Members Present: Councilman Bill Ruland, Frank Field, Town Engineer Jamie Richter, Jim Baker, Highway Superintendent Vincent Orlando, Planning Director Heather Lanza, Greenport Rep. Derry! Baumer, Margaret Brown and Tom Fox. Also Attending Mary Bess Phillips, Greenport Trustee. Minutes of September 14, 2015 A motion to approve the minutes was made by Margaret Brown, was seconded by Jamie Richter and was carried. Member Resignation Rona Smith submitted her resignation from the Commission on September 30, 2015. A replacement will be sought. EETC Update Heather provided updates on the meeting of October 21, 2015 and advised that the topics for discussion by EETC would be expanded. EETC's discussion on traffic control issues was supplemented by a handout covering the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Suffolk County Transit's new'Bus Time" app should be available in the spring of 2016. LIRR advised that there is currently insufficient equipment for any expanded East End service, although$37,000,000 had budgeted for that purpose. It was also emphasized that East End governments should focus on suggestions for that improved service. Schedules for the Shelter Island ferry and the LIRR should be harmonized. The Commission discussed the East End LIRR situation and Frank Field will draft recommendations in that regard for the Commission's review. Heather also suggested that a Transportation Alternatives Program covering Route 25 and Love Lane in Mattituck should be considered and that a federal grant may be available for that purpose. Ms. Phillips of Greenport suggested that the Commission and the Village should work together to encourage NYS to assist with improving the transit situation. An prime area of concern is the parking situation in Greenport during large events. Heather advised that she will provide commissioners with copies of the minutes of future EETC meetings. 1 Public Requests Four-Way Stop Siqn Request on Pike Street at Wickham Avenue- Mattituck Neb advised that Chief Flatley is opposed to the Mattituck-Cutchogue School District's request for the placement of such signage. However, although the crosswalk there has been restriped, Superintendent Orlando reported that SCWA will be installing a water main at that location in the coming months. Councilman Ruland suggested that Neb should be provided with a copy of MCSD's letter of request for the Commission's reply. Parking Issues—Boat Ramp at the Foot of Minnehaha Boulevard -Southold Neb's letter of September.14, 2015 responded to the Laughing Waters Association's petition from 33 residents calling for the installation of signage regulating parking at that location. The Commission has considered the matter and will recommend to the Town Board that"Parking by Permit" signage should be placed at that location, the zone for which will be determined by Town personnel as soon as possible. However, that installation also requires review and guidance by the Town Attorney, as well as a public hearing and a Town Board resolution. Speeding on Little Neck Road - Cutchoque Neb's letter of September 14, 2015 to the concerned resident advised that a petition from local residents should be submitted to the Commission for its further consideration of that issue. Request for Stop Sign on Pequash Avenue—Cutchoque Neb's letter of September 14, 2015 to the Fleet's Neck Property Owners Association advised that the Commission would recommend the installation of a stop sign on that roadway at the intersection of Northern Cross and Pequash Avenues. However, that installation also requires review and guidance by the Town Attorney, as well as a public hearing and a Town Board resolution. Bicycle Safety Town Wide There has been no response Neb's letter of September 14, 2015 to a Southold resident concerning the safety of bicyclists on Town roadways and the launch of a"Share the Road" campaign. Suffolk County Water Authority Hydrant Request—Town-Wide Neb's letter of September 14, 2015 to SCWA advised that its request for the painting of hydrant symbols on roadways at hydrant locations was deemed to be unwarranted. Supervisor&Town Board Requests Traffic Issues Associated with North Fork Early Learning Center- Franklinville Road - Laurel The Supervisor and Neb met with a representative of NFELC, who advised that the facility was willing to relocate parking to its rear lot. No response has yet been received to Neb's situation report about parking issues to the concerned local resident. NYSDOT's determination of property ownership at location is still outstanding. Request for"No U-Turn" Signage on Love Lane - Mattituck The Supervisor forwarded a local resident's letter of October 6, 2015, which requested placement of that signage. Neb observed that the problem of U-turns was an'enforcement issue and he will discuss the matter with Chief Flatley. Councilman Ruland suggested that foot patrols by traffic control personnel with warning fliers might alleviate the situation. 2 Planning Board Requests Town Comprehensive Plan The issuance of the Transportation & Infrastructure Chapter has been delayed until 2016. See also further discussion below in New Business. Proposed Site Plan—The Heritage at Cutchogue Planner Brian Cumming's memo of October 2, 2015 referred Commission members to the site plan for that location, which was originally proposed in 2006. He also provided directions to access the complete plan on line. Construction was proposed in phases with an estimated start in 2017. Heather will research the Commission's previous comments on this matter, which was tabled for the next meeting. Signage & Public Parking Designations and Truck Traffic Restriction—Love Lane- Mattituck The Commission had previously reached a consensus on the appropriate signage to be installed on that roadway. Current Transportation Issues Southold/Greenport Bus Shelters SCDPW's authorization to proceed is still outstanding. Prosect Bus Shelters Student members of PBS submitted an email to the Suffolk Times on September 7, 2015 observing that the matter has been outstanding for three years without apparent substantive progress. Orientation/ Interpretive Signage Project—RBA Phase II — Prosect Extension in Process No payments have been received to date from NYSDOT. Old Business Truck Traffic Restriction—Love Lane - Mattituck Councilman Ruland advised that three"5-Ton Limit"warning signs have been received. New Business Proposal for an Enhanced Town Comprehensive Plan A prolonged discussion among members focused on areas for possible inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. Heather reported on concerns by New Suffolk residents about parking in the hamlet as well as parking enforcement at the boat ramp. Councilman Ruland suggested that the 2016 Plan should include town-wide parking and traffic control issues as determined by the Commission. Neb observed that areas to be identified should include those that arise seasonally and that a rotational schedule for enforcement should be established. The Town and the Village should jointly continue to focus on traffic and parking issues. 3 Next Meeting The next meeting will take place on November 23, 2015 at 10:00 AM in the conference room at Town Hall.

Regional Director October 8, 2015 Ed and Carol Baumann 325 Wood Lane Peconic, NY 11958 Safety Concerns Route 25 at New Suffolk Avenue Mattituck Our Case No. 149184TC Tag No. 14-0191 Dear Ed and Carol Baumann: We have completed an investigation regarding your safety concerns on Route 25 at New Suffolk Avenue in Mattituck, specifically, the safety of blind pedestrians in the area. Our investigation included an accident analysis and field observations of the area. Our accident analysis reviewed the most current three years of data available from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Our analysis did not show a pattern of accidents that would be correctable by the installation, removal or modification of any existing traffic controls devices. Our field observations showed all existing traffic control devices to be located and functioning properly. However, to increase motorists' awareness of the crosswalk located on Route 25 just west of New Suffolk Avenue, which, on occasion, may be used by a blind pedestrian, we will increase the size of the "State Law-Yield To The Blind" signs located on eastbound and westbound Route 25 at the approach to the crosswalk. For your information, Article 27, Section 1153 (a) states that, "Every driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection or crosswalk shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing or attempting to cross the roadway when such pedestrian is accompanied by a guide dog or using a cane which is metallic or white in color or white with a red tip." If you feel that motorists are in violation of this law, a request for more enforcement should be made with the Town of Southold Police Department. 50 Wolf Road,Albany,NY 12232 I www dot.ny got/ Ed and Carol Baumann October 8, 2015 Page 2 Thank you for your interest in this traffic safety matter.

