Re: Hamlet Study Implementation
The Town Board and I welcome your involvement with the
implementation of the Town of South old 2005 Hamlet Study. Thank
you for volunteering your time and energy to transform a static
document into the reality of community focused planning.
Community participation is a critical element in defining a vision for
the Town's future.
The March 26th kick-off meeting highlighted some questions and
concerns regarding your participation and expectations. In response
to those comments, this Implementation Workbook has been
developed by the Planning Department and the Special Projects
Coordinator to assist your efforts.
Thank you again for your efforts and if I, or any Town staff, can assist
you in any way, please do not hesitate to ask.

Tasks and Processes
.
.
The following tasks and processes will need to be accomplished to facilitate the
implementation of the Hamlet Study. This outline is provided as a guide and does not
limit stakeholders to other areas of involvement. While the Planning Board will provide
concrete timeframes, the description of tasks below will give you a frame of reference of
how long the implementation will be. Projected tasks are as follows:
· Attend Planning Board meetings as scheduled
· Attend meetings amongst stakeholders to formulate ways to achieve tasks
outlined in the Implementation Workbook
· Elect (re-elect) chairs/co-chairs for your reconfigured group
· Schedule open forum meetings with your community to share hamlet
implementation ideas. This is best achieved by scheduling meetings within your
hamlet (library, firehouse, etc.) on the same day and time so it is
"institutionalized" within your community.
· Meet with cultural facilities and business communities to share hamlet
implementation ideas (libraries, historical societies, Chambers of Commerce,
etc.)
· Meet with Housing Advisory Commission members to discuss potential site
selections for affordable housing and senior housing
· Provide feedback of meetings to the Planning Board at scheduled work sessions
· Prioritize projects of hamlet study implementation provided in the Implementation
Workbook
· If warranted, write an addendum to the 2005 Hamlet Study
· Complete an evaluation of the 2007 Hamlet Study Implementation
.

.
~ 280-12. Purpose.
The purpose ofthe Agricultural-Conservation (A-C) District and the Low-Density Residential
R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts is to reasonably control and, to the extent possible,
prevent the unnecessary loss of those currently open lands within the Town containing large and
contiguous areas of prime agricultural soils which are the basis for a significant portion of the
Town's economy and those areas with sensitive environmental features, including aquifer
recharge areas and bluffs. In addition, these areas provide the open rural environment so highly
valued by year-round residents and those persons who support the Town of Southold's recreation,
resort and second-home economy. The economic, social and aesthetic benefits which can be
obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of such areas are well documented and have inspired a
host of governmental programs designed, with varying degrees of success, to achieve this result.
For its part, the Town is expending large sums of money to protect existing farm acreage. At the
same time, the Town has an obligation to exercise its authority to reasonably regulate the
subdivision and development of this land to further the same purposes while honoring the
legitimate interests of farmers and other farmland owners.
