Q1: General Feedback: Do you feel the proposed zoning updates reflect the
needs of your community?
No / it doesn't make any sense that a fence in your front yard cant be more than 4 feet high
but a hedge across the front of your property can be twenty feet high. Hedges that block the
property from the road are just as ugly and objectionable as a fence.
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?
it doesn't make any sense that a fence in your front yard cant be more than 4 feet high but a

property from the road are just as ugly and objectionable as a fence.
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?
An accessory apt. in your house should be allowed up to 50% not 25% as the update
indicates. Are you trying to promote additional housing or restrict it!
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?
automatic irrigation not allowed on grass unless you stand out there and water it with a
hose. stop putting houses in M2 zoning and calling it a good downgrade.
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?
lots should only allow small houses
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?
there is nothing in the zoning update that improves traffic congestion and no plan to stop
the increase of traffic that is coming. limit the buildout. promote fulltime residency
Q12: Support for Agriculture: Do the zoning updates provide sufficient
protections for Southold’s farming industry and farmland preservation?
Yes
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
Q15: If not, how could the zoning updates better support the local economy
and businesses?
no more part time tourism
