Memorandum
To: Ruth Oliva, Chairwoman, Zoning Board of Appeals
From: Jerilyn B. Woodhouse, Chairwoman
Re: Petition of Koehler at Osprey Dominion Win6ry
Date: January21, 2005
The proposal before the Zoning Board of Appeals is to add an art gallery use in a separate
structure on what presently is a separate lot of 1.3 acres adjacent to the site of the above-
noted winery.
The art gallery use is not a permitted principal use in the Agricultural Conservation (A-C)
zoning district. Therefore the petitioner proposes to merge the subject property with the
property on which the winery and vineyard are located, thereby making the proposed art
gallery an accessory use to the principal use of a winery, albeit in the front yard.
Accessory uses are not permitted to be located within the front yard.
In the A-C zoning district, the Town of Southold permits agricultural farm operations to
construct a retail sales outlet on the property. Typically these outlets are farm stands.
Most are a thousand square feet or less in area.
For more than a decade, the Town has allowed vineyard owners the ability to construct
larger retail outlets, known as wineries, provided they were located on property of which
ten or more acres (other than the land devoted to the winery building) were under active
cultivation. Section 100-31 A. (4).
In addition, a winery is allowed an accessory use, defined as follows: "an accessory gift
shop on the premises which may sell items accessory to wine, such as corkscrews, wine
glasses, decanters, items for the storage and display of wine, books on winemaking and
the region and nonspecific items beating the insignia of the winery. Wineries may not
have a commemial kitchen as an accessory use but may have a nonconunercial kitchen
facility for private use by the employees." Section 100-31 C. (10).
The petitioner is proposing an accessory use that is not permitted within the A-C zoning
district. The purpose of the A-C zoning district is clearly set forth: "to reasonably
control and, to the extent possible, prevent the unnecessary loss of those currently open
lands with the town containing large and contiguous areas of prime agricultural soils
which are the basis for a significant portion of the town's economy ..." Section 100-30.
In keeping with this statement of purpose, the Town permits only four types of land uses
within this district: agricultural operations, wineries, residences and governmental uses
(e.g. Town, school, park and fire districts). The permitted accessory uses relate to the
permitted principal uses.
The petitioner desires to construct a one-story (8,000 square foot) building with a full
basement, for a total of 16,000 square feet of gross floor area. Thirty-eight parking
spaces are proposed to service this structure. To quote the material submitted with the
petition: the concept is "To develop a unique, multi-purpose creative arts center on
O~prey's Dominion as an extension of their current business (emphasis added) and as an
outlet for education opportunities. The buiMing will house interrelated creative businesses
(emphasis added) as well as providing a platform for cultural events, including but not
limited to, a Fine Art Gallery, high end custom picture Framing Shop, and a North Fork
Arts Center which will offer art workshops, spirituality sessions, creative writing
seminars, live music, plus other aesthetic attractions." The concept paper goes on to say
"By locating this structure and arts center on the grounds of the Osprey vineyards, a
marketing synergy will result, increasing the effectiveness of each other's promotional
efforts and advertising dollars." Finally, the petitioner anticipates the leasing of part of
this site to an education institution.
The Planning Board notes that the proposed set of uses is permitted by right in other
zoning districts within the Town. Additionally, the creation of an educational institution
within the A-C district requires a Special Exception and a minimum of five acres of land.
The Board also notes that nothing in this proposal is "accessory" in nature, scope or size.
The existing winery operation is located on approximately 4.46 acres of land. The
remaining 46.36 acres have been preserved through the sale of development rights. The
entire winery operation consists of three fi'ce-standing buildings, two of them on the 4.46
acre parcel, the third located within the preserved land. The first two buildings consist of
a retail sales office and conservatory (3,145 square feet) along with 41 parking spaces
and a production and storage building (6,343 square feet). The third structure, on
preserved land, contains 8,000 square foot of storage. Of the total existing square footage
at this vineyard and winery, approximately 18% is devoted to the retail and tasting room.
The proposed "accessory" structure (8,000 square feet and 38 parking spaces) is larger
than the principal use, both in size (more than double, not counting the basement footage)
and proposed intensity of use.
