Name: Kyle Kibbe
Respondent ID: 114888957238
Q1: General Feedback: Do you feel the proposed zoning updates reflect the
needs of your community?
No / I just returned from the Fishers Island community meeting on 6/28 I do not think the
Fishers Island community's concerns are well focused enough at this time. I am unsure
whose voice will command the most attention.
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?
There are some potential workforce/affordable housing sites that I prefer over others.
Classifiable as NIMBY but I will work for and support the popular consensus.
Q4: Housing & Affordability: Do the updates support the kind of housing you
believe Southold needs?
Yes
Q5: What—if anything—would make housing options better for you and your
neighbors?
I believe dormitory style housing for migrant workers would free up affordable housing
now only used on a seasonal basis
Q6: Natural Resources & Environmental Protection: Do these updates
adequately protect Southold’s natural resources, such as water, wildlife, and
woodlands?
Yes
Q7: If not, what else would you like to see in the zoning code for environmental
conservation?
No response
Q8: Community Character & Historic Preservation: Do these zoning updates
help retain the character of the Southold you know and love?
No
Q9: If not, what do you think could be improved to preserve Southold’s unique
charm?
I think the question relates more to creating economic opportunities and the appropriate
technological infrastructure (WIFI Fishers Island!) Then housing and cultural growth will
follow.
Q10: Traffic, and Safety. Do the proposed zoning updates adequately address
concerns related to traffic congestion and pedestrian safety?
No
Q11: If not, what changes would you recommend to improve or prevent further
traffic congestion and improve pedestrian safety in Southold?
Bike and Pedestrian acknowledgement. Pedicab and bike rental.
Q12: Support for Agriculture: Do the zoning updates provide sufficient
protections for Southold’s farming industry and farmland preservation?
No response
Q13: If not, what changes would you suggest to further support agriculture and
prevent the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses?
I'm uninformed
Q14: Economic Development: Will the proposed zoning changes foster
sustainable economic development while balancing environmental and
community concerns?
No response
Q15: If not, how could the zoning updates better support the local economy
and businesses?
I hope so. I realize Fishers Island has a very specific set of challenges. I know this is not
particularly relevant But.... if the F.I. ferry were based here instead of in New London I
believe that would greatly help the local economy.
Q16: Additional Comments
Please consider newer trends in zoning and parking requirements. Eliminating these
minimums allows developers to use valuable land for other purposes, such as housing,
businesses, or public spaces, instead of dedicating it to underutilized parking lots.
Eliminating parking minimums can help reduce overall development costs, potentially
leading to lower housing prices and increased availability of affordable units.
