ARTICLE XVII
Wireless Communication Facilities
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 27
§ 280-67. Purpose.
A. It is the express purpose of this article to minimize the visual and environmental impacts
of wireless communication facilities while protecting the health, safety and welfare of
Southold's citizens and allowing wireless service providers to meet their technological
and service objectives. In addition, the regulation of wireless facilities, including the type
of structure, is intended to protect the scenic and aesthetic qualities of the Town of
Southold. This article allows wireless communication facilities in certain preferred
locations to be reviewed and approved in keeping with the Town's existing zoning and
historic development patterns, including the size and spacing of structures. The goals of
the following sections are to accomplish the following:
(1) Site wireless facilities in these preferred locations:
(a) Within or on existing buildings and structures where the antennas are invisible (or
nearly so) from public and residential vantage points.
(b) Industrial areas.
(2) Take into account the aesthetic aspects of the Town, including open vistas, scenic
byways and historic districts, when designing and siting wireless communication
facilities.
§ 280-68. Scope.
The regulations of this article shall govern and control the erection, enlargement, expansion,
alteration, operation, maintenance, relocation and removal of all wireless communication
facilities. The regulations of this article relate to the location and design of these facilities and
shall be in addition to the provisions of the Southold Building and Zoning Codes and any other
federal, state or local laws or Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) or other regulations pertaining to such facilities. Nothing herein shall be
construed to, apply to, prohibit, regulate or otherwise affect the erection, maintenance or
utilization of antennas or support structures by those licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission pursuant to Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 97, to operate amateur
radio stations, or satellite antennas that are used for individual business or residential voice, data,
or video communications.
§ 280-69. Definitions.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

finish similar to that of adjacent structures on the property and integrated into the
architectural style. Any newly constructed base equipment shelter shall be located
in accordance with the minimum height and yard requirements of the zoning
district applicable to the site, and up to two adjacent off-street parking spaces may
be provided for service vehicles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, base equipment
related to interior-mounted wireless facilities shall be located in an area that is
satisfactory to the Planning Board upon consideration of impacts on adjacent
properties and minimizing visual impacts.
(4) Base equipment shelter landscaping. A screen of evergreen trees shall be planted
outside the fence of the telecommunication tower base area base equipment area
or shelter to provide a visual screen or buffer for adjoining private properties and
the public right-of-way or other vantage points accessible to the public. The
screen shall consist of a double row of evergreen shrubs and trees that are of
sufficient density and height to immediately screen the base equipment from
view. Required front yard setback areas shall be landscaped and include shrubs
and trees. Survivability of the landscaping shall be guaranteed and maintained by
the applicant for the life of the installation.
(5) Site lighting. The lighting permitted shall be the minimum required to protect the
public welfare. Facilities sited on existing developed sites shall be incorporated
into the lighting plans of those sites. Outside lighting shall use fully shielded
fixtures so that the light source is not visible from beyond the property line, and
no light is reflected or shone towards the sky, except in the case of structures
required to follow FAA guidelines for safety lighting.
§ 280-71. Required approvals.
All wireless facilities and modifications thereto shall require a building permit, site plan
approval, and/or special exception approval, except in cases of ordinary maintenance as defined
in §280-69, as stated below: All wireless communication facilities, and modifications to such
facilities (as defined in §280-69) shall require a building permit, site plan approval, and special

following two categories:
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 36
(a) New wireless facility that is interior-mounted in an existing building or
existing structure in the LI, LIO, B, HB, MI, or MII Zoning District which
conforms to the following requirements:
[1] Interior-mounted facilities in existing buildings shall be
constructed so that the outward appearance of the building or
structure before and after the installation is complete is identical or
nearly identical. The addition of a significant architectural feature
onto an existing building that is visible from outside for the
purpose of accommodating interior-mounted antennas shall require
site plan approval; and
[2] Base station equipment:
[a] Located within an existing shelter or building, not to be
expanded beyond an additional 10% of floor area; or
[b] Located in an underground vault, with any aboveground
components screened from view with evergreen planting;

planting so that all equipment, shelters, fences, gates and
other associated structures are not visible from any vantage
point. Plantings shall be of sufficient size to achieve this
screening effect immediately upon planting;
[d] Noise from base equipment, including any backup
generator, measures less than 45dB at the nearest all
adjacent property lines of all adjacent residences; or
(b) Modification, as defined in § 280-69, including co-location, of an existing
antenna support structure or other wireless facility holding all valid
permits and causing essentially no visible change to the exterior, and
which conforms to the following requirements:
[1] Modifications causing essentially no visible change in the
appearance of the exterior means that the antennas are interior-
mounted in the existing structure and are not visible from the
outside after installation. The base equipment area is expanded by
no more than 10% of its existing floor area, and is entirely
screened from view from any public or residential vantage points,
including all roads, yards, and commercial buildings the public
enters. Exceptionally well-designed flush-mounted antennas may
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 37
also fall into this category if they present no visible profile
protruding from the surface to which they are mounted, and are
camouflaged to blend in with the background surface to which they
are mounted; and
[2] Base station equipment {as specified above in Subsection
A(2)(a)[2]}.
