in certain zoning use Distric{s
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold, as follows:
Chapter 100 (Zoning) of the Code of the To~/n of,i~3uflaold is here. by amended
by adding thereto a new Article, to be Article XVI, to read as follows:
ARTICLE XVI ..
MORATOR I UM
Section 100- 160 Findings and Purpose
(1.) In November of 1982, the Town Board authorized the Southold Town
Planning Board to retain the services of Raymond, Parrish, Pine &
Weiner, planning consultants for the purpose of conducting such
studies and making such recommendations as such consultants deemed
appropriate to up-date the existing comprehensive plan of the Town,
including the Town's present zoning code and zoning map.
(2,) In May of 1985, said consultants presented to the Planning Board and
the Town Board a report of their study, together with recommended
planning maps, a zoning map, and a draft of recommended revisions to
the Town's present zoning code.
(3.) That since the presentation of the consultants' report and recommendations,
the Town Board, the Planning Board, and the Board of Appeals have
individually and collectively been reviewing such report and recommendations.
(4.) That upon the completion of such review, the Town Board will conduct
informal public meetings in the variot~s hamlets of the town to afford
the public an opportunity to express it views and make recommendations
with respect to such report and recommendations.
(5.) That at the conclusion of such hamlet meetings,the Town Board will
further review the proposed amendments to the Town's zoning code and ·
zoning map, giving consideration to all comments and recommendations
presented at such meetings, and will then propose a Local Law to implement
the said master plan study, incorporating such revisions therein as it
deems appropriate. The Town Board will then refer the same to the Town
Planning Board and the Suffolk County Planning Commission for their
review and recommendations, as required by law, and thereafter hold
a public hearing thereon, as required by law, on the question of the
'enactment of such Local Law to implement, in whole or in part, the
recommendations proposed by the Master Plan Study conducted by said
consultants.
(6.) That the Town Board finds that many of the zoning code and zoning map
amendments recommended by the plan~ing consultant are incor[sistent
with the present zoning map and zoning code with respect to uses in
the B Light Business Districts; the B-1 General Business Districts; the
C Light Industrial Districts; and the C-1 General Industrial Districts,
in that many of the presently permitted uses will not be permitted if
the recommendations of the planning consultants are to be implemented.
(7.) That the Town Board further finds that to permit the issuance of building
permits; to permit the change of any present use; to approve any site
plan; or to otherwise authorize or approve any new construction or new
uses in any of the use Districts set-forth in section 100-160(6) hereof,
except as otherwise provided in section 100-163 hereof, until such time
as the Town Board has had a reasonable period of time to enact appropriate
legislation to implement, in whole or in part, the recommendations of
the said planning consultants, would result in a race of diligence of land
owners to apply for and obtain permits and/or other approvals for the
construction of buildings and other improvements or the approval of
uses in such Districts which may be at variance with the use regulations
recommended in the master plan study. That to permit the issuance of
such permits and/or approvals, or the approval of site plans in such
use Districts during the time required by the Town Board to enact
appropriate legislation to implement such recommendations would
frustrate and defeat the intent and purpose of the up-date and revision
of the Town's comprehensive plan for the orderly development of the
town and seriously impair the effectiveness thereof.
(8) It is therefor the intent and purpose of this Article to impose a moratorium
on the issuance of building permits; the approval of site plans; or the
authorization and/or approval of any new construction and/or new uses
on any land located in those areas specified in section 100-162 hereof.

same is authorized by the Town Board, p,~-~uant to the Pr~visio~s of Section 100-
163 of this Article.

