specifications. In making this decision, the Planning Board shall take into consideration
the benefit to the applicant, as weighed against the detriment to the health, safety and
welfare of the neighborhood or community. In making such determination, the Planning
Board shall also consider: (1) whether an undesirable change will be produced in the
character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties will be created by the
granting of the amendments; (2) whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be
achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than the sought
variance; (3) whether the variance is substantial; (4) whether the proposed variance will
have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or district; and (5) whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which
shall be relevant to the decision but shall not necessarily preclude the proposed
amendment or variance. This provision supersedes and amends New York State Town
Law §§267, 267-a, 267-b and 267-c insofar as these sections give such authority to the
Zoning Board of Appeals. Any amendment to highway specifications shall meet with the
approval of the Highway Superintendent.
§280-29. Application procedure.
A. Application and fees. The application for rezoning shall be filed with the Town Clerk, in
a form approved by the Town Board and available in the office of the Town Clerk. Fees
applicable to the AHD zoning application shall be set by resolution of the Town Board.
B. Application procedure. The procedure for approval of any future development in a
proposed AHD District shall involve a three-stage review process as follows:
(1) Approval by the Town Board of a preliminary development concept plan.
(2) Approval of the final, detailed subdivision plat or site plan by the Planning Board.
In an AHD zone, §280-137(A)(5) is inapplicable and the allowable density of
MIFDUs shall be determined by the following yield calculation:
(a) Buildable land (square feet) divided by the minimum land area per dwelline
unit= number of MIFDUs.
(3) The zoning classification by the Town Board of a specific parcel or parcels of
land for development in accordance with that plan.*
§280-30. General regulations and requirements.
H. If more than one MIFDU exists on a sinile lot, the dwelling units must either all be
owner occupied or tenant occupied units.
III. 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.
IV. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided
by law.
Amendments to Chapter 280 Public Hearing
August 26, 2014 7
I have a notice that this was posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin board. I also have a notarized
affidavit of publication in the Suffolk Times. I have a letter from the Planning Board and I will
read it briefly. "Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the above local law to
amend chapter 280. These amendments are important to ensure that more options become
available for the creation of housing for our residents of moderate income. The amendments
accomplish this by simplifying the permitted uses, clarifying the potential for an all rental model
for development at the same density as an owner-occupied model and improving the application
process through allowing the yield to be calculated rather than mapped. Simplifying the
permitted uses and making them specific to the zoning district provides clarity to an applicant
about the options for development. In addition, while an all-rental model technically could have
been accomplished in the code previous to these amendments, there was conflicting language
that made it unclear. Providing a calculation for the yield also provides clarity to the applicant
and is more cost effective than having to produce a yield plan. All of these amendments
improve the overall process for creating affordable housing and we hope will result in more
housing being created under this zoning district." I do have a letter here from the LWRP
coordinator, where they found this to be a type II action and therefore is not subject to SEQRA
review. And finally I have another letter from LWRP finding it consistent with the LWRP
policy standards and there consistent with the LWRP. And finally I have a letter from the
Suffolk County Planning Commission, "Pursuant to the requirements of section A 14-14 to 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 for local
determination as there is no apparent significant county-wide or inter-community impacts. A
decision of local determination should not be construed as either an approval or disapproval."
And that is it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would invite anybody that would like to comment on this
particular local law to please feel free.
CHUCK MOGUL: Chuck Mogul, Cutchogue. A couple of questions. Number one, why didn't
we have the actual code available here tonight so we could review it before the vote? I know it is
at the clerk's office but it should have been here as well.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: It is on the agenda.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Actually, it is located right in the agenda.
MR. MOGUL: It is?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: 735.
MR. MOGUL: For instance, there is no description, detailed description as to the AHD district.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The description with regard to the Affordable Housing District?
MR. MOGUL: Yes. Where is the AHD district?
Amendments to Chapter 280 Public Hearing
August 26, 2014 8
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We don't have, it is a floating zone. It is an overlay zoning that
basically when someone comes in with a proposal that is accepted by the town, we overlay that
zoning onto whatever the underlying zoning might be. But there is a great deal of criteria that go
into that zoning.
MR. MOGUL: Yeah but we should be able to see that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But there is no map of it. the projects will come in one at a time and
they will all be subject to a public hearing, basically a code hearing. So there is no area, there is
no one specific parcel right now that's proposed for affordable housing.
MR. MOGUL: Okay. The problem with affordable housing if of course, the cost of the land.
And of course finding a builder, probably a non-profit that is willing to do it, as they did in
Mattituck. Very difficult at best. So even though we are making these modifications, it doesn't
necessarily mean we are going to get more affordable housing out of this.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It might now. Look, I think the model that was in Mattituck was
fine but I think it is probably an unrealistic model in the future. I think the lack of grants and
subsidies at federal, state and county level are just not going to be there.
MR. MOGUL: That's right.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think this is going to have to be a solution that will hopefully be
more or less solved by private industry, builders. But then you have to have serious discussions