I do not think it is advisable to go beyond this stage at the present time and overwhelm the agenda. On another item - you have to be sworn in by the Town Clerk - have they reached out to you? In the meantime, a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

We would like to keep the discussion going on the congestion and traffic issues facing Greenport in regard to the North Ferry Company and Cross Sound Ferry. Mayor Hubbard has requested that we get in touch with management at the North Ferry Company as a start for us and invite them to a future meeting for discussion. Let me know what your thoughts are and whether or not you thinkthat this topic could be included in the upcoming meeting.

I respectfully submit the following requests: • Reduction of Speed Limit on Skunk Lane between Rt. 25 (Main Road)and Leslie Road from 40 MPH to 30 MPH. • Addition of signage for 30 MPH on Skunk Lane between Leslie Road and Nassau Point Road. Skunk Lane runs roughly North/South from Route 25 (Main Road)in Cutchogue to the Nassau Point peninsula. It is intersected by Eugene's Road on the west side,which connects it to Rt. 25, and Leslie Road on the east side. South of Leslie Road, Skunk Lane is the sole route of ingress/egress to/from the Nassau Point community. In addition to motor vehicles,the roadway is used by bicyclists,joggers,pleasure walkers, dog walkers and occasional scooters and skateboarders. Motor vehicles exceeding a speed limit of 30 MPH pose a safety hazard to all others who use the roadway. The posted speed limit on the north end of Skunk Lane,between Rt. 25 Main Road and the intersection of Leslie Road is 40 MPH. South of Leslie Road, the speed limit is 30 MPH. An assessment of all the other speed limit signs in the vicinity shows that the only other road that has a 40 MPH speed limit is Rt. 25. All other roadways emanating from Rt. 25 on the eastern edge of Cutchogue and the western edge of Peconic have posted speed limits less than 40 MPH (please refer to the map of speed limit signs attached to this letter). Rt. 25 has painted lines on the outer edges of the roadway with wide shoulders that are deep enough for a car to park off the road, and the northern side(westbound)has a sidewalk. In contrast, Skunk Lane has no shoulders,no sidewalk,and in many places there are embankments or heavy foliage that prevents a walker from safely moving off the roadway for passing motor vehicles. The nature of the northern portion of Skunk Lane is no different than the southern portion of Skunk Lane. Please note that Eugene's Road,which connects Rt. 25 to Skunk Lane on a diagonal from the west, and meets Skunk Lane just north of Leslie Road,has a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. Eugene's Road is approximately 0.7 miles long, and it has 13 driveways the entire length. In contrast,the northern portion of Skunk Lane (north of Leslie Road)is slightly shorter, and it has 35 driveways. Town of Southold,Transportation Commission October 26,2015 Page Two With respect to speed limit signage for the 30 MPH portion of Skunk Lane,the signage appears inadequate. Just south of Leslie Road on the northbound lane(in front of 3275 Skunk Lane) is a 40 MPH sign. However,there is no corresponding 30 MPH sign for the southbound lane at that point. There is no 30 MPH sign for approximately 0.3 miles further south, until just before the intersection of Lupen Drive (please refer to attached map). Indeed, in August (2015),in response to my inquiry to the Southold Police Precinct,a temporary flashing 30 MPH speed limit sign was parked on the southbound side in front of 3300 Skunk Lane(a short distance south of Leslie Road). The positive effect on reducing traffic speed was immediate, and noted by several neighbors. This demonstrates that the permanent installation of a 30 MPH sign on Skunk Lane just south of the Leslie Road intersection for the southbound traffic would be effective to reduce traffic speed. There ale two more 30 MPH speed limit signs on the southbound side of Skunk Lane between the existing sign and the junction of Nassau Point Road. However,there are no speed limit signs on the northbound lane at all,between Nassau Point Road and the 40 MPH speed limit sign just south of Leslie Road. At the intersection of Vanston Road and Nassau Point Road, which merge to become Skunk Lane,there is no speed limit sign. There is a 30 MPH sign on the northbound lane of Nassau Point Road,just south of the Vanston intersection,but that sign isn't within sight of motorists merging from Vanston (please refer to attached map). The net result is that for many motorists traveling north on Skunk Lane,there are no speed limit signs. This results in motorists exceeding the 30 MPH speed limit,and may result in hampering police enforcement due to inadequate signage. In order to address this situation,either the sign on Nassau Point Road should be moved and placed just north of the Vanston intersection,or an additional 30 MPH sign should be added at that point. In addition, 30 MPH speed limit signs should be placed on the northbound side of Skunk Lane,at the points across from the existing signage for the southbound lane. Please see the attached Petition signed by other Skunk Lane residents in support of my requests to reduce the speed limit to 30 MPH on the northern portion and to add 30 MPH signage to the southern portion of Skunk Lane.

This has not been on our agenda since there was no official request for the Commission to review the situation. Hence, no recommendation to the Town Board. I would recommend the Fund send an official letter to the Supervisor and Town Board requesting a review of the listed problems being faced there if that has not been done so far. Neb On Fri, Nov 06, 2015 at 11:35 AM, Thomas Wickham wrote: Hi Neb, As you may know, I'm on the Board of the New Suffolk Waterfront Fund, and the Fund is getting anxious about our property line posts getting broken off by people parking diagonally on the East side of First St. Diagonal parking there also seems to take over a significant part of the traffic lane. I gather that there is general agreement in Town gov't that parking there should be parallel, not diagonal, but that the Town Bd has not yet taken up the matter, noticed a public hearing and voted on it. Has the Transportation Comm taken up this question, and if so has it made a recommendation to the Town Bd about it?

Box 178 Peconic Lane Peconic,New York 11958 Attention Vincent Orlando, Complaint/Suggestion Hello, for all too many years I have been noticing way too many customers parking "front in"to my curb/sidewalk. It of course is a dangerous hazard to themselves and others. The rear of the wrongly parked vehicles is sometimes blocking half of the southbound lane. My suggestion is for the town to paint parking spaces for two vehicles parallel to my sidewalk. "No Parking"or"X's"across the entrance and exit would be beneficial also. There are many trucks and truck-trailers that do not pay attention to blocking my driveway. It is certainly a fire and safety hazard.