B. Site plan approval required.
(1) All applications for site plan approval shall comply with § 280-70, General
requirements for all wireless communication facilities, and § 280-74, Application
requirements.
(2) Building Permit and Site Plan only. A wireless communication facility is a
permitted use requiring a building permit and site plan approval without the
requirement of special exception approval if it conforms to § 280-70 and falls in
one of the following two categories:
(a) New wireless facility that is interior, roof- or side-mounted to an existing
building or existing structure in the LI, LIO, B, HB, MI, or MII Zoning
District which conforms to the following requirements:

materials of the structure; and
[3][4] Base station equipment {as specified above in Subsection
A(2)(a)[2]}; or
(b) Modification, as defined in § 280-69, including co-location, to an existing
wireless facility holding all valid permits in the LI, LIO, B, HB, MI, or
MII Zoning Districts and causing a visible change to the exterior, and
which conforms to the following requirements:
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 38
[1] Co-locations shall not extend the height of the structure more than
10 feet over the original approved structure. To prevent the
incremental extension of height over time, any subsequent
application with a proposed extension beyond the first 10 feet shall
require special exception review and approval; and
[2] Base station equipment {as specified above in Subsection
A(2)(a)[2]}.
C. Special exception. All applications for special exception shall comply with the standards
in § 280-70, General requirements for all wireless telecommunication facilities, and §
280-74, Application requirements.
§ 280-72. Site plan approval.
A. Standards. In addition to the standards in Article XXIV and the standards in § 280-70
herein, all wireless facilities, including co-locations, shall be the least visually obtrusive
design possible that also permits the applicant to achieve its service needs. To that end,
the following design standards shall apply to all wireless communication facilities
installed or constructed that require site plan approval:
(1) Camouflage on buildings. Wireless antennas, if mounted on a building facade,
shall be flush-mounted and painted or otherwise treated to blend with the facade.
When a wireless communication facility extends above the roof height of a
building on which it is mounted, every effort shall be made to conceal the facility
within or behind existing architectural features to limit its visibility from public
and residential vantage points, yet permit the facility to perform its designated
function. Facilities mounted on a roof shall be stepped-back from the front facade
in order to limit their impact on the building's silhouette. If antennas are part of
the stepped-back facility, the applicant shall submit an access control plan that
precludes inadvertent access to the front faces of the antennas by building workers
and the general public. The wireless communication facilities shall blend in with
the existing building's architecture and shall be painted or shielded with material
which is consistent with the design features and materials of the building.
(2) Access. Access to wireless facilities shall be from already established site access
points whenever possible.
(3) Dish antennas. Dish antennas shall be colored, camouflaged or screened to the
extent that they are as unobtrusive as possible, and in no case shall the diameter of
a dish antenna exceed six feet.
(4) Electric line setback. Except for wireless facilities specifically designed for
mounting on electric transmission towers, or within the footprint of such towers,
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 39
no wireless communication facility shall be located nearer to any overhead
electric transmission line carrying more than 220 volts than a distance equal to the
facility's height above the roof or other permanent structure to which it is
attached.
(5) Co-location. Wireless communication facilities shall be designed to provide for
co-location by multiple providers or designed so that they can be retrofitted to
accommodate multiple providers, wherever possible.
