State Environmental Quality Review
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Notice of Determination Non-Significant
June 3, 2013
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to
Article 7 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Law.
The Southold Town Planning Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Name of Action: CJC1 Corporation
SCTM#: 1000-45-4-4.1 Zone: B
Location: 74495 NYS Route 25, approximately 734' west of Moores Lane on
the north side of NYS Route 25, in Greenport
SEAR Status: Type I ( )
Unlisted (X)
Conditioned Negative Declaration: Yes ( )
No (X)
Description of Action:
This site plan is for the proposed construction of an 80' x 112' mixed-use building. The
first floor containing approximately 3,354 sq. ft. of retail space, 1,677 sq. ft. contractor's
business office, 4,960 sq. ft. for general storage and a 1,188 sq. ft. second floor
apartment -with an area of unfinished attic (total 8,502 sq. ft.) on a 1.036 acre parcel in
the B Zone.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed. The
determination was based upon the following:
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Two
Impact on Land
Soils on site consist of Canadice silt loam (CA) in the rear of the property and cut and
filled land (Cu6) in the front of the property. The property soils are poorly drained.
Potential impacts to the soil stability have been mitigated with on-site, subsurtace
drainage systems.
The proposed action is not expected to result in a significant adverse impact on land.
Impact of Water
1. Water Supply
Public water is currently supplied to the existing building via a 1" public water service
line. No significant impacts to public water supply are expected.
2. Sanitary Disposal
In 1978, the Long Island Regional Planning Board published the Long Island
Comprehensive Waste Treatment Management Plan (208 Study). The 208 Study
identified eight (8) hydrogeologic zones in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. These zones
were distinguished based upon differences in underlying groundwater flow patterns and
water quality. The subject site is located within SCDHS Groundwater Management
Zone IV, which according to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, has an
allowable flow of 600 gallons per day (gpd) per acre in areas served by public water.
Therefore, the allowable nitrogen bearing flow for the total 45,128 square feet is 1,036
gpd. The combined uses (dry stores, industrial, residential) are assessed at 506 gpd,
therefore, the proposed uses meet the maximum allowable flow.
The proposed application would conform to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary
Code and would not be expected to adversely affect groundwater quality provided
properly functioning systems are designed and installed.
3. Ground or Surface Water Quality or Quantity
The existing storm water drainage patterns will be impacted resulting from the
development of the site.
The proposed action is located south of the Greenport Village park land known as
Moore's Woods. The park land contains numerous freshwater wetland systems which
are under Town of Southold Board of Trustees jurisdiction. The parcel contains one
wetland system near the eastern property boundary. Potential water quality impacts to
the wetland systems could include storm water run-off carrying pollutants. To mitigate
such impacts The Town of Southold Board of Trustees issued a permit in 2007 (6725)
that required minimum 60' setback to the parking area. On December 16, 2009, a
second Board of Trustees permit was issued fora 40' and 51' separation distance
(buffer) from the parking area to the wetland boundaries. Correspondingly, the
Southold Town Planning Board has required a "limit of grading and ground disturbance"
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Three
north between the property boundary and the parking area. Storm water will be
contained in a subsurface drainage system designed fora 2" rainfall event, and
therefore, potential impacts from storm water run-off are expected to be low.
On September 25, 2009, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation
issued a permit (1-4738-03683/0001) for the proposed action with eleven special
conditions. Condition Six requires that all equipment and machinery be stored and
safely contained greater than 100 feet landward of the regulated feature (freshwater
wetland). The condition also requires fuel and other chemical storage tanks to be
located greater than 100 feet from the regulated feature.
Test holes indicate that water was encountered at 8.(i' (test hole 1) and 9.6' (test hole
2) below grade. Eight drainage structures (drywells) are proposed for the proposed
building and parking area. The depth to groundwater is proposed at 2' separation from
the bottom on the leaching pools. The proposed drainage is adequate to capture run-
off from a 2" rainfall and therefore, potential impacts from storm water run-off are
expected to be low. No substantial impact to groundwater is expected to occur if the
project is implemented as planned.