PO Box 1179 Southold,New York 11971 October 6,2015 Dear Supervisor Russell, I have been a resident of Mattituck for over forty years and the traffic situation has become more difficult with each passing year.I believe there is one problem that • you could lead the way in solving and many of the residents would applaud the change. There is a definite need for;a law and signage prohibiting U TURNS on Love Lane. I have witnessed traffic coming to a halt and pedestrians stopping halfway across their path to cross due to U Turns being made on Love Lane.It actually is a three point turn as the street is so narrow taking even more time to complete. I have witnessed a tractor trailer that was behind an automobile stopped at the stop sign heading south at the intersection of Love Lane and Pike Street. The car ahead of the tractor had to wait as a car was in the intersection making a U Turn to head south. The danger was that the body of the trailer extended across the Long Island Rail Road tracks and beyond. There were two cars behind the truck blocking him if he had to back up and if the crossing gates were • 1;- • to become activated it could have a most serious incident. Please consider enacting a no U Turn on Love Lane.Thank you. • ` ' .7--H-77--:--7.77:7, - - r''t,tea• , L - - ,,- _ ✓', -, .,"-''.„,:',.,:,',-.1.'',,,,„;," tlt,'• _ PagewP1`of 1 y Print Entry , - - , ' _ ,.. - ` - `_, . r_ << Increase Font' ,, 1. ... .

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES June 16, 2015 Mr. Vincent Orlando Superintendent of Highways Town of Southold 275 Peconic Lane PO Box 178 Peconic, NY 11958 Dear Mr. Orlando: The Mattituck Board of Education urges you to support the placement of a four-way stop sign at the corners of Wickham Avenue and Pike Street in Mattituck. This intersection has been the site of a recent four-car accident that resulted in an overturned vehicle. Several months earlier, a student was struck by a vehicle while entering the intersection. • This intersection has a diagonal crosswalk making it difficult for the drivers to see a pedestrian walking in the cro's'swalk as they are approaching from behind the driver's field of vision. • This is not a common style of crosswalk making it difficult for drivers to recognize that it is a crosswalk. • Wickham Avenue is a highly traveled road as it provides a short transverse between Rt. 25 and Rt. 48 • The speed limit is 35 miles per hour but cars frequently exceed the speed limit making it difficult for cars on Pike Street to turn onto Wickham Road. • This crosswalk is frequently used by Mattituck students as they walk to and from school. • A crossing guard is there during peak school hours but students continue to frequent the crosswalk during non-peak school hours. Speeding cars coupled with a challenging crosswalk make this a difficult intersection for both pedestrians and cars. A four way stop sign and removal of the diagonal crosswalk will help to prevent future accidents and provide for the safety of our school children. We urge you to approve a four way stop sign at the corner of Pike Street and Wickham Avenue. Board of Ed on Mattituck-Cutchogue UFSD 385 Depot Lane.

The Commission+nould still like to reserve the light to call for an additional traffic study if these concerns arc not adequately addressed Ce: Supervisor Scott A. Rassell Town Board :; _ _ levels at the subject property boundaries are 0.0,indicating that all lights will be screened,as necessary,to ensure there will be no spillover of light onto neighboring properties. All pole-mounted lighting fixtures would not exceed 14 feet in height,as required by the Town Code. However,the Town Code does allow for recreational lighting to exceed the 14-foot maximum height,but requires that such light be reasonably screened from view and compatible with the existing or potential uses of neighboring properties and that no outdoor recreational facility be illuminated after 11:00 p.m. The proposed Lighting Plan,provided in Appendix A,depicts these conditions and the development would adhere to the timing restrictions. The proposed project includes open space,which will be set aside throughout the interior of the subject property as well as around the perimeter. Open space would include landscaped areas and nature trails. As the proposed project is a private, gated community,open space would only be accessible to the residents and their guests. • 1.4 Construction and Operation 1.4.1 Construction~ The construction phase is anticipated to progress in a manner typical for a project of the size and type proposed;no unique or unusual construction difficulties are anticipated. The proposed project is anticipated to be built in four phases,with approximately 30 to 31 units built per phase and with each phase taking about 1-to- 11/z years. The clubhouse and other site amenities are anticipated to be constructed during the first phase. Prior to construction commencement,the applicant would prepare a SWPPP for approval by the Town and in accordance with the NYSDEC State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(SPDES)Program,so as to obtain coverage under General Permit GP 0-15-002,for the discharge of stormwater during construction activities. See Section 2.2.2 of this document for additional information regarding the SWPPP. In addition,upon operation,the proposed project would also require a SPDES permit for discharge of sewage effluent to groundwater. Phase 1 of the project construction would begin by implementing ail erosion and sediment control measures as outlined in the SWPPP. Additionally,all clearing, grubbing and earthwork related to soil management activities would be completed prior to construction of any infrastructure. This includes construction of the • necessary berms to provide.screening of construction activities from neighboring properties. 18 1.0 Description of the Proposed Action o Following earthwork activities,the proposed internal road base and all drainage, water,electric and gas subsurface utilities,would be constructed,followed by the model units(one each for units A-1,A-2,B-1 and B-2)and an additional 30 housing units. Generally,construction of the units would begin at the southern part of the , property and move northward. All pavement, drainage,utility connections and landscaping related to the completed units would be included in this phase.Phase 1 would also include construction of the clubhouse and all related recreational - amenities,i.e.the pool,tennis courts and infrastructure. Phases 2 and 3 would each include construction of an additional 31 units,along with the related pavement,drainage,utility connections and landscaping. Phase 4 would include build-out of the remaining 31 units and all related infrastructure. Each phase would be constructed just north of the previously-constructed units. Construction access to the site will be from the main entrance off Schoolhouse Lane. All construction staging,contractor parking,and material staging will take place on site in accordance with the approved SWPPP. The project's General Contractor will be required to maintain all erosion and sediment control measures throughout construction until work is complete and final stabilization is achieved. Impacts during the construction phase are commonly expected and are identified and discussed throughout this DEIS as appropriate.As detailed below,these impacts are short-term in nature,and would be variable throughout the construction period. Construction activities,consistent with the Town Code,would not occur before 7 a.m.or after 7 p.m.on weekdays and Saturdays. It is not expected that construction , would occur on Sundays. 1.4.2 Operation - A Homeowners'Association(HOA)will be established for The Heritage at Cutchogue. This entity will be responsible for the long-term maintenance of the - commonly-owned grounds,roadway and drainage systems,community facility- buildings,pool,and other amenities. Approximately two full-time employees would be required to staff the reception booth. The HOA would outsource maintenance, landscaping,and garbage hauling(which would likely involve weekly attention by approximately 10-15 workers from spring-through fall and approximately five workers during winter months for snow and garbage removal). The Heritage at Cutchogue would be operated under an HOA agreement approved and filed in accordance,with the laws of New York State. Annual fees charged'to the residents, as required under the HOA agreement,would fund the operation. Facilities would be open year-round(with the exception of the outdoor pool,which is expected to be open from Memorial Day to Labor Day)to residents of the development and their guests. The community building,would be available for residents'meetings and 19 1.0 Description of the Proposed Action - hb small gatherings. There would be limited need for large trucks to enter the site(with the exception of activities like moving,furniture delivery,etc.). Garbage collection vehicles and box delivery trucks(Federal Express or similar)would be expected on a weekly basis similar to surrounding residential areas. 