§ 236-13.
Performance Standards for Approval of Erosion, Sedimentation and Stormwater
Runoff Control Plans.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - March 27, 2007
Page 13
a) The site erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff control measures shall be
appropriate for existing topography, vegetation and other salient natural features of the
site. The plan shall indicate that the development will preserve natural features, minimize
grading and cut and fill operations, ensure conformity with natural topography, and retain
natural vegetation and trees to the maximum extent practicable in order to create
the least erosion potential and handle adequately the volume and rate or velocity, of
surface water runoff.
b) Site grading, excavation and filling shall minimize destruction of natural vegetation, the
potential for erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff and the threat to the health,
safety and welfare of neighboring property owners and the general public.
c) Erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff shall be controlled prior to, during, and
after site preparation and construction. During grading operations, appropriate measures
for dust control shall be undertaken.
d) Areas exposed by site preparation shall be protected during site construction with hay
bales, temporary vegetation and/or mulching to meet the requirements of the NYS DEC
SPDES Program in effect.
e) Natural drainage patterns shall be protected and incorporated into site design. Where
natural drainage patterns are demonstrated to be adversely affecting a beach or wetland,
drainage patterns may be altered in a manner which reduces the threat to such beach or
wetland and does not create other flooding or erosion problems.
f) Site preparation, including stripping of vegetative cover and grading, shall be undertaken
so that no individual building site is stripped of its vegetation cover more than thirty (30)
days prior to commencement of construction. Soils exposed or disturbed by site
preparation shall remain so for the shortest practical period of time during site clearing,
construction and restoration.
g) Disturbed soils shall be stabilized and revegetated or seeded as soon as practicable.
During the interim, erosion protection measures such as temporary vegetation, retention
ponds, recharge basins, berming, silt traps and mulching shall be used to ensure that
sedimentation is minimized and mitigated.
h) In no case shall stormwater be diverted to another property either during site preparation
or after development. In appropriate cases, with the approval of the Superintendent of
Highways, drainage control measures may be implemented in the right of way attendant
to an adjacent Town highway, at the applicant’s expense.
i) During the construction period, disposal of stormwater runoff generated by development
activity shall be handled on-site. Baling, mulching, debris basins, silt traps, use of fibrous
cover materials or similar measures shall be used to contain soil erosion on the site.
j) All projects, regardless of the area of groundwater removal and/or grading, shall retain a
natural vegetative buffer zone along waterbodies, including wetlands and marshes, if one
is imposed by the Board of Trustees. If necessary, other forms of erosion control
measures will also be included.
k) Natural land features such as shallow depressions shall be used, wherever possible, to
collect stormwater on-site for recharge.
l) Site designs shall minimize impermeable paving.
m) Stormwater runoff shall not be directly discharged to surface waters, marshes and
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - March 27, 2007
Page 14
wetlands. Stormwater pollutants shall not be discharged directly into a wetland, but shall
be attenuated by using holding ponds, sedimentation basins, perimeter berming,
vegetated buffer areas and other measures that reduce flow velocity and increase storage
time. Pollutants shall not be discharged into wetlands. In addition, any filtering devices
constructed as part of the drainage system must be adequately maintained in order to
function properly.
n) All wetland vegetation shall be maintained. Dredging and site construction should not
disturb wetlands either by direct removal of vegetation or substrate, or by the alteration of
adjacent slopes that would undermine the stability of the substrate unless permission is
obtained from the Board of Trustees. Grading equipment shall not be allowed to enter
into or cross any watercourse or wetland.
o) Subsurface sediments shall be maintained to provide structural support for the soils of the
wetlands.
p) The elevation of a wetland shall not be altered.
q) No vegetation required by any agency as a buffer to a natural protective feature shall be
disturbed by grading, erosion, sedimentation, or direct removal of vegetation.
r) Fill shall not encroach on natural watercourses, constructed channels, wetlands, or
floodway areas. All fill shall be compacted at a final angle of repose which provides
stability for the material, minimizes erosion and prevents settlement.
s) Trails and walking paths along waterbodies shall be sited and constructed so they are not
a source of sediment subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.
t) The amount and velocity of runoff from a site after development shall approximate its
predevelopment characteristics. However, if the site is adjacent to coastal waters, storm
water shall be contained on-site, to the maximum extent practicable, to prevent direct
discharge of runoff to coastal waters.
u) Natural flood plains and major drainage swales shall not be altered or disturbed in a
manner which decreases their ability to accommodate and channel stormwater runoff and
flood waters. If no practicable alternative to the location of development, roadway,
driveways, and similar surfaces within these areas exists, such facilities shall be sited and
constructed to minimize and mitigate the amount and velocity of stormwater entering the
channel, floodplain or swale and to approximate the original functions of the undisturbed
condition.
v) No land having a slope equal to or greater than twenty (20) percent shall be developed or
disturbed except for conservation measures or measures intended to remove debris which
inhibits the functioning of the swale, except accessways to shorelines approved by the
Board of Trustees shall be permitted. Natural vegetation and topography shall be retained
To stabilize soils and reduce the volume of stormwater overflow.
w) On lands having slopes of less than twenty (20) percent, but composed of highly erodible
soils, development proposals shall include consideration of the load-bearing capacity of
the soils. Unless it can be demonstrated that the soils can be stabilized with a minimum of
on-site disturbance and no adverse impacts to the stability of neighboring properties, the
development proposal shall not be approved as submitted.
x) All permanent (final) vegetation and mechanical erosion control measures called for in
approved plans shall be installed within the time limits specified by the Building
Inspector, and no later than the expiration of the municipal permit issued therewith.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - March 27, 2007
Page 15
§ 236-14.
Approved Plans.
Plans approved by the Building Inspector in conjunction with the issuance of a Drainage Control
Permit shall also be filed with the County Clerk indicating that such plans are binding as against
future purchasers, granting the Town permission to enter the property for compliance
enforcement purposes, and containing a summary of the plan’s requirements.
§ 236-15.
Variances.
A variance may be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Southold upon
receipt of an application from a property owner which meets the criteria for an area variance set
forth in §267-a of the Town Law.
§ 236-16.
Inspection, Restoration, Certificate of Occupancy and Fines.
a) Inspection
Inspection for soil erosion, sedimentation, and runoff control plan compliance shall be
conducted by the Building Inspector to determine that the work has been completed in
accordance with such plan. The plan may be modified by mutual agreement if, during or
after installation, the Building Inspector deems that the installed measures are not
adequate to meet the performance standards or if alternatives would better meet the
Code requirements. If no agreement is reached, the Building Inspector may require the
submission of a modified plan in order to maintain compliance with this local law.
b) Restoration.
Any clearing, excavation or development of land in violation of this local law shall be
corrected forthwith after written notice by the Building Inspector. In the event that
corrective action is not taken as directed within a reasonable time, the Town may, at its
own expense, take corrective action to restore the property or initiate legal action to
prevent unlawful or unauthorized activity. The cost of restoration shall become a lien
upon the property upon which such unlawful activity occurred.
c) Certificate of Occupancy.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Building Inspector until all work
required to be completed pursuant to the plan has been satisfactorily done.
d) Fines.
Any responsible party undertaking clearing, excavation or development of land in
violation of this local law, or falsifying information in connection with the requirements
of this Local Law, upon conviction, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a
fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500) and not more than two thousand dollars
($2,000). Such person shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each day during
which a violation of this local law is committed or continues.
e) Enforcement.

