Resolution ID: 1678
Meeting: 03/14/06 07:30 PM
Department: Town Clerk
Category: Public Service
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION NO. 2006-286 WAS ADOPTED AT
THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD ON MARCH 14, 2006:
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby adopts the following mission statement of
the Conservation Advisory Committee to update the mission statement adopted on May 6~ 1969:
Receive formal directions from the Town Board as to its priorities in the promotion
and development of the town's natural resources.
Review and assess the town's natural resources and land, and index the results (by
villages and hamlets) in a manner, possibly a grid system, that will allow instant
comprehension of the impact of permitting decisions with particular attention to wetlands and storm
water runoff. -
Publish maps that highlight these resources, their present and planned use, their
significance relative to the environment and their needs for protection, improvement
or better utilization.
Submit reports to the Town Board periodically as to activities of the CAC, the
condition of the town's resource, highlight any changes - improvements or
degradation (including actions taken outside of these areas which have effected their
status, i.e.: Development of upland areas, woodlots - old growth and young, and
paving outside of the wetlands with associated rtmoff and ground water impact.) This
will allow the Town Board monitor the wetlands' condition and status through the
CAC to ensure that the codes are being carried out in both letter and spirit.
Analyze and report to the Town Board the number, location and impact of approved
development permits.
Assist the Town Board by reporting on the efforts of all non-official groups that are
endeavoring to support the Town's conservation program.
Continue to inspect properties where a wetlands permit is requested, comment on
conservation concerns and make recommendations to the Trustees to supplement their
decisions.
Review the new mooring codes and propose methods for management and
enforcement.
