Responses to the Existing Resources and Site Analysis Plan ("ERSAP') c. Water Resources Wetlands pursuant to the Freshwater Wetlands Act, Environmental Conservation Law ("ECL ") ~24-0101, et seq., the Tidal Wetlands Act, ECL 3~25-0101, et seq., and Chapter 97, Wetlands and Shoreline, of the Code of the Town of Southold New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC") Freshwater Wetland Maps of Suffolk County (Map 6 of 39), National Wetland Inventory Map (Map Number 822) and NYSDEC Tidal Wetlands Map (Map Number 716-548) (see Attachment A) were consulted as to the presence of wetlands on the site or in the vicinity thereof. It was determined that no wetlands are on or adjacent to the site. In addition, Orland J. Blanchard, Jr. Ph.D. of Freudenthal & Elkowitz Consulting Group, Inc. ("F&E") conducted an ecological study of the subject site on June 24, 2002 (see Attachment B), and did not observe wetlands on or near the site. Subsequent inspections by F&E personnel confirmed these findings. [2] Sole source aquifers and/or aquifer recharge areas. The site is located in Hydrogeologic Zone IV, which, according to The Long Island Comprehensive Special Groundwater Protection Area Plan (1992), is characterized by shallow flow systems that discharge to streams and marine waters. Thus, the property is not situated within a deep recharge area. In addition, the site is not situated within the boundaries of a Special Groundwater Protection Area. However, the site is situated over Long Island's sole soume aquifer. [3] Municipal water supply watershed areas. The site is served by public water supplied by the Suffolk County Water Authority, which has provided a letter of availability for the proposed development. Areas legally protected by the County of Suffolk, the Town of Southold, private trusts, qualified conservation organizations or other entities or agencies as shown on the Town of SouthoM Protected Lands map, including all abutting parcels. A review, on both June 15, 2006 and September 30, 2008, of the Town of Southold Protected Lands map and associated legend, dated August 7, 2001 (see Attachment C), illustrates that there are no areas legally protected by the County of Suffolk, the Town of Southold, private trusts, qualified conservation organizations or other entities or agencies on or abutting the site. Furthermore, review of the Town of Southold Community Preservation Project Plan map, dated January 1, 2003, also indicates that the subject site and adjacent parcels are not currently protected under said plan. However, the property north Of the Long Island Railroad ("LIRR"), which is north of and adjacent to the subject site, is labeled to be protected under the current plan update. I/egetative types described by plant community, relative age and condition on the property according to: [l] General cover type, including cultivated land, permanent grass land, oM field, hedgerow, woodland and wetland. According to the ecological survey conducted in June 2002 by Dr. Orland J. Blanchard, Jr. (see Attachment B), there is landscape vegetation (lawn, shade trees and various plantings) located on the southern portion of the property, abutting Main Road. Immediately to the north of the landscape vegetation, is an open, mowed area, and to the west of the mowed area is young woodland. Farther to the north, and comprising approximately two-thirds of the site, is a post-agricultural old fielddshmbland. As previously discussed, there are no wetlands on or near the site. A complete ecological inventory is included in Attachment B. [2] Isolated significant trees with a diameter breast height ("DBH") in excess of 18 inches, the actual canopy line of existing trees and woodlands. The Topographical Survey of Property Situated in Southold, dated February 15, 2006, last revised March 28, 2006, and prepared by JM Land Surveying, depicts the locations of the isolated significant trees with a DBH in excess of 18 inches, hedgerows, and the actual canopy line of existing trees and woodlands. h. Scenic viewsheds and special features: [1.] Sites bordering designated state, county or Town scenic byways and corridors special features identified in the Town's Comprehensive Plan and all subsequent updates. F&E has had difficulties obtaining definitive documentation of the most recent Comprehensive Plan.~ However, review of the New York State Department of Transportation's website2 and the National Scenic Byways Online website3 (sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration of the United States Department of Transportation) reveals that Main Road (also known as "New York State Route 25") is part of the New York State-designated scenic byway known as the "North Fork Trail Scenic Byway." In addition, according to the Final Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (November 2004) (hereinafter the LWRP ), Main Road is nominated as a scenic byway in the Town of Southold's Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan (adopted in July 2001), and is depicted on Map 11-18 of the LWRP as a "New York State Scenic Byway" (see t In an effort to ascertain the "Town's Comprehensive Plan and all subsequent updates," Tammy Hasenzahl of F&E spoke with the Town of Southold Clerk office, who was unaware of such documentation. Candice Andre of F&E made a subsequent inquiry to the Town Planning Department, in which Scott Hilary, Planner, indicated that the Town is currently utilizing the Town of Southold DGEIS, which includes a compilation of 25 documents, available through the Clerk's office. In speaking with the Clerk's office, it was indicated that the only current DGEIS available related to the Town's Transfer of Development Rights Program. 2 http://www.dot.state.ny.us/scenic/nysb.html and http://www.dot, state.n¥.us/scenic/nofork.html, accessed July 19, 2006 and September 30, 2008. 3 http://www.bvwavs.org/, http://www.byways.org/browse/statesfNY/, and http://www.byways.org/browse/byways/636 l 1/travel.html, accessed on July 19, 2006 and September 30, 2008. 4 Main Road is referred to as "SR 25" in the LWRP. 2 Attachment D). Therefore, based on the foregoing, the site borders a state-designated scenic byway. [2] A viewshed analysis showing the location and extent of views into the property from public lands, roads and from public parks, public forests, and state game lands. Attachment E provides photographs that depict views of the southernmost area of the site that borders Main Road. The southern area of the site is the only section that can be seen from a public road (i.e., Main Road). There are no other public lands, roads, parks, forests or game lands with views into the property. In addition, to illustrate the views under the post-construction condition, photographic simulations were prepared by Michael Berardesco Studios, Inc. (see Attachment E). The simulations were created from several viewpoints along the south side of Main Road, including one from directly in front of the proposed access drive, and several from both east and west of the subject site. From these simulations, it is evident that them would be minimal to no views of the proposed development from Main Road. There would be minimal views, consisting of the access drive, portions of one of the proposed buildings, and existing structures from directly across Main Road. However, to travelers to the east and west along Main Road, the proposed development would, for the most part be impemeptible. The existing conditions photographs and the photographic simulations illustrate that there are treed buffers that help obscure the views of new development. Furthermore, the majority of the southern portion of the subject site, which is the most visible to viewers along Main Road, would be maintained as currently exists. Locations of all archeological and historically significant sites or structures of national, state or local significance on the tract or on any abutting tract. According to the website of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Places ("OPRHP"),5 the subject site is situated within an archaeologically-sensitive area. Furthermore, the existing residence, the Albertson House, was reviewed by the Society of the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities ("SPLIA") and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Given the substantial ground disturbance caused by previous usage of the site as farmland, correspondence was sent to OPRHP on July 14, 2006 requesting concurrence that historical agricultural use and existing development have disturbed the soils on the subject property such that no such intact archaeological resoumes would be expected. OPRHP responded in a correspondence dated August 3, 2006, and recommended that a Phase I archaeological review be conducted (see Attachment F). Therefore, the applicant retained the Institute of Long Island Archaeology ("ILIA") to conduct an amhaeological survey (Stage 1 and 2) of the subject property. A copy of the Stage 1, which recommended further investigation in specific portions of the subject property, is included in Attachment F. The Stage 2, which will be submitted under a separate cover, was completed in October 2008. The ILIA concluded that the amhaeological deposits do not seem to have the potential to provide additional information of past lifeways. s http://www.oprhp.state.n¥.us/nr/main.asp, accessed June 22, 2006 The site lacks integrity and it is unlikely that any unmapped buried outbuildings remain. Therefore, no further archaeological investigations are recommended.6 k. Locations of trails in current use or of historic use (pedestrian, equestrian, bicycle, etc.) or those proposed on the Town of Southold Trail Map. Review of available Town of Southold resources indicates that there are no known trails (pedestrian, equestrian, bicycle, etc.) on or adjacent to the subject property. According to the LWRP, there are no formal trail systems within the Town. However, future trails are depicted on Map 11-13 of the LWRP, and designated bikeways are shown on Map 11-18 of the LWRP. It should be noted that these trails and bikeways are not on or adjacent to the site. In addition, the LWRP refers to a proposal entitled The Seaview Trails of the North Fork: Southold Town's Alternative Transportation Initiative (Town of Southold, August 1995) that includes a plan to develop the trail system. The Town of Southold's website provides a brochure entitled Seaview Trails: Town of Southold Bicycle Trails, and a review of this brochure shows that no trails are on or adjacent to the subject property. Furthermore, the Town's website also includes a map titled Trails of the North Fork (see Attachment G), which does