(6) Scenic landscapes and vistas. All antenna support structures which are not
concealed inside of buildings or screened by existing trees or buildings must be
surrounded by a planted buffer of dense tree growth. An antenna support structure
that is located within a scenic vista or scenic landscape or within 300 feet of a
scenic road, as designated by the Town, shall not be taller than 10 feet above the
height of trees within a radius of 300 feet of the proposed location, or 35 feet
maximum in the absence of trees.
(7) Color. Antenna support structures in the form of monopoles or other towers shall
either be blue/gray in color or be colored appropriate to the context of the
structure's location so that the tower is as unobtrusive as possible, unless
otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). If a wireless
communication facility is installed on a structure other than a tower, the antenna
and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a neutral color
that is identical to or closely compatible with the colors of the supporting
structure so as to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive
as possible.
(8) Wireless facilities sited within new structures meant to mimic some other
structure or natural feature must be designed at a scale compatible with the
community, be unobtrusive, and characteristic of the area.
(9) Antenna support structures in or adjacent to residential zones. Where the site
proposed for an antenna support structure is located within a residential zone or
has one or more property lines abutting or on the opposite side of a street from a
residential zone or use permitted in a residential zone, no antenna support
structures may be constructed unless adequately screened from view of those
residential zones by existing buildings or large trees, including evergreens. The
structure may protrude no more than 10 feet above screening buildings and/or
trees. In the absence of an adequate arrangement of existing large trees or
buildings to provide effective screening, the height of the proposed structure may
be no more than 35 feet, and the base equipment must be buried in an
underground vault. Two rows of evergreen trees must be planted encircling the
structure, one row at a distance from the structure of 50% of the height of the
structure, and the other at 90% of the height of the structure. Transplanted trees
shall have a minimum caliper of three inches, spaced 30 feet on center. The trees
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 40
must have an expected height at maturity of at least 10 feet less than the height of
the structure to be screened. Smaller evergreen shrubs must be used to fill in the
gaps in between for screening during the time the trees are filling in and maturing.
The Planning Board may vary the arrangement of the trees and shrubs to
accommodate specific site conditions, and accomplish the goal of screening the
facility from view of residential properties. A written guarantee from the wireless
facility's owner shall be required to ensure that the plantings survive and are
maintained throughout the existence of the installation.
(10) Commercial and industrial siting. Antenna support structures to be sited on
developed commercial or industrial properties shall be located to the rear of other
principal buildings and shall not encroach on planting buffers, parking areas or
otherwise impair the operation of previously approved systems such as
stormwater drainage basins. Existing buildings and structures should be used in
the siting of freestanding towers to contribute to the visual screening of the
antenna support structure.
§ 280-73. Special exception approval.
A. Authority. For the purposes of this section, notwithstanding Article XXV of this chapter,
the Planning Board shall be empowered to issue a special exception approval for wireless
communication facilities, subject to the provisions of this chapter.
B. Standards. In addition to the standards in Article XXV of this chapter, no special
exception approval shall be granted unless the Planning Board specifically finds and
determines the following:
(1) Construction of the proposed facility or modification of the existing facility is a
public necessity, in that it is required to meet current or expected demands of the
telecommunications provider and to render adequate service to the public.
(2) The applicant has made substantial effort to co-locate with existing wireless
facilities or, failing that, has made substantial effort to locate on municipally
owned land or structures, or within or on existing buildings or structures.
(3) There are compelling reasons which make it more feasible to construct the
proposed facilities rather than alternatives.
C. Matters to be considered. In addition to the matters to be considered in Article XXV of
this chapter, the Planning Board shall give consideration to the following in issuing a
special exception approval for wireless communication facilities:
(1) The proposed antenna support structure must be demonstrated to be the lowest
height above the ground feasible to achieve the service needs of the carrier(s). The
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 41
rationale behind the explanation by the applicant must be corroborated by an
independent consultant hired by the Town.
(2) The wireless communication facility has been situated to minimize its proximity
and visibility to residential structures, residential district boundaries and
landmarks designated by Town, federal or state agencies.
(3) The wireless communication facility is designed and situated to be compatible
with the nature of uses on adjacent and nearby property.