Finally, the Board notes that while many wineries host live music events, art showings,
and even catered events within their existing retail/tasting rooms, these activities have
been tolerated as ancillary activities to facilitate the primary activity of growing grapes
and processing wines. If this petitioner's request is granted, this proposal would create a
precedent that would have the end result of requiring the Town to allow every single
agricultural operation, not just its nearly twenty wineries, to construct equivalent
structures and uses on land intended to be reserved for agricultural uses. A decision of
this magnitude is properly a matter for the Town Board to consider, particularly given its
stated intention of preserving agricultural land from conversion to non-igricultural uses.

COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER / ART GALLERY/' CUSTOM FRAME SHOP
CONCEPT -
To develop a unique, multi-purpose creative arts center on Osprey's Dominion
property as an extension of their current business and as an outlet for educational opportunities.
The building will house interrelated creative businesses as well as providing a platform for
cultural events, including but not limited to, a Fine Art Gallery, high end custom picture Framing
Shop, and a North Fork Arts Center which will offer art workshops, spirituality sessions, creative
writing .seminars, live music, plus other aesthetic attractions.
By locating this structure and arts center on the grounds of the Osprey vineyards, a marketing
synergy-will result, increasing thc effectiveness of each other's promotional efforts and
advertising dollars. In addition, all facilities will reap the benefits of their close proximity in an
attractive and pastoral environment.
· Cross marketing to wine and art lovers, whom have proven to overlap in many
demographic instances
· Bringing more traffic and buyers to the grounds of the vineyard and vice-versa
· Intertwining weekend art shows, with wine tastings and musical performances
· Developing and raising and brand name recognition for all entities involved.
Another important asPect integral to thc success of this project will be some type of formal
affiliation with a prestigious and growing Long Island college. We are con~sidering a Long Island
College, currently offering a strong Music and Arts Program as a partner in this Arts Center.
This affiliation will allow for student art shows & workshops, acadcmi~ seminars, as well as
provide a venue for indoor and outdoor musical concerts and ensembles. The exposure and
publicity opportunities this affiliation will create for the Vineyard, the North Fork Art Center and
the participating College will be advantageous to all participants.
LOCATION -
This creative arts center will be located on the grounds of Osprey's Dominion
vineyards, approximatcly 100 yards from the tasting mom, with road ,frontage on Route 25A
(Main Street ) pecoulc, New York. This new facility will be connected to the existing tasting
room by a stamped, colored concrete path and Belgium block edging. Additionally, stmtogic
placement of outdoor sculptures by Long Island artists will provide further enhancement for
the area.
Arrangements and opportunities will bo made available to local North Fork landscape design
firms to have these "connecting" grounds become a showcase for their talents and creativity.
Several landscapers will be selected, each to be responsible for an outdoor section of thc project,
which in turn will be identified by signagc for consumer selection ....
It should be noted that this project will be designed in all its aspects to appeal to a cultured,
discriminating, and upscale c~entele.
FACILITIES / BUILDING -
The entire facility, the existing two buildings ( Winery and Tasting Room) ·
as well as the new building, will strive to maintain the character and 'feel' ofthe North Fork --
agrarian and bucolic. Certainly, the charm of it being part ora working vineyard is to be
exploited overall.
Basically, the building itself will consist of two separate levels, each with non-competing but
interrelated product and/or service offerings. These are as follows:
la) Main Level - 3,200 square foot Community Arts Center, for workshops, seminars, classes
and music. Also, a dividable sub-section will be available for both ad hoc activities, or for long-
term lease. A Long Island College has been singled out as a possible long term lessee for this
airy and creative environment to be used in conjunction with its Music & Art Programs.
(see page 3.)
Discussions are currently underway with this prestigious College and they will be named as soon
as an mutually beneficial agreement is solidified.
lb) Main Level - 1200 square foot Art Gallery showing works of mostly established artists. A
well known Gallery Owner/Designer, Josh Miller has agreed to develop the design and layout
of the gallery, which features wood plank floors, evocative colors and the last word in gallery
lighting and hanging systems.
2) Lower Level - 1,500 square foot Custom Framing Shop; located towards the lower rear of the
building. In addition to state of the art equipment and computerized Mat cutters, it will also
feature a viewing window, allowing gallery visitors on the main level to see the craftsmanship
which goes into custom picture framing.
