there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
“Temporary
County, New York, on the 1st day of July, 2008, a Local Law entitled,
Moratorium on the Processing, Review of, and making Decisions on applications for
Building Permits, Site Plans and Special Exception Use Permits for Wireless
Communication Facilities in the Town of Southold”

”
reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. _ __ of 2008
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - July 1, 2008
Page 17
Temporary Moratorium on the Processing, Review of, and making
A Local Law entitled, “
Decisions on applications for Building Permits, Site Plans and Special Exception Use
Permits for Wireless Communication Facilities in the Town of Southold
”.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Town Board is considering the important implications of the recent proliferation of
wireless communication facilities projects within the Town, including already constructed cell
towers, towers currently under Town review and proposed cell tower projects. The Town Board
believes that a haphazard, piecemeal approach to the proliferation of such towers could be
detrimental to the character of the Town, including its active farmland, open spaces, scenic
byways and vistas, all of which the Town has expended substantial resources to preserve,
cultivate and maintain. The Town Board recognizes that the existing Zoning Code is inadequate
to deal with the inherent conflict between the need for cell towers, for emergency and other
communication purposes, and the Town’s other planning goals.
The size and scale of the Town, the scale of its agricultural and rural history, and the
long-range goals of the Town (as set forth in the recently adopted Hamlet Study and other past
planning studies) dictate that wireless communication facilities should be placed in a strategic
manner so as to coexist as peacefully as possible with the Town’s historical, agricultural and
rural culture. Regulations on the size, location and appearance of wireless communication
facilities are necessary to address the problems these structures create.
On July 31, 2007, the Town of Southold adopted a 180-day moratorium on all new
wireless communication facilities. The Town Board intended to use the time to formulate a
comprehensive plan for wireless facilities, to review the locations, size and appearance of cell
towers, and to update and create new legislation to comprehensively meet the long-range goals
of the Town. During the initial moratorium period, the Town retained a new Director of the
Planning Department. The Director solicited proposals from several wireless consultants to
assist the Town with the aforementioned plan. The Town Board retained one of the consultants
to work with the Town. In January 2008, the Town Board extended the moratorium an additional
180 days. It was anticipated that the report and recommendations of the consultant would be
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - July 1, 2008
Page 18
finalized in the Spring, however the Town presently has only a draft that includes
recommendations on code amendments. The Town Board and the Planning staff will require
additional time to review the draft recommendations, hold a public hearing on proposed code
amendments and enact a Local Law. It is anticipated that this can be accomplished with an
additional one hundred and eighty (180) day extension of the moratorium.
The Town Board finds it reasonable and in the public interest to extend the moratorium
period for one additional one hundred and eighty (180) days beyond the expiration period. This
will provide the Town adequate time to examine the consultant recommendations, and draft and
adopt necessary code amendments.
II. A new Article XXX of Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby enacted as
follows:
ARTICLE XXX
Moratorium
§280-165. Enactment of Temporary Moratorium.
For a period of One Hundred Eighty (180) Days following the effective date of

of the Town of Southold.
2) The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not accept for review, continue review,
hold a hearing on, continue a hearing or make any decision upon any
application for a special exception use permit containing a WIRELESS

§280-167. Exclusions.
This Local Law shall not apply to:
1) Site plans for which final or conditional final approval was granted
by the Planning Board prior to the effective date of this Local Law.
2) Applications for co-location of wireless telecommunication facilities
inside a permitted tower, with no component parts visible from the exterior.
§280-168. Conflict with State Statutes and Authority to Supersede.
To the extent that any provisions of this Local Law are in conflict with or are
construed as inconsistent with the provisions of New York State Town Law, this Local Law
supersedes, amends and takes precedence over NYS Town Law pursuant to the Town’s
municipal home rule powers, pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law §10(1)(ii)(d)(3);
§10(1)(ii)(a)(14) and §22 to supersede any inconsistent authority.
In particular, to the extent and degree any provisions of this Local Law are
construed as being inconsistent with the provisions of Town Law §274-a, §274-b and the
provisions and requirements set forth in Chapter 280 of the Southold Town Code, which require
that the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals process, review, hold hearings on, and act
upon applications for site plans and special exception use permits within specified time periods,
this Local Law suspends and stays the running of time periods for processing, review, holding
hearings on, making decisions, and taking action on such applications provided for in those laws
and is intended to supersede and amend any said inconsistent authority.
§280-169. Appeal Procedures.
a. The Town Board shall have the authority to vary or waive the application
of any provision of this Local Law if, in its legislative discretion, upon its determination, the
variance or waiver is required to alleviate an extraordinary hardship affecting a parcel of
property. To grant such request, the Town Board must find that a variance or waiver will not
adversely affect the purpose of this Local Law, the health, safety or welfare of the Town of
Southold, or any comprehensive planning efforts being undertaken in the Town. The Town
Board shall take into account the existing land use in the immediate vicinity of the property, the
range of business opportunities in the vicinity of the property and the surrounding hamlet, the
rural, cultural, historic and business character of the hamlet, and the impact of the variance or
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - July 1, 2008
Page 21
waiver on the open and recreational space, and transportation infrastructure of the Town. The
application must comply with all other applicable provisions of the Southold Town Code.