1.5 Permits and Approvals Required The following permits would be obtained as part of the construction and operation of the proposed project: Table 3- Required Permits and Approvals . .Government Entity/Agency Approval Required‘ Town of Southold Planning Board Site Plan Approval;waiver of§280-137E and F of the Town Code;waiver of fees;approval of subdivision or unit designation map Town of Southold Building Department Building Permit Suffolk County Department of Health Services Water Supply and Sanitary Discharge Approvals Suffolk County Water Authority Water Connection New York State Attorney General Approval of HOA and Offering Plan New York State Department of Environmental State Pollution Discharge Elimination System Conservation Permits for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity and Discharge of Wastes to Groundwater 20 1.0 Description of the Proposed Action 3 • 0 Human Environmental Resources 3.1 Transportation A Traffic Impact Analysis Report(traffic study)has been prepared to evaluate the potential traffic impacts associated with the proposed project. The study methodology,roadway intersections and road segments examined,the accident history and the existing traffic conditions are discussed herein. Potential traffic impacts due to the proposed project,as well as the proposed and potential mitigation measures are summarized in Sections 3.1.2. The traffic study,including the methodology employed in developing the study,is included in its entirety in Appendix G. 3.1.1 Existing Conditions Methodology The following describes the methodology used in this traffic study: > The proposed site plan and related documents were reviewed to obtain an understanding of the project scope and layout. > A review was made of the adjacent roadway system and the key intersections that might be significantly impacted by the proposed project were identified. > Field inventories were made to observe the number and direction of travel lanes at the key intersections, along with signal timing,phasing and cycle lengths. > Accident data for the most recent three year period for the study area was reviewed,tabulated and summarized. > Turning movement counts were collected at the key intersections using Miovision cameras during weekday a.m. and p.m.peak periods and the weekend midday peak period. All counts were performed during the peak autumn tourism season to provide conservative results. 89 3.1 Transportation ,,. „ 1ihb > The existing traffic volumes at the key intersections were adjusted to the future No-Build year(assumed to be 2020). > Any other significant planned developments in the vicinity of the project were identified and the traffic associated with those developments was included in the No-Build analysis. > The traffic generated by the proposed 124 condominiums was projected based on recognized traffic engineering standards. > The site-generated volumes were distributed along the adjacent roadway network and were added to the No-Build volumes to produce the proposed Build volumes. > Capacity analyses were performed for the key intersections for the Existing,No- Build and future Build conditions and the site driveway along Schoolhouse Lane for the future Build condition. A discussion of the software used to perform the capacity analysis is included below. > The results of the analyses for the Existing,No-Build,and Build conditions were compared to assess any significant traffic impacts due to the proposed project. > The site access point was evaluated. > The adequacy of the proposed parking was evaluated and the site layout was reviewed. > The need for traffic mitigation measures was evaluated. Software The capacity analyses were done using the traffic analysis software Synchro,version 8, a computer program developed by Trafficware Ltd.Synchro is a complete software package for modeling and optimizing traffic signal timing. Synchro adheres to and implements the guidelines and methods set forth in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and the newly released 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. This analysis methodology was used to evaluate the ability of an intersection or roadway to efficiently handle the number of vehicles using the facility. Synchro was used to model and analyze the Existing,No-Build and Build conditions at the key intersections. Roadways and Intersections Conditions The principal roadways and intersections in the project area are described below. The descriptions of the roadways and key intersections include the geometric conditions and traffic control characteristics. Roadways Main Road, designated NY 25,is a major east-west arterial under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Transportation(NYSDOT).It extends east from Queens to Orient Point.Within the study area,NY 25 traverses approximately 1,050 feet south of the subject property and provides one travel lane in each direction with 90 3.1 Transportation 1ihb additional turn lanes at select intersections.According to the 2013 NYSDOT forecast, the Average Annual Daily Traffic(AADT)within the study area along Main Road is approximately 14,000 vehicles per day. The posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour (mph)and on-street parking is permitted. County Road 48(CR 48)is an east-west arterial under the jurisdiction of the Suffolk County Department of Public Works(SCDPW),and is located approximately one- half mile north of the subject property. It runs east from Sound Avenue in Mattituck to NY 25 in Greenport. Within the study area,CR 48 provides two travel lanes in each direction with additional turn lanes;the posted speed limit is 55 mph and no on-street parking is permitted. According to the 2013NYSDOT forecast,the AADT on this segment of CR 48 is approximately 15,750 vehicles per day. Depot Lane is a north-south Town road that runs south from Oregon Road to NY 25, approximately 695 feet from the subject property. The posted speed limit is 40 mph. Depot Lane provides one travel lane in each direction and there are no on-street parking restrictions posted. According to the 2013 NYSDOT forecast, the AADT on • Depot Road is approximately 2,250 vehicles per day. Schoolhouse Lane is an east-west Town road that runs west from Depot Road to Griffing Street,where the entrance to the subject property is located. Schoolhouse Lane provides one travel lane in each direction and the posted speed limit is 35 mph. No AADT is available for this roadway. North Street is a short north-south Town road that runs south from Schoolhouse Lane,approximately 405 feet from the subject property,to NY 25. North Street provides one travel lane in each direction and the posted speed limit is 35 mph. No AADT is available for this roadway. Griffing Street is a short north-south Town road that runs south from Schoolhouse Lane,where the entrance to the subject property is located,to NY 25. Griffing Street provides one travel lane in each direction and there is no posted speed limit on this roadway. No AADT is available for this roadway. New Suffolk Road is a north-south local collector roadway under jurisdiction of the Town that runs south from NY 25,approximately 1,050 feet from the subject property, to the north shore of Peconic Bay. It provides one travel lane in each direction and the posted speed is 30 mph. No AADT is available for this roadway. Case's Lane is a north-south local roadway that runs south from NY 25, approximately 1,250 feet from the subject property, to Cedar Road.It provides one travel lane in each direction and there is no posted speed limit on this roadway.No AADT is available for this roadway. 91 3.1 Transportation Study Area Intersections To determine the potential traffic impacts of the proposed project,one signalized intersection and seven i nsignalized intersections were analyzed under Existing,No- Build,and Build conditions.The existing traffic volumes are discussed herein.The No-Build condition represents the future traffic conditions that can be expected to occur,even if the proposed project is not constructed,and the Build condition represents the traffic conditions that would result from traffic generated by the proposed project.These two conditions are discussed in Section 3.1.2,below.The intersections differ slightly from those required by the Final Scope,as site access on Spur Road has been eliminated.Specifically,the intersections at NY 25 and Crown Land Lane and NY 25 and Highland Road have been eliminated,while the following intersections were added: > NY 25 and New Suffolk Road(Signalized) > NY 25 and Case's Lane(Unsignalized) > Site Access and Schoolhouse Lane&Griffing Street(Unsignalized) (Build only) In addition to the three aforementioned intersections that were added to the analysis, the other intersections that were analyzed are listed below and all are described in detail and depicted in Appendix G (see also Figure 7,below). > CR 48 and Depot Lane(Signalized) > Schoolhouse Lane and Depot Lane(Unsignalized) > NY 25 and Depot Lane(Unsignalized) > NY 25 and North Street(Unsignalized) > NY 25 and Griffing Street(Unsignalized) Although the NY 25 and Highland Road intersection was identified for study in the scope for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement(DEIS)for a prior development proposal for the subject property that included a street connection(Spur Road) between the proposed development and Highland Road,no such connection is proposed under the currently-proposed project,and the proposed development will not, therefore,have any direct impact on Highland Road traffic. In fact,Paragraph 15 on Page 8 of the Final Scope (Appendix B)requires traffic analysis of Highland and Main Road(NYS Route 25)only"[i]f Spur Road is opened."Accordingly,this study does not evaluate the NY 25/Highland Road intersection. The intersection of NY 25 and New Suffolk Road and NY 25 and Case's Lane were added to the study to assess the potential impacts to these roadways as they were located in close proximity to the subject project. 92 3.1 Transportation oc • r� I '• o • • •• 0 J;? • • • • ® .0,4•„. , v.

