Datc: May 8, 2007 The Planning Board supports the "A Local Law in relation to an A!!ricuItural Planned Development District" with consideration of the following below comments: I. 280-174 Zoning Approval; Application and Review Procedures; Item F. Buildable Lands: Although the intent of establishing "Buildable Lands" for purposes of calculating yield on a parcel is clear. The mapping requirements needed to establish an accurate yield on a parcel is unclear. It is recommended to facilitate and expedite the process of calculatin!! yield on parcels in the pro!!ram: that the Application requirements list the non- buildable lands consistent with the ERSAP requirements listed in Chapter 240-10, Technical Requirements and require that the areas be mapped. This recommendation will also assist the Plannin!! Board and Town Board with the assessment and establishment of the "reserved areas for development" on participatin!! parcels As you are aware, Chapter 240 ofthe Town of Southold Town Code defines Buildable Lands" as: BUILDABLE LANDS n The arCi/ ofa 101 or parcel, nol in eluding Ihe sql{([re foolage oflidal andfi'esllll'iller \I'ellands, land seUll'ill'l1 oflhe eomral erosion hazard area line, beaches, blull", prinulIJ' dunes, serondary dunes, undenmler Ii/nds, land subjeello Ihe tramjer, sale or eXlinguishmcnl of dcvelopmelll righls and other rcstrirlions thai prcvenllhe use of such land for construclion of buildings or othcr dcvclopmcnl, The lerms "lVellands," "beaches, " "bluffs, " and "underlVater lands" shall huve Ihe meanings selforlh in Chapter 275, Wer/ands and Shoreline, of the TOlVn Code, The lerms "coaslal erosioll hazard area line," "primary dunes" and "secondCllJ' dunes" shall have the meanings selforth in Chapter Ill, Coasral Erosion Hazard Area, of the TOlVn Code, Chapter 240-10, Technical requirement of the Town of Southold Town Code, requires that the assessment of "Buildable Lands" is based upon an Existing Site Analysis Plan (ERSAP) analysis as well as verification from Town Boards that possess the jurisdiction to approve or disapprove such mapped features, Further, the physical design of a Conservation or Standard Subdivision is dependent upon a ERSAP analysis and the identification of Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas, 2. Chapter 280-180, Item A; states that "Any reserved area for development shall be set by the Town Board and defined in the Town Code"," It is recommended that the lee:al instrument to "define" a reserved area for development be further clarified. 3. Chapter 280-180, Item B; states that "Any structure proposed on a parcel zoned AG PDD will require the approval ofthe Land Preservation Committee." It is recommended that the section be clarified. Will the entire lee:al parcel be zoned Ae:PDD? Will structures located within the "reserved area for development" be required to apply for Land Preservation Committee approyal'? 4. Chapter 280-180 Item C; proposes that "any new non-agricultural structure must be located within 150 feet of the existing residential structure," This requirement may prohibit a well desie:ned subdivision and force development iu unsuitable areas. Many ae:ricultural parcels are currently developed with sine:le residential structures (homesteads) alone: the Town's New York State Scenic Byways and other roadways with important scenic qualities. This requirement would force the increased deyelopment of such areas. In addition, the layout of many of the Town's parcels in ae:riculture use are linear with prime ae:ricultural soils located in the center ofthe parcel. In these instances the Plan nine: Board may apply a "split-cluster" concept to include the areas that should be conseryed in open space. The requirement, as proposed, would preyent the Plannine: Boards ability to effectiyely apply the split-cluster, and achieve 200d desi2n relative to a parcel's characteristics. It is therefore recommended that the terms "if J}ractical" be added to the requirement. Please contact the Office of the Planning Board at 765.1938 with any questions.

WOODHOUSE Chair PLANNING BOARD OFFICE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD MEMORANDUM To: Scott RusseU, Supervisor Members of the Towu Board From: Jerilyu B. Woodhouse, Chairperson Members of the Planning Board Date: Augnst 28, 2007 Re: "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to an Agricultural Planned Development District." As requested, Planning Board and staff have reviewed the above-captioned local law proposal and support its adoption, with the following comments and/or recommendations: I. Section 280-181B states that "Any subdivision of AgPDD property must accomplish preservation of eighty percent (80%) of the parcel and density reduction of seventy five percent of the original yield." It should state that the preservation must be equal to a minimum of 80% of the buildable lands. 2. Section 280-18IC, states that in the event the Standard Subdivision option is pursued by the property owner, land preserved by the sale of development rights shall not be applied toward any preservation or subdivision open space requirement. This section of the legislation also refers to Chapter 240 of the Town Code with respect to the calculation of yield. However, to be clear it should also state within the proposed legislation that the preserved land shall not be used for the purposes of establishing yield. 3. A general concern of the Planning Board is how the proposed AgPDD will impact the existing Land Preservation Program. The Board has the same concerns as the Land Preservation Committee and defers to their memorandum to the Town Board dated August 23, 2007. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact this office.
