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan (2020). Adverse impacts of the proposed action on the consistency of community plans are expected to be low. The action is not inconsistent with community plans. Page 7 of 8 18. Consistency with Community Character Noise is expected to increase over ambient levels for the short-term during excavation of the site and construction of the paved areas. Noise from the commercial, retail tasting room operation is expected to occur. Quality of life impacts on the area residents are expected. Fugitive dust and noise from vehicles entering and exiting the access road and parking area will adversely impact people. The residence to the west does have vegetation (partial hedge) along the property line that will visually shield the access road, but be ineffective from vehicle noise. Mitigation is recommended. Based upon the above, no significant, adverse impacts to the environment are expected to occur should the project be implemented as planned.
