This site plan is for new construction of a building that includes 32,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space and 2,200
sq. ft. office space for recycling center use on 118,164.2 sq. ft. parcel in the LIO Zone located at the

The proposed amended action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfi'ont Consistency Review of the
Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfi'ont Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy
Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted
to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my determination that the proposed
amended action is generally CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore is
CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided the following best management practices and conditions
are required to further the policies of the LWRP.
POLICY STANDARDS
Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold.
3.1 Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold.
Minimize introduction of structural design components (including utility lines, lighting,
signage and fencing) which wouM be discordant with existing natural scenic
components and character.
A total of fourteen 400 watt metal halide lighting bulbs are proposed. It is
recommended that the Board minimize/reduce the number of lights that are not integral
for safety purposes. In addition, it is recommended that the Board require time on and
off protocols and request high pressure sodium (HPS) bulbs as an alternative to the
metal halide lighting bulbs to preserve the night sky. High pressure sodium bulbs are
more energy efficient and less polluting (mercury) than metal halide bulbs.
C. Screen components of development which detract from visual quality.
The applicant proposes to screen adjacent properties from the proposed physical
improvements and operations using a landscaped vegetative buffer of varying widths.
The landscape buffer is proposed along the north, south, east and west property
boundaries.
The proposed survival rate for planted veeetation is one ,/ear. It is recommended that a
minimum three year survival rate be required for all planted vegetation to further the
above sub-polic,/.
Policy 5. Protect attd improve water quality attd supply itt the Town of Southold.
5.5 Protect and conserve the quality attd quantity of potable water
It is recommended that the applicant further the above policy through the submission of a spill
response plan/protocol to the Town to further Policy 5.
Policy & Miuimize environmeutal degradation in Towu of Southold from solid waste and hazardous
substances attd wastes.
& l Manage solid waste to protect public health and control pollution.
Manage solid waste by:
1. reducing the amount of solid waste generated,
2. reusing or recycling material,
3. using approved methods endorsed by the NYSDEC to dispose of solid waste that
is not otherwise being reused or recycled.
C. Prevent the discharge of solid wastes into the environment by using proper handling,
management, and transportation practices.
D. Operate solid waste management facilities to prevent or reduce water, air, and noise
pollution and other conditions harmful to the public health.
The following is recommended to further the above policy and sub-policies:
1. No industrial waste, treated or untreated regulated medical waste or treated and destroyed
medical waste shall be accepted unless specifically approved by the Town Board.
2. The acceptance, storage, processing or transferring of hazardous waste is prohibited
without Town Board approval.
3. The facility shall operate only between the hours of sunrise and sunset.
4. The owner/operator of the facility is responsible for the control of litter, insects, odors
and vectors. Blowing litter must be confined to solid waste holding and operating areas
by fencing or other suitable means. Solid waste must be confined to an area that can be
effectively maintained, operated and controlled. Solid waste must not be accepted at a
solid waste management facility unless the waste is adequately covered or confined in the
vehicle transporting the waste to prevent dust, and blowing litter.
5. The facility must be maintained so as to prevent or control on-site populations of vectors
using techniques appropriate for protection of human health and the environment and
prevent the facility from being a vector breeding area.
6. Odors must be effectively controlled so that they do not constitute nuisances or hazards to
health, safety or property.
7. Noise levels resulting from equipment or operations at the facility must be controlled to
prevent transmission of sound levels beyond the property line at locations zoned or
otherwise authorized for residential purposes~.