4. Flooding
The proposed improvements are located within FEMA Flood Zone X; areas identified as
areas of moderate or minimal hazard from the principal source of flood in the area,
therefore, the potential impacts from threat of flooding are low.
Impact on Air
No substantial adverse change in existing air quality is expected to occur.
Impact on Plants and Animals
The parcel is located immediately south of and adjacent to a New York State
Department of State Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area Pipes Cove Creek and
Moore's Drain (see attached narrative).
The Pipes Cove Creek and Moore's Drain Habitat is located on Long Island's North
Fork, between Hashamomuck Pond and the Village of Greenport in the Town of
Southold and Village of Greenport, Suffolk County (7.5' Quadrangles: Southold, NY,
and Greenport, NY). The fish and wildlife habitat is approximately 570 acres in size, and
is comprised of several habitat types, including a portion of the shallow waters of Pipes
Cove, the tidal creeks and marshes associated with Pipes Creek and Pipes Cove
Creek, the freshwater swamps of the Arshamomaque wetlands and the Moore's Drain
basin, open grasslands, and upland woods. Moore's Woods, which lies north of State
Route 25, is protected land owned by the Village of Greenport. The Arshamomaque
wetlands between Chapel Lane and Albertson Lane is under town or county ownership,
and is managed as protected open space lands. The habitat is bounded by Middle
Road on the north, Albertson Lane and Kerwin Boulevard on the west, Pipes Cove and
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Four
State Route 25 on the south, and the residential areas of the Village of Greenport to the
east. Water depths in the portion of Pipes Cove and associated creeks within the
habitat are less than three feet at mean low water. The habitat complex is bordered by
light and dense residential development, woodlands, and scattered commercial sites.
The Arshamomaque wetlands and Moore's Woods portions of this habitat both provide
habitat for swamp cottonwood (Populus heterophylla), a species designated as rare in
New York State by the New York Natural Heritage Program (NYSDOS 2005).
The New York State Environmental Research Mapper (2009) was referenced to
determine if records of rare or threatened plants or animals have been identified as
occurring on site. No rare or threatened plants or animals have been recorded on site
or within the vicinity of the site.
The parcel is improved with storage trailers, construction materials and heavy
equipment. The majority of the site is cleared and disturbed. Due to the level of
disturbance, the potential occurrence of rare or threatened plants or animals on site is
low. Conversely the occurrence of plant and animal species to the north, adjacent to
the site is high, however, due to the buffer established by the Planning Board and storm
water control on site expected impacts to plants and animals in the area is also
expected to be low to none.
Therefore, no significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation will
occur. Correspondingly, no substantial interference with the movement of any resident
or migratory fish or wildlife species nor impacts on a significant habitat area will occur.
Impact on Agricultural Land Resources
The parcel is not currently in agricultural production, therefore, no adverse impacts to
agricultural lands will occur.
Impact on Aesthetic Resources
The parcel is located north of State Route 25 (a New York State Scenic Byway).
Currently, the site is used as a contractor's yard. The proposed improvements will not
substantially adversely impact the current view shed and/or aesthetic resources.
Conversely, the proposed improvements will re-locate contractors equipment indoors.
No substantial adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to occur.
Impact on Historical and Archeological Resources
The New York Department of State GIS -Public Access Map was referenced for
occurrence of archeo-sensitive areas on site. The area is not included and identified as
an archeo-sensitive site.
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Five
Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The proposed action is located adjacent to Greenport Village parkland known as
Moore's Woods. Development within the area is not proposed. No significant impacts
to public open space or recreational areas will occur as a result of this action.
Impact on Critical Areas
The proposed action is not located within a New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation Critical Environmental Area.