not indicate any trails on or adjacent to the subject property. Further internet reseamh yielded a Southold Trails and Habitat Delineation that was prepared by the Comell University Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County. However, no trails are depicted on or adjacent to the subject property. Finally, a Short Bike Rides map of Southold-Bayview also indicates that there is no trail on or adjacent to the site (see Attachment G). m. Agricultural Lands [1] Location and delineation of any active agriculture operation, active farmland within a New York State certified Agricultural District, lands within 2,000 feet of a New York State certified Agricultural District, or soils classified and mapped as Suffolk County and State Prime Farmland Mapping Units, of the New York State Soil Classification System or areas legally protected by the County of Suffolk, the Town of Southold, private trusts or other entities or agencies. A review, on both June 15, 2006 and September 30, 2008, of the Town of Southold Farmland Protection Strategy map and its associated legend, dated September 1, 1999 (see Attachment H), shows that the site and adjacent parcels are categorized as "Land Not In Agricultural Use." Some properties within 2,000 feet of the site are categorized as "Unprotected Land In Agricultural Use" and "Protected Land In Agricultural Use." It should be noted that the northern border of the site abuts the LIRR tracks, and property just north of the LIRR tracks is a designated agricultural district according to Roy Fedelem, Suffolk County Department of Planning (see aerial photograph in Attachment B). In addition, the site is comprised of Haven loam, 0 to 2 percent soil ("HaA"), which is classified as agricultural soil (i.e., New York Agricultural Land Classification - Suffolk County, soil group 1). The standing Albertson House was not evaluated as part of the archaeological investigations. 4 As previously discussed, according to the Town of Southold Protected Lands map, dated August 7, 2001, there are no areas legally protected by the County of Suffolk, the Town of Southold, private trusts, qualified conservation organizations or other entities or agencies on or abutting the site. [2] Areas identified in the Southold Town Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy 2000 and in the most current version of the Southold Town Farmland Inventory. According to John Sepenoski, Deputy Supervisor of the Town of Southold, the information referred to as the "Southold Town Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy 2000" and the "Southold Town Farmland Inventory" has been updated and is presented on one map -- the Town of Southold Farmland Protection Strategy map. A review, on both June 15, 2006 and September 30, 2008, of the Town of Southold Farmland Protection Strategy map, dated September 1, 1999, shows that the site and adjacent parcels are categorized as "Land Not In Agricultural Use." Some properties within 2,000 feet of the site are categorized as "Unprotected Land In Agricultural Use" and "Protected Land In Agricultural Use." Critical environmental areas: lands within or contiguous to a critical environmental area designated pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law. According to the NYSDEC website, the site is not within or contiguous to a critical environmental area. In addition, the site is not within or contiguous to the Central Pine Barrens, and is not situated in an SGPA. p. Significant natural areas and features: [1] Areas with endangered and threatened vegetation According to the previously-mentioned June 2002 ecological survey conducted by F&E (see Attachment B), no endangered, threatened, rare or special-concern animals, plants or natural communities -- as classified by the NYSDEC Natural Heritage Program ("NHP"), NYSDEC or the United States Department of the Interior -- were found at the site. Significant habitats or habitats of endangered, threatened or special concern species as determined by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (Natural Heritage Program) Correspondence received from NHP, dated June 29, 2006 (see Attachment I), indicates that there are four vascular plants classified as "threatened," which occur, or may occur, on the site or in the immediate vicinity of the site. However, as previously indicated, no threatened or endangered species were identified on the subject property in the 2002 ecological survey (see Attachment B). [3] Mature forests over 1 O0 years old A small portion of the site contains a residence and associated structures, and the majority of the site was previously used for agricultural purposes. In addition, no mature forests were identified during the June 2002 ecological survey. [4.] Locally important vegetation See the ecological inventory and NHP correspondence in Attachments B and I, respectively. [5] Unique natural or geological formations based on available published information or more detailed data obtained by the applicant. There are no known unique natural or geological formations on the site. Recreation: lakes, ponds, or other significant recreational areas, or opportunities or sites designated in the Town's Comprehensive Plan and updates to it. The subject property is not adjacent to any lakes, ponds or other water~vays. In addition, there are no recreational areas on or adjacent to the site.

Attachment B FREUDENTHAL & ELKOWITZ CONSULTING GROUP, INC. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH Site boundaries are appro×Jmate~ AN ECOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE SOUTHOLD-AMATO SITE The subject site was inspected on Jm~e 24, 2002 for the purpose of conducting an ecological survey. The property fronts on a mixed commercial and residential portion of New York State Route 25, east of the center of Southold, and extends northward to its northern boundary at the Long Island Railroad right-of-way. The portion of the property abutting Route 25 includes a residence with associated lawn, driveway, shade trees and various plantings, humediately to the north is an open, mowed area, and to the west of this, a young woodland. Further to the north, and comprising about two-thirds of the site, is a post-agricultural old field/stmtbland. A total of 72 species of plants were identified at the site, including 30 woody species and 42 herbaceous plants (see Appendix). In addition, the following numbers of animal species were recorded: one manuual, nine birds, 10 butterflies and two odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) (see Appendix). Not included in this study are those ornamental plants, lawn grasses, etc. associated with the residentially-developed portion of the property. The presence of these ornamentals and grasses is not the result ora natural process, and thus, they are of rninimal ecological significance to the site. Three ecological commuinties may be discerned, using as a basis the classification scheme of Edinger et al., 2002, which is a second edition in draft form of Carol Reschke's 1990 "Ecological Communities of New York State." These communities are 1) Successional Old Field, 2) Successional Shrubland, and 3) Successional Southern Hardwoods. Successional OldField and the next successional coma~unity type, Successional SN'ubland, together form a patchwork in which the main distinction is the density o f shrub s--whether or not slumbs form 50 percent or more cover (Edinger et al., 2002, p. 81). The vegetation of the entire northern two- tlfirds of the site is comprised of such a patchwork. Aerial photographs (e.g. W'm-ner et al. 1975, map 9) indicate that the land was open and apparently cultivated as recem]y as 25 to 30 years ago. Tkis was substantiated in conversation with the occupants of the on-site residence, who indicated that the northern pm't of the area had been organically farmed and that the farming had ceased between 1980 and 1988. The Old Field component is dominated on-site by Goldenrods (~olidago spp.) and various grmuinoids (grasses and grass-like plants) among which are Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata), Blue Grass (Poa sp.), Sweet Vernal Grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Path Rush (Juncus tenuis), Bent Grass (Agroatis sp.), Sedge (Carex sect. Ovales), Quack Grass (Elytrigia repens), Canada Blue Grass (Poa comjoressa), Velvet Grass (Holcus lanatus), Downy Chess (Bromux tectorum), and Timothy Grass (Phleum l~ratense). Many other forbs (broad-leafed herbs) are present in addition to Goldenrods. Some are Queen 2Mine's Lace (Daucus carom), Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus), Conunon Milkweed (AscleRias ayriaca), Hawkweed (Hieracium caespitosum), Common St.-Jolm's Wort (Y-ly. pericum perforatum), Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Red Clover (Trifolium pratense), Indian Hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), Bird's- foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculata), English Dhsy(Leucanthemum vulgate), Cat's Paw (Hypochoeris radicata), Sheep Sorrel (Rwnex acetosella), Deptford P~nlc (Dianthus armeria) and White Clover (Trifolium repens). Shrubs, tree saplings, and woody vines are scattered in the Successional Old Field, and are present in greater density in Successional Shrubland, where they effectively out-compete the earlier- established herbaceous species. The dominant woodyplants in both successional types are saplings of Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) and Red Cedar (Juniperus vir~niana), Bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica ), Asiatic Bittersweet ( Celastrus orbiculatua) and Poison IW ( Toxicodendro n radicans). Less common saplings are Black Walnut (.7uglans nigwa), Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Sycmnore Maple (Acer£seudot~latanus), Norway Maple (A. ]vIatanoides), Pine (Pinus sp.), Wtfte Mulberry (Moms alba), Gray Birch (BetuIa]vopulifolia), Cottonwood (PoIvulus deltoides), and Box eider (Acer negundo). Additional shrubs include Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora), Dwarf Sumac (Rhu~ copallinum), Japanese Barb erry (Berberis thunbergii), Northern Dewberry (Rubus flagellaris), Arrowwood (Viburnum recognitum), Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), Autmun Olive (Elaea~us umbellata), Privet (Ligustrum sp.), Honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.) and Groundsel Bush (Baccharis halimifolia). Additional woody vines are Grape (Vitis sp.), Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus sp.) and Japanese Honeysuckle (Loniceraja?onica). To the south of this early-successional patchwork and west of the mowed-grass area is a small area comprising