Existing Traffic Volume Data At the study intersections,turning movement counts were collected using Miovision cameras during the a.m.and p.m. peak periods on Thursday,October 9,2014 from 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m.to 6:00 p.m.and on Sunday October 12,2014 during the weekend peak period from 10:00 a.m.to 2:00 p.m.These days and times reflect the heaviest traffic flows coinciding with commuter and shopping/tourism activities,and are anticipated to be the peak hours for the proposed use.Typically, weekend traffic counts are performed on a Saturday;however,the counts for this study were performed on the Sunday of Columbus Day Weekend (due to more favorable weather conditions)during the peak tourism season,in an effort to collect the most conservative data.Given the holiday weekend,it was anticipated that the Saturday and Sunday counts would have similarly high tourism volumes. The existing weekday a.m.,p.m.and weekend volumes are shown in Figures 8 9 and 10, below. Existing driveways opposite several of the study intersections were not counted as the existing volumes were negligible during the peak study hours.The detailed turning movement count data can be found in Attachment A of the traffic study(see Appendix G of this DEIS). Seasonal adjustment factors were not utilized in this study,as the chosen dates for the turning movement counts were anticipated to provide the most conservative data for both weekday traffic,with school in session,and weekend traffic,during the busy Columbus Day holiday weekend. 94 3.1 Transportation Level of Service and Delay Criteria The evaluation criteria used to analyze area intersections in the traffic study were based on the 2000&2010 Highway Capacity Manual(HCM). For unsignalized yield- controlled intersections,the 2000 HCM criteria were adhered to and,for all other intersections, the 2010 HCM criteria were adhered to. The term'level of service' (LOS)is used to denote the different operating conditions that occur at an intersection under various traffic volume loads.It is a qualitative measure that considers a number of factors including roadway geometry,speed,travel delay and freedom to maneuver.LOS provides an index to the operational qualities of a roadway segment or an intersection.LOS designations range from A to F,with LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F representing the worst operating conditions. In addition to LOS,vehicle delay time(expressed in seconds per vehicle)is typically used to quantify the traffic operations at intersections.For example,a delay of 15 seconds for a particular vehicular movement or approach indicates that vehicles on the movement or approach will experience an average additional travel time of 15 seconds.It should be noted that delay time has a range of values for a given LOS letter designation.Therefore,when evaluating intersection capacity results,in addition to the LOS,vehicle delay time should also be considered. The LOS designations,which are based on delay,are reported differently for 1 signalized and unsignalized intersections.For signalized intersections,the analysis considers the operation of all traffic entering the intersection and the LOS designation is for overall conditions at the intersection.For unsignalized intersections,however,the analysis assumes that traffic on the road is not affected by traffic on the side streets.Thus,the LOS designation is for the critical movement exiting the side street,which is generally the left turn out of the side street or side driveway. The LOS definitions for both the signalized and unsignalized intersections can be found in Attachment C of the traffic study (see Attachment C of Appendix G of this DEIS). While the results of the existing conditions capacity analysis are included in Tables 12 through 17 in Section 3.1.2,below,in order to allow for a comparison with the No- Build and Build conditions,the results of the existing conditions LOS analyses are summarized herein.

NYSDOT accident data is generally considered to be the most comprehensive,and is a compilation of both local and state police records.Accident Verbal Description Reports(VDRs)for the period March 1,2011 through February 28,2014 were obtained for the following roadway segments: > Segment of NY 25—From Case's Lane to Depot Lane,including the two end intersections and all intersections in between. > Segment of Depot Lane—From NY 25 to CR 48,including the two end intersections and all intersections in between Tables 9 and 10 below provide a summary of the most recent accident data for these two segments,both intersection and non-intersection,respectively.A detailed accident analysis is included in the traffic study text and the Accident VDRs are included in Attachment B of the traffic study(see Appendix G of this DEIS). A discussion of the specific accident history at key locations follows. Key Intersections: At NY 25 and Depot Lane,during the three-year study period a total of 21 accidents were reported to have occurred.There were no fatalities,nine accidents resulted in personal injury,nine accidents resulted in property damage only, and three accidents were non-reportable.The accident types with the highest incident rates were right angle collisions (seven accidents—33 percent), and left turn collisions (five accidents —24 percent).Also of note at this location,there were three sideswipe collisions and three pedestrian collisions. At CR 48 and Depot Lane,a total of 14 accidents were reported to have occurred. There were no fatalities,six accidents resulted in personal injury,six accidents resulted in property damage only,and two accidents were non-reportable.The accident types with the highest incident rates were right angle collisions (six accidents—43 percent)and left turn collisions(two accidents—14 percent).No other accident type exceeded 10 percent of the total. The accident data for CR 48 and Depot Lane,as tabulated in this report, occurred when the intersection was unsignalized. As of October 2015,the intersection is currently controlled by a traffic signal. As such,future accident patterns at this location may not be accurately represented by the data provided. AtNY25 and New Suffolk Road,a total of 11 accidents were reported to have occurred.There were no fatalities, two accidents resulted in personal injury,four accidents resulted in property damage only,and five accidents were non-reportable. 100 3.1 Transportation • 1ihb The accident types with the highest incident rates were rear end collisions and parked vehicle collisions(four accidents each—36 percent) and overtaking collisions (two accidents—18 percent). At NY25 and Griffing Street,a total of eight accidents were reported to have occurred.There were no fatalities and no personal injury accidents.Six accidents resulted in property damage only,and two accidents were non-reportable.The accident types with the highest incident rates were left turn collisions (four accidents —50 percent)and rear end and right angle collisions(two accidents each—25 percent). Key Roadway Segments: On the segment of NY25 between North Street and Depot Lane,a total of 18 accidents were reported to have occurred.There were no fatalities,three accidents resulted in personal injury,12 accidents resulted in property damage only,and three accidents were non-reportable.The accident types with the highest incident rates were rear end collisions and parked vehicle collisions(four accidents each—22 percent)and right angle collisions(three accidents—17 percent). On the segment of NY 25 between Case's Lane and Griffing Street,a total of six accidents were reported to have occurred.There was one fatality,four accidents resulted in personal injury,zero accidents resulted in property damage only,and one accident was non-reportable.The accident types with the highest incident rates were rear end collisions (three accidents—50 percent)and fixed object collisions(two accidents—33 percent). One fatal accident was recorded on this segment during the study period: > Assigned the case number 34810689,the fatal accident occurred on June 11,2013 at 5:00 PM when a car travelling west at the mid-block crosswalk in that vicinity collided with a pedestrian in the crosswalk.The Verbal Description Report records the weather conditions as rainy,surface conditions as wet,and light condition as daylight.Apparent factors for the cause were given as passing or lane usage improper and failure to yield right-of-way.The pre-accident action of the vehicle is stated as overtaking. 101 3.1 Transportation 0 Table 9 • Accident Data Tabulation -Data from NYSDOT Accident Location Information System (ALIS) Accidents from March 1, 2011 to February 28, 2014 Accident Severity Accident Type a) v 0) m N o 0 3 f9 C U Ti O Intersection �+ as c Y co 3 j - Q- f_`6 N N N U Y < Ws = c a L1J CO Q I- H O cn w ›, > Y H w c T N 'C N U - U D L.L.. c - o Q' N N t N O) N N c0 f6 ci.

