Conservation board conditions 3‑lot subdivision at 18 Veil Avenue on tree protection and disturbance accounting
Summary
Staff told the board that a proposed three‑lot subdivision at 18 Veil Avenue in East Quad converts about 2.2 acres of formerly tilled farmland to residential lots; the board recommended that the subdivision map include existing/proposed clearance footprints and disturbance calculations and urged protection or replacement of roadside trees.
Marty Shea, chief environmental analyst for the Town of Southampton, described the application for a three‑lot subdivision at 18 Veil Avenue in the hamlet of East Quad and noted the parcel "takes in 2.2 acres of historically formed tillable land" that would be subdivided into three residential lots. He advised that, because the land has been largely disturbed by past farming, the conversion to residential use is generally supportable only if protections such as roadside tree protection or replacement are included.
Shea recommended that the subdivision map include the existing and proposed clearance footprints and provide site disturbance calculations expressed as square footage and percent of lot area. A committee member moved to send those advisory comments to the planning board; the motion was seconded and approved. The advisory comments are intended to inform planning review and do not by themselves change permit authority or approvals.
