Land Tracking Summary for the 4th Quarter of 2008 (October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008)
Prepared January 15, 2009
The most meaningful numbers from the attached Tracking report to focus on are as follows: Residential Subdivision Rate,
Residential Development Rate, Preservation Rate and Density Reduction. All of the other numbers and definitions are used
to calculate these four numbers. This page of the report will summarize these four numbers for both the current quarter and
cumulatively from April 1, 2004 on for the target areas (buildable subdividable R-40, R-80 and AC). In addition a summary
of the Target Area follows indicating the acreages within the target area that have been developed and preserved and the
acreages that are still available for development.
4th Quarter of 2008 Summary
Residential Subdivision Rate: 0, that is no new building lots were created this quarter
Residential Development Rate: 0, that is no new dwellings were issued permits this quarter
Preservation Rate: 99%

Cumulative Summary from April 1, 2004 on
Residential Subdivision Rate: 1 building lot per 14 acres
Residential Development Rate: 1 dwelling unit per 60 acres
Preservation Rate: 95%
Density Reduction: 96%

Land Tracking Summary for the 4th Quarter of 2008 (October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008)
Prepared January 15, 2009
Introduction
Information in this report is based on final approvals for subdivisions, building permits, land closings and variances. Projects
that involve both preservation and Planning approvals for non-subdividable lots will not be tracked until both components of
the projects are complete. A cumulative summary covering all activity from April 1, 2004 onward is included in this report.
Acres of Subdividable Buildable Land that is considered the Town’s target as of April 1, 2004:
R-40...........455
R-80.........2386
AC...........4996
These acreages are estimates based on the Town’s GIS database as of April 1, 2004 and represent the subdividable buildable
land in the R-40, R-80 and AC zoning districts. These numbers will change over time as additional information about
individual parcels becomes available. The numbers will also change due to future rezonings approved by the Town Board
and conversion of target land to/from Community Facilities (e.g. schools). Unbuildable land includes wetlands, rights of
way, Coastal Erosion Hazard areas, land developed residentially prior to April 1, 2004, preserved land, beaches, etc. and is
not included in the acreages above based on the best information currently available. Future tracking reports will note
changes to the numbers presented above. The numbers presented above do not match those included in the 2003 DGEIS due
to corrections made to the DGEIS work. For parcels that are split between both AC & R-80 zoning the parcels were assumed
to be completely within the larger of the two areas for calculating the numbers above. To be subdividable a parcel must
contain at least twice the minimum zoning acreage of buildable land. All numbers presented below are based on Town-wide
activity excluding Fishers Island.
Definitions
Density Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that contributes to density reduction, for example
development rights purchases.
Non-density Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that does not contribute to density reduction, for example
clustered open space created through the subdivision process.
Density reduction non-preservation: Land that contributed to density reduction but that is not considered preserved, for
example certain covenants and restrictions.
Acreage of Preservation: The acreage of preservation is calculated as the sum of DENSITY REDUCTION
PRESERVATION and NON-DENSITY REDUCTION PRESERVATION.
Residential Subdivision Rate: The residential subdivision rate is calculated as NUMBER OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE
BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED divided by the sum of ACREAGE OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE
BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED and ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION
NON-PRESERVATION. ACREAGE OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS will also
include ROW and recharge areas created through the subdivision process. The NUMBER OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE
BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED includes those created by both the Planning Board and the ZBA.
Only ZBA approvals that create new parcels compared to the Town Assessors’ records as of April 1, 2004 will be included in
the numbers above. Further subdividable parcels will not be tracked until they become non-subdividable or preserved.
Residential Development Rate: The residential development rate is calculated as NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS divided by the sum of ACREAGE OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS
ISSUED PERMITS and ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION. Note
that the NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS may not equal the number of new
residential building permits actually issued in cases where permits for multiple family dwellings are issued. Building permits
issued on subdividable parcels will be included in this number with the developed acreage being equal to the minimum
zoning acreage. Should this development end up as part of a subdivision where it is clustered to a smaller parcel or within a
Page 2 of 5
defined building envelope then the parcel or envelope size will be considered the developed acreage and the numbers above
will be adjusted. Renewal, accessory, remodeling, etc. building permits are not included above.
Preservation Rate: The preservation rate is calculated as ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION divided by the sum of
ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and ACREAGE OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS and
DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION.
Density Reduction: The density reduction is calculated as the difference of NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING and NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED
PERMITS divided by NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING. The NUMBER
OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING is calculated as the sum of DENSITY
REDUCTION PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION multiplied by the subdivision
factor from the 2003 DGEIS plus the NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS. The
DGEIS factors are 0.8 for R-40 and 0.4 for AC & R-80.
Tracking Statistics for the period October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008
For the following numbers the Target acreage is the buildable subdividable land in the R-40, R-80 & AC zones. Non-target
acreage is anything in other zoning districts, non-subdividable land in the R-40, R-80 & AC zones and unbuildable land.