the third type of ecological connnunity on the site: Successional Southern Hardwoods. This area had to have developed over a longer period of time than the fields/shrublands fm-ther north to have attained its more advanced successional stage. Trees there include Black Walnut, Black Oak (Quercus Yelutina), Box elder and Sycamore Maple. Shrubs are Multiflora Rose and Privet, while vines include Asiatic Bittersweet, Poison Ivy and Japmrese Honeysuckle. The woody grnundcover plant called Periwinlde (Vinca minor) is present, but the dense shade supports only a few herbs: Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) and Indian Strawberry (Duchesnea indica). Two other vegetation types are present--Mowed Lawn and Mowed Lawn with Trees. These are both listed by Edinger et al. (2002) among a group of so-called "terrestrial cultural" communities (i.e., commun/ties that are created or maintained by human activity). As noted earlier, these are of unnatural establishment and are of little ecological significance on site. Accordingly, they are not discussed fm-ther here. Nine species of birds were noted during the ecolo~cal survey. Five are regarded as connnon subusban birds on Long Island (Wade et al., i990): American Robin, Corrosion Grackle, European Starling, Gray Catbird and Northern Cardinal. Two others, the American Goldfinch and Comm~on Yellowtbroat, are characterized as "typical old field and edge species." The remafl~ing two observed birds species are either cmmnonly associated with wetlands (Red-winged Blackbird) or with man- made structures (Cl~mney Swift). The swift apparentlynests elsewhere, but feeds over the site. The red-wing, despite its notedpreference for wetlands (there are no wetlands on or near the subject site), "also breeds readily in upland gassy fields, often some distance fzom water" (Andrle & Carroll, 1988, p. 468). Other birds that might be expected ha the old field/sluaibland part of the site are Brown Thrasher (Toxoxtoma rufitm), Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus), Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla), and Song Sparrow (Meloxpiza melodia) (Edinger et al., 2002; Andrle & Carroll, 1988). Additional conunon suburban birds that may use the residential and successional southern hardwoods parts of the site are Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus), Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), Black-capped Chickadee (_Poecile atricapillu~), Northern Mockingbird (Mimuspolyglottos) and Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) (Wade et al., 1990; Andrle & Carroll, I988). White-tailed Deer were the only mammals actually seen at the site, and these were in the form of two fawns, encomxtered separately during the survey. Connor, in his "The Mammals of Long Island, New York" (1971) stated that "on the kighly agricultural north fork of the island, cottontails were very numerous wherever there were trees or bushes," so it is likely that the Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagusfloridanus) is present on the site too. Connor also illustrated a weedy field near Hampton Bays on the south fork (fig. 11) and indicated in the legend that the following mammals were present: Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda) and Pine Mouse (Pitymys pinetorum), both abundant; Meadow Mouse (Microtux pensylvanicus), uncommon; and Eastern Mole (Scalopus aquaticus). It is likely all of these also occur on the subject site (at least in the northern portion). 4 bio species of herpetofanna (reptiles and amphibians) were discovered on the subject site during the survey. According to the New York State Depamnent of Enviromnental Conservation New York State Ampl0/bian and Reptile Atlas Project (www.dec.state.ny.us/~-ebsite/dfwmz/wildlif¢/herp/, accessed 22 July 2000), 16 herpetofannal species were reported from the area of the Southold Quadrangle during the decade 1990-1999. Subtracting the 12 species that m-emote-or-less obligately associated with permanent fresh or salt water, leaves the following four~ Bnfo woodhousii fowler/ Heterodon platirhinos Terrapene c. carolina Tharrmophis sirtalis Fowler's Toad Eastern Hognose Snake Eastern Box Turtle Eastern Gm'ret Snake On eastern Long Island, the toad and box turtle are described as common and the garter snake as abundant, but the hognose snake is listed as uncommon (Sabin, 1995). Tl~us, it is likely that ail except this last species might be expected to occur at the subject site. Ten butterfly species were seen at the subject site. Butterfly flight periods are of short duration, and different species fly at different times. Consequently any single visit captures information only on a limited segment of the indigenous butterfly diversity. A separate survey two weeks earlier in an agricultural area of Calverton some 18 miles to the west turned up five corrmaon species not seen in Southold: Everes comyntas Papilio polyxenes Pholisora catullus Phyciodes thru'os Vanessa virgin/crisis Eastern Tailed Blue Black Swallowtail Common Sootywing Pearl Crescent American Lady These five, and undoubtedly several others, also probably occur on the subject site. 5 No endangered, threatened, rare, or special-concern ankmals, plants, or natural cormnunities--as classified by the New York Natural Heritage ProD'am (Nt~), or by NYSDEC, or by the U.S. Department of the Interior--were fom~d at ~d~e subject site (see ]:-U'rlP, 2001; Young, 2002). :.~!!etter has been sent to the New York Natural Heritage Progran~ (NI{P) requesting any information available in their data bases on rare species or communities at the subject site. A reply is being awaited. One plant species on site is hsted by NYSDEC as "exploitably vulnerable." Apparently, Bayben-y (Myrica pensylvanica) is judged to be potentially subject to harvesting for commercial or other purposes. In fact, it is the dominant shrub on two-thirds of the site, and in the last 14 years of similar ecological surveys throughout Long Island it has turned up at 54 other sites as well. Further confirmation of its secure status may be foand in the recent "New York Metropolitan Flora Woody Plant Workbook" (Clemants, 1999) where a map of its distribution (p. 204) shows Bayberry to be of frequent occurrence in the region.

Transportation Planning: 1992-2002 Created as an ad-hoc committee in 1992 by the North Fork planmng Conference (a citizen's advocacy group) and the Stewardship Task Force, the Transportation Con'anittee spearheaded planning for recreational trails and improved intermodal linkages. Upgraded to a standing Town committee in 1994 by the Town Board, the Committee was charged with "Present(ing) a Transportation Model, including a comprehensive scenic byway/corridor management plan, which addresses the use and protection of local resources, and their impact on town residents, for recreational and economic benefit through an innovative road-rail-trail-waterways network while maintaining the scenic, historic, and rural characteristics of the Town, as well as to guide its subsequent implementation." In accordance with this charge, the Committee held a Transportation Symposium on October 12, 1994, the purpose of which was to review the history of transportation in Southold, to examine the current and potential congestion and other problems with the existing transportation network and to discuss alternative approaches to managing these problems. The symposium stressed the potential usefulness of intermodalism to easing exis(mg and future traffic problems. Efforts were made to highlight the public-private parmerships that would be necessary in order to bring some of the intermodal projects into being. The Committee has continued to make tremendous strides forward since then, particularly given that it is composed of volunteers assisted by Town and State planning staff. Seaview Trails of the North Fork In 1995, the Committee formally launched Seaview Trails of the North Fork, an Alternative Transportation Initiative. This three-phase program calls for a series of scenic trails throughout the township complemented by a kayak-accessible water-trails component. Phase I is being implemented. Trail markers have been designed, and are being installed for roadside trails. Still in development is the off-road trails component. Presently the Committee is working with Planning staff, the Land Preservation Committee and the Peconic Land Trust to develop a coordinated strategy for timely acquisition and management of trail easements over private property in key scenic areas throughout the Town. Funding for Seaview Trails was provided by a mix of in-kind services and Planning Board recreation funds which were greatly enhanced by a federal ISTEA grant in the amount of $393,000. Funding for Phase III, the design and development of kayak launching sites for the water-trails component, has not yet been secured. Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan In 1997, the Transportation Committee received authorization to proceed with the Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan for which it received $55,000 in matching funds from the New York State Department of Transportation. Consultants were retained to assist in the development of plan. The need for the Corridor Management Program came out of a recognition of the challenges facing the town as it becomes a tourist destination, while attempting to maintain its rural character. The Corridor Management Plan will assess the eligibility of roads within the Town of Section H - Inventory & Analysis B. Planning - 14 Town of Sonthold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Townwide Inventory and Analysis Southold for designation as Scenic Byways, pursuant to the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The Plan will: identify certain roads for nomination as Scenic Byways and dexnonstrate how the(se) proposed Scenic Byway(s) meet(s) the basic designation criteria describe how the proposed Scenic Byway(s) will be operated and managed and how Scenic Byway(s) corridor preservation and enhancement will be implemented within the Town of Southold. The premise of this plan is that "SouthoM's economic base - agriculture, fishing, tourism - is dependent on stewardship of its most precious assets: its natural and scenic resources of farmland, seascape, hamlets and heritage." (Executive Summary. P.l.,Scenic Southold Corridor Management Plan, Ferrandino & Associates Inc. / Hutton Associates Inc. with Cotilla Associates Inc., April 2001) The analysis conducted as part of this study found that Southold's scenic qualities were of major economic import. Accordingly, "IfSouthoM's high quality of life rests on a base of prime