The building can best be described as ergonomically artistic, and in addition to large expanses of
glass for natural light, it should feature the following physical characteristics:
· A from and side pomh, with Wooden Rocking chairs
Decks on the upper level, facing both north and west
· A Circular wooden fireplace in the upper mezzanine area, as well as two wood burning
stoves within the gallery
· A wooden atrium, centrally located midway between the tasting room and Gallery.
· Gravel Parking areas, rather than concrete or asphalt
· "Picnic Zone" and Sculpture Garden between the Gallery and Tasting room
It is important to point Out that for optimum roadside impact all buildings on the grounds of the
facility should be recovered with the same facade and siding, preferably wooden natural cedar
shakes.
It is imperative that as prospective visitors/customers realize that the existing tasting room,
existing winery building, and new Community ~4rts Center are one in the same - and by
parking once - a full winet art~ sculpture~ music and learning experience can be realized.
Also, by combining these several unique and aesthetic disciplines under one roof, so to speak,
each different owner/manager/participant will enjoy greater retail benefits and an enhanced
consumer image than from a stand-alone effort.
AFFILIATION WITH A MAJOR ARTS AND MUSIC COLLEGE
AS previously mentioned, it is proposed that an Arts College become a major part o£this center
through the leasing ora portion of the first floor area area. A lease arrangement can be worked
out for this space, either for the entire year, or a scheduled arrangement negotiated £or a
percentage of use, with the lease price prorated by that schedule.
Ideally, it would be beneficial and more focused if the College decided to enter into a long term
formal lease agreement basically making this building a "Satellite" annex, as part of the planned
expansion to the existing campus. This satellite will be dedicated to the music and arts programs
at the college, and coordinated with current or developing curriculum.
The remaining time would be made available to any outside entities, for parties, gatherings,
corporate outings, and private workshops.
PARTICIPANTS -
Bud Koehler - Oxvner of Osprey's Dominion Vineyards and Koehler Construction
(Bud will build and own the building.)
Tom Stephenson - Manager, Osprey Dominion Vineyards
Dr. Maureen Carey - Artist; Spirituality Workshops; ( resume attached )
Craig Hansen -- Vice President of Omega Moulding, a wholesale picture flame moulding
company with 20 years experience in the Fine'Art and Framing industry.
Bryan Hansen -- Framing Shop owner/manager, 25 years flaming experience
Arnold Hansen - Co-owner of the Viking Gallery; freelance writer; retired Advertising
Creative Director; Creative Writing Instructor
Josh Miller - Fine Art Gallery Designer
Additionally, there are over 25 creative and well known artists whom have expressed an interest
in working with the new gallery, participating in shows, and displaying their works on a
consignment basis. They include:
Dr. Maureen Carey
Albert Miglio
Jacqueline Penney
Wendy Csoka
Charles Wildbank
Apo Torosyan
Pamela Dulong Williams
Since tastes in original paintings vary widely and cyclically, these artists can be changed to
conform to consumer preferences and sales patterns. However, all of the gallery offerings will
feature prominently in establishing a fine reputation for this Community Arts Center.
SUMMARY -
At this point, without going into further detailed specifics of the project, a brief
review of the unique Osprey's Art Dominion center would seem to be expedient.
It all begins with a recognized, established vineyard on the beautifully pastoral North Fork of
Long Island. To this existing landscape, a new two-level, aesthetically functional building will
be added. It will house several interrelated retail businesses, and provide facilities for both
educational and civic pursuits - all artistic and otherwise creative in nature. Both the original
structures and the one to be erected will be interconnected in park like surroundings, thereby
encouraging consumers to enjoy all of the Center's offerings.
On the human side of things, there are many people (some are listed herein) who feel a kinship
for this concept. Not only can they visualize its viability, but in addition, they have the expertise
to make the dream a reality. Of course, all of us know that altmiam is not much ora motivating
force in this day and age, and that profits role in the consideration of any business venture.
Yet upon reflection, there somehoTM seems to be room for both in this artful project.