PUBLIC HEARING
SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
AUGUST 27, 1985
7:30 P.M.
IN THE MATTER OF A PROPOSED LOCAL LAW ENTITLED "A LOCAL LAW TO
PROVIDE FOR A MORATORIUM IN CERTAIN ZONING USE DISTRICTS".
Present:
Absent:
Supervisor Francis J. Murphy
Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr.
Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh
Councilman James A. Schondebare
Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran
Town Clerk Judith T. Terry
Town Attorney Robert W. Tasker
Justice Raymond W. Edwards
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I would like to open this public hearing and read a notice:
"Public Notice is hereby given that there has been presented to the Town Board of
the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, on the 18th day of July, 1985, a
Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to provide for a Moratorium in certain zoning use
Districts," which reads as follows, to wit: Be it Enacted by the Town Board of the
Town of Southold, as follows:"..concerning a moratorium. It's very long. I would
suggest we waive that part of the reading and Joe, if you would read the notification
of the papers and the bulletin board.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Okay, just to elaborate a little bit, it affects--the
moratorium will affect those commercial districts: "B" Light Busines~ District:s,~
"B-l" General Business Districts, "C" Light Industrial Districts, and "C-I" General
Industrial Districts. And it is to last for a period of six months.
We have affidavits of publication from The Long Island Traveler-Watchman and
from T~he Suffolk Times. Notice that it was posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin
Board by Judith Terry. Notice to all adjoining towns.
We have recommendation from--or notice from the Department of Planning of
the County of Suffolk indicating this is a matter for local determination.
We have a copy of a report from the Town Planning Board. This report is
a couple of written pages, so I think I'll summarize what it says. The feeling of
the Town Planning Board is that they are not in favor because they feel it will
do exactly the opposite of what is intended by it. In other words, that it will
create a rush to get applications in before the moratorium is effective. It says,
"If the Town Board is firmly convinced that a moratorium is essential on site plan
approvals, a relief in the review procedure is necessary in order that the Board
not be deluged with processing incomplete and otherwise unsatisfactory applications."
I do believe there is a relief mechanism in this. If I can find the spot I'll read that.
"Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article, the Town Board is authorized
to waive, in whole or in part, any of the provisions of this Article, as it applies to
a aparticular lot, piece or parcel of land affected by this Article, upon a written
application of the owner filed with the town clerk. If the Town Board, upon consider-
ation of all relevant facts and circumstances, determines that the waiver requested will
not authorize or permit the use of land or premises for any use that is inconsistent
with or in conflict with the provisions of the proposed legislation to implement the
Master Plan up-date, it may grant a waiver of the provisions of this Article as it
·°age 2 - Local Law - Mo.,torium
may apply to such land. In making such determination, the Town Board may impose
such reasonable conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate to observe the spirit
and intent of this Article." In other words, if a project is going to conform to the
new Master Plan, the Town Board may waive the moratorium for that particular parcel.
That's all I have, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. We've heard the official notice and the notice
that it was duly posted and advertised. Is there anybody here who would like to
speak in favor of this proposed moratorium? (No response.) Is there anyone would
like to speak in opposition to? Sir?
KEITH KAMMERER: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the Board. I'm appearing
on behalf of Allan Smith, Counsel to 125-127 Main Street Corporation. I'm here to
express our client's observat|ons and objections to the moratorium that is the subject
of this public hearing. In sporting events there are provisions for calling for a"time
out',. However, the right to own land and the inherent rights to the use of that land
is not: a sporting event. Those are inviolate rights. If you call a "time out" and
acknowledge that you have failed to have done in the past that which you seek to
accomplish now by suspending people's rights to the use of their property but punish
yourselves, not taxpaying owners of property, you do not act fairly when you call
"time out". You are taking away the ability to use land. Do you give a tax abatement
on this basis? I do not criticize the concerns of the Board. I applaud efforts to solve
the problems of affordable housing to the young and to provide for the senior citizens.
Those efforts, however, have occurred without the suspension of property rights. But
in this instance you seek to place the use of land in a void. No one can tell, no one
can predict what can be done with those properties that are currently in the "B", "B-l",
"C" and "C-1" zones, nor where new commercial and business enterprises will be located;
how much the cost of the land will be in those new areas; whether substantial public or
private improvements will be necessary in order to utilize those properties and how many
employment opportunities will be irretrievably lost during this void. Your Master Plan
will locate "C" and "C-1" zones in areas that are predominately in use already. There
can be and will be no expansion of job opportunities by such calculated and premeditated
tunnel vision. Although this tactic appears to give the appearance of fairness, that
appearance is a sham. You strive to erect a backbone of your tax base on secondary
residences, but I ask you, will this make homes more affordable for your native sons