In addition,proposed site access and off-street parking is evaluated. The salient portions of the traffic study are summarized below. Future Traffic.Conditions The analysis of future conditions,with and without the proposed project("Build" and"No-Build" conditions,respectively),was performed to evaluate the effect of the proposed project on future traffic conditions in the study area.Background traffic volumes in the study area were projected to the year 2020,reflecting the year when the proposed project is expected to be completed and operational 36 The No-Build condition represents the future traffic conditions that can be expected to occur,even if the proposed project is not constructed.The No-Build condition serves as a comparison to the Build condition,which represents expected future traffic conditions resulting from both project and non-project generated traffic. No Build Condition To account for increases in general population and background growth not related to the proposed project,an annual growth factor was applied to the existing traffic volumes.Based on the NYSDOT Long Island Transportation Plan(LITP),the growth rate anticipated for the Town,including the hamlet of Cutchogue,is 1.8 percent per year for a total of 10.8 percent(1.8 percent x six years). After applying the growth factor,the resulting 2020 No-Build traffic volumes for the weekday a.m.peak, weekday p.m.peak,and weekend midday peak periods are shown in Figures 10-1, 10-2, and 10-3,respectively,of this DEIS. V 3e To be conservative,a worst case of six years(1 5 years per phase X 4 phases)was assumed for the Build year for the traffic analysis 104 3.1 Transportation Under the No-Build condition,the study intersections would operate under the following conditions: Signalized Intersections > NY 25 and New Suffolk Road-would operate at an overall LOS A for the a.m.,p.m. and weekend peak hours. > CR 48 and Depot Lane-would operate at overall LOS A for the a.m.,p.m. and weekend peak hours.

The Town Planning Department did not identify any other planned developments in the vicinity of the subject property that might have the potential to influence traffic conditions in the study area.However,a proposed four-lot subdivision(Baxter Subdivision)is pending,but is not expected to have significant impacts on traffic conditions in the study area. The Town of Southold Highway Department did not identify any planned roadway improvement projects in the area that would affect existing intersection traffic controls or geometry. 108 3.1 Transportation The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was reviewed and did not identify any planned roadway projects in the area that would affect existing intersection traffic controls or geometry. Furthermore, the Town's website was accessed on October 21, 2015 (http://24.38.28.228:200/WeblinkBrowse.aspx) and a review of the available materials indicated that a four-lot minor subdivision application for SCTM#102-5-9.4(the Baxter property on the east side of Griffing Street)was"expired". Build Condition Project-Generated Traffic Volumes To estimate the project-generated traffic for the proposed development,a review was undertaken of available trip generation data sources,including the reference published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE), Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition.This widely utilized reference source contains trip generation rates for various land uses,including residential developments. The ITE trip generation for the proposed condominiums based on the number of units was calculated in order to determine the projected traffic generated from the proposed development.To be conservative, the study utilizes a standard Condominium/Townhouse trip generation rate.A Senior Housing trip generation rate,also appropriate for this development,would result in nearly 50 percent less traffic during the peak hours. Trip generation data for comparable Long Island senior housing project's (The Bristal at North Hills)data was consulted and found to have maximum trip rates per unit of 0.34 for the a.m.weekday peak hour, 0.45 for the p.m.weekday peak hour, and 0.30 for the weekend midday peak hour,respectively.These rates are significantly lower than the rates utilized for this study based on the ITE trip generation for land use code#230—Condominium/Townhouse,as demonstrated in Table 11 below(i.e.,0.49,0.58 and 0.63,respectively).As such,the more conservative and"worst-case"scenario rates for the non-age restricted Condominium/Townhouse were used. 109 3.1 Transportation , 4 Table 11 Trip Generation qi5� ;:s:` __ "`�''7.':':ft, R��•:1'S �i•: :a.r."ns®'f' i"3�.v'; Com onent;'=`'ry i ' Den§' .` AM-Peak':_;_ -'r ;_=,M,._P.,M`Peak 7t•__ „ Satarda Midas Pea c Trip Generation Rate: Trip Generation Rate: Trip Generation Rate: Ln(T)=0.80Ln(X)+0.26 Ln(T)=0.82Ln(X)+0.32 T=0.29X+42.63 RESIDENTIAL Entering Exiting Entering Exiting Entering Exiting ITE#230 124 Units 17% 83% 67% 33% 54% 46% Condominium/Townhouse (Peak Hour of Generator) 10 51 48 24 43 36 Total= 61 Total= 72 Total= 79 As shown in Table 11,the 124 condominiums are projected to generate 61 trips during the a.m.peak hour,72 trips during the p.m.peak hour and 79 trips during the Saturday midday hour.Although traffic counts were performed on a Sunday of Columbus Day weekend,Saturday trip generation calculations were applied to be conservative and are referred to in the traffic study as weekend trips. Trip Distribution and Assignment The trips originating from and to the subject property were assigned to the adjacent roadways based on characteristics of the roadway network,the location of the proposed site access point,existing travel patterns,and likely destination points. The trip distribution percentages shown in Figure 9 in the traffic study(Appendix G) were then applied to the site-generated traffic volumes and assigned to the local roadway network.The resulting project-generated traffic volumes for the a.m.,p.m., and weekend midday peak hours are presented in Figures 10-4,10-5,and 10-6, respectively,of this DEIS. To determine the future Build condition traffic volumes,the project-generated trips were added to the No-Build condition traffic volumes at the key intersections.To be conservative,the Saturday project-generated trips are applied to the Sunday turning movement count data.The resulting Build traffic volumes for the a.m.,p.m.and weekend peak hours are shown in Figures 11,12 and 13 respectively,below. 110 3.1 Transportation `agsvhb Site Access The site access intersection with Griffing Street and Schoolhouse Lane was analyzed in the Build condition with the site-generated traffic.The proposed access approach would be stop-controlled while the other approaches would remain uncontrolled.No existing count data at this intersection were recorded,however,to be conservative,it was assumed that all background trips in the No-Build condition for Griffing Street, North Street, and Schoolhouse Lane would pass through this intersection.These resulting volumes are shown in the a.m.,p.m.,and weekend peak hours in Figures 11,12,and 13,respectively,below. 111 3.1 Transportation • Traffic Operations Analysis Measuring existing traffic volumes and projecting future traffic volumes quantifies traffic flow within the study area.To assess quality of traffic flow,roadway capacity analyses were conducted with respect to the Existing,No-Build and Build conditions. These capacity analyses provide an indication of the adequacy of the roadway facilities to serve the anticipated traffic demands. Level of Service Analysis The results of the capacity analyses for the signalized intersections of NY 25 and New Suffolk Road and CR 48 and Depot Lane for the Existing,No-Build and Build conditions are summarized in Tables 12,13 and 14 below,for the a.m.,p.m.and weekend midday periods,respectively.The results of the capacity analyses for the six=signalized study intersections for Existing,No-Build and Build conditions are summarized in Tables 15, 16 and 17 below,for the a.m.,p.m.and weekend midday peak periods,respectively. The detailed capacity analysis worksheets are contained in Attachment C of the traffic study(see Appendix G of this DEIS). 