Land Tracking Report for the 2na Quarter of 2004 (April 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004)
Prepared July 27, 2004
Introduction
Information in this report is based on final approvals for subdivisions, building permits, land closings and
variances. Projects that involve both preservation and Planning approvals for non-subdividable lots will not be
tracked until both components of the projects are complete. A cumulative version of this report containing
information on all activity from April 1, 2004 onward will be produced beginning with the 3rd Quarter of 2004.
Current Acres ofSubdividable Buildable Land that is considered the Town's Preservation target:
R-40 ......... 479
R-80 ....... 2358
AC ......... 5089
These acreages are estimates based on the Town's GIS database as of April 1, 2004 and represent the subdividable
buildable land in the R-40, R-80 and AC zoning districts. These numbers will change over time as additional
information about individual parcels becomes available. The numbers will also change due to future rezonings
approved by the Town Board. Unbuildable land includes wetlands, rights of way, Coastal Erosion Hazard areas,
land developed residentially prior to April 1, 2004, preserved land, slopes greater than or equal to 15%, beaches,
etc. and is not included in the acreages above based on the best available information available at this time. Future
tracking reports will note changes to the numbers presented above. The numbers presented above do not match
those included in the 2003 DGEIS due to corrections made to the DGEIS work. For parcels that are split between
both AC & R-80 zoning the parcels were assumed to be completely within the larger of the two areas for
calculating the numbers above. To be subdividable a parcel must contain at least twice the minimum zoning
acreage of buildable land. All numbers presented below are based on Town-wide activity excluding Fishers
Island.
Del'tuitions
Residential Subdivision Rate: The residential subdivision rate is calculated as NUMBER OF NON-
SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED divided by the sum of ACREAGE OF
NON-SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED and ACREAGE OF
PRESERVATION. The NUMBER OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS
CREATED includes those created by both the Planning Board and the ZBA. Only ZBA approvals that create new
parcels compared to the Town Assessors' records as of April 1, 2004 will be included in the numbers above.
Further subdividable parcels will not be tracked until they become non-subdividable or preserved.
Residential Development Rate: The residential development rate is calculated as NUMBER OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS divided by the sum of ACREAGE OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS and ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION. Note that the
NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS may not equal the number of new
residential building permits actually issued in cases where permits for multiple family dwellings are issued.
Building permits issued on subdividable parcels will be included in this number with the developed acreage being
equal to the minimum zoning acreage. Should this development end up as part of a subdivision where it is
clustered to a smaller parcel or within a defined building envelope then the parcel or envelope size will be
considered the developed acreage and the numbers above will be adjusted. Renewal, accessory, remodeling, etc.
building permits are not included above.
Preservation Rate: The preservation rate is calculated as ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION divided by the sum of
ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and ACREAGE OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED
PERMITS.
Density Reduction: The density reduction is calculated as the difference of NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING and NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS
ISSUED PERMITS divided by NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY
ZONING. The NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING is calculated
as the ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION multiplied by the subdivision factor from the 2003 DGEIS plus the
NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS. The DGEIS factors are 0.8 for R-
40 and 0.4 for AC & R-80.
Tracking Statistics for the period April 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004
For the following numbers the Target acreage is the buildable subdividable land in the R-40, R-80 & AC zones.
Non-target acreage is anything in other zoning districts, non-subdividable land in the R-40, R-80 & AC zones and
unbuildable land.
