Lanza, AICP, Planning Director Date: July 29, 2008 Re: Bcd & Breakfast Operations in the MI & Mll Zoning Distric ts In answer to your request for comments regarding the addition of bed & breakfast operations to the MI &MII zoning districts allowable uses, I have reviewed the permitted and other special exception uses in each district. Both districts allow single family residences as a permitted use, and the M]I zone allows transient residential use (hotels) by special exception. Further, bed and breakfast operations are permitted by special exception by the Board of Appeals in the more restrictive residential zones. For the reasons stated above, I recommend that bed and breakfast operations be added to the uses permitted by special exception in the MI and MII zoning districts.

Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the following Policy Standard and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. 10.1 (b) Improve the economic viability ofwater-dependent uses by allowing for non-water dependent accessory and multiple uses, particularly water enhanced and maritime support services where sufficient upland exists. The proposed action, with appropriate siting, could be a water enhanced use, ancillary to a water dependent use. The term water-enhanced use means a use or activity which does not require a location adjacent to coastal waters, but whose location on the waterfront adds to the uublic use and enioyment of the water's edge These uses usually support the financial operation and viability of water-dependent uses. Marine 11 is more intensive than Marine L It permits more water-enhanced uses as well as a greater intensity of water-dependent development. For this reason, most Marine II sites are located directly on Peconie Bay or near the mouth of tidal creeks where flushing action is strong and where supporting infrastructure is available. The one exception to this rule is in Mattituck Creek on Long Island Sound (Reach 1) which contains Marine II zoning at the head of the Creek. The LWRP suggests that a mix of pcnnitted uses be reviewed to see if a more supportive mix of accessory uses appropriate to water-dependent uses should be added. Key factors in this review will be the capability of public infrastructure to support the revised mix and desired intensity of development. Such an assessment could be accomplished during the Zoning Board of Appeals review. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Town Board shall consider this reconvnendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
