RESOLVEDsupports resolution no. 1,
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby
presented at the December 10, 2008 Suffolk County Supervisor’s Association meeting
which reads as follows:
WHEREAS
, the Suffolk County Supervisor's Association has acknowledged that the harvest of
shellfish from underwater lands has been an important element of the Great South Bay's social
and cultural traditions, as well as its economic base; and,
WHEREAS
, the decline of the harvest of hard clams has affected the local economy of this area.
For example, in 1976, the harvesting of hard clams in Town of Brookhaven's waters was at
221,018 bushels, but harvesting had declined to 2,265 bushels in 2007. The number of permits
issued to harvest hard clams in the Town of Brookhaven has declined from over 1,000 permits in
1976 to under 100 permits in 2007. This overall decline of shellfish harvesting has cost the local
economy approximately $63 million. As a result, several fishermen and baymen are losing job
opportunities; and

Overcharges in NYSHIP
RESOLVEDsupports resolution no. 2,
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby
presented at the December 10, 2008 Suffolk County Supervisor’s Association meeting
which reads as follows:
WHEREAS
, the Suffolk County Supervisor's Association has acknowledged that health
insurance premiums and costs are increasing each year through the New York State Health
Insurance Program (NYSHlP). As a result, this has placed an overwhelming burden on municipal
budgets; and
WHEREAS
, the Suffolk County Supervisor's Association has learned that the insurance
companies who contract with NYSHIP have been retaining premium overcharges amounting to
$540 million over the past several years. In the 2009-2010 fiscal years, it is projected that these
companies will collect a $300-$375 million overcharge; and
WHEREAS
, given the current financial and economic climate, it is troubling for the member
towns of the Suffolk County Supervisor's Association to struggle to afford insurance coverage
for their employees on an annual basis and insurance companies are profiting from these
practices. We, as towns, can no longer afford these practices. NOW, THEREFORE, be it
RESOLVED
, by the board of the Suffolk County Supervisor's Association that New York State
Governor David Paterson continue to reform NYSHIP by authorizing an independent review of
NYSHIP practices by an outside healthcare and/or benefits firm; and be it further resolved
RESOLVED
, that New York State Governor Paterson should authorize to return a portion of the
premium overcharges to the towns of Suffolk County. We propose a one-month premium