about density. Under the current density and the lack of public sewers, I don't think the density
per acre is going to make too many of the projects feasible but it doesn't mean that we are not
trying to look at every opportunity that comes in the door.
MR. MOGUL: Right. Okay, thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment on this local law? Ray?
RAY HUNTINGTON: Good evening, Ray Huntington, Cutchogue. I would like to, well, first
of all I have no doubt that many would like to see more young people in our town, so this is a
positive. But many would also agree that government has a poor record of legislating social
`improvements' particularly at the national level. Less so at the local level because you are
closer to it and that is a plus but up island we have seen an abundance of failures in affordable
housing over the years. A couple of things mark those failures, one, absentee landlords and
that's part of this legislation. And another is the concentrations that come with it or at least have
come with it up island. Big projects, no management, no supervision of the investment what's
on site and being close to things is good management. We are moving in an opposite direction
here. Of course, on the good side of this I guess you could say that you would, well first of all,
let me say that I am sure you recognize as you worked on this that the move is not without risk.
We have risk here, so how can we mitigate that risk? And what assurances do we have, well,
maybe I used the wrong word. Assurances isn't perhaps what can be applied here but how can
we, what does the, what's in the legislation that augers away from concentration and away from
Amendments to Chapter 280 Public Hearing
August 26, 2014 9
absentee landlords or at least puts controls on those landlords so that they would behave in a way
that they would if they were on site. I don't see much in the legislation that does that. of course,
we don't have many affordable housing districts but that's another part of the concentration
picture. There is nothing in the code that limits how many we could have as we just pointed out,
if a person makes a proposition, it would be considered by the board and perhaps passed. And I
suppose this is where the board's judgment as to how many we can tolerate comes into play. But
certainly that does, that's a factor that downstream is going to count a lot. So the bottom line is,
what does the board think it can do beyond the legislation to affect the performance of an
absentee landlord and to minimize concentration or actually looking at it in a positive way, to
distribute this around town, distribute affordable housing around town so that it becomes a strand
in our fabric and not a wart.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I address some of the issues you just raised? Or do you still
have more?
MR. HUNTINGTON: I have no more.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay.
MR. HUNTINGTON: I don't know whether it is appropriate but I would like to hear your
thoughts as well.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It is more than appropriate, it's why we are here. I will just speak to
the issue of the no limit on AHD or Affordable Housing District zoning. There is currently no
limit now so that scenario could play out in, under any administration, that you could simply
create as many AHD zones in the concentrated area as you want. This doesn't change that
equation. What it does is it looks at affordable housing a little bit more realistically. The notion
of being able to build these communities and try to build yourself out of a crisis, it's people,
younger people having a much more difficult time getting mortgages, they are not finding the
type of career employment that they need in Southold Town but at the end of the day, when you
look at the list, many of these people what they need is starter housing. What they need is a
place to live and be able to develop some equity so they can step into the regular market. We
have an affordable housing commission that will have oversight here, we also have a Town
Board that will have oversight. Any type of management agreement or assurances that these
properties are maintained, maintained well and that they are kept to their original mission which
is to house people who qualify for affordable housing can all be spelled out in these proposals as
they come forward. There's no current assurances either, we have already tried to address some
of the affordable housing zoning by limiting resale, I think we certainly can do this for any new
proposal with regard to the intent of this.
MR. HUNTINGTON: Yes. What powers does the coordinator have?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The coordinator? He is an administrator. I am not sure he has
singular authority, he is an administrator. Generally all of the proposals come to the Town
Board...
Amendments to Chapter 280 Public Hearing
August 26, 2014 10
MR. HUNTINGTON: Does he clear the person who is applying or?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, we have a qualifying list and that has to go through a fairly
rigorous qualification guideline, I think ultimately, don't they get independently approved by,
when there are subsidies available?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: If there are....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If there are subsidies available but they also have to be screened by
HUD or the qualifying organization like CDC built in Mattituck.
TOWN JUSTICE EVANS: But it is not just an income for affordable housing, there is a priority
list of living and working in the town and then I think it comes down to living in the town.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would also mention we changed it a few years ago so that the first
priority would be people living in the school district.
TOWN JUSTICE EVANS: Yes.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If you are going to create 15 apartments for 15 people that live in
Mattituck, there's, the people are already there.
MR. HUNTINGTON: That addresses the tenant as it were, what addresses the landlord?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Those would be management agreements and conditions upon
which the approval would be given and we would have to make sure they are enforceable
provisions.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: And they are reviewed yearly.
MR. HUNTINGTON: By the administrator?
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: By the town, by the administrator, yes.
MR. HUNTINGTON: So if the performance should go downhill, there is a penalty of some
kind?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: When you say performance, you mean the property management?
MR. HUNTINGTON: Yes.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, that is something that we would have to address at any
proposal. A management agreement, certain conditions that need to be met and an enforcement
mechanism for them.
MR. HUNTINGTON: That sounds good, I think can prove very important. Thank you.

