Dated: November 2~, 1992. Judith T. Terry, Southold Town Clerk." I have in front of me proof of publication · Pg 4 - LL Affordable Hc~ing in The Suffolk Times, and proof of publication in The Long Island Traveler- Mattituck Watchman, and a proof that it's been published out there on the Bulletin Board. Communications received by the Town Clerk Office in connection with this proposal is first sornething dated November 17th, from Arthur FI. I(unz, Director of Planning, County of Suffolk, which basically says that the' Suffolk County Planning Commission considers this to be a matter of local determination· A decision of local determination should not be construed as either an approval or disapproval. We have dated November 24th, a letter to the Town Clerk from the Planning Board with it's comments on this proposul, and I read this as follows. Be it resolved that the Planning Board has reviewed proposed legislation, which calls for several amendments to the definitions, and provisions, of the Affordable Housing District of the Zoning Code, and recommends that it not be adopted as written. Our reasons for taking thi's position are below. (1) The amendment to the definition for a moderate income family improved lot allows the developer to include the cost of utilities in the price of the lot. This seems to contradict the amendment to the definition of the moderate income family dwelling unit. That's the house. IYhich prohibits inclusion of utilities in the purchase price of the lot with t;he house. We are concerned that this wording may have the effect pf encouraging developers to sell lots, rather than homes. Number 2, the proposed change from a two step process, to a three step process, will add a step where better coordination will suffice. It will also have the more serious effect of putting the Town Board in the awkward and legally vulerable position of approving the prelimena~y concept plan prior to the completion of the environmental review. Further, the proposed deletion of the term site plan, and fees for the review of same from this and subsequent sections of the Code, will exempt from Planning Board review all proposals attached housing complexes in this district, such as apartments, townhouses, whether affordable or not. Number three, the proposed amendment to Section 100-55F(2).will have the dual affect of discouraging the construction of affordable housing within a year or two after the re-zoning, when it is needed, and simulta- neously will encourage speculative rezoning to the higher density. Removal of the short time frame to initiate, and complete construction will remove all incentive to meet the housing need of the short-term, which are ironically was the original intent of the AHD procedure. Further, allowing for an indefinite number of extentions for an indefinite number of years, practically guarantees that a developer will build affordable housing 'on a timetable, that may not coincide with the Town's need for that housing, Four, we support the change in Section 100-56D to require a five year hiatus, instead of the three years between home, or lot ownership eligibility to purchase an 'affordable house, or lot. However, we would like to justification for the five year period. A longer yet period of time may be advisable. Also, eligibility should be based on total net worth, and not present income· The use of present income alone i~s a significant loophole, that works in favor of those who have significant non-liq~id assets, and against those who do n~t. Four, Section 100-56F(4)(b) could Be deleted. We do not support the continued doubling or quadrupling the residentiall district in the hamlet areas in order to create more affordable lots to replace theiones to become exempt from the terms of the program. Further, since there is a serious doubt in our minds, that the AHD program is me~tjfltZf th~ Iow to middle incolme needs of this community, we question the wisdom of continuing to operate it as it is structured. Five, the proposed new section on covenants and restrictions will create additional work for the Town Board, and the Planning Board, as well as increase the review time. If this sub-section is adopted ail covenants and restrictions that may be required from the Suffolk County Planning Commission, or the Planning Board, will have to be placed on the Town Board agenda for action before the Planning Board could proceed. Six, last one, The violation section could be strengthened by defining each violation as a separate offense, and by specifying who will make the determination as to · Pg ~ - LL Affordable Hou~4~g whether a violation has occurred. Finally we not that the Town's entire policy regarding affordable housing is under review by the Planning and Zoning Committee with the assistance of members of the Stewardship Task Force. We therefore recommend tabling any changes of the Zoning Code pertaining to the Affordable Housing District, until that committee completes it's review. Sincerely, Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Chairman. That's all of the communications we have on this proposal. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Any questions, Judge, on that? JUSTICE EDWARDS: I have a question, where it sp6ke about bringing in the utilities. It said, water, electricity, telephone, but it didn't s'ay anything about sewers. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: There was reference to it. JUSTICE EDWARDS: There was reference to sewers? TOWN CLERK TERRY: It doesn't say anything about sewers. JUSTICE EDWARDS: It doesn't? It should, shouldn't it? TOWN CLERK TERRY: It says, utiltities under this article shall be defined as electric, gas, if provided to the subdivision, telephone and water. Cabelvision shall be provided without cost only to the lot line. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Shouldn't sewer be put in there? TOWN CLERK TERRY: We can't do it, unless you re-amend this, and we're not going to be doing that. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Let's hear from the public, and then we can work on it. Are there any members of the audience, that would like to address this Board in reference to this Local Law amendment? Margaret? MARGARET BROWN: I'm Margaret Brown, and actually I'm very unprepared, because I don't have re×t, which is my own fault, and I don't I~ave a letter, so this is a little off the top of my head. First of all, I think you should take heed of what's been said from the Planning Board. I think they made ar] excellent point, and including the last paragraph. Perhaps hold off until the Task Force has done more thorough work in the whole subject of placement of affordable housing, what the recommendations are going to come out of that committee. But, then I have two specific questions. In the first place, the three steps that need to be gone through, eliminated site plan review, and I didn't hear that it resurfaced any place else. So, I'm wondering if site plans are no longer going to be reviewed for affordable housing? If there really is a question there, I wonder why the site plan is not included. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Again, Margeret, the Board is just listening for imput. The Town Attorney would like to answer. TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: Site Plan is a misnomer. It didn't belong in there in the first place. Site Plan has to do with commercial, not residential. If you take a look at it, the Board still has the same review powers under subdi~tision plat approval. It just was eliminated in language, which really had no meaning. · Pg 6 - LL Affordable Ho~,,g ,~--, SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I hope that answers it. MARGARET BROWN: My other question is about the time.limit for affordable housing, and I'm not really right now concerned about this. Specific time limits, that I wondered why the Board cares, how long something should be eligible to be affordable housing without taking action on it? Let's say, I choose to make an affordable law, and I don't do anyth'ing with it. It just sits there, and apply to affordable law, and then I don't build anything for eighteen months or a year. Is there anything that. damages the Town? What should I say? Is it damaging to the town to have affordable housing sites sitting there? Does it somehow degrade the tbwn, or why couldn't it just be open ended? TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: Margaret, first of all, individual sites are really not what this Code anticipates, nor do I believe that you could have your second lot classified. You might be able to, but I think the cost intended to change the zone for one lot might be prohibitive, and certainly.. But in reality affordable housing was designed in the spirit behind the law, which was to say we have a need. A developer comes in, and says, I believe I want to develop this parcel, and make it affordable housing. The Board will then determine, hear what they have to say, and try to make a determination on need. Now, if they then grant that application, and then the next week another person comes in, and says, we want to put up an affordable housing project. The Board might be reluctant to grant that, saying, we really don't think we need that, because we gave the first person something. Now, if that first person does nothing, and sits on his or her hands for an indefinite period of time, the Board wants, to reserve the right after a specific period of time, to revoke that reclass,ification, so they can get on with it, and deal w~th more worthy applicants. I don~t know if that answers your question, but that's certainly the reason ~vhy this is being addressed in this manner. MARGARET BROWN: To some e×tent, this answers my question, however, I wouldn't think that people would be rushing out to do affordable housing, since they're not going to make as much money' as if they're doing luxury housing'. TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: That may, or may not be true. MARGARET BROWN: I&m surprised that you are limiting, that the Town itself wants..l don't see any limits drawn, that there will be limits on the affordable housing, that would be allowed in the town, and that's something I think you should think about, and I will finish with one comment to reinforce my feelings the Task Force should have more input, and that is there are many ways that affordable housing can be accomplished. It can be in tract, so that you'have a whole section of affordable housing, rather than scattered through the village. There are wide ranging possibilities, and I don't think we ~now at this point, what the best solution is for affordable housing in this towb, but I do think having whole subdivisions, that are devoted to affordable housincl invites degradation of our community. I thint~ in the long run ¥ot~ may'be better off to have it scattered throughout the town, so that.. I SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Margaget, again, I rarely answer during a public hearing, but the Master Plan defines where affordable housing is in this town. It's very specific, and it does not at all elaborate on any areas outside efa half a mile from the hamlet centers. It's very specific '~,here the}, can be located. They're floating districts. There is no otl~er areas, that are made available by the Code, the Master Plan, as it's in effect right now. . Pg 7 - LI_ Affordable Ho~:~ g MARGARET BROWN: I certainly respect that, but I think that's one thing the Task Force can do. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: And that deals with public water, by the way. Public water is prerequisite for any of that. .MARGARET BROWN: The whole thing I hope is going to be reviewed at least by the Task Force, the whole concept. I think it would be wise to wait at least if there's no reason to rush into this change, and wait and see what comes out of the Task Force. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, Margaret. 'Linda? LINDA LEVY: Good evening. My name is Linda Levy, and I'm the Southold Coordinator for the North Fork Environmental Council. After reviewing the proposed amendment to the Affordable Housing District of the .Zoning Code, the NFEC would like to raise a number of concerns. First, the amendment to Section 100-55F(2) relating to the expiration of an Affordable Housing District would allbw for the uses of the AHD in two different manners. By removing the short time frame for completion of the construction, the town would be allowing the developer to sit on an approved plan, until it was most convenient for him to build, as opposed to providing housing when needed by the town. It is possible under that scenerio for a developer to get approval for an AHD, because of an existing need, which in fact might never be met. At the same time, by extending the time frame the town makes the AHD zoning more attractive to builders. The developer could apply for AHD, and the higher density, and wait to see if the market and other forces make it desirable for them to build. In short, this amendment takes the timing of the actual construction of the housing under the control of the developer, when the control should remain with the Town. After all, the Town is granting the AHD zoning to fill a specific need. You should have some guarantee that the need was met. We are unclear of the rational for the addition of Section 110-57C8 covenents and restrictions. It seems that there may be some C&R's, that may be requested by other agencies, that would not need to be reviewed by the Town Board. If, there are specific CsR's that the Town Board would like jurisdiction over, perhaps they could be de!ineated. Otherwise, it seems that this could lead to a cumbersome decision making process at a future date. We are also concerned as we have mentioned regularly in the past few months, that these amendments are being brought in a piecemeal fashion. The Planning and Zoning Committee has been reviewing the AHD zoning and it's application in the Town to date. The Stewardship Task Force is certainly looking at AHD zoning, as it deal with issues of hamlet density. Now, the Legislative Committe is proposing these~changes. Apparently three different groups within our Town government are currently trying to address the same general issue. We would like to see any changes to be made as one coherent package, rather than looking at these amendments one week, and then another set next month, etc., etc. While it may be, quote, easy to change the Code, it would advisable to take the opportunity when we have it, of making the Law a good one from the outset. Thank you. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Ruth? RUTH OLIVA: Ruth Oliva. It's too bad, that you didn't spend some time, I think, discussing this Affordable Housing Ordinance in your Work Session of the Town Board, because I think all of us would have. benefited by your legislative intent, the intent to different sections. This way we just have to go by what is read, and that perhaps is not exactly what you meant by it. In Section 100-51, the . Pg 8 - LL Affordable HorLey,rig developer must be responsible for the hookup for the home, but not for the purchase of a Int. The inference here is that the developer would find it cheaper to sell lots rather than houses, and I think we do want the houses. In the application procedure 100-55a, why is site plan deleted? If it is a 50-50 proposition with town houses, and the other 50% would be affordable site plan would be required of a multiple dwelling, or perhaps the AHD would be built in multiple housing. Would not a site plan be required? I would like to submit for your review changes the old Housing C~mmittee had developed a few years ago, whereby the Town Board, and the Planning.Board worked together. I'll give these to Judy. Also, I believe that one ~;EQR process would alway be the norm without putting it in the Code. It would be a joint effort between the two Boards. In Section 100-55a, your words, reasor~able diligence, are subjective, and the developer would be at the mercy of a Town Board. If he, or she, would desire, or like by the Board, the project could go ever. Would we not want to see deserving people get their homes as soon as possible? Or, on the other hand, if a developer incurs the wrath of 'the Board, for one reason or another, he could be stopped in the middle of his project. The term, reasonable diligence, leaves too much descretion. Definite time periods are preferable. Housing should be built sooner, rather than later. S~ction 100-56d, should include site plan. Period. Section 100-56b, why increase from three years to five years? What' was the rational for that? On face value, it seems the Town Board is being restrictive to people needing affordable housing. Section 