Appendix A
State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action
may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are
aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable, it is also understood that those who determine significance may have
little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many
who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance.
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination
process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or
action.
Full FAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts:
Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a
reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as
to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The form
also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is
actually important.
DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE -- Type I and Unlisted Actions
Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: [] Pan 1 [] Part 2 [] Part 3
Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information,
and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that:
[] A. The project will not result in any large and important impact{s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a
significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared.
[]
Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for
this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a
CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.*
[] C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the
environment, therefore a positive declaration w~ll I~e prepared.
*A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions

Part 2 - PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE
Responsibility of Lead Agency
General Information (Read Carefully)
· In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been
reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst.
· Identifying that an impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large
impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance, identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be
looked at further.
· The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of
magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for
most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate for a
Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3.
· The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have been
offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question.
· The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question.
· In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects.
Instructions (Read carefully)
a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact.
b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers.
c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to indicate the potential size of the impact. If
impact threshold equa(s or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than
example, check column 1.
d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large
impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked
at further.
e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3.
f. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate impact,
also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must be explained in
Part 3,

Supervisor, Town of Southold, Town Hall 53095 Route 25, Southold, NY 11971
Applicant (if any)
Other Involved Agencies (if any)
REASONS SUPPORTING THIS DETERMINATION:
The proposed action involves amending §A108 of the Town Code to revise and
update the Town's Highway Specifications. These changes are necessary to
ensure the safety, structural integrity, freedom from hazardous materials and
proper maintenance of the Town's highways.
The action itself involves no physical improvements, but it does provide the
standards by which future physical improvements to the Town's highways would
be constructed. The amendments improve the highway specification, and
importantly add specific language prohibiting the use of hazardous or regulated
waste products in highway construction. As a result, it can be concluded that the
proposed action will not result in any adverse environmental impacts.
Specifically:
1. The action will not result in a significant adverse change in existing air quality.
No negative impacts to surface or ground water features will result from the
proposed action. While surface and ground water features are located in direct
proximity to most of the Town's highways, the action will improve the physical
construction standard.
3. New long term, permanent noise impacts are not anticipated.
4. The project will not create any new flooding impacts.
The proposed amendments will not result in any change to traffic generation
volumes that currently exist or that might be expected in the future. The
enhanced highway specification will improve traffic safety through improved
highway design and construction. No significant adverse environmental impacts
are anticipated.
The new specification specifically addresses hazardous and regulated wastes,
and the contractors role in removing C&D debris used in highway construction.
The proposed amendments will not result in any adverse impact regarding waste
generation.
The proposed action will have no impact on land clearing and removal of
vegetation including significant trees. Therefore, no significant negative impacts
to vegetation are anticipated.
While individual highway construction projects must be separately assessed to
determine their impact on rare, threatened or endangered species of animals, or
the habitat of such species, the proposed action proposes stricter requirements
than the existing specifications. As such it can be concluded that the proposed
action will not result in any adverse environmental impacts.
The proposed action does not create a material conflict with the community's
current development plans or goals. The proposed amendments are consistent
with the Town's articulated goals. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
10. Individual highway construction projects must be separately assessed to assure
that they do not impair the character or quality of important historical,
archaeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources, or of existing community of
neighborhood character. However, it can be concluded that the proposed
amendments, will not result in any significant adverse impacts.
11.The proposed action will not result in a major change in the quantity or type of
energy currently used. No significant adverse environmental impacts are
anticipated.
12.The proposed amendments will not create as a hazard to human health, and will
in fact improve overall environmental conditions through the hazardous and
regulated waste restriction provisions. No adverse environmental impacts are
anticipated.
13.The proposed project will not result in as a substantial change in the intensity of
use of land including agricultural land, open space or recreational resources, or
in its capacity to support future uses.
14.This action will not result in changes in two or more elements of the environment,
which alone would not have as a significant effect on the environment, but when
considered together, would result in as a substantial adverse impact on the
environment.

COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I have a notice that it has appeared as a public legal in the local
newspaper, it has appeared out on the Town Clerk's bulletin board. I have comments from the
Southold Town Planning Board office, dated July 22. From Jerilyn Woodhouse, Chair. 'The purpose
of this proposed laxv is to amend the existing Highway Specs as they pertain to the construction of new
roads. The primary amendment is to expand the minimum required road width from 24 feet to 28 feet.
July 27, 2004
Public Hearing-Highway Specifications
The secondary amendments define "crushed concrete", prohibit the use of "construction and
demolition debris" in nexv road construction, and delete the use of granite curbs, otherwise knoxvn as
Belgian blocks. The reasons for these amendments are noted here briefly. The expansion of the
minimum road width is in response to problems experienced in some subdivisions xvhere multiple car
ownership has resulted in cars being parked on the street rather than in garages and driveways. The
Highway Department experienced obstacles in plowing these roads due to limited through passage
when cars where parked on both sides of the street. The 24 foot road ~vidth originally was intended to
be a cost-saving measure for affordable housing subdivisions but was printed as the standard minimum
road width. The proposed subdivision regulations provides the Planning Board with the ability to
waive the standard 28 foot wide road in the Affordable Housing District. The definition 'crushed
concrete' and the prohibition against the use of construction and demolition debris will enable the
Toxvn Engineering Inspector to prevent the use of contaminated debris in new road construction. The
deletion of granite curbing reflects the high maintenance cost associated with keeping Belgian block
curbs in good repair. These recommended amendments were discussed with the Planning Board by the
Highway Superintendent and the Town Engineering Inspector at the time they xvere proposed to the
Town Board. The Planning Board supports the amendments with one exception: the option to use
Belgian block should remain available to developers because of its aesthetic attractiveness compared to
concrete curbing." I have a note from the Suffolk County Executive, Department of Planning:
"Gentlemen, Pursuant to Sections A 14-14 to 23 of the Suffolk County Administrative Code, the above
referenced application is/are not within the jurisdiction of the Suffolk County Planning Commission."
And those are the only notices I have on this.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank you, Councilman Wickham. We offer the floor to the public on
this specific hearing. Would anybody care to address the Board? Mrs. Egan.
JOAN EGAN: Good afternoon, again. Joan Egan fi'om East Marion. The only question I have on
that, Mr. Horton, is, when Mr. Yakaboski was our attorney, I wrote to him asking who was in charge
of the curbing, who was responsible for it. I never received a decent reply. I also wrote to our new
Toxvn Attorney, Mrs. Finnegan, and asked her the same question and I have yet to receive a reply to
that letter. So at this point, I think the Belgian brick thing with all the lawsuits that the Highway
Department had last winter, I think that is a good step to eliminate it because, the less suits, the less
problems we have for the Highway Department is fine with me. So, I still at this point, do not know
who really is in charge or who repairs the curbing. Is it the responsibility of the owner?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: If roads are dedicated to the Town.
MS. EGAN: The curbing, though, is what I am ....
SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is part of the street, lfroads are officially dedicated to the Toxvn, the
Town is responsible for those.
MS. EGAN: Very interesting. And the driveways ....
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Driveways are ....
MS. EGAN: Drivexvays that come right to the road.
July 27, 2004 6
Public Hearing-Highway Specifications
SUPERVISOR HORTON: They are the responsibility of the homeowner.
MS. EGAN: Good. Now wouldn't it have been simple to send a letter in that effect.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank you, Mrs. Egan. Would anyone else care to address the Town
Board on this public hearing? Yes, sir.
RICH GLADD: My name is Rich Gladd, I live on Glen Court in Cutchogue. Could you explain to me
what amendments you made as far as the parking over there?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: The parking over xvhere?
MR. GLADD: At the end of Duck Pond Road.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: That public hearing we haven't gotten into yet. That will be, I believe that
is the last public heating. We will get into that public hearing.
IVlR. GLADD: That will be this evening, though?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, it will be. I can't guarantee what time this evening.
MR. GLADD: Okay, thank you. I don't know, I don't know. I don't come to these meetings.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Absolutely and I appreciate you coming to this. Would anybody care to
address the Board on this public hearing? Yes, Mr. Geiss.
GUNTHER GEISS: Gunther Geiss of Southold. What concerns me and I believe the other members
of the Police Advisory Board, is the possibility, which has already occurred, of having 24 foot
roadways, which has occurred in some of the affordable housing districts. When neighbors park
opposite each other, it becomes very difficult to pass through, particularly with larger vehicles such as
delivery trucks and emergency vehicles. And I wonder whether you ought not reconsider, I realize it is
not part of this resolution, but reconsider whether or not you want to allow narrow roadways just as a
cost saving, when in fact it may produce emergency service problems for the people in that residential
area.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Right. Your point is well made and those are points that the
Superintendent of Highways also made and I believe, the Planning Board concurs ~vith. Are there
other comments on this hearing in regard to the highway specifications? (No response) We will close
the hearing.
