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 below noted polices ant therefore CONSISTENT with the LWRP. The proposed 7,200 s. f. barn will be visible from County Route 48, a New York State Scenic Byway. The view shed to the south, over agricultural lands and open space represents one of the most scenic areas of the roadway. The LWRP supports the minimization of structures located within important view sheds stating "Suffolk County Route 48 is another heavily traveled arterial that parallels State Route 25. It offers a contrast to SR 25's winding ambiance, particularly between Mattituck and Southold, by offering wide open vistas of farm fields fringed by woodlands. " The Town of Southold is promoting the protection of the scenic components associated with SR 25 and CR 48 through a Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan (2001). Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. K. Protect visual quality associated with agricultural land, open space and natural resources. 2. Group or orient structures during site design to preserve open space and provide visual organization. A site inspection was performed on March 22, 2013. In discussions with the applicant, it was determined that the barn is proposed with the existing orientation and at the location to allow for: 1. Expansion of a proposed cheese making facility on site between the existing barn structures on Cox's Lane and the proposed barn. 2. For accessibility to livestock in the winter months. 3. Access to utilities and future location of alternative energy systems (solar) on the structure. The south facing roof is optimal for these types of systems. Further, the barn is located in a lower elevation on the property further mitigating the obstruction of the view shed. Based upon all of these findings the policy is furthered to the greatest extent practicable. The area is NOT included and identified as included within the archeo-sensitive area (MAPINFO GIS-Archeo- sensitive layer). Storm water controls (two drywells) were conditioned by the Land Preservation Committee memorandum dated. February 7, 2013, therefore, storm water control has been addressed. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