application, along with copies of the site development plan and any related information required
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 280 of the Southold Town Code.
c. All such applications shall, within five (5) days of filing with the Town
Clerk be referred to the Planning Board, which shall have ten (10) days following receipt to

application and recommendation shall be transmitted to the Town Board. The Town Board may
conduct a public hearing and make a final decision on the application, with or without
conditions. Final approval is reserved to the absolute legislative discretion of the Town Board.
III. SEVERABILITY
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by
any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this
law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.

the Code of the Town of Southold
WHEREAS
there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
“A Local Law in Relation
County, New York on the 1st day of July, 2008, a Local Law entitled
to amendments to Inclusionary Zoning requirements in the Code of the Town of Southold”,
now, therefore, be it
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - July 1, 2008
Page 28
RESOLVED
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public hearing on the
aforesaid Local Law at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold New York on the
29th day of July, 2008 at 4:40 p.m., at which time all interested persons will be given an
opportunity to be heard.
“A Local Law in Relation to amendments to Inclusionary Zoning
This proposed
requirements in the Code of the Town of Southold”,
reads as follows:
Local Law No. _________
Section 1.
Purpose- The Town Board of the Town of Southold enacted legislation in 2004
requiring developers of a standard subdivision to include provisions for affordable housing in the
subdivision. Since that time, no affordable homes have been built pursuant to the requirement, as
developers have pursued other options. This Town Board has taken a hard look at the original
legislation, and considered feedback from the Planning Department in preparing these
amendments. The purpose of this legislation is to advance the goal of increasing housing
opportunities for families and individuals in the Town of Southold, while at the same time
providing greater flexibility for the subdivision applicant so that these goals can be realized. The
law will reduce the required set-aside to 20% to be more consistent with the national standard.
The law will allow for a buy-out of the requirement, with the funds being deposited into the
Housing Fund to create housing opportunities elsewhere in Town. One possible option would be
the provision of loans from the buy-out funds to assist residents to buy into existing housing
stock. The law provides for phasing of construction to ensure that homes required to be built
pursuant to the requirement are actually constructed, and are of the same appearance and quality
of other homes in the subdivision.
This Local Law changes the “priority” groups used to determine eligibility for the Town housing
programs. It increases the residency requirement to three years, and provides additional priority
groups for age-restricted (age 55 and over) affordable housing administered through the Town.
The original legislation was prompted by the rapid escalation of real estate prices (129% increase
in five years). Although the escalation of home sales has abated, the Town Board finds that
affordable housing is still a crisis for local residents. Suffolk Research Services, Inc. reported
that the median sales price for single-family homes in the Town of Southold was $510,000 for
2007 and decreased to $485,000 for the first quarter of 2008.
The decrease is likely partially attributable to the sale of 22 below-market homes in The
Cottages. There are currently more than 300 households on the Town’s housing registry.
Incomes of local residents in need of affordable housing have not kept pace with housing prices,
despite their decline. The Town Board finds that these changes are necessary to further the goals
of providing a range of affordable housing within the Town.

