See LWRP Section III - Policies; Page 2 for evaluation criteria. [] Yes [] No [] Not Applicable This proposal maintains the development scheme of the Town of Southold, which is "defined by a pattern of aden aaricultural land intersDersed with development clustered around a number of historic hamlet centers...", by concentratina commercial development in a develooed commercial area. The proposed use is comoatible with zonina and surroundina existina development. The site is not located on the water, and therefore the IDroiect cannot make beneficial use afa coastal location. Aaain, because of the site location, the proposal "minimizes the adverse effects af development" by concentratinq development near existinq development. This facet is also campatible with the Town Master Plan, in that the instant proposal "reflects the interest in preservinq and enhancinq the natural and built environment and providinq opportunities for a level of qrowth and expansion of the economic base that is compatible with the exitinq scale of development, availability of water, existinq sensitive environment of the Town and its historic heritaqe."
