TABLE OF CONTENTS
Tools for Finding Information — In addition to the municipality's legislation, this publication
contains tools to help locate information: table of contents, index, chapter outlines (schemes), and
a disposition list.
Chapters — Chapters are generally discrete pieces of legislation, but can also be made up of sev-
eral individual pieces on a related topic. In that case, the individual pieces are arranged into arti-
cles or parts within the chapter. The article or part titles can be found in the chapter scheme or by
subject in the index. If you are familiar with a former number or title, look for it chronologically
in the disposition list.
Reserved Chapters — In the numbering of chapters, space has been provided for the convenient
insertion, alphabetically, of later enactments. Help in selecting an appropriate number for a new
chapter is available from the editor. See also the "Instructions for Amending the Code" in the
Preface.
Section Numbering — A chapter -related section -numbering system is employed. Each section of
every item of legislation is assigned a number, which indicates both the number of the chapter in
which the item of legislation is located and the location of the section within that chapter. Thus,
the fourth section of Chapter 6 is § 6-4.
Scheme — The scheme is the list of section titles that precedes the text of each chapter. These ti-
tles are carefully written so that, taken together, they may be considered as a summary of the con-
tent of the chapter. Taken separately, each describes the content of a particular section. For ease
and precision of reference, the scheme titles are repeated as section headings in the text.
Page Numbers — A unique page -numbering system has been used in which each chapter forms
an autonomous unit. The first page of each chapter is the number of that chapter followed by a
colon and the numeral "1." Thus, Chapter 6 begins on page 6:1. By the use of this system, it is
possible to add- or to change pages in any chapter, or add new chapters, without affecting the se-
quence of subsequent pages.

B. Upon receipt by the Building Inspector of any application for a drainage control permit
to conduct any activity regulated by this chapter, the Building Inspector may refer the
proposed erosion, sedimentation, and stormwater runoff control plan to the Town
Engineering Department for comment and recommendation. No municipal permit that
shall be issued for activities requiring a drainage control permit, nor shall any application
therefor be deemed complete, until the Building Inspector has first issued his or her
approval of the erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff control plan.
C. Such plan may contain the following elements, which may be integrated into a site plan
or subdivision plat submitted for approval pursuant to applicable Town law:
(1) A vicinity map drawn to a scale of not less than 2,000 feet to one inch showing the
relationship of the site to its general surroundings.
(2) A plan of the site drawn to a scale of not less than 100 feet to the inch showing the
location and description of property boundaries, site acreage, existing natural and
man-made features on and within 500 feet of the site boundary, including roads,

(3) Location and description of proposed changes to the site and existing development
on the site, which includes:
(a) All excavation, filling, stripping and grading proposed to be undertaken,
identified as to the depth, volume, and nature of the materials involved;
(b) , All areas requiring clearing, identified as to the nature of vegetation affected;
(c) All areas where topsoil is to be removed and stockpiled and where topsoil is
to be ultimately placed;
(d) All temporary and permanent vegetation to be placed on the site, identified as
to planting type, size, and extent;
236:7 04-15-2007
§ 236-12 SOUTHOLD CODE § 236-13
(e) All temporary and permanent stormwater runoff control measures, including
soil stabilization techniques and stormwater drainage and storage systems,
including ponds, recharge and sediment basins (identified. as to the type of
facility, the materials from which it is constructed, its dimensions, and its
capacity in cubic feet);
(f) The anticipated pattern of surface drainage during periods of peak runoff,
upon completion of site preparation and construction activities, identified as
to rate and direction of flow at all major points within the drainage system;

§ 236-13. Performance standards for approval of erosion, sedimentation and stormwater
runoff control plans.
A. The site erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff control measures shall be
appropriate for existing topography, vegetation and other salient natural features of the
site. The plan shall indicate that the development will preserve natural features, minimize
grading and cut and fill operations, ensure conformity with natural topography, and retain
natural vegetation and trees to the maximum extent practicable in order to create the least
erosion potential and handle adequately the volume and. rate or velocity, of surface water
runoff.
B. Site grading, excavation and filling shall minimize destruction of natural vegetation, the
potential for erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff and the threat to the health,
safety and welfare of neighboring property owners and the general public.
C. Erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff shall be controlled prior to, during, and
after site preparation and construction. During grading operations, appropriate measures
for dust control shall be undertaken.
D. Areas exposed by site preparation shall be protected during site construction with hay
bales, temporary vegetation and/or mulching to meet the requirements of the NYSDEC
SPDES program in effect.
E. Natural drainage patterns shall be protected and incorporated into site design. Where
natural drainage patterns are demonstrated to be adversely affecting a beach or wetland,
drainage patterns. may be altered in a manner which reduces the threat to such beach or
wetland and does not create other flooding or erosion problems.