Ladies, Gentlemen:
The current status of this matter is as follows:
1. The wetlands were flagged and the surveyor has plotted them on the map.
2. We are scheduling a meeting with our environmental consultant to discuss wetlands
considerations in building placement.
3. We have requested preliminary revisions to the proposed site plan to address
wetlands locations and parking considerations. When the meeting with the
environmental consultant it held, we will incorporate his suggestions in the
revisions.
4. When the plan revised, we will send a copy to the Planning Board for pre-
submission review.
5. We have reconfigured the entire concept of the building to a purely cultural arts
center and have eliminated the retail aspects (frame shop, etc.)
5. We will provide an analysis of alternative sites on the property.

module Is 15150 Drive Train assembly manufactured by AOC. The applicant proposes a
20-year time frame.
During the hearings, nearby landowners and homeowners expressed concerns regarding
noise drone levels at certain times of operation. The applicant confirms increased noise
Page 2 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5432v- LIPNKeyspanlOsprey
75-t-20.1, 20.2 at Peconlc
and vibration levels for a limited time period, and proposes Iow-noise emission level
equipment and operational procedures during construction activities. Max. sound power
level Is 101 dB (p. 2-37 of EA).
Neighbors also expressed concern over the visual impacts in this rural neighborhood.
Once the structure Is built, it will be visible from locations within 1-mlle. The structure
would be easily viewed from the Scenic Byways Corridor designed by New York State
(Route 25 and Route 48) and within 1740 feet, or more, over open spaces and fields.
The property Is at least 600 feet wide, and clearly visible from adJacent areas, including
open fields, residences, pedestrians, and while driving along the Main Road and along
Wells Road to the southwest. The proposed facility will also be visible across the fields
between the Peconic Recreation Center, from approximately seven homes on the west
side of Peconic Lane, and adjacent areas on the east and north of this site. A structure at
125 feet in height is not consistent with the surrounding rural character of this area and
will be visible from various segments of the roadways and from nearby parks, landscapes,
farms and other open spaces, and residentially used property. The Installation of this
structure will create a distinctly commercial view Intsrfeflng with the historical and rural
vistas on the New York State designed Scenic Byway, and the Town of Southold's major
east-west thoroughfare. The particular site chosen by applicant is a well-established
vineyard with at least 49 acres of open space and agricultural winery. Also, the adjoining
residential and agriculturally zoned uses (landscape nursery, farmland, single-family
dwellings) are expanding.
In addressing visual concerns, the applicant has offered: a) monthly site visits, b) a
neutral color and a design with lattice built into the structure, and c) to locate the
structure north of the two winery buildings on the site, within the agricultural landscape
and grape vineyards. These measures do not satisfy the concerns about visibility, since
monthly site visits will only confirm and not remedy this concern, and do not demonstrate
how additional construction material (lattice) makes the tower and blades less visible,
particularly at the top half portion of the tower where the blades are visible over the
existing buildings and tree lines and not screened from view.
The applicant owns other parcels within Suffolk County either being used or available for
an experimental energy generating purposes, Including some that are already improved
with public utility structure uses. It Is not disputed that other areas within the Town or
County are available for purchase or lease to house such an experimental project.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials
submitted and personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Grant of the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The particular site chosen by applicant
is an established vineyard with at least 49 acres of open space and existing agricultural
activities. A Town Recreation Center, Jean W. Cochrsn Park, and Robert W. Tasker Park
are all located on Peconic Lane near the proposed facility. The proposed facility will be
Page 3 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5432v - LIPAJKeyspan/Osprey
75-1-20.1,20.2 at Peconic
visible across the fields between the Peconic Recreation Center and the Main Road and
give an "industrial" appearance. The proposed 125 ft. high wind turbine structure Is not
consistent with the surrounding rural character of this area, and the proposed 125 ft. high
structure will create a distinctly commercial view over the surrounding farm lands and
open spaces, impacting and Interfering with the historical and rural vistas on the New York
State designed Scanlc Byway, and the Town of Southold's major east-west thoroughfare.