and daughters? Will this moratorium serve to create new local employment opportunities
for these native sons and daughters? Or are you willing to send them elsewhere for
housing and elsewhere to work? Is it your desire to relegate the year-round residents
to be the caretakers for vacation home owners? And how many of those people will
participate in the backbone of the community and constitute the neighborhood that
those 'who have grown up here know and love so dearly? Where, members of the
Board, will the next generation of volunteer firefighters come from? It is no easy
task te please anyone, however, leadership means doing what is best for all. Moderation
is a virtue of that leadership role, but suspending the rules means suspending the
lives and livlihoods of a number of people. It is fundamentally unfair. If government
in the name of governing is unfair, then what has government become? It is certainly
lesser democracy and it is certainly more totalitarian. What you are proposing to do
is suspend the right to use land under the existing law in anticipation of implementing
a new law. This presupposes that you have, in fact, determined to change the existing
law and have gone through legal formalities while you call "time out". Your town planner
in his letter to the Planning Board of July 29th states this, "Moratoria is best utilized
when a public health threat is involved and adoption is swift to insure the validity
and achievement of the desired result." Where was the moratoria when the groundwater
was polluted by Temik? Was there a moratoria on agriculture? Was there a rezoning
of agricultural land? Of course not. Why, then, in the absence of so clear a threat,
and without any acknowledgment of technological advances that can minimize and in
-Page 3 - Local Law - Mo. atorium
some cases eliminate pollution, are you so eager to suspend the law? Let me point
out that environment includes social and economic environment. Any changes affecting
those items of the environment are subject to close judicial scrutiny and review. As
you are well aware, changes of the Town's land use plans are subject to the State
Environmental Quality Review Act. There is no moratorium provision in SEQR. It
is not the finger of a courageous hand that pulls the trigger in haste only to find
the innocent victimized. You, members of the Board, have your finger on the trigger
of government. I urge you to exercise forbearance and not haste. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else would like to speak in
opposition to this proposed moratorium? (No response.) Anyone else here? (No
response.) Anyone like to make any comments? Any members of the Town Board?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes. Counselor, have you looked to see if your
client's property is going to be adversely affected under the proposed Master Plan?
MR. KAMMERER: Yes.
COUNCILMAN SCHODEI~ARE: Is it the proposed Master Plan category for your
client's property different than what it is presently zoned now?
MR. KAMMERER: It will be.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: So whether you get the moratorium or you get the
Master Plan, either way you're not going to be happy?
MR. JAMIE MILLS: That's not the point.
MR. KAMMERER: I'm not sure that happiness is a criteria under which review of
this Master Plan and implementation of the moratorium is a concern of the Board.
There will be an affect if in fact that Master Plan is adopted and implemented through
the changes in land use. However, what you're doing is suspending the rights on
the basis of a law that is not in effect so that you may implement a law in the absence
of any clear and immediate danger to anyone. There have been in the past imminent
danger and the Board has failed to act in such a manner. To do so now we believe
shows a lack of compassion for those people who will be immediately affected by the
suspension of a use of ti~eir property, while the Board is making up its mind. And
as I've indicated, when you declare a moratoria based upon a proposed law that is
not in effect, you have in fact by that moratoria put the new law in effect. The
very relief mechanism that you have says, if you're going to comply with the law
that's not in effect yet, we will give you a waiver. Well, haven't you in fact under-
scored the fact that you have already chosen in your minds to implement those. I
think you have given a certain aura of having made up your minds by the very action
and the relief provisions that you are now indicating will exist in that moratoria.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Have you written to us to state to us that the
proposed change, the Master Plan proposal, is contrary to what you'd like to see?
Have 'you sent us and put us on notice as to your client's wishes?
MR. KAMMERER: I am putting you on notice as of tonight.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: What parcel are you talking about?
--Page, 4 - Local Law - Mu, atorium
MR. KAMMERER: I will be happy t~ forward any information that the Board would
like me to forward on the basis of this presentation.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Why don't you send us a letter stating what parcel
it is you're referring to. We're in the process now of changing the zoning maps,
so other people have advised us of their position. I don't remember hearing anything
from you or Mr. Smith's office, so could you send us a letter so that we know?
MR. KAMMERER: Okay. Let me put it in this context. To the extent that you have
existing facilities that may become non-conforming pre-existing uses you have in
effect on certain already established commercial enterprises to the extent that there
is land that is currently available and within the current zoning ordinances that would
allow a person to either expand his existing production or to relocate it. One cannot
now, under the moratorium and under this proposal, make a determination as to whether
or not that land must be located now under the zoning classifications under the new
Master Plan. When you do that you have created a hiatus because no one can make an