F. Site preparation, including stripping of vegetative cover and grading, shall be undertaken
so that no individual building site is stripped of its vegetation cover more than 30 days
prior to commencement of construction. Soils exposed or disturbed by site preparation
236:8 04-15-2007
§ 236-13 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT § 236-13
shall remain so for the shortest practical period of time during site clearing, construction
and restoration.
G. Disturbed soils shall be stabilized and revegetated or seeded as soon as practicable.
During the interim, erosion protection measures such as temporary vegetation, retention
ponds, recharge basins, berming, silt traps and mulching shall be used to ensure that
sedimentation is minimized and mitigated.
H. In no case shall stormwater be diverted to another property either during site preparation
or .after development. In appropriate cases, with the approval of the Superintendent of
Highways, drainage control measures may be implemented in the right-of-way attendant
to an adjacent Town highway, at the applicant's expense.
I. During the construction period, disposal of stormwater runoff generated by development
activity shall be handled on site. Baling, mulching, debris basins, silt traps, use of fibrous
cover materials or similar measures shall be used to contain soil erosion on the site.
J. All projects, regardless of the area of groundwater removal and/or grading, shall retain a
natural vegetative buffer zone along water bodies, including wetlands and marshes, if one
is imposed by the Board of Trustees. If necessary, other forms of erosion control
measures will also be included.
K. Natural land features such as shallow depressions shall be used, wherever possible, to
collect stormwater on-site for recharge.
L. Site designs shall minimize impermeable paving.
M. Stormwater runoff shall not be directly discharged to surface waters, marshes and
wetlands. Stormwater pollutants shall not be discharged directly into a wetland, but shall
be attenuated by using holding ponds, sedimentation basins, perimeter berming, vegetated
buffer areas and other measures that reduce flow velocity and increase storage time.
Pollutants shall not be discharged into wetlands. In addition, any filtering devices
constructed as part of the drainage system must be adequately maintained in order to
function properly.
N. All wetland vegetation shall be maintained. Dredging and site construction should not
disturb wetlands either by direct removal of vegetation or substrate, or by the alteration
of adjacent slopes that would undermine the stability of the substrate unless permission is
obtained from the Board of Trustees. Grading equipment shall not be allowed to enter
into or cross any watercourse or wetland.
O. Subsurface sediments shall be maintained to provide structural support for the soils of the
wetlands.
P. The elevation of a wetland shall not be altered.
Q. No vegetation required by any agency as a buffer to a natural protective feature shall be
disturbed by grading, erosion, sedimentation, or direct removal of vegetation.
236:9 04-15-2007
§ 236-13 SOUTHOLD CODE § 236-15
R. Fill shall not encroach on natural watercourses, constructed channels, wetlands, or
floodway areas. All fill shall be compacted at a final angle of repose which provides
stability for the material, minimizes erosion and prevents settlement.
S. Trails and walking paths along water bodies shall be sited and constructed so they are
not a source of sediment, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.
T. The amount and velocity of runoff from a site after development shall approximate its
predevelopment characteristics. However, if the site is adjacent to coastal waters,
stormwater shall be contained on-site, to the maximum extent practicable, to prevent
direct discharge of runoff to coastal waters.
U. Natural floodplains and major drainage swales shall not be altered, or disturbed in a
manner which decreases their ability to accommodate and channel stormwater runoff and
floodwaters. If no practicable 'alternative to the location of development, roadway,
driveways, and similar surfaces within these areas exists, such facilities shall be sited and
constructed to minimize and mitigate the amount and velocity of stormwater entering the
channel, floodplain or swale and to approximate the original functions of the undisturbed
condition.
V. No land having a slope equal to or greater than 20% shall be developed or disturbed
except for conservation measures or measures intended to remove debris which inhibits
the functioning of the Swale, except accessways to shorelines approved by the Board of
Trustees shall be permitted. Natural vegetation and topography shall be retained to
stabilize soils and reduce the volume of stormwater overflow.
W. On lands having slopes of less than 20%, but composed of highly erodible soils,
development proposals shall include consideration of the load-bearing capacity of the
soils. Unless it can be demonstrated that ,the soils can be stabilized with a minimum of
on-site disturbance and no adverse impacts to the stability of neighboring properties, the
development proposal shall not be approved as submitted.
X. All -permanent (final) vegetation and mechanical erosion control measures called for in
approved plans shall be installed within the time limits specified by the Building
Inspector, and no later than the expiration of the municipal permit issued therewith.
§ 236-14. Approved plans.
Plans approved by the Building Inspector in conjunction with the issuance of a drainage
control permit shall also be filed with the County Clerk indicating that such plans are binding
as against future purchasers, granting the Town permission to enter the property for .
compliance enforcement purposes, and containing a summary of the plan's requirements.
§ 236-15. Variances.
A variance may be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Southold upon
receipt of an application from a property owner which meets the criteria for an area variance
set forth in § 267-a of the Town Law.
