Enact LL 9 Inclusionary Zoning
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”,
a
nd
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
RESOLVEDENACTS
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby the proposed
“A Local Law in Relation to amendments to Inclusionary Zoning
Local Law entitled
requirements in the Code of the Town of Southold”,
reads as follows:
Local Law No. _9__ 2008
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.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 12, 2008
Page 5
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
if
MIFDU units required in a subdivision shall be rounded up to the next whole number
the fractional requirement is .50 or greater, and shall be rounded down to the next
whole number if the fractional requirement is less than .50.
[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
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 12, 2008
Page 6
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.
[ab] The applicant shall pay a sum to the Town of Southold Housing Fund. The
sum shall be based on the number of required MIFDU lots not constructed in the
subdivision. The per unit sum shall be set annually by resolution of the Town
,
Board and shall consider factors such as the average cost of building lots and
and median income
costs of construction in the Town of Southold.
[b] The applicant may build all of the units in another location within the
Town of Southold.
[c] The applicant may provide property with development rights equal to the
number of the required MIFDU units not constructed in the subdivision, to the
Town of Southold Housing Fund, North Fork Housing Alliance, Community
Land Trust of Southold Town, or other similar organization approved by the
Town Board for the sole purpose of developing affordable housing on the site.
The property must be acceptable to the recipient as a viable site for affordable
housing development, and proof of same must be provided to the Planning Board
during preliminary plat review.
this is chosen and a waiver of the requirement to build
[d] If the option
MIFDUs in the subdivision is approved,
provided in Subsection B(2)(c)[2][b]
or [c] is chosen, the applicant may build any remaining allowed lots in the
subdivision, and they shall not be required to be MIFDU units.
[3] Fee Waiver. An applicant shall receive a waiver of all application fees,
building permit fees, plan review fees, inspection fees, park and playground fees and
such other development fees and costs attributable to the MIFDUs built in the
subdivision. A waiver may not be granted for Sanitary Flow Credits purchased
pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 117.
[4] Phasing of Construction. The applicant shall provide to the Planning Board a
phasing plan that provides for the timely and integrated development of the
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 12, 2008
Page 7
affordable housing units as the subdivision is built out. The phasing plan shall
provide for the development of the MIFDUs concurrently with the market rate
units. Building permits shall be issued for dwelling units within the subdivision
based on the phasing plan. The phasing plan may be adjusted by the Planning
Board when necessary in order to account for different financing and funding
environments, economies of scale, and infrastructure needs applicable to the
development of the market rate and the MIFDUs. The phasing plan shall also
provide that the MIFDUs shall not be the last units to be developed in the applicable
subdivision.
[5] Exterior Appearance. The exterior appearance of the MIFDUs shall be
visually compatible with the market rate units in the development. External
building materials and finishes shall be substantially the same in type and quality
for MIFDUs and market rate units.
[6] Appeal. A developer of any project subject to the requirements of this
chapter may appeal to the Town Board for a reduction, adjustment or waiver of the
requirements based upon the absence of any reasonable relationship or nexus
between the impact of the development and either the amount of fee charged or the
inclusionary requirement.

Pump-Out Boat/Employee Earnings
Fiscal Impact:
Due to a major mechanical engine breakdown, the Greenport pump-out boat has been out of service since
June 26, 2008. Trustee David Bergen agreed to have our boat service on a limited basis the waters of
Greenport Village in return for no charge for any effluent discharge between June 26th and when the
Greenport boat was back in service. The Southold boat operators showed self-initiative making the
decision to spend extra hours in the Village waters, resulting in overtime charges. Once Trustee David
Bergen was made aware of this, he communicated with both Greenport and our operators that unless they
received authorization in advance, they could not work more than 17 hours per week. Trustee David
Bergen would recommend that the funds required to cover the overtime be taken from the effluent
discharge line.

Budget Modification - SWMD
Fiscal Impact:
PROPOSED BUDGET MODS ARE INTENDED TO COVER COSTS FOR THESE ITEMS THROUGH
2008. Diesel Fuel and Electric are significantly higher than budgeted. The budget for Town Garbage
Bags is depleted due to surcharges for plastic resin, as a result of rising oil costs, approved in the
contractor’s bid in 2007. Storage space rental will reduce current year costs for handling bag inventory
(as well as through August 2009).
MSW Removal costs are running somewhat under projections. The remainder in this line may still be
sufficient to cover 2008 charges.

