LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
MEMORANDUM
To: Supervisor Scott Russell
Town of Southold Town Board
From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner \
LWRP Coordinator
Date: July 31, 2015
Re: Local Waterfront Revitalization Coastal Consistency Review of the Change of Zone of
SCTM#1000-12-1-1.2 (Fishers Island).
This request involves the changing of zone on a .75 acre parcel from Residential (R-120) to
Affordable Housing District (AHD) on Fishers Island, New York on the Town Board's own
motion.
The proposed local law 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 to this department as well as the
records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with
the LWRP Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. This determination
is based on the following:
The action furthers 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 purpose of the Affordable Housing Zoning District "is to provide the opportunity within
certain areas of the Town for the development of high-density housing for families of moderate
income; and further, to do so with sensitivity to the historic and aesthetic character of the Town's
existing neighborhoods."
1. The action supports the purpose of the AHD zoning district and the comprehensive plan. The
parcel is currently improved with three buildings and a change of zone will not degrade the
historic or aesthetic character of the area, conversely, the new construction will expand on the
intent of the community effort to revitalize the area with the development of the iconic Fishers
Island Community Center. 2. The parcel is across the street from the Fishers Island School
property and Fishers Island Community Center, in close proximity to the Fishers Island
Community Theatre and the Ferry transportation hub.
3. The infrastructure is in place to support the AHD zone. The parcel is proposed to be served
by a public road, public water and sewer.
4. The action is fully supported by the Fishers Island Strategic Plan (2007) -
5. The parcel is located within the FEMA Flood Zone AE El 11 and 12 and X. There no ability
to fully locate structures outside of the AE flood zone on the parcel. FEMA First Floor Elevation
requirements will be required for future development.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Town Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