236:10 04-15-2007
§ 236-16 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
§ 236-16. Inspection; restoration; certificate of occupancy; fines.
§ 236-16
A. Inspection. Inspection for soil erosion, sedimentation, and runoff control plan compliance
shall be conducted by the Building Inspector to determine that the work has been
completed in accordance with such plan. The plan may be modified by mutual agreement
if, during or after installation, the Building Inspector deems that the installed measures
are not adequate to meet the performance standards or if alternatives would better meet
the Code requirements. If no agreement is reached, the Building Inspector may require
the submission of a modified plan in order to maintain compliance with this chapter.
B. Restoration. Any clearing, excavation or development of land in violation of this chapter
shall be corrected forthwith after written notice by the Building Inspector. In the event
that corrective action is not taken as directed within a reasonable time, the Town may, at
its own expense, take corrective action to restore the property or initiate legal action to
prevent unlawful or unauthorized activity. The cost of restoration shall become a lien
upon the property upon which such unlawful activity occurred.
C. Certificate of occupancy. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the ,Building
Inspector until all work required to be completed pursuant to the plan has been
satisfactorily done.
D. Fines. Any responsible party undertaking clearing, excavation or development of land in
violation of this chapter, or falsifying information in connection with the requirements of
this chapter, upon conviction, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of
not less than $500 and not more than $2,000. Such person shall be deemed guilty of a
separate offense for each day during which a violation of this chapter is committed or
continues.
E. Enforcement. The Director of Code Enforcement and/or the Building Inspector are
responsible for enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and have the authority to
issue violations of this chapter. The Town Attorney shall be responsible for prosecution
of any such violations. In addition to the above -provided fines, the Town Board may
authorize an action or proceeding in the name of the Town in a court of competent
jurisdiction to compel compliance with or to restrain by injunction the violation of this
chapter.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town. Board of the Town of Southold 9-12-2000 by L.L. No.
18-2000. Amendments noted where applicable.]
§ 249-1. Legislative intent and findings.
A. The Town Board and the staff of the Town of Southold reviewed land use studies of the
location of tobacco advertising in proximity to schools, parks and child day-care centers.
In addition, the Town has examined the actions and codes of other municipalities,
including the City of New York and the City of Long Beach.
B. The Town Board of the Town of Southold finds that restricting the exposure of minors to
advertising regarding tobacco and tobacco products is constitutional when achieved
through reasonable, targeted limitations on such advertising in the vicinity of schools and
other locations where it is well-established that children tend to congregate. It is the
intention of the Town Board to enhance and ' augment compliance with and enforcement
of federal, state and local laws prohibiting the sale or distribution of tobacco products to
minors, and to protect such minors against such illegal sales.
C. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that, while the rate of adult
smoking of tobacco products has decreased nationwide by 50% between 1971 and 1993,
the rate of smoking among all high school students has increased by 26% during the
years 1991 and 1996 and now stands at the highest rate since 1981. It is further noted
that this dramatic increase has occurred contrary fo and at variance with the laws of all
50 states prohibiting sale and distribution of tobacco products to minors, and the pledge
of all tobacco product manufacturers to adhere to a voluntary industry _code prohibiting
advertising of such products in a manner appealing to minors.
D. In 1991, a study of the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that
"...cigarette advertising encourages youth to smoke and should be banned." In 1994, a
report of the National Institute of Medicine stated that "...the substantial convergent
evidence that advertising and promotion, increase tobacco use by youth is impressive and
... provided a strong basis for legal regulation." In 1995, a report of the federal Center for
Disease Control and Prevention found that "...cigarette marketing practices appeared to
be the most likely account for [the] increase in teen smoking initiation rates."
E. In 1997, Liggett & Myers, Inc., a cigarette manufacturer, made the following
acknowledgement in executing a settlement agreement with the Attorney Generals of 17
249:1 04-15-2007
§ 249-1 SOUTHOLD CODE § 249-2
states, including the State of New York, "...Liggett acknowledges that the tobacco
industry markets to 'youth,' which means those under 18 years of age...".
F. Based upon the preponderance of the evidence that tobacco products are advertised and
promoted to minors, and that the rate of use of tobacco products by minors has
drastically increased contrary to legislation prohibiting the sale or distribution of such
products to minors, the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby finds and declares
it to be in the best interests of minors residing and/or otherwise present within the Town
to enact affirmative, reasonable and constitutionally permissible restrictions on the
advertising of tobacco products.
G. By enacting this legislation, it is the intent of the Town Board to promote compliance
with and enforcement of federal, state and local laws prohibiting sale or distribution of
tobacco products to minors, and therefore, in deference to the protections afforded by the
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, this legislation has been
narrowly drafted to place reasonable time, place and manner restrictions on such
advertising in those locations where it is well-established that minors tend to congregate,
while not imposing restrictions on such advertising clearly directed to adults.