natural resources, a relative lack of sprawl, a rich historical and architectural heritage, great scenic beauty and large quantities of farmland and open space, then it follows that maintaining those qualities shouM be a major objective of the Town." (p. 19, Scenic Corridor Management Plan. ) In order to accomplish this, the Plan recommended focusing preservation efforts on the Town's "most visible physical framework - the two scenic roadways that provide the structure for its transportation, economic, residential, and recreational uses." (p.ii Executive Summary, SCMP) State Route 25 and County Route 48 were targeted as the two potential scenic byways. A two-pronged strategy was proposed: stewardship and implementation. Stewardship is needed to protect the fragile components of the scenic corridor from degradation or destruction. Along those lines, specific stewardship activities are proposed, such as management of traffic to ensure that tourism does not negatively impact the Town. Implementation of specific tactics and procedures are recommended to ensure that new development is designed or located in such a way as to enhance the scenic qualities of the corridor. In keeping with the pro-active nature of this Plan, a Strategic Matrix was developed which outlined specific short and long term actions that would protect the scenic corridor, and which designated various public/private partnership arrangements that could be formed in order to implement these actions. Essentially, the Plan calls for voluntary grassroots efforts by caring citizens and f'mancial sponsorship by local businesses or corporations in joint partnership with government in order to implement it. This hands-on, bottom-up approach builds on a broad community commitment to maintain the Town's character in the face of growth and change. Regulations have a role in this plan, but they are proposed to be used as assistive rather than punitive tools. In July of 2001, the Town Board adopted the Scenic Corridor Management Plan. The Plan was reviewed by the New York State Scenic Byways Advisory Committee in September 2001 and forwarded to the State Legislature for adoption. In 2002, it passed the House and the Senate and received the Governor's signature. Section H- Inventory & Analysis B. Planning- 15 Town of Soulhold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Townwide Inventory and Analysis The Planning Board takes the goals of this plan into account when reviewing new applications for development along SR 25 and CR 48. Implementation of specific recommendations in this plan has already started with business groups taking the lead. The first project was a gateway enhancement project involving new signage and plantings on CR 48 near the Love Lane business district beginning in 1999. The second project was a revitalization of the streetscape of the Love Lane business district in Mattituck with brick sidewalks and new lighting. The Cutchogue business district is hard at work on a similar set of projects along SR 25 and Grilling Street and the Southold business district has put in for funding for street furniture along SR 25. In June of 2002, the Town applied for federal scenic byway funds to underground the overhead transmission lines along the Orient Causeway. East End Transportation Council Within the last decade, increasing levels of traffic have led to significant congestion problems in certain areas, particularly within the hamlet business districts of Mattituck, Cutchogue and Southold and between Greenport and Orient Point. The town's concerns about this situation spurred Southold Town Supervisor, Jean Cochran, in 1996, to take the lead in organizing the five East End townships (and their anne villages) to form an East End Transportation Council (EETC). Operating under the aegis of the East End Supervisors & Mayors Association, the EETC has made tremendous progress towards establishing a regional dialogue on transportation issues. Southold's Town Planner and the Chairman of the Transportation Committee both sit on the Council: the Town Planner having served as the Council's Chairwoman since its inception in June of 1996. Through the years 1997 - 1999, the Council managed to establish a constructive dialogue with the State Department of Transportation and the County Department of Public Works regarding various transportation issues, and with the Long Island Rail Road about train scheduling and station management. One of the benefits of this improved dialogue was an Integrated Capacity/Mobility and Safety Study of the five East End towns during the years 1998-99. The North Fork Travel Needs Assessment was started in 1999 by the New York State Department of Transportation, and this information will assist the Town in developing an effective transportation management strategy, particularly within the business districts. In 1999-2000, with the assistance of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council, the EETC initiated the formation of a region-wide consensus-building process to resolve land use and transportation issues. Known as SEEDS, Sustainable East End Development Strategies, this federally funded process is enabling the nine villages and five towns of the East End to engage in a regional discussion and potential resolution of region-wide transportation problems. The information that will come out of this process is expected to help the Town develop an effective transportation management strategy, particularly within the business districts. The cooperation of the County and the State in managing increased traffic will be crucial to preserving the uanque quality of life in Southold. This cooperation will be critical because there are no plans to add more arterial or collector roads to the existing road network, most of which has been in existence since the late 1800s. The only new roads being built within Southold are Section H - Inventory & Analysis B. Planning - 16 Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitah'zation Program Townwide Inventory & Analysis The landscape of the coastal area is divided into three categories or components, which are divided further into sub-elements of the landscape, as listed below: Physical character: landform, vegetation, shoreline configuration, and water featums Cultural character: land use, ephemeral characteristics, historic character, symbolic value/meaning, architectural character, landscape character, state of upkeep, and discordant features Views: coastal viewshed, length of views, breadth of views, background, composition, and focal points To determine its aesthetic significance, the composition of the landscape as a whole is evaluated. Each of the landscape components noted above are rated for scenic quality and are evaluated against specific criteria that determine aesthetic significance. These criteria are: variety, unity, contrast and uniqueness of scenic components lack of discordant features in the landscape degree of public accessibility and recognition of a landscape. The components are then described according to three levels of quality and significance: distinctive, of statewide significance noteworthy, of regional and local significance common The scenic assessment methodology described here was £n:st applied in the Hudson River Valley, where six Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance have been designated. The Draft Long Island Sound Coastal Management Program indicated that this methodology could easily be applied within the Long Island Sound coastal region. Such a regional scenic assessment would help place the scenic resources of the Town of Southold in a statewide perspective, thereby providing recognition to the landscapes of the Town that are of statewide significance as well as those that are important to the community character and sense of place. (It is worth noting here that the five East End Towns may take on this project in the near future as a region. (Source: Year End Report: 1997 and Transportation Action Strategy Report of 1998. East End Transportation Council of the East End Supervisors and Mayors Association, 1998.) Scenic Byways Corridor Management Plan The Town of Southold worked in partnership with the NYSDOS and NYSDOT to prepare a Scenic Byways Corridor Management Plan for the Town of Southold. The need for a Corridor Management approach came out of a lengthy study of the challenges facing the Town as it tries to maintain its rural character in the face of increasing residential development and tourism. The Section H - Inventory & Analysis H. Scenic Resources - 4 Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Townwide Inventory & Analysis Town chose to focus its initial efforts on the main east-west transportation corridors: State Route 25 mid County Route 48, the Long Island Rail Road track, along with five local roads: Oregon Road, New Suffolk Avenue and Road, Sound View Avenue, North and Main Bayview Roads, and Narrow River Road. The Corridor Management Plan assesses the eligibility of roads within the Town of Southold for designation as Scenic Byways, pursuant to the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The Plan: identified SR 25 and CR 48 for nomination as Scenic Byways and demonstrated how the proposed Scenic Byways meet the basic designation criteria describes how the proposed Scenic Byways will be operated and managed and how Scenic Byway corridor preservation and enhancement will be implemented within the Town of Southold. An early part of the study involved an identification of the intrinsic resources related to the transportation corridor, a characterization of the nature and extent of the resources, and an analysis of their context within, and significance to, the corridor. The intrinsic resources that were identified included scenic, historic, natural, cultural, recreational and archaeological features considered representative of the transportation corridor or unique or irreplaceable. The Plan proposes a strategy for maintaining and enhancing those intrinsic resources. The Plan was adopted by the Town in July of 2001. Map 11-18 shows the location of the designated roads. Additional information about the Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan is available in Section ll.B. Planning Framework. 9. Transportation Planning:1992-2002 and Section IV. One of the fmdings of the Corridor Management Plan was the degree to which the local economy is dependent on the high scenic qualities found within the Town. It seems clear that the preservation of the aesthetic, historic, and scenic characteristics of Southold will be key to the continuance of its attraction as a quaint, agricultural and waterfront community.