It is conceded that the proposed turbine will increase noise and vibration levels in the
neighborhood.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the
applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. The applicant is proposing a wind
turbine structure at a height of 125 feet, Instead of the code's height limitation of 18 feet,
as an experiment over a 20-year time period. At the public hearing, the Board asked the
applicant whether the turbine could be reduced in height, and no proof was offered to
show whether a lower structure (wind turbine) was in good faith planned and constructed
at any other locations, for any periods of times, with alternative designs or at an
alternative, lower height. Also, the applicant has not demonstrated a current public need
for the height of this structure at 125 feet to serve areas within the town. The applicant did
not present detailed evidence as to which sites could be or may have been considered in
its analysis. It was not adequately demonstrated that this particular agricultural site Is the
only place it can put a wind turbine, and why a full 125 ft. height instead of an alternative
lower height is necessary.
3. The variance requested is substantial in relation to the code requirement. The height
requested is 107 feet greater than the code limitation of 18 feet, resulting in a variance
greater than 500%.
4. The alleged difficulty has been self-created. The code provisions were in effect prior to
applicant's plan to purchase and build this structure, knowing that the proposed structure
is not a public necessity serving the town, and knowing that the structure is experimental,
and that the height exceeds the code at 125 feet in height.
5. Information has been submitted to suggest that grant of the relief requested will have
an adverse impact on physical and environmental conditions in the neighborhood. This
particular site chosen by applicant is a well-established vineyard with at least 49 acres of
open space and agricultural winery. Also, the adjoining residential and agriculturally
zoned uses (landscape nursery, farmland, single-family dwellings) are expanding. The
proposed 125 ff. high wind turbine structure is not consistent with the surrounding rural
and residential character of this area. A Town Recreation Center, Jean W. Cochran Park,
and Robert W. Tasker Park are all located on Peconic Lane near the proposed facility. The
proposed facility will be visible across the fields between the Peconic Recreation Center
and the Main Road and give an "industrial" appearance. The proposed 125 ft. high
structure will create a distinctly commercial view, visible from the nearby homes and over
the surrounding open farm lands and other open spaces, impacting and interfering with
the historical and rural vistas on the New York State designed Scenic Byway, and the
Town of Southold's major east-west thoroughfare.

6. The proposed wind turbine would increase noise levels at the nearby residence by 1.3
dBA to a background noise level of approximately 49.7 dBA (rof. 2-38 of EA). Maximum
noise levels from the blades of the proposed wind turbine occur during periods when high
winds occur. The applicant stated that the maximum sound power level is 101 decibels of
noise from the proposed wind turbine. During periods of high winds, ambient noise levels
tend to be higher. (Pgs. 2-37, 2-38 EA).

ZBA #5450-SE - Lono Island Power Authority, Lessee, by Kevsr}an, as A~ent
Property Owner: Osprey Dominion Ltd. by Frederick Koehler, President
Property Location: 44075 Main Road, Peconic; CTM #75-1-20.1; 20.2
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The applicant's parcel is located in the Agricultural-
Conservation (A/C) Zone District, and consists of 50+- acres, 4.6+- acres for the existing
winery/agricultural use and 45.4+- acres, located on the north side of the Main Road (NYS
Route 25) In Peconic. A 4.6+- acre section of the entire 50 acres is improved with two
agricultural buildings and on-site processing of grapes from owner's vineyards.
APPLICANT'S RECIUESTIBASIS OF APPLICATION: The applicant is requesting a Special
Exception under 100-31B(6) for a proposed experimental public utility wind turbine.
STANDARDS/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: After review of the requirements set forth
pursuant to Chapter 100 governing a public utility right-of-way, structure and use, as
provided under Section 100-31B(6) in this Special Exception application, and on the basis
of testimony presented, materials submitted, and personal inspection, the Board finds:
The applicant (LIPA) is a public utility leasing 875 sq. ft. of land, with dedication of a two-
acre area for the proposed turbine. The 12/17103 site map, revised 3/15/04 by J. Grammas
Consultants, shows all areas of the agricultural site, existing and proposed, with the wind
turbine use. The owner's 4.6+- acre site (CTM 75-1-20.1) Is occupied by the owner's
agricultural winery. The owner's contiguous vineyard property, restricted to prohibit
development, is 45.4+- acres. Combined the total property consists of 50.84 acres. Also
submitted are a 12/17/03 Landscape Plan and construction details for the proposed 125'
high wind turbine (100' plus 25' blade span). The wind turbine is shown in its proposed
location 600 feet north of the Main Road.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The applicant, LIPA/Keyspan, indicates a 20-yr. lease, with a 25' x 35' section of land for
construction and operation of a turbine structure. The purpose of the wind turbine
structure is as an experimental purpose related to generating clean energy, in a joint 10-
year program with the LI Farm Bureau for demonstration purposes. The production
module is 15/50 Drive Train assembly manufactured by AOC. The applicant proposes a
20-year time frame.
