Land Tracking Summary for the 1st Quarter of 2007 (January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007)
Prepared April 30, 2007
.
The most meaningful numbers from the attached Tracking report to focus on are as follows: Residential
Subdivision Rate, Residential Development Rate, Preservation Rate and Density Reduction. All of the other
numbers and definitions are used to calculate these four numbers. This page of the report will summarize these
four numbers for both the current quarter and cumulatively from April I, 2004 on for the target areas (buildable
subdividable R-40, R-80 and AC).
1st Quarter of 2007 Summary
Residential Subdivision Rate: 1 bnilding lot per 10 acres
Residential Development Rate: 0, that is no new dwellings were issued permits this quarter
Preservation Rate: 96%
Density Reduction: 100%
Cumulative Summary from April 1, 2004 on
Residential Subdivision Rate: I building lot per 12 acres
Residential Development Rate: I dwelling unit per 67 acres
Preservation Rate: 95%

Town of Southold
Land Tracking Report for the 1st Quarter of 2007 (January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007)
Prepared April 30, 2007
Introduction
Information in this report is based on final approvals for subdivisions, building pennits, 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 ....... 2399
AC .........4996
These acreages are estimates based on the Town's GIS database as of April I, 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 acreage noted above is 60 acres less than previously reported due to a subdivision approval from prior to
April 1, 2004 that was missing from the Town's database.
The building pennit total and acreage for target acreage in this report were reduced by one permit and 1.84 acres
respectively. This was done to account for a new dwelling permit that was tracked on an earlier report but never
acted upon. The parcel in question has now been completely preserved so this dwelling will never be constructed.
Adjustments were made to the cumulative totals for NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS
ISSUED PERMITS, ACREAGE OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS, Total Non-
target Acreage Developed and Building units on Non-target Acreage Developed. These adjustments were needed
to account for demolition permits issued by the Building department that had not been accounted for on earlier
tracking reports. Since these permits resulted in units being removed the numbers noted above were decreased
accordingly.
Defmitions
Densitv Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that contributes to density reduction, for example
development rights purchases.
Non-densitv 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 ROWand recharge areas created
through the subdivision process. The NUMBER OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL
P ARCELS 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 Develooment 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 DGBIS plus the NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS. The DGBIS factors are 0.8 for R-40 and 0.4 for AC & R-80.
Tracking Statistics for the period January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007
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.