(4) The wireless communication facility has been designed to use the surrounding
topography to minimize its visual impacts.
(5) The wireless communication facility has been designed to use the surrounding
tree, building or foliage coverage to minimize its visual impacts.
(6) The wireless communication facility maximizes design characteristics to reduce
or eliminate visual impacts and obtrusiveness.
(7) Other adequate conditions have been placed on the wireless communication
facility which will minimize any adverse impacts of the facility on adjoining
properties.
D. Expiration. Any special exception approval granted under this article shall have a term of
five years, commencing from the grant of the special exception, which may be extended
for an additional five-year term upon application to the Planning Board. On a renewal
application, the applicant shall demonstrate that the wireless communication facility is in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and with all of the conditions
of the special exception approval and site plan, that the facility is necessary to provide
adequate service, and that there is no reasonable alternative available to the owner which
will provide adequate service without the continuing use of the facility. Subsequent
special exception renewals shall be subject to review by the Planning Board and subject
to such standards that shall be included in the Town Code at that point in time.
§ 280-74. Application fees and requirements.
A. Fees. The following fees are in place of those required in other sections of the Code:

§ 280-75. Historic buildings and districts.
No wireless communication facility is allowed on any designated landmark property or district
listed by federal, state or Town agencies, except as specified below, and subject to Chapter 170,
Landmark Preservation:
A. Any wireless communication facility located on or within an historic structure listed by
federal, state or Town agencies shall not alter the character-defining features, distinctive
construction methods or original materials of the building.
B. Any alteration made to an historic structure to accommodate a wireless communication
facility shall be fully reversible.
C. Wireless communication facilities within an historic district listed by federal, state or
Town agencies shall be concealed within or behind existing architectural features, so that
they are not visible.
§ 280-76. Removal; height reduction.
A. Any wireless communication facility that is not operated for a continuous period of 12
months shall be deemed abandoned. At that time, the owner of the wireless
communication facility or the owner of the property where the wireless communication
facility is located shall remove all components thereof within 90 days of such deemed
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 47
abandonment or will be in violation of this article. In the case of a wireless
communication facility on preexisting structures, this provision shall apply to the wireless
communication facility only. If the wireless communication facility is not removed
within said 90 days, the Building Inspectors may give the owner notice that unless the
removal is accomplished within 30 days, the Town will cause the removal at the owner's
expense. All costs and expenses incurred by the Town in connection with any proceeding
or any work done for the removal of a wireless communication facility shall be assessed
against the land on which such wireless communication facility is located, and a
statement of such expenses shall be presented to the owner of the property, or if the
owner cannot be ascertained or located, then such statement shall be posted in a
conspicuous place on the premises. Such assessment shall be and constitute a lien upon
such land. If the owner of the facility and the owner of the property upon which the
facility is located shall fail to pay such expenses within 10 days after the statement is
presented or posted, a legal action may be brought to collect such assessment or to
foreclose such lien. As an alternative to the maintenance of any such action, the Building
Inspector may file a certificate of the actual expenses incurred as aforesaid, together with
a statement identifying the property in connection with which the expenses were incurred
and the owner of the facility and the owner of the property upon which the facility is
located, with the Assessors, who shall, in the preparation of the next assessment roll,
assess such amount upon such property. Such amount shall be included in the levy
against such property, shall constitute a lien and shall be collected and enforced in the
same manner, by the same proceedings, at the same time and under the same penalties as
are provided by law for the collection and enforcement of real property taxes in the Town
of Southold.
B. Height reduction. Where antennas are moved to lower heights on an existing antenna
support structure, and the full height is no longer needed, the overall height of the
structure shall be reduced. No antenna support structure shall remain at a height that is
taller than that required by installed and operational antennas.
C. This section is enacted pursuant to § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to promote the
public health, safety and general welfare of Town citizens through removal provisions to
ensure the proper decommissioning of wireless communication facilities within the entire
Town. The removal reduction provision of this chapter shall supersede any inconsistent
portions of the Town Law § 64(5-a) and govern the subject of removal of wireless
communication facilities in this chapter.
§ 280-76.1 77. Preexisting antenna support structures and antennas.
