No / there should be greater adjustment to the code when applying setbacks and lot coverage for undersized lots. There should be alternative setbacks and lot coverage for lots that are affected by wetlands...apply the supplemental area setbacks for the buildable area (reduced size of buildable area) to avoid the need for variances. 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? several- how do I submit corrections needed? 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? tiny houses and stop adding extra restrictions to accessory apartments for family or affordables.
