Home My WebLink About2005 3rd Quarter Town of Southold Land Tracking Report for the 3rd Quarter of 2005 (July 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005) Prepared October 26, 2005 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 summary covering all activity from April 1, 2004 onward is included in this report. Current Acres of Subdividable Buildable Land that is considered the Town’s Preservation target: R-40.........471 R-80.......2412 AC.........5110 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 and conversion of target land to/from Community Facilities (e.g. schools). Unbuildable land includes wetlands, rights of way, Coastal Erosion Hazard areas, land developed residentially prior to April 1, 2004, preserved land, beaches, etc. and is not included in the acreages above based on the best information currently available. 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. The AC target acreage noted above is 38 acres more than previously reported. This is due to the tracking system being set up to track projects that involved both Planning and Preservation components when both components of the projects were completed. This quarter there was one project that received Planning approval where the Preservation component closed prior to the beginning of the tracking and was in the Town’s database as not being part of the target. Based on the tracking system this acreage should have been considered part of the target. The R-80 target acreage noted above is 16 acres less than previously reported due to two errors in the Town’s subdividable parcels database. Definitions Density Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that contributes to density reduction, for example development rights purchases. Non-density Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that does not contribute to density reduction, for example clustered open space created through the subdivision process. Density reduction non-preservation: Land that contributed to density reduction but that is not considered preserved, for example certain covenants and restrictions. Acreage of Preservation: The acreage of preservation is calculated as the sum of DENSITY REDUCTION PRESERVATION and NON-DENSITY REDUCTION PRESERVATION. 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 and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION. ACREAGE OF NON- SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS will also include ROW and recharge areas created through the subdivision process. 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 and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-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 and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION. 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 sum of DENSITY REDUCTION PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-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 July 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005 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.
