Respondent ID: 114879449949
Q1: General Feedback: Do you feel the proposed zoning updates reflect the
needs of your community?
No / One of the main reasons for moving to this location was that there was a conscious
effort to preserve the agricultural spaces on the North Fork of Long Island. Specifically,
Southold Township. I’m sure that you have travelled west of us into what can only be
described as an example of poor land stewardship at best. The lack of appreciation for the
environment, bad planning, greed and ignorance has resulted in the worst examples of Long
Island’s suburban and industrial sprawl. Let’s not let that happen out here.
Q2: Land Use & Zoning: Do these updates make sense for how you want to see
land used in Southold?
No
Q3: Which zoning rules or land-use changes—if any—don’t work for you?
Do not zone for industrial use. Zone for agricultural use only. Preserve our farmland.
Q4: Housing & Affordability: Do the updates support the kind of housing you
believe Southold needs?
No
Q5: What—if anything—would make housing options better for you and your
neighbors?
No response
Q6: Natural Resources & Environmental Protection: Do these updates
adequately protect Southold’s natural resources, such as water, wildlife, and
woodlands?
No
Q7: If not, what else would you like to see in the zoning code for environmental
conservation?
Zone for agricultural use only. Preserve our farmland, wildlife and the water table.

help retain the character of the Southold you know and love?
No

charm?

traffic congestion and improve pedestrian safety in Southold?

protections for Southold’s farming industry and farmland preservation?
No
Q13: If not, what changes would you suggest to further support agriculture and
prevent the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses?
Zone for agricultural use only. Preserve our farmland, wildlife and the water table.
Q14: Economic Development: Will the proposed zoning changes foster
sustainable economic development while balancing environmental and
community concerns?
No
Q15: If not, how could the zoning updates better support the local economy
and businesses?
What is a job and income creator is agricultural land. The farms and vineyards provide jobs
and attract revenue and visitors.
