Main Rd. & Youngs Ave.) Southold, NY Telephone: 631 765-1938 Fax: 631 765-3136 To: Town of Southold Planning Board Bruno Semon, Senior Site Plan Reviewer From: Mark Terry, Senior Environmental Planner LWRP Coordinator Date: June 8, 2005 Re; Proposed Site Plan for Moore Law Office Located on the e/s/o State Road 25,783' n/o the intersection with Jockey Creek Drive in Southold. SCTM#1000-70-2~8 Zone: RO, Residential Office District The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 95, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department on June 1, 2005 ~ w~ the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is o~stent ~vith the following Policy Standards and therefore consistent with the LWRP. Pursuant to Chapter 95, the Planning Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its ~vritten determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action. Policy l. Foster a pattern of deveiopment in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. The site plan is for an alteration and addition of 2,100 sq. ft. to the existing office with a 700 sq. ft. apartment on a 0.92-acre parcel in the RO Zone, located on the e/s/o NYS Road 25, approximately 783' n/o the intersection with Jockey Creek Drive, known as 51020 NYS Road 25, in Southold. The property is located in the Town of Southold's Historic District and proposed Hamlet of Southold. Additionally, the property fronts New York State Road 25, a designated scenic byway. The proposal is in character with the community. Due to the size of the parcel there is no opportunity to preserve significant open space. No significant adverse impacts are expected to the above goals as a result of the development of the property. Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. The proposed action involves the construction of an addition married to the west wall of the existing structure, therefore the structure will retain most of the existing architecture. No changes are proposed for the existing east elevation, which fronts New York State Road 25, a designated scenic byway. The structure is not listed in the on the SPLIA List (Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities). The property is located within the Town of Southold Historic District. No significant impacts will occur to the structure, character of the Scenic Byway or the Southold Historic District as a result of this action. No known archeological sites exist on-site. The site plan indicates that the property is located within the Town of Southold Historic District and fronts a designated Scenic Byway. Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. The applicant proposes to preserve existing architecture and vegetation to retain the scenic quality of the property. Additionally, due to orientation and placement of the proposed addition and parking (behind a existing frame garage), the site design will retain the visual quality within the hamlet area and from State Road 25 and therefore the impacts will be minimized to both. Policy 4. Minimize loss of human life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. No loss of human life, structures or impacts to natural resources from flooding and erosion will occur as a result of this action. Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. The property is served by Public Water. Waste is disposed of via an existing, functioning on site sanitary waste system. Protection of the water quality will be further achieved through the updating of the existing on-site waste system. Potential surface- water runoff generated from the structure and parking area is proposed to be disposed of via sub-surface leaching pools (dry- wells) located throughout the property. It is recommended that the Planning Board encourage the following Peconic Estuary Program best management practices for landscaping, lawn establishment and maintenance of the lawn post construction to further protect water quality: 1. Preserve and existing native landscapes and natural ground covers. 2. Choose native plants for landscaping. 3. Choose disease-resistant and drought-tolerant plants. 4. Minimize lawn areas, replacing turf with native trees and understory. 5. Use integrated pest management OPM) techniques, including beneficial insects. 6. Use appropriate grass varieties (e.g., sun tolerant vs. shade tolerant). 7. Take steps to improve soil structure (annual or periodic soil aeration, additions of organic matter, etc.). 8. Leave grass clippings on the lawn as mulch. 9. Cut lawn no shorter than 3" to encourage deep roots. 10. Do not overwater lawns (excess irrigation causes soil nutrients to be lost). Additionally, where fertilization is proposed: 1. Apply a maximum of 1 lb. of nitrogen per 1000 square feet in any one application, with a cumulative application of no more than 2 lbs. per 1,000 square feet per year. 2. Choose fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture. 3. Choose organic fertilizers, whereby all nitrogen in the mixture is non-synthetic. 4. Keep equipment properly calibrated to avoid over-application. 5. Don't apply fertilizers and pesticides within 100 feet o£ surface waters and wetlands. 6. Apply product only during growing season (typically mid-March through mid-October). 7. Don't apply fertilizers when it is raining, or when rain is likely to occur within 24 hours. Policy 6. Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystems including Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats and wetlands. This policy does not apply to this action. Policy 7. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southold. No significant impact to air quality will occur as a result of the proposed action. Policy & Minimize environmental degradation in Town of SouthoM from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. Solid wastes will be properly disposed of at the Town of Southold Landfill and therefore no significant adverse impacts due to solid waste will occur as a result of this action. No hazardous substances have been identified on or incorporated within the proposed action. Policy 9. Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Southold. The property is private. There is no opporttmity to meet this policy. Policy 10. Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water- dependent uses in suitable locations. The property is inland with no adjacent water bodies. There is no opportunity to meet this policy. Policy 11. Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound, the Peconic Estuary and Town waters. The property is inland with no adjacent water bodies. There is no opportunity to meet this policy. Policy 12. Protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold. The property is improved. No agricultural lands occur on site. There is no opportunity to meet this policy. Policy 13. Promote appropriate use and development of energy and mineral resources. This policy does not apply to this action.