Page 33
“A Local Law in relation to Design Standards and Regulations for
The proposed Local Law entitled,
Residential Site Plans in the Town of Southold”
reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. OF 2008
“A Local Law in relation to Design Standards and Regulations for Residential
A Local Law entitled,
Site Plans in the Town of Southold”
.
BE IT ENACTED
by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
Section 1
. Legislative Intent
The Town of Southold’s Comprehensive Plan, comprised of a series of planning
initiatives undertaken over the past 20 years, establishes a group of fundamental goals that
together provide the underpinnings of Southold’s future vision. These goals are:
1. To preserve land, including farmland, open space and recreational landscapes.
2. To preserve the rural, cultural and historic character of the hamlets surrounding
the countryside.
3. To preserve the Town’s remaining natural environment; to prevent further
deterioration of the Town’s natural resources and to restore the Town’s degraded natural
resources back to their previous quality.
4. To preserve and promote a range of housing and business opportunities that
supports a socio-economically diverse community.
5. To increase transportation efficiency and to create alternatives to automobile
travel, while preserving the scenic and historic attributes of roads in the Town.
The Town Board of the Town of Southold recognizes that the local community can
absorb a finite amount of development in order to achieve the goals set forth above. The
development that occurs will result in irreversible changes to the land and the community. The
Town of Southold is engaged in a process for comprehensive planning for the hamlets located in
the Town, and in 2005 adopted the Town of Southold “Hamlet Study”. The Hamlet Study
represents a unique exercise in Southold’s long tradition of community planning as it was
prepared by stakeholders from each hamlet representing a cross-section of the community. The
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 34
primary goal of the Hamlet Study was to balance and accommodate an appropriate degree of
growth in each hamlet. Since the adoption, the hamlet stakeholder process has been re-convened
and the stakeholders are active in working with the Planning Board and staff to plan for the
future of the hamlets.
Presently, there are two applications for residential site plans before the Planning Board.
These projects, if approved in their present form, would yield a significant change in the
character of the hamlets in which they are proposed. The proposed project in Cutchogue contains
the second-largest number of residential units proposed in a single development in the Town of
Southold in recent memory. The impact of this development on the existing community and
character of the hamlet is likely to be profound. The proposed project in Southold, while not as
large in number of units, is large in scale and size of buildings.
The Planning Department, faced with these applications, advised the Town Board that the
current residential site plan regulations are inadequate to deal with the proposed developments.
The current residential site plan regulations lack residential design standards and cluster
requirements. The Town Board, Planning Board, Planning staff, and Code Committee reviewed
the high density residential zoning, including Hamlet Density (HD) and Hamlet Business (HB),
and proposed amendments. A public hearing was held on the proposed Code amendments on
September 23, 2008. Thereafter, the Town Board, Planning staff and Code Committee met on
several occasions to review the public comments and further discuss appropriate amendments to
the town code. These proposed amendments are designed to assure that residential development
in the residential zones is consistent with the plans for the hamlet, is compatible in scale with the
hamlet, and will comprehensively meet the long-range goals of the Town. These amendments
intend to assure a diversity of housing stock, promote moderate-cost dwellings, meet the needs of
the existing population, and protect groundwater, open space and community character. The
business zones that allow residential development have been removed from the proposal at this
time, as the Planning Board, Town Board, and Code Committee have agreed that it is appropriate
to examine the business zones and their uses comprehensively in the near future.
Section 2
. CODE AMENDMENTS
Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 35
§ 280-137. Standards for residential site plans.
The purpose of these residential site plan standards are to provide for a diversity of housing
stock, promote moderate-cost dwellings, meet the needs of the existing population and
protect groundwater, open space and community character.
A. The Planning Board's review of the application and plans with respect to residential
site plans shall include their compliance with the following:
(1) The requirement that the applicant attend a presubmission conference, at
which time the applicant, the Planning Board and planning staff shall discuss
the salient design features of the application. At such conference, the applicant
shall be provided with a copy of the then-existing design manual as adopted
by the Planning Board.
(2) The applicable provisions of this chapter.
(3) Where applicable, Town Law § 274-a and General Municipal Law § 239-m.
(4) Construction standards and specifications of the Town highway specifications,
Chapter 161 of the Code of the Town of Southold. For the purposes of
residential site plans, one dwelling unit is the equivalent of one residential lot.
(5) The requirements of the existing resources and site analysis plan(s) (ERSAP)
and the allowable density of dwelling units as calculated using the yield plan
criteria for standard subdivisions set forth in §§ 240-10A and B(2) of the Code
of the Town of Southold, Subdivision of Land.
(6) The provisions of Article XI, Cluster Development, of Chapter 240 of the
Code of the Town of Southold, Subdivision of Land, as may shall be applied
by the Planning Board in its discretion to residential site plans in residential
districts, and may be applied by the Planning Board to residential site plans in
business districts., where it determines that such cluster development shall
benefit the Town and the natural and scenic qualities of open lands. In doing
so, the Planning Board shall establish conditions on the ownership, use and
maintenance of such open lands as it deems necessary to assure the
preservation of the natural and scenic qualities of such open lands and shall
not permit the use of such lands for the fulfillment of the park and recreation
requirement. The procedures set forth in Article XI, of Chapter 240,
Subdivision of Land, shall govern except as modified herein. To the extent
that this provision may be construed to be in conflict with Town Law § 278
regarding clustered development, Town Law § 274-a regarding site plan
review, or Town Law § 267, 267-a, 267-b or 267-c regarding the authority of
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 36
the Zoning Board of Appeals, this provision supersedes and amends such
sections insofar as they place any limitation on the Planning Board's
application of such clustered development to residential site plans or the
requirement of the fulfillment of the park and recreation requirement.
(a) Design requirements where cluster development is required:
1. Open space
i. Where required, cluster development design shall set aside a
percentage of buildable land as open space in accordance with the

boundary markers.
iv. The location, use and design of the open space areas will be
determined by the Planning Board using the ERSAP, as set forth
above, and as set forth and regulated in §240-10C and §240-44.
(7) (reserved)
(8) Minimum setback
1. The setback from the property line to all structures shall be in
accordance with the schedule for Open Space, Buffers and
Setbacks for Residential Site Plans at the end of this chapter.
(9) Minimum buffer
1. The buffer area shall be in accordance with the schedule for Open
Space, Buffers and Setbacks for Residential Site Plans at the end of
this chapter
(10) (7) Design considerations:
(a) The location, arrangement, setbacks, size, design, and general site
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 37
compatibility of buildings, structures, landscaping, lighting, and
signs, in keeping with the character of the community;

York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), Article 8 of the
Environmental Conservation Law, 6 NYCRR Part 617. [Added 8-2-2005 by L.L. No.