118 3.1 Transportation 1ihb Off-Street Parking and Circulation The Town Code for the Town of Southold requires two off-street spaces per unit for two-bedroom multi-family condominium housing,plus 0.25 space for each additional bedroom,and one space per 300 square feet for the community center. For the proposed 124 units and 6,189-SF community center at The Heritage at Cutchogue,a total of 282 spaces would be required.The Layout and Materials Plan for the proposed development(see Appendix A)includes 284 spaces,which exceed the Town Code requirements. Parking is proposed to be unregulated within the subject development.In addition to the two-car garages provided for each residential unit,there is driveway space available for an additional two cars per unit.Additional on-site parking is located in parking areas adjacent to the community center. A careful review of the proposed site plan shows that,given the roadway widths, curve radii and intersection geometry,the configuration of the parking layout,drive aisles,site access point and internal site roadways will provide for adequate on-site vehicular circulation.The internal roadways provide a continuous circulation throughout the site and were designed based on consultations with the Town of Southold Planning Department.Previous versions of the site plan included additional horizontal curvature along the internal roadways that were softened as a result of these consultations.In order to control speed,and provide traffic calming, all internal roadway intersections within the project site are stop-controlled. With regard to truck access,trucks will enter the site via the main access on Schoolhouse Lane.It is anticipated that truck activity on the site would be low and limited to parcel post-type deliveries,solid waste removal,and periodically activities related to moving in/out of residents.A circulation plan demonstrating the entry and circulation of trucks is included in Appendix A of this DEIS. Emergency access to the subject site is provided not only through the paved main access along Schoolhouse Lane,but also via two emergency access roads,constructed with 20-foot wide reinforced grass block surfaces,which are accessed from Spur Road on the southwest corner of the parcel, and Bridle Lane on the northwest corner of the parcel.A circulation plan demonstrating the entry and circulation of fire trucks is included in Appendix A of this DEIS.As there are no significant increases in delay within the study area,as a result of the proposed project,there would be no significant adverse impacts to emergency response times.As an example,a police response from the stationhouse east of the site,would involve a free-right turn to Griffing Street from NY 25. The project will not increase delays to this free movement. Were a fire emergency responded to from the west,the left turn onto Griffing Street is essentially identical to the No-Build,with the analysis Build in this study indicating only a 0.1 second increase in delay for this movement. Moreover, the National Fire Protection Association(NFPA)indicates that 14 minutes is the minimum standard for response time by fire personnel. Chief Flatley projected a 126 3.1 Transportation 1ihb four-minute response time;thus,any minor increase in response time due to this project would maintain a response time well below the minimum standard. Although the Final Scope requires discussion of,the potential impacts of the proposed action on parking infrastructure within the hamlet center,given the proximity of the proposed Heritage at Cutchogue to the hamlet center,it is not anticipated that significant adverse impacts would occur to parking infrastructure within the hamlet center.As NY 25 is the major route for east/west transit along the North Fork,a significant portion of activity,including parking,is a result of patrons passing through the hamlet. Any increases in parking demand,from the proposed action(which are difficult to quantify) are expected to be a small percentage of existing activity. Pedestrian accommodation on-site includes a series of trails which traverse the subject property.Off-site pedestrian accommodation is currently only provided in the business district and on main roadways.In keeping with the existing,adjacent, low-volume,residential roadways of the area,no off-site sidewalk is proposed to be constructed for this project. Potential alternative site access locations(such as to Depot Lane)have been considered,as required by in the Final Scope.The site has no frontage on Depot Lane and,as such, cannot provide access to Depot Lane.Alternative connection to the site via existing roadway stubs,west of the site,were considered under the previous application,and were eliminated from consideration as being not desirable. Summary > The proposed 124 residential condominiums would generate a moderate amount of traffic during the a.m.,p.m. and Saturday midday peak periods. > The traffic generated by the development can be accommodated by the adjacent roadway network.The site-generation traffic for this project was conservatively developed using a general condominium use that approximately doubles the number of projected site-generated trips during all study periods as compared to rates for senior condominiums.The actual trips generated from the proposed use are anticipated to be much lower than the volumes shown in this report.In addition, the site generated volumes are anticipated to be seasonal,and not all the proposed units are anticipated to be actively used for the entire year. > Following the completion of the project,the signalized intersections of NY 25 and New Suffolk Road and CR 48 and Depot Lane and the six unsignalized intersections critical approaches would operate at a satisfactory overall intersection Level of Service C or better during all analysis periods with the exception of the southbound approaches to NY 25 from Depot Lane in the p.m. peak hour and weekend peak hour. > The Site Access proposed to be aligned to Griffing Street along Schoolhouse Lane would operate well during the Build Condition, as existing traffic volumes are low. 127 3.1 Transportation 3.1.3 Proposed Mitigation Based on a review of the traffic analysis,and as described in Section 3.1.2,above,no mitigation would be required for this project.Any increases in delay at the study intersections are deemed insignificant.In addition,any increases in delay are accounting for the busiest hour of the day;delays throughout the remainder of the day at all the intersections would be even less significant.The largest increase in delay for any single approach would be the southbound approach at NY 25 and Depot Lane. As indicated in Section 3.1.2,although no mitigation would be required,if requested by the Town,a possible improvement for the affected intersection has been developed and could be implemented. This measure would improve the level of service on the southbound approach of the unsignalized intersection of NY 25 and Depot Lane during the p.m.peak hour and weekend peak hour. This southbound approach operates as two lanes under all circumstances. Therefore,the intersection was reanalyzed with a minor roadway geometry change—widening Depot Lane by four feet to allow for the creation of one exclusive southbound right-turn and one exclusive left-turn lane at NY 25.The four foot widening,with taper to meet the existing roadway width,would not extend beyond 80 feet from the intersection, coinciding with the limits of the corner gas station property.By slightly widening the. roadway to allow for a short exclusive right-turn lane,the southbound approach LOS can be improved from LOS F to a LOS E in the p.m.peak hour and from LOS F to LOS D in the weekend peak hour,in the Build Condition. It should also be noted that this potential improvement would also improve the No Build condition in the weekend peak hour(from LOS E to LOS D).The widening can be achieved within the existing public right-of-way as the Depot Lane width is shown as 50 feet wide on record plans.No property acquisition or dedications would be required for this improvement.The existing Depot Lane roadway section is 30 feet wide and the resulting pavement width would be a maximum of 34 feet wide over a length of 80 feet,to accommodate two approach lanes at NY 25.The results of this improvement are shown in Tables 18 and 19,below and the detailed Synchro analysis worksheets are included in Attachment C of the traffic study(Appendix G).A traffic signal warrant analysis was performed and determined that a traffic signal at the intersection of NY 25 and Depot Lane is not warranted (see Page 49-50 of the Traffic Impact Analysis Report in Appendix G).The results of the No Build and Build conditions are also shown in the table for easy comparison.It is important to note that these analysis results are intended to demonstrate that the impact of the site- generated traffic can be readily mitigated.The need for this potential improvement would be determined by the Town of Southold.In response to the Town's comment regarding potential safety improvement measures,the provision of the turn-lanes is a proven countermeasure,according to NYSDOT. 128 3.1 Transportation Table 18- Mitigation Level of Service Summary—Unsignalized Intersection - PM Peak Hour lntersection Lane '''; Build,2020 ' Approach!

