Re: Hudson City Amended
SCTM# 1000-122-3-17.1 Zoning District— B/11-40
The site plan was approved by the Planning Board on 9/16/09.
This Amended Site Plan Application is for the proposed use change of an approved two story medical
office building to a first floor consisting of a 1,200 sq.ft. restaurant&3,550 sq.ft. of retail space and the
second floor containing three (3) medical offices on 1.9 acres in the B/11-40 Zoning Districts.
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 LWRP.
5.5. Protect and conserve the quality and quantity of potable water.
Protecting the quality of potable water is a Town goal.
A. Prevent contamination of potable waters by limiting discharges of pollutants to maintain
water quality according to water quality classification, and limiting, discouraging or
prohibiting land use practices that are likely to contribute to contravention of surface and
groundwater quality classifications for potable water supplies;
It is important to recognize that all drinking water and irrigation water supply on the
North Fork is withdrawn from the upper glacial aquifer because groundwater in the
deeper aquifers is mostly saline. Groundwater resources are delineated by the NYSDEC as
Special Groundwater Protection Areas. These areas are the core areas of recharge to
Southold's aquifer.

The SUFFOLK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN
((SCCWMP) 2015) identifies nitrate causing the most widespread concern to the regions
groundwater.
Recognizing the problem of Nitrogen (nitrates) loading in ground and surface waters,the
Suffolk County Legislature established a goal of reducing fertilization in residential areas
by 10 to 25 percent, and passed Local Law 41-2007 to reduce Nitrogen pollution
countywide. The law states that"the quality of our water should be considered a higher
priority than the aesthetics of lawns, and those high maintenance lawns require more
Nitrogen and are more likely to leach excess Nitrogen, so that high maintenance lawns
should be discouraged".
To further lessen impact on surface water and ground water quality or quantity the
following best management practices should be required to be filed within a Covenant
and Restriction:
a. Require the use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping.
b. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is no more
than 20%of the total nitrogen in the mixture.
c. Require a maximum of 1 Ib. of nitrogen per 1000 square feet in any one application,
with a cumulative application of no more than 2 lbs. per 1,000 square feet per year.
d. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or
potassium between November 1st and April 1st.
e. The use of phosphorous containing lawn fertilizer is prohibited unless establishing a
new lawn or soil test shows that the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Fertilizer
labels have three bold numbers.The number in the middle is the percentage of
phosphorus in the product,e.g. 22-0-15. Use of products with 0.67 in the middle or lower
is not restricted. Products with a number higher than 0.67 may only be used if a new lawn
is being established or a soil test indicates it is necessary.
Pursuant to Chapter 268,the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written
determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