C. Within 10 days after completion of the SEQRA review accepting the application, the
Planning Board shall forward the application to the Architectural Review Committee
for review. The Architectural Review Committee shall review the application at their
next regularly scheduled meeting, and make a written recommendation to the
Planning Board on the site plan within 10 business days of that meeting receipt of the
referral. If the Committee fails to make a recommendation within this time period, the
project shall proceed to the Planning Board for consideration without Committee
review. [Added 8-2-2005 by L.L. No. 12-2005]
D. Preliminary hearing requirement. Prior to and in addition to the public hearing
required by § 280-131H, the Planning Board shall hold a separate preliminary hearing
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 38
on the application with notice provided pursuant to Chapter 55, Notice of Public
Hearings. [Amended 8-2-2005 by L.L. No. 12-2005]

creation of five or more dwelling units shall comply with the requirements of § 240-
10B(2)(c) of the Code of the Town of Southold, Subdivision of Land, pertaining to
the provision of affordable housing, except in the Hamlet Density zoning district the

reduced from twenty percent to ten percent. The requirements applicable to lots
within a subdivision in that subsection shall apply equally to dwelling units in
affected residential site plans.
F. Park and recreation requirement. The provisions of § 240-53 of the Code of the Town
of Southold, Subdivision of Land, pertaining to the reservation of parkland in

Security, and Article X, Required Public Improvements; Inspections; Fees, of Chapter

residential site plans approved under this chapter. Pursuant to Municipal Home Rule
Law § 10, § 280-137B, C and D herein supersedes and amends New York State Town
Law § 274-a regarding site plan review to the extent that the Planning Board is
empowered to impose affordable housing, park and recreation and performance bond
requirements in the residential site plan review process. [Amended 8-2-2005 by L.L.
No. 12-2005]
H. Phased development. The Planning Board shall permit the phased development of
residential properties that meet all other applicable standards, but shall condition the
approval of the development of any permitted phase upon the maintenance of the
undeveloped phases in their undeveloped condition, and shall prohibit all clearing and
site preparation on such undeveloped phases until such time as development is
permitted. [Amended 8-2-2005 by L.L. No. 12-2005]

Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 39
reduce or amend requirements for open space. In making these decisions, the
Planning Board shall take into consideration the benefit to the applicant, as
weighed against the detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the
neighborhood or community. In making such determination, the Planning
Board shall also consider:
(a) Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of

method feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than the sought
variance;
(c) Whether the variance is substantial;
(d) Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact
on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district; and
(e) Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which shall be
relevant to the decision but shall not necessarily preclude the
proposed amendment or variance.

law places restrictions on the size of dwelling units in the HD zoning district. This district is the
densest residential zoning district in the Town, and such restriction will serve to achieve the
aforementioned goals.

Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is amended as follows:
§280-137 A(7)
Maximum amount of building area and size of buildings in the HD
(7)

1. The maximum amount of total building area on a parcel shall be
limited to the yield as determined by a yield plan multiplied by
1,200 s.f. (Yield shall be determined pursuant to §240-10B). The
resulting maximum amount of building area may then be divided
into structures.
2. At least 50% of the total number of units must not be larger than
1,200 s.f. livable floor area. The remaining building area may be
distributed among units of varying sizes, provided the total number
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 16, 2008
Page 44
of dwelling units built does not exceed the yield as determined by
the yield plan. Each unit built may have up to 400 s.f. incidental
floor area in addition to the livable floor area.
3. Total building area for the purpose of this section is the cumulative
amount of livable floor area, as defined below, of all dwellings.
Total building area does not include clubhouse or similar amenities
structures.
4. Livable floor area per unit for the purpose of this section is the
total area of all floors, including all spaces within the exterior walls
of a dwelling unit, with no deduction for hallways, stairs, closets,
thickness of interior walls, or other interior features. Livable floor
area per unit shall exclude unfinished basement area and
unfinished attic area. Incidental floor area shall include, but not be
limited to, garages, unenclosed porches and decks.
