The actions were found CONSISTENT considering the proposals to contain noise and vehicles on site at appropriate locations. The proposal for an addition of a seasonal overflow parking area with 100 parking spaces is recommended as INCONSISTENT with the LWRP. The action does not meet or further Policy 1. (below). Policy 1. Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. The proposal to locate a 100 space seasonal overflow parking lot 490+' from the winery does not enhance community character or minimize adverse effects of development for the following reasons: 1. The overflow parking area is located within 20' from a residential lot (unimproved) and 70' from a residential lot improved with a single family residence. Noise and dust resulting from traffic entering and leaving the parking area is expected reducing the quality of life to surrounding residences. 2. The proposed site plan excludes the following safety elements in the parking area: a. There is no lighting proposed for the parking area and along pedestrian routes. b. Pedestrians (including children) would be routed through a vineyard with potential hazards (e.g. wires, posts) c. A plan (signage, bollards) has not been proposed that clearly delineates the pedestrian route from the vehicle routes. Parking areas should be clustered with existing development to maximize safety of such areas. It is recommended that the overflow parking area be relocated to the southeast corner of the parcel (against Cutchogue Power Co. LLC.) if such a use is deemed necessary. Appropriate buffers should be constructed between the property line and parking area. Further, the seasonal overflow parking should be designed to accommodate commercial buses, limousines and other large vehicles on-site rather than 1-6 private, passenger vehicles. Private, passenger vehicle parking should be located in close proximity to the retail operations to separate vineyard operations and the retail operations. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action. Cc: Brian Cummings, Planner