Impact on Transportation
Access to the site is proposed via a single curb-cut fronting New York State Route 25, a
primary roadway. The action proposes four uses within a single building in the General
Business Zone: the first floor containing approximately 3,354 sq. ft. of retail space,
1,677 sq. ft. contractor's business office, 4,960 sq. ft. for general storage and a 1,188
sq. ft. second floor apartment -with an area of unfinished attic (total 8,502 sq. ft.).
The type of retail use is undefined in the application, therefore, the land use is not
classified within the ITE Trip Generation manual. To address the concerns of the
Planning Board regarding the intensity of internal traffic circulation and potential
impacts to the level of service of New York State Route 25 at this location, the applicant
has agreed to eliminate the convenience store use through the filing of a covenant on
the parcel. The contractor's office, storage area and apartment are much smaller in
square footage than the sampled sites in the ITE Trip Generation Report and,
therefore, projections for the uses cannot be made using the data. With the elimination
of the convenience store use on the parcel, a local trip generation study will not be
required.
Impact of Energy
No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.
Noise and Odor Impact
No substantial change in noise or odor is expected to occur.
Impact on Public Health
No creation of a hazard to human health is expected to occur. No substantial increase
in solid waste production, leaching or drainage problems is expected to occur if the
proposed action is implemented as planned.
SEAR Neoative Declaration -Page Six
Impact on Growth, Character of Community or Neighborhood
Proposed lighting will meet dark sky standards, be contained on-site and not trespass
onto adjacent parcels.
The proposed action is not in a significant material conflict with a community's current
plans or goals as officially approved or adopted.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to
occur should the project be implemented as planned.

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Notice of Determination Non-Significant
June 3, 2013
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to
Article 7 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Law.
The Southold Town Planning Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Name of Action: Richard Corazzini
SCTM#: 1000-84-1-32.1 Zone: Light Industrial
Location: 6245 Cox Lane, Cutchogue, New York
SEAR Status: Type I ( )
Unlisted (X)
Conditioned Negative Declaration: Yes ( )
No (X)
Description of Action:
This proposed site plan is fora 6,000 s.f. addition to an existing 3,150 s.f. building for
office space and storage on a 6.8 acre parcel in the LI Zoning District, Cutchogue.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed. The
determination was based upon the following:
SEAR Negative Declaration -Pape Two
Impact On Land
The test hole indicates that water is greater than -23 feet below grade. The depth to
groundwater is sufficient to meet the 3' separation distance required for sanitary
systems per Suffolk County Department of Health standards. No substantial impact to
groundwater is expected to occur if the project is implemented as planned. The
proposed action is not expected to result in a significant adverse impact on land.
Impact of Water
1. Water Supply
Public water is currently supplied to the existing building via a 2" water service line. No
significant impacts to public water supply are expected.
2. Sanitary Disposal
In 1978, the Long Island Regional Planning Board published the Long Island
Comprehensive Waste Treatment Management Plan (208 Study). The 208 Study
identified eight (8) hydrogeologic zones in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. These zones
were distinguished based upon differences in underlying groundwater flow patterns and
water quality. The subject site is located within SCDHS Groundwater Management
Zone IV, which according to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, has an
allowable flow of 600 gallons per day (gpd) per acre in areas served by public water.
Therefore, the allowable nitrogen bearing flow for the overall 6.86 acre site is 4,116
gpd. The combined uses (office area, warehouse area) are assessed at 378.6 gpd, the
total calculated flow is 4,116 and, therefore, the proposed uses meet the maximum
allowable flow.
The proposed application would conform to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary
Code and would not be expected to adversely affect groundwater quality provided
properly functioning systems are designed and installed.
3. Ground or Surface Water Quality or Quantity
Four drainage structures (drywells) are proposed for the existing and proposed building
additions. The drive and parking area will be re-designed to a pervious surface. The
proposed drainage is adequate to capture run-off from a 2" rainfall and therefore,
potential impacts from storm water runoff are expected to be low.
No surface water is located within the vicinity of the site.
