Laud Tracking Summary for the 1st Quarter of 2010 (January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010)
Prepared May 3ra, 2010
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 R40, 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.

Town of Southold
Land Tracking Summary for the Ist Quarter of 2010 (January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010)
Prepared May 3rd, 2010
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 t, 2004 onward is included in this report.
Acres ofSubdividable Buildable Land that is consideredthe Town'stargetas of Aprill,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 A~C & 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
Page 2 of 6
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 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 BIflLDING 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. In cases
where the Planning Department has accepted a yield map this yield supersedes the sum of DENSITY
REDUCTION PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION multiplied by
the subdivision factor from the 2003 DGEIS part of the calculation noted above.

Tracking Statistics for the period January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010
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.