The survey was conducted by the Institute for Long Island Archaeology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in July 200'8. All artifacts, field data and photographs generated by this survey are curated at the Institute for Long Island Archaeology. Standing structures were not evaluated as part of this survey. The purpose of this study is to determine if the proposed development will impact archaeological remains of prehistoric and/or historic age. This required archival research and an archaeological survey with subsurface testing. The study was performed in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the Standards for Cultural Resource Investigations and the Curation of Archaeological Collections issued by the New York Archaeological Council (1995) and the Phase 1 Archaeological Report Format Requirements issued by the New York State Historic Preservation Office (2005).

Axchaeological testing for the proposed Southwold Manor. ARCHAEOLOGICAL LITERATURE SEARCH AND SENSITIVITY ASSESSMENT Project Descript!on The project area is located at #56655 Main Road in the hamlet of Southold in eastern Suffolk County (Figures 1 and 2). The property is approximately 6.75 acres (2.7 hectares), and includes a pre-1858 house (the Lester Albertson House) with outbuildings (Figures 2 and 3; Photographs 1-4). Under the proposed work scope, eight residential units, a pool, an amenities building, a main driveway, parking areas, and associated utilities will be constructed on the property (Figure 3). No development is proposed immediately adjacent to the pre-1858 house, thus this portiou of the property was excluded fi.om subsurface testing. The house was not evaluated as part of this survey, but it has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation in 1996 (OPRHP) (94PR2574; Appendix C). Background Research Environmental Setting. The project area is located on the North Fork of eastern Long Island (Figures 1 and 2). It is situated on the glacial outwash plain just south of the roiling hills ora recessional moraine, a geological feature created over 15,000 years ago by meltwater nmofffi.om the Wisconsin ice sheet (Sizkin 1995). Topography is gently sloping, with an average elevation of 9 meters (30 feet) above mean sea level. Town Creek, located roughly 457 metem (1500 feet) to the southwest, is the nearest body of water. Soils in the project area are Haven loam (0-2% slope) (Figure 4). The Haven soil series consists of deep, well-drained, medium textured soils with low natural fertility (Warner et al. 1975:71). In areas where plowing has occurred, the surface and upper subsoil horizons have been mixed, forming a homogeneous layer of medium brown sandy loam called the plow zone. A pre-1858 house (Photograph 1) and outbuildings (Photograph 2) are standing in the southern portion of the property (Figure 3). Vegetation around these structures consists of ornamental plantings, mature deciduous trees, and lawn (Photographs 1-3). In the northern portion of the project area, former agricultural fields are covered with dense volunteer vegetation including young deciduous trees, wild rose, vines (virginia creeper, poison ivy, wild grape, cat briar) and tall grasses (Photograph 4). Disturbances appear to be limited to areas near the standing structures and along Main Road (Photograph 2; Figure 3). Table 1. Project area soils.

The files of the New York State Museum (NYSM), the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), Suffolk County Archaeological Association (SCAA), and the Institute for Long Island Archaeology ([L1A) document 11 known prehistoric sites and one historic period archaeological site within 1.6 kilometers (one mile) of the project area (Table 1). The Sout~old Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (96NR01062), consists of 80 contributing buildings, sites, and objects located on Main Road approximately 0.8 kilometer (0.5 mile) west of the project area. As mentioned above, the Lester Albertson House, standing in the southern portion of the project area, has been determined to be individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by OPRHP (94PR2574) (Appendix C).

Trends in development and land use patterns in Southold can be discerned through a study of late eighteenth through early twentieth century maps (Figures 5-10). The 1797 Moore Map of the Town of Southold (Figure 5) depicts the approximate route of Main Road (New York State Route 25) through the Town of Southold, and early settlement is indicated along its path. The historic nucleus of Southold village is shown on Main Road west of the .Southwold Manor property. No structures are shown within or adjacent to the project area, but it is possible that not every building along Main Road between village centers is illush'ated on the 1797 map. An increase in settlement is shown throughout the Town and hamlet of Southotd on the 1858 Chace Map of Suffolk County (Figure 6). A linear settlement pattern is shown along Main Road. The project area, north of Main Road, appears to be part of the landholdings of William Albertson. One structure is depicted in the southern portion of the property along Main Road on the 1858 map. A similar settlement pattern is shown on the 1873 Beers Atlas of Long lsland (Figure 7). Here, one structure is present in the southern portion ofthe propen'y along Main Road. The 1873 inset map of Southold identifies the house as belonging to William Albertson. While the 1904 USGS topographic map (Figure 8) does not indicate land ownership, it does provide information about natural feamras and general use of the land. This map depicts the project area between Main Road and the Long Island Railroad. The Alberston house is shown in the southern portion of the parcel. By the time of the 1909 Hyde Atlas of Suffolk County (not shown) the house belonged to S. Lester Albertson. In summary, the survey of historic maps indicates that the extant house at #56655 Main Road pre-dates 1858 and was occupied by the Albertson family in the nineteenth century. A building-structure inventory form for the house, identified as the Laster Alber~son House, is on file with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (94PR2574; Appendix C).

The extant Albertson house is illustrated within the southern portion of the project area~ 13 Little changed in the lifeways of the English colonists of Suffolk County until the American Revolution. Early in the conflict Long Island attracted Brkish attention because of the island's proximity to the major port of New York Harbor, and also to Connecticut and Rhode Island. In addition, Long Island was used as a major resoume for provisioning British troops, and the local agrarian economy was disrupted as the British stripped the region of food, timber, and .herd animals (Luke and Venables 1976). Industry and water-borne trade were interrupted with British occupation of the Town of Sonthold, but life gradually returned to the earlier pattern after 1781. Following the Revolution and into the midmineteenth century, the settlement of the North Fork proceeded slowly and was concentrated along main thoroughfares such as Main Road and Middle Road. The ruilroad reached the North Fork in 1844, when the Long Island Rail Road line between Brooklyn and Greenport was completed. Daring the 1860s, railroad service was interrupted by fmancial difficulties and the Civil War, but regular service was resumed in the 1870s (Bayles 1874). The ruikoad provided an efficient means of transporting bulk cargoes such as agricultural produce, and thus heralded the demise of coastal ~'ading and wooden shipbuilding in eastern Long Island. New York City-bound trains originating in the Town of Southold were loaded daily with crates and barrels of vegetables during harvest season (Ziel and Foster 1965:167). The railroad also carried a s~'eam of summer visitors to the region. The shoreline communities of eastern Suffolk County flourished with seasonal activity, and hotels and boarding houses were established to meet the needs of summer guests. Despite the influx of summer tourism, the Town of Southold remained agriculturally based and relatively isolated throughout the nineteenth century. The farmsteads that lined Middle Road produced large quantities of potatoes, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, strawberries, cranberries, dairy products, and eggs. The nature of the local agricultural economy changed in 1980 when the first ora number of vineyards was established. Since then, more vineyards, garden nurseries, orchards, and sod farms have replaced many vegetable farms (Murphy 1990). On the 1858 Chace Map of Suffolk County (Figure 6), the extant house is shown as occupied by William Albertson. Federal census data indicates that the Albertsun family settled in Southold by the late eighteenth century, and the house was occupied by the Alberston family into the early twentieth century. Based on the results of the site file search and the historic map overview, the project area has a high sensitivity for late eighteenth through early twentieth century Euro-American archaeological sites. Disturbance As mentioned above, a few sections of the project area have been disturbed by cutting, filling, grading, and other earth-moving activities, especially along Main Road and around the outbuildings north of the Albertson House (Figure 3). Disturbed areas have a very low potential for the presence of intact archaeological deposits. Testing Recommendations It is recommended that nearly the entire project area be subject to a surface survey and subsurface testing (Figure 3). In general, subsurface testing should consist of the excavation of shovel test pits (STPs) at 15 meter (49 foot) intervals to ascertain if arehaeological remains are present beneath the ground surface. Areas of high sensitivity for archaeological remains (north of the preq 858 Albertson Honse in the area of the proposed parking lot) should be tested with a 7.5 meter (25 foot) interval. No testing is required for areas immediately adjacent to (east and west of) the house, as no developmant is proposed for this location (Figure 3). 