NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Notice of Determination Non-Significant
September 10, 2018
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to
Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Law.
The Southold Town Planning Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Name of Action: Proposed Resubdivision for John & Frances DiVello
SCTM#: SCTM#: 1000-140.-2-30 & 32
Location: 800 Wickham Avenue & 305 Hill Street, Mattituck, NY, 11952
SEAR Status: Type I ( )
Unlisted (X)
Conditioned Negative Declaration: Yes ( )
No (X)
Description of Action:
This resubdivision proposes to transfer 0.85 acres from SCTM#1000-140.-2-32 to
SCTM#1000-140.-2-30. Lot 30, located in the LI Zoning District, will increase from 0.47
acres to 1.37 acres. Lot 32, currently located in both the RO and LI Zoning Districts, will
decrease from 1.43 acres to 0.52 acres, and will be entirely in the RO Zoning District.
Through the proposed re-subdivision, the lot line of this parcel will move to the zoning
line. As a result, Lot 1 will be entirely in the LI Zoning District and Lot 2 will be entirely in
the RO Zoning District.
Negative Declaration Page 12 September 10, 2018
The Zoning Board of Appeals granted an area variance for lot area and setbacks. Lot 32
did not conform to the Bulk Schedule requirements in the RO Zoning, which requires a
lot area of 40,000 sq. ft. and a front yard setback of 50 feet. This variance was granted
in Southold Town ZBA File# 6613.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
A Short Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed and it was
determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment were likely to occur
should the project be implemented as planned.
The determination was based upon the following:
This resubdivision will not have any adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhood or
adjacent properties. Through resubdivision, the proposed lot line will be moved to the
zoning line approved by the Southold Town Board.
Thus the following can be said of this action:
1. The applicant has been granted an area variance from the Zoning Board of
Appeals for lot area and setbacks in File #6613. Following the proposed
resubdivision, the lot line will be moved to the zoning line on the property. No
new lots will be created, and no increase in development is expected as a result
of the configuration of the land transfer.
2. The proposed application will not be expected to adversely affect groundwater
quality because no new development potential will be created by this action.
3. No substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality
or quantity, traffic or noise levels, no substantial increase in solid waste production,
potential of erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems will occur as a result of
this action.
4. There will be no significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or
fauna, no substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species, no significant impacts on a significant habitat area, no
substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or
plant or the habitat of such a species, and no other significant adverse impacts to
natural resources will occur as a result of this lot line change.
5. The proposed action is not in a material conflict with a community's current plans
or goals as officially approved or adopted.
6. The proposed action will not significantly impair the character or quality of
important historical, archaeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of
existing community or neighborhood character.
Negative Declaration Page 13 September 10, 2018
7. No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.
8. No creation of a hazard to human health will occur as a result of this lot line
change.
9. The proposed action will not cause a substantial change in the use, or intensity of
use, of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its
capacity to support existing uses.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to
occur should the project be implemented as planned.

Short Environmental Assessment Form
Part 3 Determination of Significance
For every question in Part 2 that was answered"moderate to large impact may occur",or if there is a need to explain why a
particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact,please
complete Part 3.Part 3 should,in sufficient detail,identify the impact,including any measures or design elements that
have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency
determined that the impact may or will not be significant.Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting,
probability of occurring,duration,irreversibility,geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-
term,long-term and cumulative impacts.
The Lead Agency finds that the action will not result in a significant adverse impact mainly because there is a very
small amount of land involved in the land transfer-only 0.85 acres is being transferred. The resulting new larger lot
size will not convey the ability to subdivide the parcel, and will not allow a second industrial use on the parcel. There
could be some expansion of the industrial use of the parcel after the size is expanded, however there are many
protections in the Town Code and site plan process to prevent and/or mitigate any adverse impacts resulting from
future uses. The smaller lot resulting from this resubdivision is zoned Residential Office, which also has many
protections and restrictions of use already in the Town Code that would prevent future significant adverse impacts.
ECheck this box if you have determined,based on the information and analysis above,and any supporting documentation,
that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an
environmental impact statement is required.

FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
The Town of Southold), as lead agency, subsequent to review of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) and the Final Environmental Impact Statement(FEIS) prepared in accordance
under SEQRA hereby certifies that:
> it has considered the relevant environmental impacts, facts and conclusions disclosed in
the DEIS and FEIS;
> it has weighed and balanced relevant environmental impacts with social, economic and
other considerations;
> the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 have been met;
> consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations from among the
reasonable alternatives available,the action described below is one that avoids or
minimizes adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable; and
> adverse environmental impacts will be avoided or minimized to the maximum extent
practicable by incorporating, as conditions to the decision, those mitigation measures that
were identified as practicable during the environmental review process and as set forth
herein.
Description of Action
The action as proposed in the May 16, 2017 DEIS was described as a site plan review for the
construction of a 2,250 sq. ft. convenience store and gas station including: six (6) fuel pump
islands with 12 fuel pump stations, two canopies, one 50' x 24' (1200 sq. ft.) and the other 50'x
50' (2,500 sq.ft.) and 29 parking spaces on 1.5 acres in the General Business (B) Zoning District.
The action included installation of two (2) 15,000 gallon USTs. One 15,000 gallon UST will store
non-leaded gasoline; the second tank has three (3) 5,000 gallon compartments. One 5,000 gallon
compartment will store diesel, the second 5,000 gallon compartment will store super-non-
leaded gasoline and the third 5,000 gallon compartment will store non-leaded gasoline.
The layout of the original proposed action was changed in Alternative 3, proposed in the FEIS,
by moving the building to the west, and proposing only one canopy at 92' x 42' (3,864 sq. ft.)
covering six (6) fuel pump islands with 12 fuel pump stations. The building is proposed at 3,000
sq.ft. with 32 parking spaces.

FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
Facts, Conclusions and Mitigation Measures
In accordance with 6 NYCRR §617.11, the Planning Board has considered the DEIS and FEIS
for the proposed action and certifies that it has met the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617. The
commentary received from involved agencies and interested parties was used in the analysis of
significant impacts to the environment, and this Findings Statement contains the facts and
conclusions in the DEIS and FEIS relied upon by the lead agency to support its decision and
indicates those factors that formed the basis of the decision.
Further, upon due consideration and among the reasonable alternatives available, the Planning
Board, as lead agency,has determined that based upon the potential significant environmental
impacts identified in the documents, the following includes the mitigation measures to be
incorporated into the decision to ensure that such impacts will be avoided or minimized to the
maximum extent practicable.
1. Impact on Groundwater
2. Impact on Air Quality
3. Impact on Aesthetic Resources
4. Impact on Transportation
5. Impact from Noise, Odor and Light
6. Impact on Human Health
7. Consistency with Community plans
8. Impacts to Community Character
Impact on Groundwater
Potential Impacts:
1. Contamination of groundwater from previous uses on site
Finding: The applicant has provided test results in the FEIS that demonstrate this is not a
concern, and that further investigation will occur during excavation of the site. On site
qualified environmental professional(s) experienced in identifying petroleum product release
and investigation protocols will be present during excavation. In the event a spill has
occurred the onsite professional will contact the NYSDEC and initiate the spill response
protocols. This potential impact has been mitigated to the greatest extent practicable.
2. Contamination of groundwater from proposed use via leaking storage tanks and fuel
spills
Finding: All underground tanks will be installed according to the latest safety measures, and
any future spill would be handled according to NYSDEC protocols. The applicant has
provided information demonstrating that potential impacts to groundwater have been
mitigated to the greatest extent practicable.

FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
3. Water quantity could be affected by overuse of irrigation.
Finding—mitigation required:
1. Use drought-tolerant landscaping,
2. Irrigation controls such as rain sensors to prevent unnecessary watering
3. Minimize lawn area to reduce irrigation needs.
Based on the foregoing, all significant adverse impacts to groundwater will have been mitigated
to the greatest extent practicable.
Impact on Air Quality
Air quality could be negatively affected by VOC's escaping during fueling, and carbon
monoxide from idling vehicles and increased vehicle trips.