B. The Planning Board shall have the authority to reduce or amend yard setback
requirements, lot dimension requirements, parkinp-requirements, and highway
specifications. In making this decision, the Planning Board shall take into
consideration the benefit to the applicant, as weighed against the detriment to the
health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community. In making such
determination, the Planning Board shall also consider: (1)whether an undesirable
change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties will be created by the granting of the amendments; (2) whether
the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for
the applicant to pursue, other than the sought variance; (3) whether the variance is
substantial; (4) whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or
impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district; and (5) whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which shall be
relevant to the decision but shall not necessarily preclude the proposed
amendment or variance. This provision supersedes and amends New York State

authority to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any amendment to highway
specifications shall meet with the approval of the Highway Superintendent.
§280-29. Application procedure.
A. Application and fees. The application for rezoning shall be filed with the Town
Clerk, in a form approved by the Town Board and available in the office of the
Town Clerk. Fees applicable to the AHD zoning application shall be set by
resolution of the Town Board.
B. Application procedure. The procedure for approval of any future development in
a proposed AHD District shall involve a three-stage review process as follows:
(1) Approval by the Town Board of a preliminary development concept plan.
(2) Approval of the final, detailed subdivision plat or site plan by the Planning
Board. In an AHD zone, X280-137(A)(5) is inapplicable and the
allowable density of MIFDUs shall be determined bv_ the following yield
calculation:
(a) Buildable land (square feet) divided by the minimum land area per
dwelling unit= number of MIFDUs.
(3) The zoning classification by the Town Board of a specific parcel or
parcels of land for development in accordance with that plan.*
§280-30. General regulations and requirements.
H. If more than one MIFDU exists on a single lot, the dwelline_ units must either all
be owner occupied or tenant occupied units.
III. 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.
IV. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as
provided by law.

requirements, lot dimension requirements, parkinv requirements, and highway

determination, the Planning Board shall also consider: (1) whether an undesirable
change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties will be created by the granting of the amendments; (2) whether
the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for
the applicant to pursue, other than the sought variance; (3) whether the variance is
substantial; (4) whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or
impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or

a proposed AHD District shall involve a three-stage review process as follows:
(1) Approval by the Town Board of a preliminary development concept plan.
(2) Approval of the final, detailed subdivision plat or site Dlan by the Planning
Board. In an AHD zone, §280-137(A)(5) is inapplicable and the
allowable density of MIFDUs shall be determined by the following yield
calculation:
(aa) Buildable land (square feet) divided by the minimum land area per
dwelling unit=number of MIFDUs.
(3) The zoning classification by the Town Board of a specific parcel or
parcels of land for development in accordance with that plan.*
§280-30. General regulations and requirements.
H. If more than one MIFDU exists on a single lot, the dwelling units must either all
be owner occupied or tenant occupied units.
III. 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.
IV. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as
provided by law.