15 ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD INVESTIGATIONS Field Methodology A two phase survey design was employed to search for archaeological remains in the project area. Similar survey designs, used in other areas of Long Island, have proven successful in detecting prehistoric and historic sites (Bemstein et al. 1999; Lighffoot 1986). The initial phase of the survey involved a surface reconnaissance and inspection intended to locate large and easily visible remains. The second phase entailed subsurface testing. Surface Survey The entire project area was walked over in July 2008, with special attention given to examining exposed soil for artifacts or other surface manifestations of past activity. Vegetation patterns and topographic features which might provide insight into early land use were also noted. Ground surface visibility is poor in most of the project area due to dense vegetation in the overgrown fields, but fair in the grass covered areas to the south. No material other than recent debris (i.e., less than ten years old) was encountered during the surface survey. Subsurface Testing The second phase of the field survey consisted of the excavation of shovel test pits (STPs) designed to detect the presence of archaeological remains buried beneath the ground surface. A mapping datum was established at the northwest comer of the garage (N0/E0), and all of the test units are designated by metric grid coordinates relative to this point (Figure 3; Appendix A). The project area was tested using a 15 meter (49 foot) grid, while close-interval testing (7.5 meters [25 feet] between shovel test pits) was employed in areas of proposed development north and west of the Albertson House (Figure 3). A total of 114 shovel test pits was excavated. Shovel test pits have a diameter of approximately 40 centimeters ( 16 inches), and most of the test pits were dug into the B2 subsoil, typically to 60 centimeters (24 inches) below the modem ground surface. The soil fi`om each test unit was screened through six millimeter (1/4 inch) wire mesh to ensure the identification and recovery of artifacts. Laboratory Methods In the laboratory, all recovered materials were cleaned, cataloged, and recorded in a computerized database. All artifacts, field notes, photographs, and other records of the archaeological investigations are curated at the Institute for Long Island Archaeology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Historic period artifacts were identified and classified using a number of stnndard manuals (e.g., Noel Hume 1970). Shellfish remains found during the survey are of uncertain age, but are likely relatively recent. Coal, slag, brick, and other non-diagnostic architectural materials were counted in the field, but not collected. Most historic period artifacts were cataloged by material, ware type or color, and where possible, by function. In general, glass artifacts were identified as bottle and/or jar fragments and window glass. The terms curved and flat were used for glass shards where the original function could not be determined. Square cut nails with machine stamped (fiat) heads date fi'om the mid-1810s until they were largely replaced by modem wire nails in the mid- 1880s (Nelson 1968). Ceramic food preparation and serving pieces were cataloged by ware type: creamware (1770-1820), pearlware ( 1780-1840), whiteware ( 1820-1900+), lead-glazed redware ( 1800-1910), Jackfield (1740-1780), 16 Whieldon ware (1740-1770), refined red stoneware ( 1690-1772), salt glazed stoneware/scratch blue ( 1740-1775), yellow ware (1830-1940), and Rockingham ware (1845-1900) (Turano 1994:338-340). Utilitarian redwares found at the Albertson House site are typically associated with food preparation (kitchen activities), while the more ref'med wares (creamware, pearlware, whiteware, engine-turned red stoneware, Jackfield, Whieldon ware, white salt~glazed stoneware, and black basalt) are used for serving and dining. Results. The specific data recorded in the field for each shovel test pit, including information on soil stratigraphy and artifacts, are presented in Appendix A. The general characteristics of the soils found in the parcel are discussed in the Environmental Setting section, above, and shovel tests exposed sequences consistent with Haven loam. The surface layer found in most of the shovel test pits (referred to in Appendix A as the A0/AI horizon) consists of partially decomposed organic matter and dark brown loam or sandy loam, and extends to an average of three centimeters (1.2 inches) below the ground surface. The majority of shovel tests exposed a plow zone beneath the topsoil. The plow zone is typically medium brown sandy loam, extending to a depth of 31 centimeters (12.3 inches). Artifact-bearing soils in the area north and west of the historic house were identified as topsoil (A horizon), medium brown or light brown sand of varying thickness, to differentiate them from plowed or other disturbances. The B2 subsoil horizon consists of orange brown sand or sandy loam, sometimes with pebbles, gravel, and/or cobbles. The B3 horizon of light yellow brown sand with pebbles was reached in two shovel tests. Soils disturbed by processes other than plowing were exposed in six of the 114 shovel test pits (Appendix A). No prehistoric artifacts, and no prehistoric or historic period features were encountered during shovel testing. One historic period archaeological site, the Albertson House site, was identified during the survey. This site is associated with the National Register eligible Albertson House. The Albertson House ske is located in the southern portion of the project area, adjacent to the extant pre- 1858 house (Figure 3). As discussed in the Historic Maps and Historic Context sections above, the house is illustrated on maps dating from the mid- to late nineteenth century. Historic maps, Federal Census data, and site file information indicates that the Albertson family settled in Southold by the late eighteenth century, and lived in the extant house in the nineteenth century. It is possible that the Albertson occupation of the project area extends back into the eighteenth century. The archaeological site associated with the standing Albertson House is located in the southern half of the project area. Approximately 61 shovel test pits were dug in this area. Several shovel tests dug in the vicinity of the house and outbuildings exposed an artifact-rich topsoil layer (A horizon). Material found at the Albertson House site includes household refuse (bottle glass, lamp glass, a glass ink bottle, and ceramics for food preparation and serving [creamware, lead-glazed redware, pearlwam, whiteware, Jackfield, V~aieldon ware, black basalt, fine red stoneware, ironstone, yellow ware, Rockingham ware, non-diagnostic earthenware, milk glass, and stoneware]), architectural debris (window glass, brick, mortar, and square cut nails), personal items (an 1818 coronet large cent and clay smoking pipe fragments), and other activities (a horse shoe) (Appendix A). Shovel testing indicats that the site consists of a high density of artifacts in the southernmost portion of the property (approximately 50 by 50 meters [164 by 164 feet] adjacent to the house and outbuildings) and an area of moderate artifact density (roughly the southern half of the agricultural fields, 85 by 100 meters [279 by 328 feet]) (Figure 3). Based on the density and diversity of artifacts associated with the extant historic building, the research potential of the Albartson House site appears to be good and additional archaeological investigation is recommended. In addition, a light density of Euro-American artifacts was recovered in the plow zone throughout the · remainder of the property. This material, which includes household refuse (bottle glass, lamp glass, ceramics for food preparation and serving [creamware, redware, pearlware, whitaware, pomalain, and scratch blue stoaeware], and clay smoking pipe fragments) and architectural debris (window glass, brick, mortar, and square cut nails), dates to the eighteenth through the late nineteenth centuries, and is likely associated with the Albertson family occupation of the property (Appendix A). 17 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Archival research and archaeological investigation for the proposed Southwold Manor in the Town of Southold indicate that the project area witnessed substantial human activity in the historic period. One archaeological site., the Albertson House site, was identified during the archaeological survey. The house was occupied in the nineteenth century by the Albertson family, who settled in Southold by the late eighteenth canmry. The house was previously determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by OPRHP (94PR2574). Based on the results of the archaeological survey, the archaeological site associated with the Albertson House appears to have research potential. A Stage 2 archaeological evaluation is recommended to evaluate the eligibility of the Albertson House archaeological site for the National Register of Historic Places. According to New York State guidelines, the purpose ora Stage 2 evaluation is to obtain information on site integrity (condition and degree of disturbance), boundaries, structure, fanctinn, and cultural/historical context sufficient to evaluate its potential for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Typically, this involves the excavation ora series of closely-spaced shovel tests to precisely de£me the extent and limits of the site, and a number of larger units (usually I x 1 meter) to ascertain its contents and integrity. Based on the Stage I subsurface testing results the site consists ora high artifact density area (approximately 50 by 50 meters around the house and outbuildings) and an area of moderate artifact density (the southern half of the former agricultural field, roughly 85 by 100 meters). It is recommended that 10-20 shovel test pits and seven or eight one meter square units be dug mostly in the high-density area to examine the Albertson House site. 18 REFERENCES Bailey, Paul 1949 Longlslan&AHistoryofTwoGreatCountiesNassauandSuffolk.

