Re: Proposed Standard Subdivision of Patrick Guadagno
SCTM# 1000- 27-1-2 Zoning District: R-80
SEP 2 3 2010
This proposal is for a standard subdivision to subdivide a 10-acre parcel into two lots where Lot
1 is 1.5 acres and Lot 2 is 8.5 acres, inclusive of a 2.5-acre building envelope and 6 acres of
subdivision open space.
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the
Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy
Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form
submitted to this department, the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the LWRP, provided
that the below recommendations are required in the subdivision approval.
The New York Department of State GIS- Public Access map was referenced for occurrence of
archeo-sensitive areas on site. The area is included and identified as an archeo-sensitive site.
Therefore, it is unknown if the proposed action will impair important historical or archaeological
resources at this time.
To further the intent of Policy 27 Preserve historic resources of the Town of Southold it is
recommended that an archeolo.qical survey be conducted within the Iot/buildinq areas.
Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold.
Use appropriate siting, scales, forms, and materials to ensure that structures are
compatible with and add interest to existing scenic components.
E. Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to
enhance scenic quality:
Restore historic or important designed landscapes to preserve intended
or designed aesthetic values.
It is recommended that the Board require the installation of street trees pursuant
to (§ 161.44. Street trees.) along Orchard Street, including Lot I frontage. Trees
should be specified as native and wire friendly.
Figure 1. Subject parcel.
Protect visual quality associated with agricultural land, open space and natural
resources.
Avoid structures or activities which introduce visual interruptions to
natural landscapes including:
a. introduction of intrusive artificial light sources
b. fragmentation of and structural intrusion into open space areas
it is recommended that the Board waive the street lighting requirements (§ 240.46.
Lighting) to preserve the night sky in the area.
The subdivision is proposed as a reduced density, split cluster subdivision. The
split cluster application requires a waiver from Chapter 240. It is recommended
that the Board preserve the scenic qualities of the view shed from Orchard Street
to further the intent cluster design. This could be accomplished by identifying the
optimal area for the construction of agricultural related structures within the 6
acre parcel subject to a conservation easement.
The surrounding properties water supplies are from private wells. There is no intent from the
Suffolk County Water Supply to expand public water services to the area. Therefore, to further
Policy 5, and protect and improve the water quality and supply in the area, and protect the
water quality of the sole source aquifer, it is recommended that the following best
management practices be required:
1. Require the use of native plants, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping.
2. Prohibit the residential application and use of synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides capable of entering the potable water supply.
a. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble
nitrogen is no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture.
b. Require a maximum of 1 lb. of nitrogen per 1000 square feet in any one
application, with a cumulative application of no more than 2 lbs. per
1,000 square feet per year.
c. Apply fertilizer products only during the growing season (typically mid-
March through mid-October).
3. Prohibit the use of underground storage tanks, (except those with spill,
overfill, and corrosion protection requirements in place).
4. Require that pervious driveways serve each lot. Note that the 15' flag serving
Lot 2 lacks drainage.
Please contact me at (631) 765-1938 if you have any questions regarding the above.
