Local Law Public Hearing
Town Attorney
PH 6/5 7:32 PM LL/Waterfowl & Gull & Pet Waste
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County, New York, on the l0th day of April, 2012, a Local Law entitled "A Local Law in
relation to Amendments to Chapter 83~ Animals~ in connection with Waterfowl and Gull
Feeding and Pet Waste" now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public heating on the
aforesaid Local Law at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, on the
5th day of June, 2012 at 7:32 p.m. at which time all interested persons will be given an
opportunity to be heard.
The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 83~
Animals~ in connection with Waterfowl and Gull Feeding and Pet Waste" reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2012
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 83~ Animals~ in
connection with Waterfowl and Gull Feeding and Pet Waste".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. Purpose.
April 10, 2012 Page 27
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
It is the intent of this Article to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community
and to assist the Town of Southold and its wildlife by prohibiting the feeding of migratory,
nonmigratory, or resident waterfowl and gulls within publicly owned land or waterways of the
Town of Southold. The feeding of waterfowl and gulls increases the potential for damage to
lands; can cause water quality problems, beach closures, and contamination of shellfish growing
areas; and increases the potential for the spread of disease to residents. In addition, it is the
intent of this Article to protect the welfare of the waterfowl and gulls themselves, since wildlife
studies have shown that the feeding of waterfowl and gulls can interrupt their normal migration
patterns, cause nutritional problems, and promote the spread of serious waterfowl and gulls'
diseases such as avian influenza, avian cholera, plague and botulism. This Article also expands
the scope of the Pooper Scooper Program to include a prohibition of leaving domestic pet waste
on any public property with a goal of further reducing non-point source pollutants and bacteria
levels in stormwater runoff entering waters of the Town.
II. Chapter 83 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
§83-6. Prohibited activities.
ARTICLE IV
Waterfowl and Gull Feeding and Domestic Pet Waste
§83-17. Definitions.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, the following terms shall, for the purpose of this Chapter,
have the meanings as herein defined. Any word or term not noted below shall be used with a
meaning as defined in Webster's Third International Dictionary of the English Language,

waterfowl or gulls any type of food, including but not limited to corn, wheat or other grains,
bread, popcorn, scraps, or any substance liable to be eaten by the waterfowl or gulls.

park, preserve or any other public or Town-owned property; or any place where people
congregate or walk; or on any private property without the permission of the owner of said
property. It shall be a violation of this Section unless all feces are immediately removed by said
person in a sanitary manner and then sealed and deposited in a garbage container. Any feces
disposed of in street storm collection systems is prohibited.
§83-19. Enforcement.
The provisions of this Article shall be administered and enforced by the Zoning Inspector and/or

provided, however, that for the first year after the effective date of this law, such personnel shall

Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
Page 31
ARTICLE V
Removal of Utility Poles
§237-30. Legislative intent and purpose.
Utility poles located within the Town are often damaged by traffic accidents, aging, and/or
adverse weather conditions and, as a result, may compromise the health, safety and welfare of
Town residents. Utility companies may replace damaged poles with new poles directly next to,
or in close proximity to, the damaged pole. However, the damaged pole remains in place,
leaving both an eyesore and a threat to the safety of nearby residents.
This law seeks to address this issue by requiring that damaged and double utility poles be
removed in a timely manner and authorizes penalties against utilities if they fail to comply with
this requirement. Ultimately, the Town seeks the removal of aesthetically unpleasant, damaged
utility poles on roadways, while ensuring the public's safety as they travel such roads.
§237-31. Definitions.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, the following terms shall, for the purpose of this Chapter,
have the meanings as herein defined. Any word or term not noted below shall be used with a
meaning as defined in Webster's Third International Dictionary of the English Language,
unabridged (or latest edition).
DOUBLE POLE - Any utility pole that is located directly next to, or in close proximity to, and is
shorter in height than, another utility pole.
UTILITY - Any corporation, authority, or other entity that provides electric, telephone, cable
television or other telecommunications service to the residents of the Town of Southold.
§237-32. Removal of damaged or double utility poles.
When the Superintendent of Highways determines that a utility pole in a highway or right-of way
is damaged and/or a double pole, the Superintendent shall notify the utility that owns or operates
the pole that it must remove said pole within 20 days of written notice or be subiect to penalty.
§237-33. Penalties for offenses.
A penalty of $250.00 shall be assessed for each day the pole is left standing beyond the period
for removal.
II. 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.

and wildlife habitats, flood hazard areas and wildlife breeding areas.
(2) The protection of ground- and surface water from contamination by pollutants.
(3) The protection of air quality.
Pavement: that all other paved areas intended for use by pedestrians and vehicles shall
make use of an aesthetically pleasing and safe combination of pavements and plant
materials which would serve to encourage their use by pedestrians and vehicles.
Lighting: that all outdoor lighting shall be of such a nature and so arranged as to
minimize the projection of direct light and glare onto adjoining properties and streets.
Outdoor lighting shall be compatible with the intended use and also the zoning district,