Town qf SouthoM Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Townwide lnverdory and Analysis 5. Trails and bikeways The recreational opportunities in Southold are dispersed throughout the Town in a series of unconnected and somewhat isolated facilities located at schools, beaches and parks. These are state, county, town and park district facilities. The Town of Southold Transportation Commission has identified the need to link these individual sites through a network of hiking trails and bikeways. The development of this network is a key element in the Town of Southold's Transportation Core Concept, which calls for a comprehensive approach to transportation planning that utilizes all the available transportation hubs and linkages in an effort to reduce the increasing traffic pressure on the Town's road network. Currently, there are no formal trail systems within the Town. Some horse owners have been able to negotiate access over private farm roads to form an off-road network of horse trails, but these are not accessible to the public. Similarly, many local residents have informal access to private lands for walking. Recently, NYSDOT has carried out surfacing and drainage improvements to NY Route 25 from Greenport to Orient Point. As part of this improvement work, they included the use of the shoulder as a bike lane. The Transportation Commission has proposed to broaden recreational opportunities in the Town by developing a network of alternative travel routes and trails for bicyclists, kayakers and pedestrians. The proposed network is illustrated on Map 11-13. It will enable a traveler to go safely from Mattituck to Orient by being off-road or off main road wherever possible, utilizing existing paths, dirt tracks, local roads and roads with wide shoulders. These trails will pass through farmland, vineyards and woodlands and near the Long Island Sound and Peconic Estuary. These trails wilt connect with the kayak trails and link together public parks, beaches, cultural resources and hamlet centers. Wherever possible, the trail will utilize public lands, and the Town will undertake appropriate coordination with the public landholders during its planning for these trails. Where the use of public lands is not possible, trail links will be developed in close cooperation with local landowners to develop trail easements. The Town has received a Transportation Enhancement grant under the ISTEA program to fired the development of the trail system. The proposal, entitled "The Seaview Trails of the North Fork: SouthoM Town's Alternative Transportation Initiative' (Town of Southold, August 1995). The three phase plan included the New Suffolk - Oregon Road Loop, the Bayview Loop, the Greenport - Orient Route, the Vineyard View Trail, the Oregon Road Extension Trail, the Moore's Woods Trail, the Soundview Avenue Trail, the Lands End Trail at Orient Point, the Narrow River Trail and the Sea Trail for kayaking. The proposal includes details of supporting facilities and maintenance. 6. Underwater lands, the foreshore and the Public Trust The legal geography of New York's beaches, tidelands, and lands underwater is &fined by the public trust doctrine and the court cases that interpret its application. Under the public trust doctrine, the foreshore and underwater lands are held in trust by the state or local government for the benefit of the public. The public trust doctrine is the basis for the public's right to swim, fish, and walk along the shoreline. Section H - Inventory & Analysis D.

Sample Projects Educational Outreach Activities GIS Links Contact Us Summary: The Southold Trails and Habitat Delineation project was undertaken in an effort to map natural resources on Town Preserves and to facilitate the use of these protected areas by the general public. For each of 5 preserves within the Town, a GIS database was created which links habitat delineations, trail maps, photographs and aerial photography. This information helps the Town manage their preserves as well as attract visitors. The Southold Trails and Habitat Delineation project was funded by the Town of Southold. Project Description Objective 1: Trail Delineation In order to facilitate public access to the preserves, trail guides were produced such as in the following Dam Pond Maritime Reserve example. Trails were delineated by walking them with a sub-meter resolution GPS, and overlaying the data on aerial photopraphs. The locations of additional features such as information kiosks or points of interest (e.g., osprey nest) were also incorporated. This information was used to create highly accurate trail maps which are posted at the trail head, on the Town's website, and on brochures. http://web.ask.com/redir?bpg=http%3a%2f%2f.., u=http%3a%2f%2fwww.edgewoodhospitaLcom.., in=cat=wplurl=http%3a%2f%2ftm.wc.ask.com%... information Kiosk Osprey Nesf.

Conclusions: Incorporating various sorts of information (trail maps, aerial photographs, habitat types, natural resources) into a GIS database has many advantages. For example, it can be used by Town planners to create and maintain trails, or it can be used to create maps or brochures which will assist the public in enjoying the open space. The information can also be used in an effort to monitor natural resources over time, as well as determine any needs for restoration. Regardless of the particular application, GIS can be a valuable tool for in managing and protecting open space. httt~://web.ask.com/redir?bv~=httt~%3a%2f%2f.., u=httt>%3a%2f%2fwww.edeewoodhosr)ital.com.., in=cat=wv4url=htt~%3a%2f%2ftm.wc.ask.com%... Fifth Edition BY PHiL ANGELILLO Southold- Bayview Guilford, Connecticut In Partnership with Trails.com,. Southold--Bayview Number of miles: Approximate pedaling time: Terrain: Surface: Traffic: Things to sec: 14 3 hours Moderately hilly Good; sandy in places Heavy in Southold, light elsewhere Southold Burying Ground, Custer Institute, Horton Point Town Park and Museum, Hashamomuck Beach, Thomas Moore House Southold shares with Southampton the distinction of being the oldest English settlement on Long Island. Settlers first arrived in 1640, hav- ing encamped first in New Haven, across Long Island Sound in Connecticut. Their names--Youngs, Horton, Ackerly, Wells, Corey-- are echoed in the names of the streets and avenues of the present vil- lage of Southold and the peninsula of Bayview. They were hard workers and staunch Puritans, for many years allowing only members of the church to share in the civil authority of the community. The dis- cipline and fortitude of the founders and their descendants caused Southold to become early on one of the most successful farming com- munities on Long Island. The town of Southold is still a prosperous farm area, and the village of Southold at its center exhibits a small- town coziness only partly offset by the heavy traffic of summer visitors. The ride proceeds from the village of Southold south through Bayview, or Great Hog Neck, to Southold Bay and Little Peconic Bay, then north back through Southold to Horton Point on Long Island Sound, then back to Southold. It provides a good mixture of farming and nautical environments, blended with a comfortable historical ambience.

Proceeding west on Main Street (Route 25), we pass on the left the First Presbyterian Church of Southold and the Southold Burying Ground. The church building was erected in 1803, but predecessors date from 1640 when it was organized as the First Church Congregation of Southold. A marker notes that the church burying ground is the oldest English burying ground in New York State. As we continue onto Bayview Road we come to the New York State Archaeological Society Museum, which displays Long Island Indian artifacts, pottery, and sculpture. Directly opposite it is the Custer Institute with its domed observatory. The institute is the home of a private astronomy study group that maintains the observatory and its equipment. It's open to the public at various times during the summer. Farther south on Main-Bayview Road, just north of Cedar Lane, is the Abijah Corey House, built in the early 1700s. It shows its age and contrasts sharply with the modern homes that surround it. As we continue on Main-Bayview Road we turn left at the General Wayne Inn, an excellent restaurant, and come to Cedar Beach at the end of Cedar Beach Road. This is a quarter-mile pebbly beach on Little Peconic Bay providing no amenities but offering unsupervised swim- ming and a good view of the bay. Just back of the beach is a concrete structure housing the Suffolk County Community College Marine Science Center. From here we continue on North Bayview Road and leave Bayview on the Goose Creek Bridge. There is a great view of Southold Bay to the east and Goose Creek, a pleasant tranquil back- water, to the west. We proceed back through Southold and then north on Horton Lane, a sparsely developed area of farms and fiat woodlands, onto Sound View Avenue and Lighthouse Road to Horton Point Town Park and Museum. The lighthouse at the park dates from 1857. At the end of Lighthouse Road is a stair leading to the beach on Long Island Sound. Stairs of this type, common all along the the north shore, often require rebuilding as erosion eats the soft bluffs away. From the top of the stair is an unobstructed view of Connecticut on the horizon. Going east on Sound View Avenue, on rather hilly terrain, we pass through a heavily treed stretch (which unfortunately blocks the Sound view) and come to Hashamomuck Beach on Long Island Sound. This is a long, wide beach providing swimming, refreshments, and rest rooms. It is flanked by hotels and motels and is usually fre- quented by a good-sized crowd. We return to Southold on Boisseau Avenue and come to the Thomas Moore House on the south side of Route 25. This structure was built prior to 1658 and has recently been restored. Farther on, at Maple Lane, is the Southold Historical Society Museum, a cluster of four buildings displaying antique home decorations, toys, tools, carriages, and other items. About the Rides To the greatest extent possible, the ride material is presented to ease map and road direction reading when under way. Accordingly, the maps are located directly opposite the ride directions, and in most cases the directions are presented on a single page. Further, the direc- tions are segmented to allow point-to-point riding. In almost all cases, these points on the road are clearly visible road signs, although in a few places unique landmarks or other features are used. It is sug- gested that the description of the ride be read in its entirety before riding to know beforehand the points of interest along the way (also noted on the maps), doing away with the need to refer to this mate- rial while pedaling. The mileages in the ride directions are approximate distances. In most of the rides alternate, shorter routes are also provided. The time indicated is approximate pedaling time while cycling at a sightseeing pace. It does not include extended rests at points of interest. Hilly ter- rain implies a ride in which the casual weekend cyclist will encounter some hills that will probably have to be walked; moderately hilly has less strenuous hills; rides designated as flat should be no problem at all. All the rides have been laid out to minimize riding in traffic, but even so, most rides have one or more segments in which some traffic will be encountered. The directions give a realistic assessment of what can be expected. The path and boardwalk rides capitalize on Long Island's un- matched park facilities. In most of them, bicycling can be augmented with other activities such as swimming or picnicking that make the ride ideal for a full-day family outing. Because they are free of auto- mobile traffic, the paths are a must for those just learning to ride or sharpening skills fashioned in the past and for groups with children. A Note on Safety Traffic is heaviest in Nassau and western Suffolk but must be antici- pated in all areas. The requirements for safe riding are simple enough a bicycle in good working condition, defensive and aIert riding, and a measure of common sense. The roads are there for autos and bicycles alike, and the cyclist is responsible no less than the mo- torist for full knowledge of, and conformance with, the rules of the road.