During the hearings, nearby landowners and homeowners expressed concerns regarding
noise drone levels at certain times of operation. The applicant confirms increased noise
Page 2 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5450-SE - Osprey Dominion/LIPA
75-t-20.1, 20.2 at Peconlc
and vibration levels for a limited time period, and proposes Iow-noise emission level
equipment and operational procedures during construction activities. Max. sound power
level Is 101 dB (p. 2-37 of EA).
Neighbors also expressed concern over the visual impacts in this rural neighborhood.
Once the structure Is built, It will be visible from locations within l-mile. The structure
would be easily viewed from the Scenic Byways Corridor designed by New York State
(Route 25 and Route 48) and within 1740 feet, or more, over open spaces and fields.
In addressing visual concerns, the applicant has offered: a) monthly site visits, b) a
neutral color and a design with lattice built into the structure, and c) to locate the
structure north of the two winery buildings on the site, within the agricultural landscape
and grape vineyards. These measures do not satisfy the concerns about visibility, since
monthly site visits will only confirm and not remedy this concern, and do not demonstrate
how additional construction material (lattlca) makes the tower and blades less visible,
particularly at the top half portion of the tower where the blades are visible over the
existing buildings and tree lines, and not screened from view.
The applicant owns other parcels within Suffolk County either being used or available for
an experimental energy generating purposes, Including some that are already Improved
with public utility structure or uses. It is not disputed that other areas within the Town or
County are available for purchase or lease to house such an experimental project.
Zoning Code Section 100-31B(6) provides that:
§ 100-31. Use regulations. [Amended 3-14-1989 by L.L. No. 3-1989]
In A-C, R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Diatdcta, no building or premises shall be used and
no building or part of a building shall be erected or altered which Is arranged, intended or
daslgned to be used, In whole or In part, for any uses except the following:
B. Uses permitted by special exception by the Board of Appeals. (Amended 12-21-
1993 by L.L. No. 27-1993]. The following uses are permitted by special exception
from the Board of Appeals, as hereinafter provided, and, except for two-family
dwellings and the uses set forth in Subsection B(14) hereof, are subject to site
plan approval by the Planning Board:
(6) Public utility rights-of-way as well as structures and other Installations
necessary to serve areas within the town, except that wireless communication
facllltias must obtain approval pursuant to Article XVl, subject to such conditions as
the Board of Appeals may impose In order to protect and promote the health, safety,
appearance and general welfare of the community and the character of the
neighborhood In which the proposed structure Is to be constructed. [Amended t1-12-
1997 by L.L. No. 28-t997]
First, the Board determines that the proposed 125 ft. high wind turbine structure does not
qualify as a special exception use under Section 100-31B(6). The proposed wind turbine is
neither a "public utility right-of-way" nor a structure or other Installation that is "necessary
Page 3 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5450-SE - Osprey Dominion/LIPA
75-1-20.1, 20.2 at Peconlc
to serve" any area within the town. By definition, the conceded "experimental" wind
turbine cannot be construed as necessary. Moreover, the proposed turbine is not in
harmony with the zoning ordinance and will adversely affect the neighborhood for the
reasons noted below.