Section 2.Code Amendment.
Chapter 240 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby
amended as follows:
§ 240-10 B. (2) Standard Subdivision.
(c) Affordable housing requirement. Every new standard residential subdivision involving
the creation of five or more lots shall comply with the requirements herein to provide affordable
housing.
Twenty
[1] Twenty-five percent of the lot yield as determined pursuant to § 240-
10B(2)(a) and (b) shall be set aside as moderate-income family dwelling units (MIFDU),
as defined, created and administered under the provisions of the Affordable Housing
District, §§ 280-24 through 280-33 of this Code. Each MIFDU shall be created subject to
covenants and restrictions as set forth at § 280-30 or through another mechanism
approved by the Town Board that will keep units perpetually affordable. The number of
MIFDU units required in a subdivision shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
[2] Upon application to the Planning Board, the requirement to build 20% of the
total number of units as MIFDUs in the subdivision may be waived. This
requirement may be waived only upon applicant’s choosing any one or combination
of the following options pursuant to a plan that is acceptable to the Planning Board
and furthers the goals for creating a variety of affordable housing opportunities
within the Town.
In satisfaction of the requirement to create 25% MIFDU units, the standard subdivision
applicant shall be required to construct no less than 10% of the total yield as MIFDU
units in the subdivision. All subdivisions shall have at least one constructed MIFDU unit
within the subdivision. The remaining required units shall be provided by the applicant in
any of the following ways:
[a] The applicant may construct dwelling units in the subdivision equal in
number to the remaining percentage, thereby providing a total of 25% of the yield
of the subdivision as MIFDU units. If this option is chosen, the applicant will
receive an increased density of one additional lot per MIFDU lot created in excess
of 10% under this option. The additional lots shall be built in the subdivision and
shall be MIFDU units. For each additional lot created as part of the increased
density pursuant to this option, the developer shall pay a sum representing the cost
of development rights equal to the number of additional units created. This sum
shall be set annually by Town Board resolution and shall be based on the average
cost of development rights purchased by the Town in the previous year. The
resolution in effect at the time of the preliminary plat hearing shall determine the
sum to be paid under this section. This amount shall be paid to the Community
Preservation Fund to be used according to the terms of the Fund. Alternatively, in
lieu of payment, the developer may extinguish an equivalent number of
development rights on another parcel in Town, in a form approved by the Town
Attorney.

WHEREAS A PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD ON July 1, 2008 at which time all interested
persons were given the opportunity to be heard thereon, now therefore be it
RESOLVED
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby enacts the following Local
Law:
Local Law No. __6______of 2008
BE IT ENACTED, by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
Section 1
. Legislative Intent.
This Local Law proposes to change the zoning designation on a property that formerly was
operated as a restaurant and inn. This historic use has been discontinued and the property has
become deteriorated. The Hamlet Business zoning was applied to allow the inn to continue to
operate, but such zoning designation is properly intended for higher-intensity commercial use in
the hamlet business center. The subject property is embedded in a residential community far
from the hamlet center. The Planning Board reviewed the zoning on the property, and
recommends this amendment. The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive planning
practiced in the Town, and serves to prevent the property from being developed in a manner
incompatible with our planning efforts and the surrounding land uses.
Section 2
. Enactment.
Based on the goals and identified needs of the Town, and upon our consideration of the
recommendation of the Planning Board, the environmental consultant retained by the Town and
the public comment taken at the public hearing, we hereby change the zoning district designation
for the parcel known as SCTM# 1000-89-3-1.1 from Hamlet Business (HB) and Agricultural
Conservation (AC) to R-80. The property is approximately 3.4 acres and is located on the site of
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - July 1, 2008
Page 43
the former General Wayne Inn, Cedar Beach Road, Southold, New York.
Section 3.
The zoning map as adopted by section 100-21 of the Town Code of the Town of
Southold is hereby amended to reflect the change of zoning district designation for said parcel.
Section 4. Severability
. If any section or subsection, paragraph, clause, phrase or provision of
this law shall be adjudged invalid or held unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction,
any judgment made thereby shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof
other than the part or provision so adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. Effective Date.
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the
Secretary of State.

§72-11. Variance Procedures.
Any farm stand that is found not to meet the requirements of this Article may appeal such
decision or seek a variance therefrom with the Zoning Board of Appeals. In addressing the
merits of any variance application, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall consider the benefit to the
applicant if the variance is granted, as weighed against the detriment to the health, safety and
welfare of the community by such grant, in further consideration of (1) whether an undesirable
change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties
will be created by the granting of the variance; (2) whether the benefit sought by the applicant
can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than a variance; (3)
whether the requested variance is substantial; (4) whether the proposed variance will have an
adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district; and (5) whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be
relevant to the decision of the board of appeals, but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of
the variance.
§72-12. Penalties for Offenses.
Any violation of this Article shall be grounds for the revocation of an existing farm stand permit.
Furthermore, any violator of this Article shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation
punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment not to exceed 15 days, or both. Each
day on which such violation shall occur shall constitute a separate, additional offense as
permitted by law. For a second and subsequent conviction within 18 months thereafter, such
person shall be guilty of a violation punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,500 or imprisonment
not to exceed 15 days, or both.