or not it's going to be for sale.

look at the Master Plan and see what the proposal is for that parcel.

on existing commercial and business zoned properties?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: You're correct.
MR. MILLS: No oneJs discussing the Master Plan.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEB^RE: You're correct. I withdraw my questions. You need
not send us any letter if you don't like to with regards to your client's property.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else would like to make any comments? (No
response.) Any members of the Town Board like to make any comments? (No response.)
If not, I would like to close this public hearing. Thank you for attending.

ARTICLE XVI
MORATORIUM
Section 100. 160 Findings and
Purpose
(13 In November of 1982, the
Town Board authorized the
Southold Tova~ Planning
Board to retain the services
of Raymond, Pardsh, Pine &
Weiner, planning consul-
tants for the purpose of con-
ducting such studies and
making such recommenda-
tions as such consultants
deemed appropriate to up-
date the existing comprehen-
sive plan of the Town, incind-
lng the Town's present zon-
lng code and zoning map.
(2.) In May of 1985, said consul-
tants presented to the Plan-
ning Board and the Town
Board a report of their study,
together with recommended
planning maps, a zoning
map, and a draft of recom-
mended revisions to the
Town's present zoning code.
(3.) That since the presentation
of the consultants' report and
recommendations, the Town
Board, the Planning Board,
and the Board of Appeals
have individually and collec-
tively been reviewing such
report and recommenda-
tions.
(4.) That upon the completion of
such review, the Town Board
will conduct informal public
meetings in the various ham-
lets of the town to afford the
public an opportunity to
press ira views and make re-
commendations with respect
to such report and recom-
mendattons.
(5.) That at the conclusion of
such hamlet meetings, the
Town Board will further re-
view the proposed amend-
mente to the Town's zoning
code and zoning map, giving
consideration to all com-
mente and recommendations
presented at such meetings,
and will then propose a Local
Law to implement the said
mastor plan study, incor-
porating such revisions
therein as it deems approp-
riate. The Town Board will
then refer the same to the
Town Planning Board and
the Suffolk County Planning
Commission for their review
and recommendations, as re-
' qnired by law, and thereafter
hold a public bearing
thereon, as required by law,
on the question of the enact-
ment of such Local Law to
implement, in whole or in
part, the recommendations
proposed by the Master Plan
Study conducted by said con-
SUltants.
(6.) That the Town Board finds
that many of the zoning code
and zoning map amendments
recommended by the plan-
ning consultant are inconsis-
tent with the present zoning
map and zoning code with re-
spoct to uses in the B Light
Business Districts; the B-1
General Business Districts;
the C Light Industrial Dis-
tricLs; mid the C-1 General
Industrial Districts, in that
many of the presently per-
mitted uses ~ill not be per-
mittod if th~ reconunenda-
tions of the planning consul-
tanto are to be implemented.

thorize or approve any new
construction or new uses in

hereof, until such time as the
Town Board has had a
reasonable poried of time to
e~act appropriate legislation