2. The Board has reviewed the General Standards governing Special Exception uses set
forth in Section 100-263 and finds that:
A) The use of a portion of this property for installation of a wind turbine structure
will prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties and uses in this zone
district and properties and uses in adjacent districts. The adjacent properties are in the
Agricultural-Conservation and Residential Zone Districts. The safety, health, welfare,
comfort, convenience, and the order of the town will be affected by the proposed use and
its location. The proposed wind turbine is 125 feet in height to be hosted on an open
farm. The structure is not consistent with the surrounding rural character of this area
and will prevent the orderly and reasonable use of properties adjacent to this property and
adjacent districts. The structure as proposed has not been a necessity for the operation
of the farm or as a public necessity to serve the town. The proposed 125 ft. high structure
will create a distinctly commercial view over the surrounding farm lands and open spaces,
Impacting and Interfering with the historical and rural farms and open vistas along the
New York State designed Scenic Byway, and the Town of Southold's major east-west
thoroughfare.
B) The use will not be In harmony with and will not promote the general purposes
and intent of the code. Zoning Code Section 100-31B(6) clearly states that the only
potentially pertinent use to be authorized by Special Exception is, "a public utility rl~lht-of-
wav as well as structures and other installations necessary to serve areas within th~
town." The applicant is proposing a wind turbine with blades at '125 feet in height as an
experimental facility hosted on an open farm. The proposed structure and use is not a
public utility right-of-way. In addition, notwithstanding the experimental nature of this
structure, the turbine could easily be located on other lands, including on other available
lands in the area, or on other lands owned, leased or otherwise available to LIPA or
Keyspan. As stated, it is neither a public utility right-of-way necessary to serve areas
within the Town. It is not a permitted use and therefore contrary to the purposes of the
code.
C) The wind turbine is not compatible with its surroundings or with the character of
the neighborhood and of the community in general, particularly with regarding to visibility,
scale and overall appearance. The particular site chosen by applicant is and has been a
well-established vineyard with at least 49 acres dedicated to agricultural open space,
vineyards, and an agricultural winery use. Also, the adjoining residential and
agriculturally zoned uses are expanding and consist of a landscape nursery use, farm
uses, single-family dwellings. A Town Recreation Center, Jean W. Cochran Park, and
Robert W. Tasker Park are all located on Peconic Lane near the proposed wind turbine
tower. The proposed tower with turbine blades will be visible across the fields between
Page 4 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5450-SE- Osprey Dominion/LIPA
75-1-20. t, 20.2 at Peconic
the Peconlc Recreation Center, from the Main Road, and will give an "industrial"
appearance. The proposed 125 feet In height will create a distinctly commercial view,
visible from the nearby homes and viewed over the surrounding rural, open farm lands
and other open spaces, impacting and Interfering with the historical and rural vistas on the
New York State designed Scenic Byway, and the Town of Southold's major east-west
thoroughfare.
3. In making this determination, the Board has also reviewed other matters under Section
100-264, and finds that adverse conditions will result from an approval of a special
exception In this matter.'
A. There will be changes adversely affecting the character of the existing and
probable development of uses In the district and the peculiar suitability of such district for
the location of such permitted uses. The proposed 125 ft. high wind turbine structure will
adversely affect the rural character of the surrounding area and the probably expansion of
agricultural and residential uses. The property Is Zoned Agricultural-Conservation and R-
40 Low-Density Residential. The proposed 125 ft. high structure will create a distinctly
commerolal view over the surrounding farm lands and open spaces, Impacting and
Interfering with the historical and rural vistas on the New York State designed Scenic
Byway, and the Town of Southold's major east-west thoroughfare. The particular site
chosen by applicant is a well-established vineyard with at least 49 acres of agricultural
and residential open space and agricultural winery. Also, the adjoining residential and
agriculturally zoned uses (landscape nursery, farmland, single-family dwellings) are
probable expanding permitted uses. The location of a commercial wind turbine Is peculiar
to this district.
B. Property values will not be conserved. No evidence has been submitted to
show that the proposed experimental wind turbine In this area of surrounding agricultural
and residential uses will conserve property values. The proposed turbine tower Is not a
public utility necessary to serve the Town, and as such is not an authorized use in this
Agricultural-Conservation Zone District. The structure Is not a farm structure, and no wind
turbines have historically existed within area farms in the town for the purpose proposed
by applicant. The applicant also has not provided proof that the structure is accessory or
Incidentally necessary to the agricultural uses at the slt~: The applicant also has not
proven that installation of this structure is a public necessity to serve the town.