SUMMARY OF LL/AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 280, ZONING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DISTRICT
THE PROPOSED LOCAL LAW THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS EVENING'S
PUBLIC HEARING AMENDS CHAPTER 280, ZONING, ARTICLE VI ENTITLED
"AFFORDABLE HOUSING DISTRICT" OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN CODE.
THE PURPOSE OF THESE AMENDMENTS IS TO ALLOW MORE FLEXIBILITY
IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING DISTRICTS BY PERMITTING THE CREATION OF
BOTH. OWNER-OCCUPIED AND TENANT-OCCUPIED MODERATE INCOME
FAMILY DWELLING UNITS WHICH WILL AFFORD A POTENTIAL
DEVELOPER THE FLEXIBILITY TO TAILOR THE USE TO MEET THE NEEDS
OF NOT ONLY THE DEVELOPER, BUT ALSO OF THE SURROUNDING
COMMUNITY.
SPECIFICALLY, THE AMENDMENTS TO §280-27(A) CONDENSE THE FIVE
PERMITTED USES INTO TWO, NAMELY OWNER-OCCUPIED AND TENANT-
OCCUPIED MODERATE INCOME FAMILY DWELLING UNITS, AND
REMOVES ACCESSORY APARTMENTS FROM THE PERMITTED USE
SECTION TO THE MORE APPROPRIATE ACCESSORY USE SECTION.
§280-28 WAS AMENDED TO REFLECT THE NEW DIMENSIONAL
REQUIREMENTS OF THE TWO PERMITTED USES AND TO CREATE A
DENSITY BONUS FOR THE TENANT-OCCUPIED UNITS AND TO ALLOW
THE PLANNING BOARD TO VARY PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
§280-29(B)(2) WAS AMENDED TO ESTABLISH A YIELD CALCULATION TO
DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF MODERATE INCOME FAMILY DWELLING
UNITS THAT MAY EXIST ON A SINGLE PARCEL TO ALLEVIATE THE NEED
FOR AN APPLICANT TO SUBMIT A YIELD PLAN.
THE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS IN §280-30 WERE
AMENDED TO REQUIRE THAT ALL MODERATE INCOME FAMILY
DWELLING UNITS ON A SINGLE LOT MUST BE THE SAME TYPE OF UNIT.
THE FULL TEXT OF THE PROPOSED LOCAL LAW IS AVAILABLE FOR
REVIEW IN TODAY'S AGENDA, IN THE TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE AND ON
THE TOWN'S WEBSITE.

Re: A Local Law in Relation to Amendments to Chapter 280, Zoning, in
connection with the Affordable Housing District
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the above Local Law to
amend Chapter 280, Zoning, in connection with the Affordable Housing District.
The Planning Board supports the proposed amendments.
These amendments are important to ensure that more options become available
for the creation of housing for our residents of moderate income. The
amendments accomplish this by simplifying the permitted uses, clarifying the
• potential for an all-rental model for development at the same density as an
owner-occupied model, and improving the application process through allowing
the yield to be calculated rather than mapped.
Simplifying the permitted uses and making them specific to the zoning district
provides clarity to an applicant about the options for development. In addition,
while an all-rental model technically could have been accomplished in the code
previous to these amendments, there was conflicting language that made it
unclear. Providing a calculation for the yield also provides clarity to the applicant
and is more cost-effective than having to produce a yield plan.
All of these amendments improve the overall process for creating affordable
housing and we hope will result in more housing being created under this zoning
district.