During the Weekend Peak Hour,the LOS would change from E to F at the NY 25 and Depot Lane southbound approach;and from LOS B to C at the CR 48 and Depot Lane northbound and southbound approaches. The projected delays would be less than 10 seconds at these unsignalized intersections and thus,would not pose a significant adverse impact on traffic within the proposed project vicinity(see Section 3.1.2 of this DEIS for a discussion of Traffic Impacts).The letter also stated that the Police Department would anticipate an increase in calls for service from the added residents at The Heritage at Cutchogue. However,it should be noted,and as discussed in greater detail in the Projected Property Tax Revenue subsection of this DEIS,the proposed development would provide between$163,463 and$197,202 in property taxes to the Town,annually, which should help to off-set the potential costs in providing additional police protection to the proposed development(between approximately$159,832 and $193,571 a year higher than the existing condition).Moreover,as the proposed project would likely include a large percentage of seasonal residents,it is anticipated that the demand on the Police Department would decrease for a portion of the year. In addition,the proposed project provides a gated entrance that would restrict access to the community,and exterior lighting would be provided throughout the subject property to allow for adequate visibility and increase site security.Furthermore,the units would be furnished with home security systems that would alert emergency services providers to conditions requiring their presence at the site. Based on the above information,it is not anticipated that the proposed development would pose a significant adverse impact on police protection of the Police Department. Fire Protection and Ambulance Services As indicated in Section 3.3.1 of the DEIS,the subject property is within the service area of the Cutchogue Fire Department.As indicated in Section 3.3.1, two rounds of correspondence have been sent to the Cutchogue Fire Department informing the Department of the proposed project and requesting information regarding personnel, equipment and additional information(including proposed hydrant placement)that the Department believes would be of assistance in the preparation of the DEIS(see Appendix C). A preliminary response was received on October 26,2015 and raised the following concerns: The property exit road surfaces are inadequate for our heavy vehicles and may become mired down. As indicated on the proposed site plan,as well as sheet C-6 Site Details I(in the Site Plan submission package),the specifications of the proposed 182 3.3 Community Facilities and Services GrassPave2 pervious pavers can accommodate 5,700 pounds per square mch (psi),which is more than enough to support the outriggers of an emergency vehicle,such as a fire truck. In fact,product documentation(see Appendix L)indicates that a 100-foot ladder truck was lifted up by its outriggers and no depressions or ruts were caused by either the tires or the outriggers. There should be a 2nd entrance/exit to the development to allow for proper response of emergency vehicles. As shown on the proposed Site Plan,the proposed project provides one primary entrance at the intersection of Schoolhouse Lane and Griffing Street, with two emergency access points;one each from Bridle Lane and Spur Road.The primary access point for the development is on the south side of the subject property,and the two emergency access points are on the west side of the property. As the north and east sides of the property are landlocked,with no street frontage,there is no other appropriate location for site access,over and above the three access points provided,as described above. Moreover,as demonstrated on the proposed fire truck circulation plan(see Appendix A),there is ample circulation for emergency vehicles onto and within the site. From experience on the north fork with other rescue department issues,we would like to see some sort of medical/nurses station within the confines of the property to handle some of the minor medical complaints your residents may have. The proposed project is for a condominium community with age-restrictions. It is not proposed to be an assisted-living facility or nursing home. As such, there is no reason to anticipate an increased number of health-related emergencies at the proposed development. Thus,it is respectfully submitted that the proposed site plan and the materials to be used in the subject project address the preliminary concerns of the Cutchogue Fire Department. Based upon the property tax analysis included in the Projected Property Tax Revenue subsection of this DEIS,the Cutchogue Fire Department is expected to receive between approximately$42,895 and$51,749 annually from the proposed development.This is between approximately$41,942 and$50,796 a year higher than the existing condition. This additional tax revenue is expected to assist in off-setting the cost of the provision of additional fire protection and ambulance services to the proposed development. Furthermore,the proposed buildings would be constructed to the latest New York State Building and Fire Code and the clubhouse would also be sprinklered. All access drives would be compliant with regulations and standards required for firefighting equipment. In addition to the main driveway,there would be emergency 183 3.3 Community Facilities and Services 4itii access-ways to Bridle Lane and Spur Road,which would consist of grass areas with a load bearing sub-surface. In addition, a Fire Truck Circulation plan has been prepared(see Appendix A),which demonstrates the ability of the emergency apparatus to maneuver through the proposed site,as well as ingress/egress to the subject property. The condominium units would be comparable to buildings found elsewhere in the Town and would not represent new types or sizes of structures that present specific training or special tactical/equipment considerations.As such,and because the proposed project would likely serve a large seasonal population,it is not expected that the proposed project would pose a significant adverse impact on fire or ambulance service within the community. Public School Districts As indicated in Section 3.3.1 of the DEIS,the subject property is served by the Mattituck-Cutchogue UFSD. As noted above,correspondence was sent to the UFSD notifying the district about the proposed project and requesting information regarding schools that would serve The Heritage at Cutchogue,enrollment data,per pupil expenditures,bus routes in the area of the site,and long-range planning studies(see Appendix C). To date,no response has been received. The Stipulation of Settlement,which is discussed in detail in Section 1.1.1 of this DEIS,specifies that the occupancy of the residential units must be limited to those 55 years of age or older and that only children or grandchildren who are 19 years of age or older may reside with occupants of the condominiums.As the proposed project would involve the development of age-restricted condominium units for 55+year old residents,The Heritage at Cutchogue would not generate any school-aged children. Therefore,as discussed below,all school property taxes generated would be surplus for the school district. Based upon the property tax analysis,below,the proposed project would generate between approximately$546,090 and$658,805 per year for the Mattituck-Cutchogue UFSD,therefore the school district would yield an increase of between approximately$533,960 and$646,675 in annual revenues over the existing condition without a related increase in service costs. Based on the foregoing,no significant adverse impacts are anticipated with respect to public school districts. Other Community Facilities The proposed Heritage at Cutchogue is anticipated to have positive impacts on other community facilities in the vicinity,due to increased patronage of the facilities,such as the Cutchogue Post Office and the various area religious institutions.In addition, between approximately$47,424 and$57,212 in new property tax revenues for the 184 3.3 Community Facilities and Services