C. The operation of a wind turbine at a height of 125 feet will cause undue
Interference with the orderly enjoyment by the public, and by recreational facilities,
existing or proposed by the town or by other competent governmental agencies. The wing
span of the blades will be 50 feet wide, and viewed above the tops of mature trees, visible
from the Main Road and areas to the south/west, over and above the roof of the existing
agricultural building(s). The area has historically existed as rural with open vistas,
farmland and single-family residences. The Interference will be caused by visual effects
as an "Industrial" structure from many sites, and with varying noise effects up to 101 dBA
(maximum) from several directions.
Page 5 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5450-SE - Osprey Dominion/LIPA
75-1-20.1, 20.2 at Peconlc
D. The site is not particularly suitable for a wind turbine operation considering its
size and character of the neighborhood. The wind turbine Is proposed at a height of 125
ft. from ground level, which Is 107 feet higher than the zoning code permits. A structure of
this height is not consistent with the surrounding rural character of this area, and the
proposed 125 ft. high structure will be visible from various segments of the roadways and
from nearby parks, landscapes, and surrounding farms, open spaces, and residentially
used property. The Installation of this structure will create a distinctly commercial view
interfering with the historical and rural vistas on the New York State designed Scenic
Byway, and the Town of Southold's major east-west thoroughfare. The particular site
chosen by applicant is a well-established vineyard with at least 49 acres of open space
and agricultural winery. Also, the adjoining residential and agriculturally zoned uses
(landscape nursery, farmland, single-family dwellings) are expanding. An existing Town
Recreation Center, Jean W. Cochran Park, and Robert W. Tasker Park are all located on
Peconic Lane near the proposed facility. The proposed facility will be visible across the
fields between the Peconic Recreation Center and the Main Road. There are
approximately seven homes on the west side of Peconlc Lane that would have views of
the proposed facility. The closest mature trees adjacent to the proposed facility ara at
about 60 feet in height, which does not screen the very visible 125 ft. height at the top half
section of the proposed facility. Adding lattice work to the structure as offered by the
applicant would increase its visibility rather than reduce it.
E. Evidence and concerns with respect to visual impact and noise impact have
been presented to show that there will be detrimental Impacts to adiacent properties and
land uses.
Noise impacts: The proposed wind turbine would increase noise levels at the
nearby residence by 1.3 dBA to a background noise level of approximately 49.7
dBA (ref. 2-38 of EA). Maximum noise levels from the blades of the proposed wind
turbine occur during periods when high winds occur. The applicant stated that the
maximum sound power level is 101 decibels of noise from the proposed wind
turbine. During periods of high winds, ambient noise levels tend to be higher.
(pgs. 2-37, 2-38 EA).
Visual impacts: The property is at least 600 feet wide, and clearly visible from
adjacent areas, including open fields, residences, pedestrians, and while driving
along the Main Road and along Wells Road to the southwest. The proposed
facility will also be visible across the fields between the Peconic Recreation
Center, from approximately seven homes on the west side of Peconic Lane, and
adjacent areas on the east and north of this site. A structure at this proposed 125
feet in height is not consistent with the surrounding rural character of this area
and will be visible from various segments of the roadways and from nearby parks,
landscapes, farms and other open spaces, and residentially used property. The
installation of this structure will create a distinctly commercial view interfering with
the historical and rural vistas on the New York State designed Scenic Byway, and
Page 6 - May 20, 2004
Appl. No. 5450-SE - Osprey Dominion/LIPA
75-1-20.1, 20.2 at Peconlc
the Town of Southold's major east-west thoroughfare. The particular site chosen
by applicant Is a well-established vineyard with at least 49 acres of open space and
agricultural winery. Also, the adjoining residential and agriculturally zoned uses
(landscape nursery, farmland, single-family dwellings) are expanding.
4. The Board further concludes that without meeting the requirements of Section 100-31B
as a public utility right-of-way, or structure, or Installation, necessary to serve areas within
the Town, rather than as an experimental wind turbine, the Special Exception may not be
granted. The Board concludes that the wind turbine, as applied for, does not meet the
considerations for a Special Exception.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the
balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Chairwoman OIIva,
seconded by Member Orlando, and duly carried, to
