LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
MEMORANDUM
To: Jim Rich, Vice Chair
Town of Southold Planning Board
From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner
LWRP Coordinator
Date: September 16, 2015
Re: Proposed Site ADF Ventures
SCTM#1000-48.-2-44.2 Zoning District- LI
This Site Plan is for an electrical contractor's yard and proposed construction of a 64' x 36'
(2,304 sq. ft.) building for storage and bathroom with four parking stalls on 0.22 acres in the
Light Industrial Zoning District, Greenport.
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 INCONSISTENT with the below listed
policy standards and therefore INCONSISTENT with the LWRP.
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 lot is located within the Light Industrial (LI) zone embedded within a residential
neighborhood. The industrial zoning of the lot can be attributed to its proximity to the Long
Island Railroad tracks and historical need to have access to this transportation mode.
To the north (across Corwin Street) and to the east the properties are improved with single
family residences and zoned Residential 40 (R-40 and R-2 (Village of Greenport Zoning)). To
the south is the Long Island Railroad tracks then single family residences in the R-40 zoning
district. To the west the parcel is improved and zoned Light Industrial.
The requirements of the Light Industrial Zoning District bulk schedule coupled with the lot area
configuration and proposed build out creates the need for numerous variances. Due to the size
of the lot, the proposed use and the activity associated with the use the action does not support
the character of the community/neighborhood.
The policy is intended to foster a development pattern that provides for beneficial use of the
environmental, historical, and cultural coastal resources of the Town of Southold while
maintaining and building on its traditional economic base. The primary components of the
desired development pattern are: strengthening the hamlets as centers of activity, maintaining a
clear sense of separation between hamlet centers and the countryside, encouraging water-
dependent uses to concentrate in existing locations of maritime activity, enhancing stable
residential areas, and preserving agriculture, open space and environmentally sensitive coastal
resources. Development that does not reinforce the traditional land use pattern of the Town of
Southold would result in a loss of the community and landscape character of Southold.
The action does not meet Policy 3, Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources
throughout the Town of Southold.
A. Minimize introduction of structural design components (including utility lines, lighting,
signage and fencing) which would be discordant with existing natural scenic components
and character.
The building is large and the placement on the parcel creates the need for the applicant
to seek numerous variances on the undersized, nonconforming lot. The proposed
setbacks, as proposed, are deficient in establishing functional buffers between the
proposed use and the neighboring residential character. Functional buffers in this
instance would be designed to screen the building on site and minimize disruption of the
neighborhood character from daily operations. Width of the buffers should be sufficient
to incorporate existing vegetation, plant additional vegetation and/or install fencing.
The parking area proposed east of the building further disrupts the character of Corwin
• Street by increasing vehicle trips traffic on the street. Access to the parcel should be
established from the west (Seventh Street) to minimize disruption of the neighborhood
character.
E. Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to enhance scenic
quality:
1. Restore or add indigenous vegetative cover that presents a natural
appearance.
The Landscape Plan, dated May 20, 2015, does not preserve the existing large trees on-
site that should be incorporated into buffers. In the event the action is approved, buffer
widths should be maximized and vegetated with large trees to separate the proposed
and future Light Industrial uses on the parcel from the residential uses in the vicinity as
discussed above. A Covenant and Restriction establishing the buffers should be
considered by the Board to further preserve the neighborhood character.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written
determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