LOCAL LAW NO. 2012
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 280~ Zoning~ in
connection with Site Plan Approval".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. Purpose.
To provide for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Town of Southold, it is
necessary to make certain amendments to Article XXIV "Site Plan Approval" of Chapter 280.
These amendments are intended to codify and clarify existing policies, site plan objectives and
approval requirements and procedures.
II. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
§280-127. Applicability.
This article shall apply to every land use that is permitted in the Town of Southold except the
single-family home use on a single and separate lot as set forth in Article III, § 280-13A(1 ), and
customary nonagricultural accessory uses to a single-family residential home use as stated in the
Town Code. Any change in use or intensity of use which will affect the characteristics of the site
in terms of parking, loading, access, drainage, open space or utilities will require site plan
approval. In all cases where this chapter requires approval of site de~qopme~ plans by the
Planning Board, no building permit shall be issued by the Building Inspector except upon
authorization of and in conformity with the site plan approval by the Planning Board and all
other public agencies involved.
§280-129. Objectives.
In considering and acting upon site ~e;'c?,pmcr~ plans, the Planning Board shall take into
consideration the public health, safety and welfare, the economic impact and the comfort and
convenience of the public in general and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in
particular and may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards as may be required in order
that the result of its action may, to the maximum extent possible, further the expressed intent of
this chapter and the accomplishment of the following objectives in particular:
A. Traffic access: that all proposed traffic accessways are adequate but not excessive in
number; adequate in width, grade, alignment and visibility; are located in proper
relationship to intersections, pedestrian crossings and other places of public assembly;
and, further, are in conformance with overall traffic safety considerations. Other public
agencies may require further improvements above and beyond the Town's requirements.
Roadway improvements not directly in front of the site may be necessary and required,
based on overall traffic circulation and signalization of adjacent access points and streets.
B. Interior circulation and parking: that adequate off-street parking and loading spaces are
provided to satisfy the parking needs of the proposed uses on site and that the interior
April 10, 2012

Page 48
circulation system is so designed to provide convenient access to such spaces consistent
with pedestrian safety, and, further, that loading areas shall not impede the flow of
interior pedestrian and vehicular traffic and that for certain uses, adequate interior
roadways are provided to confine operations to the site. Handicap accessibility shall be
provided and placed at the nearest point to the proposed structure.
ARTICLE XXIV, Site Plan Approval
§280-130. Approval of site plan required.

a determination as to whether a site plan or an amendment thereto is required, and this
written determination shall be forwarded to the Planning Department for comment. The
Planning Department must provide written comments on this determination to the
Building Inspector within five business days, or be deemed to have waived the
opportunity to comment. After review of comments, or after the time period for comment
has elapsed, the Building Inspector shall issue a final determination to the applicant,
which shall in no event be more than 15 business days from the filing of the application.
Such determination shall also include a written decision as to whether the proposed use is
permitted and whether a special exception is required from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
No building permit shall be issued for any structure or building for which use a site plan
is required pursuant to this chapter, until, if required, an approved site d:;':!cFm:nt plan
or approved amendment of any such plan has been secured by the applicant from the
Planning Board and presented to the Building Inspector, along with all necessary
approvals and permits as may be required by other public agencies. [Amended 5-15-1995

chapter. The Planning Board shall retain jurisdiction and shall have the right, after a

thereof or to impose thereon one or more new conditions, based upon one of the
following grounds:
(1) False statements or mistake of material fact: materially false or inaccurate
statements in the application, supporting papers or supporting testimony of a

V. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided

I have a notice that it was published in the Suffolk Times on March 29, 2012. There is an
affidavit of publication dated April 3, 2012. That it was posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin
board on March 13th, 2012 with the affidavit of posting from the Town Clerk. It was also posted
on the Town of Southold's website on that same date. It was referred to the Suffolk County
Department of Planning and the Southold Town Planning Board on March 15, 2012. From the
Suffolk County Department of Planning, 'Dear Ms. Neville, Pursuant to the requirements of
section 14-14 through A 14-25 of the Suffolk County administrative code, the above referenced
application which has been submitted to the Suffolk County Planning Commission is considered
to be a matter of local determination as there is no apparent significant county wide or inter
community impact. A decision of local determination should not be construed as either an
approval or a disapproval.' And that is from Sarah Lansdale, director of planning and Andrew
Freleng, chief planner. We also have a letter from Donald Wilcenski, chairman of the Planning
Board. "Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed amendments of the
town code, referenced above. The Planning Board has reviewed the proposed amendments and
supports the changes. These changes are reasonable and necessary to improve the site plan
process and protect the public safety and welfare." And that is it.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment on this particular local law?
John Lademann, Cutehogue
JOHN LADEMANN: John Lademann, Cutchogue. I would just like to know whether this will
help with the problem with the unregistered vehicles riding on Alvah's Lane? They can use their
own property instead of using town property. Will this help it?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Under the current proposal it wouldn't because that site plan was
approved prior to the adoption of this law. It doesn't mean that it won't come into play down the
road regarding the future of that site but currently, we can't apply a new law to a site plan that
has already been approved.
MR. LADEMANN: In other words, it won't?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, unfortunately.
MR. LADEMANN: I thought that site plan would be no good now, if this goes through.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: inaudible.
MR. LADEMANN: That is what I was told. That is what we were told.
Page 53
April 10, 2012
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are working on it. We are working on it.
MR. LADEMANN: Well, we have heard that story now for quite a few years. Working on it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We violated again, with those, we have been through this. We have
violated those vehicles, and we have an ADA that won't prosecute them. We need help there.
MR. LADEMANN: They are not farm vehicles. You can check that out. They can be used out
on the lot but not on the road.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment on this particular local law?
(No response).
Closing Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would now invite anybody that would like to address any issue, to
please feel free. Can I get a motion to close the meeting, unless someone would like to talk?
John Lademann
JOHN LADEMANN: Last year you enacted a no parking area on Alvahs Lane and I haven't
seen one sign go up yet. And I was wondering what it holding that up? Because there are truck
parked on the road.
Supervsior Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That was brought to our attention that the signs haven't been
installed and the Town Board directed me to take that up with the Highway Superintendent.
That those signs and signs in other locations, haven't yet been installed. I am going to contact
him tomorrow to find out why and what the delay has been. Would anyone else like to comment
on any issue? (No response)