Small Parcel Preservation Policy
RESOLVED adopts the following
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby
“Small Parcel Preservation Policy” as a guiding document for use by the Land
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 12, 2008
Page 24
Preservation Committee in their review of proposed acquisitions.
Town of Southold Small Parcel Preservation Policy:
1. Intent:
Typically Southold’s program focuses on large sub-dividable parcels; but,
preservation of certain small parcels may have significant environmental benefit or
aesthetic value and may even define a neighborhood. Such small parcels are worthy of
preservation and should be pursued when it appears that criteria in this policy can be met.
??
A small parcel is defined as generally less than about 40,000 square feet total, but
may be more if non-subdividable or has a large portion of unbuildable area.
??
Preservation of small lots shall be guided by the special guidance that follows as well
(1)
as the Town’s general policy for land preservation.
2. Criteria, in addition to agreeable cost and general land preservation criteria:
The Town will consider small lots offered for preservation if:
a) Acquisition creates public access to navigable water or the littoral zone, or --
b) Significant environmental, scenic, aesthetic, historic or public health benefit to the
townspeople is demonstrated. Such benefit to be demonstrated by the Town’s
natural resources professional, the Town Historian or Town Engineer (drainage) as
applicable, or an equivalent outsourced capability.
3. When Town preservation is indicated:
Preservation may be by purchase of development rights (conservation or other type of
easement) or by outright purchase (fee simple or bargain sale). Gifts may be by either
mode.
a) Purchase of Development Rights:
In the case of purchase of development rights, a
clear severance of all development rights on the entire parcel is preferred in the
interest of simplicity and minimization of Town costs. At minimum, the Town is to
receive an easement stating that no residential structure or accessory structure, or
structure accessory to contiguous land, will be placed upon the parcel; except on the
upland portion where a minimal dock approach, without utilities, up to 200 square
feet in size may be placed. Any dock or structure of course, must have the necessary
regulatory permits.
The rights and obligations of the grantee and the grantor shall be clearly and
completely stated in the easement agreement. Any easement must include
description of the private uses retained by the easement grantorand the price paid
shall not exceed the public value of the purchase after the retained uses are
considered. Development rights not so specified as retained are parts of the rights
purchased.
b) Outright Purchase:
All interests in the parcel become the property and
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 12, 2008
Page 25
responsibility of the town by fee simple transfer.
c) Local Preservation:
A third method of small lot preservation may be by “local
preservation” - that is, where title to any interest in the parcel would be held by
local area or contiguous residents and the Town’s role is limited to assistance with
procedural advice and professional services. Services such as planning, a survey,
planning consultation, flagging, law interpretation, research, mediation and
communication services, as well as limited grants, may be Town provided.
Such services may to be provided at the request of the landowner and the interested
local parties given a positive recommendation by the LPD/LPC and subsequent
quid pro quo
Town Board approval. The for the Town’s expenditure of public funds
would be a perpetual easement to the Town describing the extinguishment of
residential development rights.
d) Coordination:
The preservation shall be coordinated by, or under the direction
of, the Land Preservation Coordinator to assure application of the special
guidance.
e) Tax Deduction:
If the seller intends to claim a non-cash-contribution tax
deduction resulting from a bargain-sale or gift, the Town will complete an IRS
form 8283 for the donor. But, per IRS instruction, such acknowledgement does
not represent agreement with any claimed fair market value. It does acknowledge
that the property has been received and, if the Town sells the property within three
years, the Town will file an IRS form 8282 and accordingly notify the donor. The
Town, holding itself to a higher standard, will not sign a blatantly fraudulent 8283
form.
f) Environmental Distress:
If the land has been, or apparently will be,
compromised, an environmental restoration/protection plan shall be made that
identifies tasks, schedule and responsibility. In the case of purchase of
development rights, the plan shall be made part of the easement.
Public/private/trust partnerships may be employed.
In the case of a fee simple acquisition, resulting responsibilities for the Town as
well as funding and expected funding sources shall be identified.

treated an maintained as a separate and independent residential lot since

law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.
IV. EFFECTIVE DATE

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.
