Respondent ID: 114891412108
Q1: General Feedback: Do you feel the proposed zoning updates reflect the
needs of your community?
No / Extending the commercial use option to the former Grebe property on Fox Avenue
does not seem to address community character or economic development as it would
encroach on the existing residential nature of that area. Of greater concern is that Avenue B
is north of that area and not part of the proposed change, but a driveway extending to
Avenue B would mean it might be used by commercial vehicles. Avenue B is ALL
residential, and it is a narrow road that cannot be widened. To allow commercial vehicles to
use that road as a departure/entry road would vastly change the character of that
neighborhood and pose a hazard to the many small children who live on that street.
Q2: Land Use & Zoning: Do these updates make sense for how you want to see
land used in Southold?
No response
Q3: Which zoning rules or land-use changes—if any—don’t work for you?
I am opposed to extending the current mixed residential/commercial use for the old Grebe
property, now Z&S, and allowing that property to be all commercial as doing so does not fit
with the current residentail character.
Q4: Housing & Affordability: Do the updates support the kind of housing you
believe Southold needs?
No response
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 response
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?
Some proposed changes do retain the character, but the proposed change for Fox Avenue
does not, at least the advantages have not been explained to me.
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?
Safe traffic flow and pedestrian safety would be compromised if Avenue B were to be used
as a departure/entry road for the Z&S property on Fox Avenue. As well the noise
component would compromise the character of the neighborhood.
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?
No response
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?