4. Flooding
The proposed improvements are located within FEMA Flood Zone X; areas identified as
areas of moderate or minimal hazard from the principal source of flood in the area,
therefore, the potential impacts from threat of flooding are low.
SEOR Negative Declaration -Page Three
Impact on Air
No substantial adverse change in existing air quality is expected to occur.
Impact on Plants and Animals
The parcel is not located within a New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation Critical Environmental Area or a New York State Department of State
Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area.
The parcel is improved with existing buildings and operates as a sand and gravel
business. The majority of the site is cleared and little vegetation remains on site; the
proposed location of the addition has also been cleared of vegetation. The presence of
animals is low, therefore, the potential occurrence of rare or threatened plants or
animals on site or within the vicinity of the site is low.
No significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation will occur.
Correspondingly, no substantial interference with the movement of any resident or
migratory fish or wildlife species nor impacts on a significant habitat area will occur.
Impact on Agricultural Land Resources
The parcel is not currently in agricultural production, therefore, no adverse impacts to
agricultural lands will occur.
Impact on Aesthetic Resources
The parcel is located north of Cutchogue Business Center, a strip mall, and is not
visible from County Route 48, a New York State Scenic Byway. The site is located west
of Cox Lane, a Town public road.
No substantial adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to occur.
Impact on Historical and Archeological Resources
The site is heavily disturbed, improved and used as a sand and gravel yard. Further,
the area is NOT included and identified as included within the archeo-sensitive area
(MAPINFO GIS-Archeo- sensitive layer). The proposed additions are not expected to
impact important historical or archaeological resources.
Impact on Open Space and Recreation
No significant impacts to public open space or recreational areas will occur as a result
of this action.
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Four
Impact on Critical Areas
The proposed action is not located within a New York Department of Environmental
Conservation Critical Environmental Area.
Impact on Transportation
The proposed uses of the new additions are office and warehouse. No significant
traffic volume (generation) or flow will occur over existing conditions/use.
Impact of Energv
No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.
Noise and Odor Impact
No substantial change in noise or odor is expected to occur.
Impact on Public Health
No creation of a hazard to human health is expected to occur. No substantial increase
in solid waste production, leaching or drainage problems is expected to occur if the
proposed action is implemented as planned.
Impact on Growth. Character of Community or Neighborhood
Proposed lighting will meet dark sky standards, be contained on-site and not trespass
onto adjacent parcels.
The proposed action is not in a significant material conflict with a community's current
plans or goals as officially approved or adopted.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to
occur should the project be implemented as planned.

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Notice of Determination Non-Significant
June 3, 2013
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to
Article 7 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Law.
The Southold Town Planning Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Name of Action: CJC1 Corporation
SCTM#: 1000-45-4-4.1 Zone: B
Location: 74495 NYS Route 25, approximately 734' west of Moores Lane on
the north side of NYS Route 25, in Greenport
SEAR Status: Type I ( )
Unlisted (X)
Conditioned Negative Declaration: Yes ( )
No (X)
Description of Action:
This site plan is for the proposed construction of an 80' x 112' mixed-use building. The
first floor containing approximately 3,354 sq. ft. of retail space, 1,677 sq. ft. contractor's
business office, 4,960 sq. ft. for general storage and a 1,188 sq. ft. second floor
apartment -with an area of unfinished attic (total 8,502 sq. ft.) on a 1.036 acre parcel in
the B Zone.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed. The
determination was based upon the following:
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Two
Impact on Land
Soils on site consist of Canadice silt loam (CA) in the rear of 1:he property and cut and
filled land (Cu6) in the front of the property. The property soitls are poorly drained.
Potential impacts to the soil stability have been mitigated with on-site, subsurface
drainage systems.
The proposed action is not expected to result in a significant adverse impact on land.
Impact of Water
1. Water Supply
Public water is currently supplied to the existing building via ai 1" public water service
line. No significant impacts to public water supply are expected.
