hearing shall be held on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at 6:00 p.m., both in-person, at
Southampton Town Hall, 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, New York, and via
videoconferencing, to hear any and all persons either for or against a local law entitled: "A
LOCAL LAW amending various sections of Town Code chapter 330-340 through 330-346 in
order to enhance enforcement of"Dark Sky" laws," which provides as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. OF 2023
A LOCAL LAW amending various sections of Town Code chapter 330-340 through 330-346 in
order to enhance enforcement of"Dark Sky" laws,"
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows:
SECTION 1. Legislative Intent.
The purpose of the proposed amendments is to enhance enforcement ability of the body of
law known as "Dark Sky" law in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the
general public, conserve valuable energy resources, prevent light trespass from interfering
with our quality of life, protect our ecological and natural resources, and preserve the ability
to view the celestial features of the night sky for present and future generations.
SECTION 2. Amendment.
Section 330-341 of the Town Code is hereby amended by deleting the stricken words and
adding the underlined words as follows:
§ 330-341 Definitions.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
AVERAGE FOOTCANDLES
The average level of illuminance for a given area measured at ground level with a light
meter placed parallel to the ground.
COLOR RENDERING INDEX (CRI)
A number from 0 to 100 representing the ability of a light source to accurately reproduce
the colors of an illuminated object. (Higher index numbers indicate greater accuracy.)
CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE (CCT)
The perceived color of the light emitted by a lamp, expressed in kelvin (K) units. The lower
the kelvin rating, the "warmer" or more yellow the light; the higher the rating, the "cooler"
or more blue the light.
ESSENTIAL LIGHTING
Light used for a specified period of time that is necessary for a specific purpose, as defined
herein, while said purpose is actively being served. This includes fully shielded lighting that
Generated 3/30/2023 Page 2
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of March 28, 2023
is necessary to promote location identification, identify entrances and exits for public
circulation, to illuminate walkways in order to promote public safety, and fully shielded
security lighting activated by motion sensors and/or timers providing for illumination for a
maximum period of 10 minutes per triggering event.
[Amended 7-14-2015 by L.L. No. 22-2015]
EXCESSIVE LIGHTING
Light that exceeds the amount that is needed to perform a visual task at night or is required
for safety, per suggested minimum illuminance levels published by IES in its Recommended
Practices.
FIXTURE
The complete lighting assembly that houses the lamp or lamps and can include all or some
of the following parts: a housing, a mounting bracket or pole socket, a lamp holder, a
ballast, a reflector or mirror, and/or a refractor or lens; also referred to as a "luminaire."
FLOOD- OR SPOTLIGHT
Any light fixture or lamp that incorporates a reflector, a refractor, or a prismatic lens to
concentrate the light output into a directed beam in a particular direction.
FLUORESCENT
A type of discharge lamp that employs mercury vapor and phosphors. Unlike incandescent
lamps, fluorescent lamps require a ballast to regulate the flow of electricity.
FOOTCANDLE
The unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of light falling on a surface. One
footcandle is the illuminance produced by a candle on a surface one foot square from a
distance of one foot.
FULL CUTOFF
For the purposes of this article, a "full-cutoff fixture" is considered one that delivers 100%
of the total lumens within the 00 to 900 zone with a maximum of 10% of total lumens
delivered within the 800 to 900 zone. Full-cutoff fixtures are considered fully shielded. See
Figure 1. [Amended 7-14-2015 by L.L. No. 22-2015]
FULLY SHIELDED
A fixture constructed and installed in a fixed position and in such a manner that all light
emitted is projected below the horizontal plane through the fixture's lowest light-emitting
part. Unlike a full-cutoff fixture, a fully shielded fixture is not engineered to limit lumen
distribution in the 800 to 900 zone. See Figure 1. [Amended 7-14-2015 by L.L. No. 22-
2015]

to which the eyes are adapted. Glare may cause annoyance, discomfort, loss of visual
acuity, or momentary blindness.
HIGH-INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) LIGHTING
An energy-efficient family of lighting that includes high-pressure sodium, mercury vapor,
and metal-halide-type bulbs. These types require a warmup time, usually require a ballast
exclusive to the light source, and have a higher lumen output per watt than incandescent or
halogen lamps.
HIGH-PRESSURE SODIUM (HPS)
A type of high-intensity discharge lamp that primarily employs sodium. These lamps
produce light with a warm Correlated Color Temperature of approximately 2100 K and have

Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of April 11, 2023
SECTION 1. Legislative Intent.
This Local Law is intended to implement the goals and objectives of the Agricultural
Conservation District (the “ACD”), pursuant to Town Code Article X.1, §§330-51.1-51.3, the
objective of which is to encourage the protection of farming and the business of farming in
the Town of Southampton by balancing the impact of regulatory mechanisms, such as
zoning, against the farm owner’s ability to maintain equity in a farm operation. (Town Code
§330-51.1(A)).
Under the ACD, the farm owner and the Town enter into an Agricultural Conservation
District Easement (the “Easement”), by which the land is limited to agricultural production,
as same is defined by § 301 of the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law, for a
minimum term of 10 years, or until such time thereafter that the Easement is terminated by
the property owner. During the time that the Easement remains in effect, the property is
zoned Agricultural Conservation (AC), and the landowner is granted a specific subdivision
yield, development right allocation, and an agricultural open space set-aside percentage,
which are all specified within the Easement. During the term of said Easement, the Town
and/or the landowner may explore a number of development/preservation options, outlined
in Town Code §330-51.1(D), including the:
1. Town purchase of development rights;
2. Town acquisition of the property in its entirety, or a portion thereof;
3. Sale/Transfer of development rights for off-site use; or
4. Limited development of the property as a Conservation Opportunities
Subdivision.
SECTION 2. Amendment.
Chapter 330 of the Town Code (Zoning Map) is hereby amended by changing the zoning
classification, from R-80 to Agricultural Conservation (AC), for an approximately 34.7 acre
agricultural property, located at 50 Job’s Lane, Bridgehampton, NY, further identified as
Suffolk County Tax Parcel 900-134-1-55, with a corresponding amendment to the Zoning
Map of the Town of Southampton, as indicated on the following map.

The Town Board may adopt local laws providing for zoning map amendments pursuant to
New York State Town Law §§264 and 265, as well as Municipal Home Rule Law
§§10(1)(ii)(a)(11) and (12).
SECTION 4. Severability.
If any section or subsection, paragraph, clause, phrase, sentence or provision of this law,
now or through supplementation, shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or held unconstitutional, any judgment made thereby shall not affect, impair or

ADOPTED DOC ID: 42897
Resolution Setting a Public Hearing to Consider Amending Town
Code Section §330-77 to Increase the Permitted Required Rear
Yard Lot Coverage Percentage
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Southampton hereby directs that a public
hearing shall be held on May 9, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., both in-person, at Southampton Town
Hall, 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, New York, and via videoconferencing, to hear any
and all persons either for against a local law entitled, “A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code
§330-77 to increase the permitted required rear yard lot coverage percentage for accessory
buildings and structures in residence districts,” which provides as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. OF 2023
A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code §330-77 to increase the permitted required rear yard
lot coverage percentage for accessory buildings and structures in residence districts.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows:
SECTION 1. Legislative Intent
Currently, not only does the Town Code limit the placement of accessory buildings and/or
structures, but it also only allows 20% of the required rear yard for a main or principal
building to be covered by such buildings and structures. This calculation factors in all
accessory buildings and structures including, but not limited to, pools, tennis courts, and
decks and patios greater than 12 inches above grade. In an effort to encourage the
placement of such accessory buildings/structures in the required rear yard in conforming
locations rather than to cause property owners to seek side yard variances, this amendment
proposes to increase the permitted percentage of rear yard lot coverage.
SECTION 2. Amendment.
Town Code §330-77 is hereby amended by adding those words that are underlined and to
deleting those words that are stricken through as follows:
§330-77. Placement of accessory buildings, structures and uses in residence
districts.
D. Accessory buildings and/or structures to be located or constructed in any residential
zone in the required rear yard for a main or principal building shall not occupy more
than 20 50% of such required rear yard, except for the area of the footprint
associated with a ground-mount energy system having a minimum output of five
kilowatts and decks and patios within 12 inches of grade. The total lot coverage shall
not exceed the maximum lot coverage provided in §330-11.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of this local law, or the application thereof to
any person, firm, or corporation, or circumstance, shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not
affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to

ADOPTED DOC ID: 43157
Coordinate Lead Agency for a Supplemental Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) for the siting and
construction of a Community Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in
the Hamlet of Riverside
WHEREAS, in 2015 following public hearings and the preparation of a Generic EIS in
accordance with Section 617.10 of 6 NYCRR (SEQRA), the Southampton Town Board as
Lead Agency by resolution 2015-1227 accepted the Final GEIS and filed A Notice of
Completion for Publication in the Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB) as prescribed in
SEQRA (6 NYCRR) Section § 617.12; and
WHEREAS, subsequently the Riverside Overlay District (ROD) Zoning Amendments were
adopted into Chapter 330 of the Town Code of the Town of Southampton; and
WHEREAS, as identified in the GEIS, in order to implement the zoning and realize the
development plan for Riverside, the construction of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and
creation of a Capital Improvement/Sewer District is necessary; and
WHEREAS, in anticipation of this, the Town of Southampton has worked with New York
State's Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) to evaluate an Engineering Report that is
required in order to formulate a sewer district to identify and describe information including
but not limited to the specific details of the siting and design details for the plant, pump
stations, wells, clearing of land, infrastructure plan and required easements and economic
considerations; and
WHEREAS, the original GEIS did not contain the specific details of the required STP as
denoted above since the Town has been acquiring multiple parcels for this purpose,
therefore the Town Board has determined that a Supplemental Generic Environmental
Impact Statement (SGEIS) is needed and since there are several additional agencies with
oversight such as the NYS Pine Barrens Joint Planning Commission and the NYSDEC, the
Town Board is re-coordinating Lead Agency pursuant to SEQRA; and