A. Preexisting transmission antenna support structures and antennas, for which a permit has
been issued prior to the effective date of this article, may continue in use for the purpose
now used and as now existing, subject to the conditions of that permit. Preexisting
transmission antenna support structures and antennas may not be replaced, structurally
altered, or added to without complying in all respects with this article. The issuance of
permit renewals or other new permits for such facilities shall be in accordance with the
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 48
provisions of this article. Preexisting transmission antenna support structures and
antennas without the proper permits shall be considered out of compliance with this
article.
B. Any wireless service provider with at least one preexisting transmission antenna support
structure or antenna in the Town of Southold that is out of compliance with the building
and zoning requirements in this chapter, prior to the adoption of this article, shall not be
eligible for any new approvals until the preexisting transmission antenna support
structure or antenna is brought into compliance with this article.
C. Until all required permits are secured, no issuance of any new permit shall occur for a
request to co-locate, attach, or share an existing transmission antenna support structure,
when such existing facility is found to have one or more antennas or mounts without
permits.
D. Any application by a wireless service provider shall be deemed incomplete, if that
provider has a preexisting transmission antenna support structure in the Town on which
there is any antenna or mount without permits, and said application shall not be processed
until that facility is brought into compliance with this article.
§ 280-76.2 78. Waivers of criteria.
In approving a site plan or special exception, the Planning Board may waive or modify the
following criteria if it finds that the goals and stated purposes of this article are better served by
doing so, and that there is no detriment to the public health, safety and welfare.
A. Section 280-70H I(2), Maximum height: 80 feet. In commercial zones, where co-location
will achieve the result of fewer antenna support structures, the Planning Board may
modify the eighty-foot height restriction with the condition that the antenna support
structure be constructed so that antennas can be installed at any height on the structure,
and that the overall height of the structure can be reduced if antennas are moved to lower
heights. No antenna support structure shall remain at a height that is taller than that
required by installed and operational antennas. The applicant must show that co-location
of other carriers is likely by demonstrating that coverage or capacity gaps of other
carriers are located in the same area as the proposed structure.
B. Section 280-70H I(3), Minimum distance of all wireless equipment to adjacent residential
property lines or streets shall be no less than 500 feet. This setback requirement may be
modified upon a showing by the applicant that the actual distance of the antenna support
structure to the residential structure is minimized to the greatest extent possible.
C. Section 280-72A(6), Scenic landscapes and vistas. The requirement of planting of
surrounding tree coverage and foliage to account for existing vegetation and land
contours may be modified by the Planning Board but only in cases where it can be shown
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - June 15, 2010
Page 49
that the existing vegetation achieves the purpose of concealing the structure.
D. Section 280-70M N(4), Base equipment shelter landscaping. The requirement of planting
of screening vegetation may be modified by the Planning Board in cases where it can be
shown that existing screening that accomplishes the goal of concealing the base
equipment shelter from other properties and roads.
E. Section 280-72A(9), Antenna support structures in or adjacent to residential zones. If the
structure is located on a property that is adjacent to a residential zone, the Planning Board
may modify the requirement of planting of surrounding tree coverage and foliage in cases
where it can be shown that existing vegetation and land contours achieve the purpose of
concealing the structure from nearby residences.
F. Section 280-76.1 77A and Section 280-77B, Preexisting antenna support structures and
antennas not in compliance. The provision requiring preexisting nonconforming facilities
to be brought into compliance may be modified by the Planning Board where such
facilities would be required to be rebuilt or relocated to be in compliance, if, in those
cases only, the applicant demonstrates that those preexisting facilities, given the carrier's
coverage or capacity needs, are already located in a place that would comply the same or
better as any alternate locations, or are already constructed to be as unobtrusive as
possible.
§ 280-79. Relief.
With the exception of relief from the denial of an application for special exception approval
pursuant to §280-73, any applicant desiring any other relief or exemption from the requirements
of this Article may seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals in accordance with Article
XXVI of this chapter.
§ 280-76.3 80. Severability.
The various parts, sections and clauses of this article are hereby declared to be severable. If any
clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this article shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this article as a
whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.
§ 280-76.4 81. When effective.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.
