SCTM#: 1000-114-11-2 Zoning District: RO and R-40
This proposed amended site plan is to increase the existing parking area by 24 spaces,from 34 spaces to
58 spaces(including 5ADA)on 1.5 acres in the RO/R-40 Zoning District.
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
Policy 2.2. Protect and preserve archaeological resources.
A. Conduct a cultural resource investigation when an action is proposed on an
archaeological site,fossil bed, or in an area identified for potential archaeological
sensitivity on the archaeological resources inventory maps prepared by the New York
State Department of Education.
1. Conduct a site survey to determine the presence or absence of cultural
resources in the project's potential impact area.
The Town's ArcGIS identifies the parcel as within an archeo-sensitive
area. The NYS CRIS system was also referenced to determine if the
parcel is archeo-sensitive or contains historic structures. There are no
New York State indicators that the parcel contains archeo-sensitive areas
or structures; however, local,historical knowledge identifies the parcel
as a potential location where the British Army camped during the
American Revolutionary War.
To meet Policy 2.2 an archeological investigation is recommended.
Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold.
E. Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to enhance scenic
quality:
The Plant List table shown on the Landscape Plan dated December 6, 2019 includes
species that are not indigenous or on the Southold Town Planning Board Native/Natural
Buffer Plantings Specifications. It is recommended that the Board further this policy by
included a greater number of native, drought tolerant plants while recognizing that the
proposed area where the plantings would be located is a desi9gned to be a public open
space
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written
determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