100-56F(4)(b), I think this needs more discussion. This says, that after seven years you can sell it market value. How are we going to be able to keep affordable housing at that rate? Section 100-57C(8), C&R's, would this language be pref~rrable? In approving the Affordable Housing District, the Town Board shall have the right to require the applicant, and/or' the owner, and all persons having an interest in the premises to execute an agCeement in recordable form containing such restrictions, covenants, terms, and conditions as it deem necessary to accomplish the intent and purpose of this article. This is something we had come up with in the old Housing Committee. I believe this would include the Planning Board and the Suffolk County Planning Commission with their advisements~ Section 100-59, Violations, just what are the specific violations? You just mention them in grey terms, but what's specific for each amount, I think is preferable. Again, it leaves it wide open. I don't understand what they're going to be for. Basically, it seems to me that the most important thing is for the Planning Board, and the Town Board to be working in concert, because that's what it's going to take for these affordable housing projects to get off the ground, and really go off running, and that's really what we need. Thank you. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Did I see a hand up? John? JOHN COSTELLO: My name is John Costello. I'm probably the only one here that has invested ten dollars in affordable housing in Southold Town. I get conflicting feelings about some of the comments. I'm not sure, that Ruth Oliva is not advocating socialism. Suffolk County Planning Department writes you a form letter. Some interest. You should ask them for another letter. It's going to be very difficult to address any portion of the concerns on this in. five minutes. You should spend months. This is incredible. It's a pathetic attempt. You know what you're trying to design. You're trying to design something to help you, help yourself, help your citizentry of Southold Town. Well, you're doing it. I feel the answer is, no. You need hamlet densities. You need affordable housing. You need it in Mattituck. You need it in Cutchogue. You need it in Peconic. You had spurts of it in Southold. .You've had spurts of it in Greenport. It has eleviated a portion of it. Whereas, you're trying to have the intent of not incurring the utility cost of the housing unit to the new landowners, you have a set price. · Pg 9 - LL Affordable Ho,u'~,~g '~'~, What encouragement are you offering for development? None. I can tell you, open your eyes, there has been a couple of these affordable housing developments go on. Look at their profits. One is going bankrupt. I was involved with one, only was paid for half. There is no profit. They're not going to help you help yourself without you having the concern. I could go through so many items on this list. l.t's, its.. The public water, what do save, increase them off the face. You don't know if the Village of Greenport is going to incur problems, have legislated, mandated, processes added on. The price is set. The price is the same. Too bad, you eliminated the developing. You eliminated the concern. You have to meet the needs. You need a floating zone. .The Planning Board has ten years experience in affordab]e housing. Listen to them. Most of it 'is Tight. Most of it is right on. Many of you individuals weren't even on the Board, Mr. Raymond Edwards has been through it all, but it's a complex, complex issue. Some of this is ludicrous, whereas, the Town requests a seven year..what intitles, what intitles the Town to any profit? These kids are taking the risks. The developers are taking the risks. What risks entitled the Town to a high percentage of profit? Ruth Oliva thinks that seven years is too short. Bunk. This is not a debate. This is not a debate, and the intention of this is to get equity that these kids put into these projects, is an important ingredient that is missing from the whole law. If they go out there, and put the sweat equity, and improve their properties, have no cost to their labor, who's the beneficiary in the first seven years? Town. of Southold. Wrong. It's unfair. It increases. You're not guaranteeing any profit to any developer by giving increased densities, l'll guarantee you. You're not guaranteeing anything. You're trying to satisfy a need 6'f your constituencies Do that, and you'll be doing a good job. Thank you. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you/ John. Are there any members of the audience, that would like to address this Local Law change? DAVE ABATELLI: I'm Dave Abatelli. I'm from the North Fork Housing Alliance. I'm the manager. I'm essentially going to have apoligize for really not being prepared, because I came mostly tonight just to listen, and get a little bit of background. But, just in hearing, you know, what's been said, and the little bit I know about the Town's older Affordable Housing Law, and the new one, I'm just really not sure exactly how is what is happening to really like moving forward, and solving any real problems, and things like that. So, haven't had an opportunity to talk this over with our staff, or the Board, so I really can't really speak for our organization, but briefly just hearing what people have said tonight, aod the letter the Planning Board Chairman. I would think that there should be more time, and thought put into this. I don~t think we're quite there yet. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: That's what the pubic hearings are for.