ADOPTED DOC ID:44837
Notice of Public Hearing to Consider Amending Town Code
Chapter 330 (Zoning) to Establish Standards and Setbacks for
Pickleball Courts
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Southampton hereby directs that a public
hearing shall be held on December 12, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., both in-person, at
Southampton Town Hall, 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, New York, and via
videoconferencing, to hear any and all persons either for against a local law entitled, "A
LOCAL LAW to consider amending Town Code Chapter 330 (Zoning) to establish standards
and setbacks for pickleball courts," which provides as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. _ OF 2023
A LOCAL LAW to consider amending Town Code Chapter 330 (Zoning) to establish standards
and setbacks for pickleball courts.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows:
SECTION 1. Legislative Intent.
With the rapidly growing increase in popularity of pickleball, and in response to complaints
about the noise generated from such courts, this amendment proposes to establish a
minimum setback of 50 feet for the construction of new pickleball courts and to mandate
that such courts be located within the required rear yard in order to mitigate any possible
impact on adjacent properties. This proposed setback is considerable since the current side
and rear yard setbacks for accessory buildings and structures range from 8 feet (R-10) to
50 feet (CR-200). Alternatively, in most zoning districts, this amendment permits a 30 foot
setback for a pickleball court in the required rear yard, but requires both sinking the court
and providing sound-attenuation walls to help buffer any noise. Lastly, this proposed
amendment provides guidance for the conversion of existing tennis and sports courts into
pickleball courts using similar standards and setbacks.
SECTION 2. Amendment.
Town Code §330-5 is hereby amended by adding the underlined words alphabetically as
follows:
PICKLEBALL COURT
A structure wholly or partially outdoors constructed on the around consisting of a playing
area of whatever composition used to engage in the game of pickleball. A backstop, if
constructed consistent of netting fencing or similar material and designed to prevent the
passage of play balls shall also be part of a pickleball court.
SECTION 3. Amendment.
Town Code §330-76 is hereby amended by adding the underlined words as follows:
§330-76 Placement of accessory buildings, structures, and uses in all districts.
N. Pickleball courts.
Generated 11/20/2023 Page 10
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of November 14, 2023
1. New pickleball courts are permitted within the required rear yard with a
minimum 50 foot setback from all property lines.
2. Except in the CR-200 Zoning District a new pickleball court is permitted
within the required rear yard with a minimum 30 foot setback from all
property lines subject to the following standards: (a) shall be sunken at least
four feet when measured from the lowest adjacent existing grade; and (b)
shall be surrounded on three sides by a six-foot, sound-attenuation wall,
placed no further than 10 feet from the edge of the court, constructed of a
minimum of 3/4-inch solid boards, and with the middle section of the wall on
the court side closest to the nearest adjoining property line.
3. The conversion of a legally existing tennis court or sports court into a
pickleball court is permitted if the existing court is located a minimum of 50
feet from all property lines.
4. Except in the CR-200 Zoning District the conversion of a legally existing
tennis court or sports court into a pickleball court is permitted with a
minimum 30 foot setback: (a) so long as the court is at least four feet below
grade with a solid noise barrier of at least 3/4 inch thick six feet high installed
along the length of the two sides of the court closest to the property lines; or
(b) if the court is at grade a solid noise barrier at least 3/4 inch thick, eight
feet high must be installed along the length of three sides of the court, with
the middle section of the wall on the court side closest to the nearing
adjoining property line.
SECTION 4. Amendment.
The proposed local law is enacted pursuant to Town Law Article 16, as well as Municipal
Home Rule Law §§10(1)(ii)(a)(11) and (12)
SECTION 5. Severability.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of this local law, or the application thereof to
any person, firm, or corporation, or circumstance, shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not
affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to
the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this Local Law, or in its application
to the person, individual, firm, or corporation or circumstance, directly involved in the
controversy in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
SECTION 6. Effective Date.
This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State pursuant
to Municipal Home Rule Law.
AND BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Southampton hereby directs the
Town Clerk to forward a copy of this proposed local law to the Southampton Town Planning
Board, as well as the Suffolk County Planning Commission pursuant to General Municipal
Law §239-m, for their review and recommendations; and be it further