Finding—mitigation provided by applicant:
1. The station will comply with industry standards for pump nozzles that restrict volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) from escaping during fuel dispensing.
2. All motor vehicles must be turned off during fueling as required by law, and stationary
idling of vehicles is therefore not expected to have potential for significant impact to air
quality.
3. If during queuing there is a long line of vehicles (as may be the scenario during an
emergency)the facility operators will place a sign to advise motorists vehicles must be
turned-off and restarted to advance along the queuing line.
Significant adverse impacts to air will be mitigated to the greatest extent practicable by
following these protocols.
Impact on Aesthetic Resources
The proposed action would be highly visible from CR48, a State-designated Scenic Byway and
will cause a moderate to large impact on aesthetic resources due to the size of the proposed
canopy and its proximity to the road.
Finding—mitigation required: The applicant has provided Alternative 3 as mitigation to the
original proposed action, however it does not accomplish mitigation to the greatest extent
practicable. The proposed canopy is larger than the original proposal's two canopies put
together.
Further mitigation is required as follows:
1. Reduce the size of the canopy (reduce the length by reducing the number of fuel pump
stations from 12 to 8 (i.e. reduce the fuel pump islands from 6 to 4))
2. Use canopy construction materials that have a natural color and look, with non-reflective
surfaces.
3. Change the building architecture and site design elements (signage, parking lot lighting)
more like the vintage look proposed in the DEIS.
4
FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
4. Straighten the building orientation so it is parallel to the property line.
5. Land-bank some of the parking.
6. Integrate existing trees into the site plan where possible.
Based on the foregoing, all significant adverse impacts to aesthetics will have been mitigated to
the greatest extent practicable.
Impact on Transportation
The DEIS and FEIS identified and evaluated the potential adverse impacts to transportation.
These potential impacts included a reduction in the levels of service at the intersection, and
traffic and pedestrian safety both at the site and on nearby roadways leading to and from the site.
Finding—mitigation required: The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) submitted with the DEIS,
together with additional information and corrections provided in the FEIS concluded that there
will not be a significant adverse impact to transportation. While the Lead Agency agrees that the
volume of traffic from the development once completed can be accommodated by the adjacent
roadway network, there remain traffic and pedestrian safety impacts related to traffic that must
be mitigated.
Further mitigation is required as follows:
1. Require a turning lane on CR 48 for westbound traffic to be able to stop and wait to make
a left into the gas station out of the travel lane (the County has recently re-striped the road
and added this turning lane).
2. Move the driveways as far from the intersection as feasible. Alternative 3 moved the
driveway on Youngs Avenue farther away, but not as far as possible.
a. To accomplish this for the driveway on Youngs Avenue, the building can be
shifted in its orientation to be square to the property line, and the driveway
straightened to be square to Youngs Avenue. Currently the building is angled
slightly towards the corner, causing the driveway, which is aligned with the
building, to shift towards the intersection. If the building were set straight along
the property line, the driveway could be shifted farther away from the
intersection.
3. The driveway on CR 48 should be evaluated to see if it can be moved farther from the
intersection.
4. Widen the driveway on CR 48.
5. Re-design the sidewalk along the road to accommodate the new configuration of CR 48
6. Landscaping must not interfere with the line of sight to the driveway for vehicles entering
Youngs Avenue from the CR48 eastbound lane.
7. Arrange the diesel fuel pump to be in the most accessible location possible.
Based on the foregoing, all significant adverse impacts to transportation will have been mitigated
to the greatest extent practicable.

FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
Impact from Noise, Odor and Lij4ht
The DEIS and FEIS identified and evaluated the potential for significant adverse impacts from
noise, odor and light.
Noise impacts would be generated by vehicles on site, as well as vacuum cleaners and HVAC
equipment.Noise would also be generated during construction of the site.
There were no specific noxious odors identified with this site's construction.
Light pollution will be generated by the canopy,parking lot, and building lights.
