Yes / I applaud the decision to include parking areas under impervious surfaces for the purpose of maximum lot coverage -- long overdue and very beneficial in terms of environmental protection and rural character. Q2: Land Use & Zoning: Do these updates make sense for how you want to see land used in Southold? Yes Q3: Which zoning rules or land-use changes—if any—don’t work for you?
