Reso to Set P.H. Manor Grove O. 7Acre Acquisition
RESOLVED that pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 185 (Open Space Preservation) and
Chapter 17 (Community Preservation Fund) of the Town Code, the Town Board of the Town of
Southold hereby sets Tuesday, February 28, 2012, at 4:32 p.m, Southold Town Hall, 53095
Main Road, Southold, New York as the time and place for a public hearing for the purchase of
property from The Nature Conservancy, contract vendee for the properties owned by Manor
Grove Corporation. Said property is identified as p/o SCTM #1000-53-1-1.2. The area to be
purchased is 0.722 acre. The Town of Southold and County of Suffolk, as joint tenants in
common, are under separate contract to purchase fee title to 28.743 acres of the Manor Grove
Corporation properties for open space purposes from The Nature Conservancy (as contract
vendee). The additional 0.722 acre area is improved with a framed dwelling and two barns and is
known as Lot #1 on a pending Manor Grove Corporation Conservation Subdivision application
under review by the Southold Town Planning Board. The address of the property is 68775 Route
25, in Greenport, New York. The property is located within the LB (Limited Business) zoning
district.
The proposed acquisition is for the Town to acquire fee title to this 0.722 acre property for open
space purposes. The exact area of the purchase is subject to a Town provided survey. The
purchase will be funded by the Community Preservation Fund. It is the Town's intent to remove
all existing improvements located on the 0.722 acre area.
The Town's purchase price for fee title to the 0.722 acre area is $150,000.00. The purchase is
subject to a preceding or simultaneous closing on the remainder of the parcel, the 28.743 acre
area, by the Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk as joint tenants in common. Should the
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - February 14, 2012
Page 16
Town of Southold and the County of Suffolk fail to close and acquire these described interests in
real property, the Town of Southold, as Purchaser, shall have no obligation to close on the
Premises described herein and shall have the right to immediately terminate an executed
Purchase Agreement.
The Manor Grove property is listed on the Town's Community Preservation Project Plan as
property that should be preserved for open space, nature preserve, passive recreational purposes,
and fresh and saltwater marsh and wetland protection. Proposed uses of the property may include
the establishment of a nature preserve, passive recreational area with trails, and limited parking
for access purposes. The property is adjacent to, and in the vicinity of, other properties within the
Pipes Cove Area which have been preserved for similar purposes, and the use of the property
will be in conjunction with uses that may be developed for the overall Pipes Cove Area. The
Nature Conservancy will be working in partnership with the Town to prepare a Pipes
Cove/Arshamomaque Preserve Stewardship and Management Plan for preserved properties
within the Pipes Cove area.
The Land Preservation Coordinator has reviewed the acquisition in accordance with Chapter 117
(Transfer of Development Rights) of the Code of the Town of Southold, Section 117-5. One (1)
Sanitary Flow Credit may be available for transfer from the property upon the Town's purchase
of the property. The transfer of the Sanitary Flow Credit will not be finalized, and shall not
occur, until the Town closes on the property, and the Town Board passes a resolution allowing
the transfer into the Town TDR Bank.
FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned
parcel of land is on file in Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375
Route 25, Southold, New York, and may be examined by any interested person during business

§280-127. Applicability.
This article shall apply to every land use that is permitted in the Town of Southold except the
single-family home use on a single and separate lot as set forth in Article III, § 280-13A(1), and
customary nonagricultural accessory uses to a single-family residential home use as stated in the

§280-128. Findings of fact; purpose.
A. The Town Board wishes to protect the unique rural and open space character of the Town

In considering and acting upon site dcvc!e, pmcra plans, the Planning Board shall take into
consideration the public health, safety and welfare, the economic impact and the comfort and
convenience of the public in general and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in
particular and may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards as may be required in order

number; adequate in width, grade, alignment and visibility; are located in proper

Roadway improvements not directly in front of the site may be necessary and required,
based on overall traffic circulation and signalization of adjacent access points and streets.
B. Interior circulation and parking: that adequate off-street parking and loading spaces are
provided to satisfy the parking needs of the proposed uses on site and that the interior
circulation system is so designed to provide convenient access to such spaces consistent
with pedestrian safety, and, further, that loading areas shall not impede the flow of
interior pedestrian and vehicular traffic and that for certain uses, adequate interior
roadways are provided to confine operations to the site. Handicap accessibility shall be
provided and placed at the nearest point to the proposed structure.
C. Landscaping and screening: that all parking, service and similar areas are screened at all
seasons of the year from view of adjacent residential districts and streets and that the
landscaping of the site complements the intended use. Existing trees of at least six inches
or more in diameter measured three feet above the base of the trunk shall be retained to
the maximum extent possible.
D. Natural features: that high priority shall be given to:

make use of an aesthetically pleasing and safe combination of pavements and plant
materials which would serve to encourage their use by pedestrians and vehicles.

be located to minimize sound to adjoining properties or on the adjacent street.

on adjoining sites to avoid unnecessary excavation or filling and that all stormwater
runoff generated on site will be retained on site in an environmentally acceptable manner.
All grading and drainage plans must meet with the requirements of the Town Engineer
and/or Superintendent of Highways.
Public utilities: that plans for water supply and sewage disposal, cable, telephone,
electricity, gas, etc., shall be considered and included in this section and shall conform to