2. Sa~iitary Disposal
In 1978, the Long Island Regional Planning Board published the Long Island
Comprehensive Waste Treatment Management Plan (208 Study). The 208 Study
identified eight (8) hydrogeologic zones in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. These zones
were distinguished based upon differences in underlying groundwater flow patterns and
water quality. The subject site is located within SCDHS Groundwater Management
Zone IV, which according to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, has an
allowable flow of 600 gallons per day (gpd) per acre in areas served by public water.
Therefore, the allowable nitrogen bearing flow for the total 45,128 square feet is 1,036
gpd. The combined uses (dry stores, industrial, residential) are assessed at 506 gpd,
therefore, the proposed uses meet the maximum allowable flow.
The proposed application would conform to Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary
Code and would not be expected to adversely affect groundwater quality provided
properly functioning systems are designed and installed.
3. Ground or Surface Water Quality or Quantity
The existing storm water drainage patterns will be impacted resulting from the
development of the site.
The proposed action is located south of the Greenport Village park land known as
Moore's Woods. The park land contains numerous freshwater wetland systems which
are under Town of Southold Board of Trustees jurisdiction. The parcel contains one
wetland system near the eastern property boundary. Potential water quality impacts to
the wetland systems could include storm water run-off carrying pollutants. To mitigate
such impacts The Town of Southold Board of Trustees issued a permit in 2007 (6725)
that required minimum 60' setback to the parking area. On December 16, 2009, a
second Board of Trustees permit was issued fora 40' and 51' separation distance
(buffer) from the parking area to the wetland boundaries. Correspondingly, the
Southold Town Planning Board has required a "limit of grading and ground disturbance"
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Three
north between the property boundary and the parking area. Storm water will be
contained in a subsurface drainage system designed fora 2" rainfall event, and
therefore, potential impacts from storm water run-off are expected to be low.
On September 25, 2009, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation
issued a permit (1-4738-03683/0001) for the proposed action with eleven special
conditions. Condition Six requires that all equipment and machinery be stored and
safely contained greater than 100 feet landward of the regulated feature (freshwater
wetland). The condition also requires fuel and other chemical storage tanks to be
located greater than 100 feet from the regulated feature.
Test holes indicate that water was encountered at 8.6' (test hole 1) and 9.6' (test hole
2) below grade. Eight drainage structures (drywells) are proposed for the proposed
building and parking area. The depth to groundwater is proposed at 2' separation from
the bottom on the leaching pools. The proposed drainage is adequate to capture run-
off from a 2" rainfall and therefore, potential impacts from storm water run-off are
expected to be low. No substantial impact to groundwater is expected to occur if the
project is implemented as planned.
4. Flooding
The proposed improvements are located within FEMA Flood Zone X; areas identified as
areas of moderate or minimal hazard from the principal source of flood in the area,
therefore, the potential impacts from threat of flooding are low.
Impact on Air
No substantial adverse change in existing air quality is expected to occur.
Impact on Plants and Animals
The parcel is located immediately south of and adjacent to a New York State
Department of State Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area Pipes Cove Creek and
Moore's Drain (see attached narrative).
The Pipes Cove Creek and Moore's Drain Habitat is located on Long Island's North
Fork, between Hashamomuck Pond and the Village of Greenport in the Town of
Southold and Village of Greenport, Suffolk County (7.5' Quadrangles: Southold, NY,
and Greenport, NY). The fish and wildlife habitat is approximately 570 acres in size, and
is comprised of several habitat types, including a portion of the shallow waters of Pipes
Cove, the tidal creeks and marshes associated with Pipes Creek and Pipes Cove
Creek, the freshwater swamps of the Arshamomaque wetlands and the Moore's Drain
basin, open grasslands, and upland woods. Moore's Woods, which lies north of State
Route 25, is protected land owned by the Village of Greenport. The Arshamomaque
wetlands between Chapel Lane and Albertson Lane is under town or county ownership,
and is managed as protected open space lands. The habitat is bounded by Middle
Road on the north, Albertson Lane and Kerwin Boulevard on the west, Pipes Cove and
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Four
State Route 25 on the south, and the residential areas of the Village of Greenport to the
east. Water depths in the portion of Pipes Cove and associated creeks within the
habitat are less than three feet at mean low water. The habitat complex is bordered by
light and dense residential development, woodlands, and scattered commercial sites.