Finding—mitigation required:
Noise
1. Place vacuum cleaners as far from neighboring homes as possible.
2. Heavy construction such as excavation, grading, and general site work must not take
place on Sundays or holidays, and all construction will comply with the Southold Town
noise ordinance limiting all construction work between 7:OOam and 7:OOpm
Light pollution
1. Reduce the size of the canopy (reduce the length by reducing the number of fuel pump
stations from 12 to 8 (i.e. reduce the fuel pump islands from 6 to 4)) to reduce the overall
amount of light on the site. The lighting under the gas station canopy will, by its nature,
be obtrusive and create visual impacts, including light pollution and sky glow. While to
some extent this is unavoidable due to the height of the canopy, further mitigation of this
impact can be achieved by reducing the size of the canopy,thus reducing the amount of
light overall.
2. Use canopy construction materials that have dark-colored, non-reflective surfaces to
reduce the amount of light reflected off the site.
3. Land-bank some of the parking to reduce the amount of parking lot lighting.
4. Adverse impacts from parking lot lighting can be further mitigated through good design,
i.e. placement of lights where they are most effective and avoiding over-lighting or
lighting areas where light is not necessary.
Impact on Human Health
The DEIS and FEIS evaluated the potential for significant adverse impacts to human health due
to the unearthing of hazardous materials during construction of the proposed gas station and
convenience store.
Finding: Based on test results at the site, and regulatory protocols of the NYSDEC and Suffolk
County Department of Health, no significant adverse impacts to human health are expected as a
result of this action.
Consistency with Community plans
The DEIS and FEIS evaluated whether the action was consistent with community plans.
6
FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
Finding—mitigation required: The action is inconsistent with community plans—specifically
the Southold Town Zoning Code which is considered part of the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
As outlined in the FEIS,the canopy structure is closer to the road and longer than allowed by
Southold Town Code. The action is also inconsistent with the section of Town Code that
regulates landscaping.
Further mitigation is required as follows:
1. Reduce the size of the canopy as described above and to better meet Town Code
requirements.
2. Comply with all Town Code landscaping requirements for site plans and parking lots.
Based on the foregoing, inconsistencies with community plans have been mitigated to the
greatest extent practicable.
Impacts to Community Character
The DEIS and FEIS identified and evaluated the potential for significant adverse impacts to
community character and quality of life as a result of this proposed action. Impacts to community
character would be generated by the building and canopy size and architectural design, building
materials, site layout, lighting and landscaping, as well as the potential for the site to be open 24
hours a day.
Finding—mitigation required: The applicant has provided Alternative 3 as mitigation to the
original proposed action, however it does not accomplish mitigation to the greatest extent
practicable. Overall, the scale of the development and design need more work to be consistent
with community character. Of the 13 gas stations on the North Fork (Jamesport to Orient), only
eight have canopies. Of those that have canopies, the average size is 1,255 sq. ft., the median is
1,200 sq. ft., and the maximum size is 2,800 sq.ft. At 3,865 sq. ft. the canopy proposed in
Alternative 3 is three times larger than the average canopy, and 40% larger than the largest
canopy in the area. The average number of fuel pump stations is 5 and the median is 4, with the
maximum number being 8. Alternative 3 proposed 12 fuel pump stations, three times more than
the median, and 50%more than the maximum number in the area.
Further mitigation is required as follows:
1. Reduce # of fuel pump stations to no more than 8 (12 are currently proposed).
2. Reduce size of canopy as described above in previous sections.
3. Request applicant agree to restrict their hours of operation so that the site is not open 24
hours a day to provide some relief from the light pollution and noise to the adjacent
residential neighbors.
4. Provide additional screening with landscaping and a fence to the neighboring residential
property.
5. Preserve existing trees on site to the extent feasible.
6. The storage and sale of vehicles on site is prohibited.
7. The use of security cameras shall be employed to deter crime.
8. Loitering on site shall be prohibited.
9. No littering signs shall be posted, and litter shall be picked up promptly.
7
FINDINGS STATEMENT—Southold Gas Station & Convenience Store
Based on the foregoing, all significant adverse impacts to community character have been
mitigated to the greatest extent practicable.
The Lead Agency has determined that the concept design provided in Alternative 3 in the FEIS,
together with the required mitigation described above will reduce the potential significant
adverse impacts to the greatest extent practicable.