and is located on the westerly side of Dogwood Lane approximately 444 feet from the
intersection of Dogwood Lane and Kenney’s Road in Southold in the R-40 zoning district. The
proposed acquisition is for a conservation easement and is approximately 0.2 acre (subject to
survey).
A conservation easement on this property has been offered for sale to the Town of Southold. The
purchase price is $2,500.00 (two thousand five hundred dollars). The easement will be acquired

protection, will retain scenic open space, and will reduce residential density in an
environmentally sensitive area.
As per Chapter 117 (Transfer of Development Rights) of the Code of the Town of Southold,
Section 117-5, the Land Preservation Coordinator and the Town Board have reviewed the
acquisition and have determined that the property is eligible for the transfer of a sanitary flow
credit; however, the landowner has requested that this transfer not take place so therefore
sanitary flow credits will not be transferred from this property.

owned electricity generator, unless the applicant does not plan, and so states in the
application, to connect the system to the electricity grid.
§277-3. Development standards.
a. Tower Height. Tower height shall not exceed one-hundred twenty (120) feet.
To prevent harmful wind turbulence to the small wind energy system, the minimum
height of the lowest part of any horizontal axis wind turbine blade shall be at least 30 feet
above the highest structure or tree within a 250 foot radius. Modification of this standard
may be made when the applicant demonstrates that a lower height will not jeopardize the
safety of the wind turbine structure.
b. Set-backs. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Bulk Schedule, the following
standards shall apply to Small Wind Energy Systems:
i. A small wind energy system shall be set back from a property line a
distance no less than the total height of small wind energy system plus ten (10)

showing compliance with the Uniform Building Code and certified by a licensed
professional engineer shall also be submitted. This requirement may be satisfied by
documentation presented by the manufacturer.
f. Compliance with National Electric Code. Building permit applications for small
wind energy systems shall be accompanied by a line drawing of the electrical
components in sufficient detail to allow for a determination that the manner of
installation conforms to the National Electrical Code. This requirement may be satisfied

with applicable FAA regulations, including any necessary approvals for installations
close to airports. The allowed height shall be reduced to comply with all applicable
Federal Aviation Requirements, including Subpart B (commencing with Section 77.11)
of Part 77 of Title 14 of the code of Federal Regulations regarding installations close to
airports.
h. Utility Notification. No small wind energy system shall be installed until

WHEREAS
, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County, New York, on the 27th day of February, 2007, a Local Law entitled “A Local Law in
relation to Amendments to the Merger Law” and
WHEREAS
the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid
Local Law at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now,
therefor be it
RESOLVED
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby ENACTS the proposed
Local Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to Amendments to the Merger Law” reads as
follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 9 of 2007
A Local Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to Amendments to the Merger Law”.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - March 27, 2007
Page 45
I.Purpose – The Town Board has received substantial public comment to the effect that the Town
of Southold merger law, as currently constituted, unfairly subjects surviving spouses and other
joint owners of property to the loss of the single and separate status of their adjoining properties
merely by the death of one such joint owner. Insamuch as the Town Board believes this result is
unjust and not the intended consequence of the merger law, it believes it necessary to provide for
a limited exception to the merger of such properties.
II.Chapter 280 of the Town Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
§ 280-10. Merger.
A. Merger. A nonconforming lot shall merge with an adjacent conforming or nonconforming lot
which has been held in common ownership with the first lot at any time after July 1, 1983.
An adjacent lot is one which abuts with the parcel for a common course of 50 feet or more in
distance. Nonconforming lots shall merge until the total lot size conforms to the current bulk
schedule requirements.
B. Definitions. "Common ownership" shall mean that the parcel is held by the same person in
the same percentage of ownership as an adjoining parcel.
C. Exceptions. Lots which are recognized under § 280-9 and meet any of the following
categories shall be exempt from the merger provision set forth above and shall not be
deemed merged by operation of this chapter:
(1) The nonconforming lot has a minimum size of 40,000 square feet, or
(2) The nonconforming lot obtained a lot size variance from the Zoning Board, or