The Arshamomaque wetlands and Moore's Woods portions of this habitat both provide
habitat for swamp cottonwood (Populus heterophylla), a species designated as rare in
New York State by the New York Natural Heritage Program (NYSDOS 2005).
The New York State Environmental Research Mapper (2009) was referenced to
determine if records of rare or threatened plants or animals have been identified as
occurring on site. No rare or threatened plants or animals have been recorded on site
or within the vicinity of the site.
The parcel is improved with storage trailers, construction materials and heavy
equipment. The majority of the site is cleared and disturbed. Due to the level of
disturbance, the potential occurrence of rare or threatened plants or animals on site is
low. Conversely the occurrence of plant and animal species to the north, adjacent to
the site is high, however, due to the buffer established by the Planning Board and storm
water control on site expected impacts to plants and animals in the area is also
expected to be low to none.
Therefore, no significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation will
occur. Correspondingly, no substantial interference with the rnovement of any resident
or migratory fish or wildlife species nor impacts on a significant habitat area will occur.
Impact on Agricultural Land Resources
The parcel is not currently in agricultural production, therefore, no adverse impacts to
agricultural lands will occur.
Impact on Aesthetic Resources
The parcel is located north of State Route 25 (a New York State Scenic Byway).
Currently, the site is used as a contractor's yard. The proposed improvements will not
substantially adversely impact the current view shed and/or aesthetic resources.
Conversely, the proposed improvements will re-locate contractors equipment indoors.
No substantial adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to occur.
Impact on Historical and Archeological Resources
The New York Department of State GIS -Public Access Map was referenced for
occurrence ofarcheo-sensitive areas on site. The area is not included and identified as
an archeo-sensitive site.

Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The proposed action is located adjacent to Greenport Village parkland known as
Moore's Woods. Development within the area is not proposed. No significant impacts
to public open space or recreational areas will occur as a result of this action.
Impact on Critical Areas
The proposed action is not located within a New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation Critical Environmental Area.
Impact on Transportation
Access to the site is proposed via a single curb-cut fronting New York State Route 25, a
primary roadway. The action proposes four uses within a single building in the General
Business Zone: the first floor containing approximately 3,354 sq. ft. of retail space,
1,677 sq. ft. contractor's business office, 4,960 sq. ft. for general storage and a 1,188
sq. ft. second floor apartment -with an area of unfinished attic (total 8,502 sq. ft.).
The type of retail use is undefined in the application, therefore, the land use is not
classified within the ITE Trip Generation manual. To address the concerns of the
Planning Board regarding the intensity of internal traffic circulation and potential
impacts to the level of service of New York State Route 25 at this location, the applicant
has agreed to eliminate the convenience store use through the filing of a covenant on
the parcel. The contractor's office, storage area and apartment are much smaller in
square footage than the sampled sites in the ITE Trip Generation Report and,
therefore, projections for the uses cannot be made using the data. With the elimination
of the convenience store use on the parcel, a local trip generation study will not be
required.
Impact of Energy
No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.
Noise and Odor Impact
No substantial change in noise or odor is expected to occur.
Impact on Public Health
No creation of a hazard to human health is expected to occur. No substantial increase
in solid waste production, leaching or drainage problems is expected to occur if the
proposed action is implemented as planned.
SEAR Negative Declaration -Page Six
Impact on Growth Character of Community or Neighborhood
Proposed lighting will meet dark sky standards, be contained on-site and not trespass
onto adjacent parcels.
The proposed action is not in a significant material conflict with a community's current
plans or goals as officially approved or adopted.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to
occur should the project be implemented as planned.