EO RANK: A letter code for the quality of the occurrence of the rare species or significant natural community, based on population size or area, condition, and landscape context. A-E = Extant: A=Excellent, B=Good, C=Fair, D=Poor, E=Extant but with insufficient data to assign a rank of A-D. F = Failed to find. Did nol locate species during a limited search, but habital is still there and fudher field work is justified. H = Historical. Historical occurrence without any recent field information. X = Extirpated. Field/other data indicates element/habitat is destroyed and the element no longer exists at this location U = E)dantJHistofical status uncertain. Blank = Not assigned. LAST REPORT: The date that the rare species or significant natural community was last observed at this location, as documented in the Natural Heritage databases. The format is mosl often YYYY-MM-DD. NY LEGAL~ STATUS - Animals: Categories of Endangered and Threatened species are defined in New York State Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0535. Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species are listed in regulation 6NYCRR 182.5. E - Endangered Species: any species which meet one of the following criteria: · Any native species in imminent danger ot extirpation or extinction in New York. · Any species listed as endangered by the United States Department of the Interior, as enumerated in the Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11. T - Threatened Species: any species which meet one of the following criteria: · Any native species likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future in NY. · Any species listed as threatened by the U.S. Depadment of the interior, as enumerated in the Code of the Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11. SC - Special Concern Species: those species which are not yet recognized as endangered or threatened, but for which documented concern exists for their continued welfare in New York. Unlike the first two categories, species of special concern receive no additional legal protection under Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0535 (Endangered and Threatened Species). P - Protected Wildlife (defined in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0103): wild game, protected wild birds, and endangered species of wildlife. U - Unprotected (defined in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0103): the species may be taken at any time without limit; however a license to take may be required. G - Game (defined in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0103): any of a variety of big game or small game species as stated in the Environmental Conservation Law; many normally have an open season for at least pad of the year, and are protected at other times. NY LEGAL STATUS - Plants: The following calegories are defined in regulation 6NYCRR pad 193.3 and apply to NYS Environmental Conservation Law seclion 9- 1503 E - Endangered Species: listed species are those wilh: · 5 or fewer extant sites, or · fewer than 1,000 individuals, or · restricted to fewer than 4 U S.G.S. 7 ~'~ minute topographical maps, or · species listed as endangered by U.S. Dept ot interior, as enumeraled in Code ol Federal Regulalions 50 CFR 1711 T - Threatened: listed species a~e those wi[h: · 0 lo fewer than 20 extant sites, or · 1,000 lo fewer than 3,000 individuals, or · restricted to not less than 4 or more Ihan 7 US G S. 7 and 7~ minule topographical maps, or · listed as threalened by U.S. Deparlmenl of Inlerior, as enumerated in Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11 R - Rare: listed species have: · 20 to 35 extant sites, or · 3,000 to 5,000 individuals statewide, t V- E×plortabty vulnerable: listed species are likely to become threatened in the near uture throughou all or a significant podion of their range within the state if causal factors continue unchecked. U - Unprotected; no state status. FEDERAL STATUS (PLANTS and ANIMALS): The categories of federal status are defined by the United States Department of the Interior as part of the 1974 Endangered Species Act (see Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17). The species listed under this law are enumerated in the Federal Register vol. 50, no. 188, pp. 39526 - 39527. The codes below without parentheses are those used in the Federal Register. The codes below in parentheses are created by Heritage to deal with species which have different listings in different pads of their range, aod/or different listings for different subspecies or varieties. (blank) = No Federal Endangered Species Act status. LE = Formally listed as endangered. LT = Formally listed as threatened. C = Candidate for listing. LE,LT = Formally listed as endangered in part of its range, and as threatened in the other par[; or, one or more subspecies or varieties is listed as endangered, and the others are listed as threatened~ LT,PDL = Populations of the species in New York are formally listed as threatened, and proposed for delisting. GLOBAL AND STATE RANKS (animals, plants, ecological communities and others): Each element has a global and state rank as determined by the NY Natural Heritage Program. These ranks carry no legal weight. The global rank reflects the rarity of the element throughout the world and the state rank reflects the rarity within New York State. Infraspecific taxa are also assigned a taxon rank to reflect the mfraspec'fic taxon's rank throughout the world. ? = Indicates a question exists about the rank. Range ranks, e g. SIS2, indicate not enough information is available to distinguish between two ranks. GLOBAL RANK: G1 - Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences), or very few remaining acres, or miles of stream) or especially vulnerable to extinction because of some factor of its blology. G2 - Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 - 20 occurrences, or few remaining acres, or miles of stream) or very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range because of other factors. G3 - Vulnerable: Either rare and local throughout its range {21 to 100 occurrences), or found locally (even abundautiy at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g. a physiographic region), or vulnerable to extinction throughout its range because of other factors. G4 - Apparently secure globally, though it may be quite rare in pads-of its range, especially at the periphery. G5 - Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in pads of its range, especially at the periphery. GH - Historically known, with the expectation that it might be rediscovered. GX - Species believed to be extinct. NYS RANK: S1 - Critically imperiled: Typically 5 or fewer occurrences, very few remaining individuals, acres, or miles of stream, or some factor of its biology making it especially vulnerable in New York State. S2 - Imperiled: Typically 6 to 20 occurrences, few remaining individuals, acres, or miles of stream, or factors demonstrably making it very vulnerable in New York State. S3 - Vulnerable: Typically 21 to 100 occurrences, limited acreage, or miles of stream in New York State. S4 - Apparently secure in New York State. S5 - Demonstrably secure in New York State. SH - Historically known from New York State, but not seen in the past 15 years. SX - Apparently extirpated from New York State. SxB and SxN, where Sx is one of the codes above, are used for migratory animals, and refer lo the rarity within New York State of the breeding (B)populations and the non-breeding populations (N), respectively, of the species. TAXON {T} RANK: The T-ranks (T1 - T5) are defined the same way as the Global ranks (Gl - GS), but the T-rank refers only to the rarity of the subspeciflc taxon. T1 through 1'5 - See Global Rank definitions above. Q - Indicales a question exists whether or not the taxon is a good laxonomic entity. 2005 DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS REGIONAL OFFICES J~,.,~ 2o04 REGION COUNTIES REGIONAL PEPoMIT ADMINISTRATORS I Nassau & Suffolk John Pavacic NYS-DEC BLDG 40 SUNY at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NrY I } 790-2356 Telephone: (63 I) 444-0365 2 John Cry'an New York City (Boroughs of Manhanan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, & Staten Island NryS-DEC One Hunlers Point Plaza 47-40 21 st Si'reel Long Island Ci~, NY 11101-5407 Telephone: (718) 482~1997 Dulchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster & Westchester Margaret Duke NTS-DEC 21 South Pun Comers Road New Paltz, N'Y 12561-1696 Telephone: (845) 256-3054 Albany, Columbia, Greene, Monlgomery, Rensselaer & Scheneclady William C}a.rke NYS-DEC 1150 North WescoU Road Schenectady, NT 12306-2014 Telephone: (518) 357-2069 4 (sub-office' Delaware, Otsego & Schoharie Clinton, Essex.

A review of the annexed aerial photograph will show that the subject property contains a residential building with associated lawn, driveway, shade trees, various plantings, a detached garage and shed structures. Immediately north of the residence is an open, mowed area, and to the west oft_his area is a young woodland. Further m the north, and comprising about two-thirds of the subject property, is a post-agricultural old field/shrubland. It should be noted that the northern portion of the property was previously disturbed by agricultural activities. We are writing to ask if there are any Heritage records of rare plants, animals and/or natural communities or significant wildlife habitats on or proximate to the subject site. Thank you for your prompt attention to this request. Sincerely, FREUDENTHAL & ELKOWITZ CONSULTING GROUP, INC. Tammy H~hl kD ~ Environmental Planner THAm · Complete items 1, 2, and 3.
