Agricultural -Conservation (A C) District

[Last amended 1-10-89 by L.L. No. 1-19891
§ 100-30. Purpose.
The purpose of the Agricultural -Conservation (A -C) District and the
Low -Density Residential R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts is to
reasonably control and, to the extent possible, prevent the unnecessary
loss of those currently open lands within the town containing large
and contiguous areas of prime agricultural soils which are the basis
for a significant portion of the town's economy and those areas with
sensitive environmental features, including aquifer recharge areas
and bluffs. In addition, these areas provide the open rural environ-
ment so highly"valued by year-round residents and those persons who
support the Town of Southold's recreation, resort and second -home
economy. The economic, social and aesthetic benefits which can be
obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of such areas are well
documented and have inspired a host of governmental programs
• designed, with varying degrees of success, to achieve this result. For
its part, the town is expending large sums of money to protect
existing farm acreage. At the same time, the town has an obligation
to exercise its authority to reasonably regulate the subdivision and
development of this land to further the same purposes while honoring
the legitimate interests of farmers and other farmland owners.

contamination by pollutants.
(3) The protection of air quality.
E. 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.

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, particularly in or adjacent to residential zones.
G. Public address intercom or sound systems: that any sound or
public-address system shall be located to minimize sound to
adjoining properties or on the adjacent street.

ARTICLE XXVI
Special Exception Uses
[Added 1-10-89 by L.L. No. 1-1989]
§ 100-260. Purpose.
The provisions of this Article are designed to provide for
administrative review of selected types of proposed land uses. Certain
uses which are allowable under zoning are nevertheless so likely to
significantly affect their surroundings that they require individual
review to assure compatibility with existing land use patterns,
community character and the natural environment before being
permitted to come into existence. Similarly, certain authorized uses
may take on such diverse forms in their actual implementation that it
is wise to review and pass upon the adherence of each individual
proposal to standards and guidelines previously established for the use
involved. Finally, the case-by-case review achieved by use of the •
special exception approval mechanism can increase the flexibility and
appropriateness of local development review and better enable local
officials to avoid negative consequences which sometimes arise from
the otherwise lawful development or use of a particular site.
10158 7-25-89
§ 100-261 ZONING § 100-262
§ 100-261. Special exception uses; approval required.
There is hereby created a category of land use approval to be
known as "special exception uses." Said uses may not be commenced,
created, undertaken, carried out or thereafter maintained or
substantially expanded without a special exception approval first
having been obtained therefor, which special exception approval shall
have been granted for the use either by the Planning Board, the
• Zoning Board of Appeals or the Town Board, according to the
provisions for the particular special exception use set forth in this
Article or elsewhere in this chapter. Any land use, including the
erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition, moving,
conversion or change of use of any structure, shall be a special
exception use requiring a special exception approval if the text of this
chapter or the use schedule hereof denotes the use as being either the
subject of a special exception approval or simply a special exception
use. No building permit for any such special exception use shall be
issued until the required special exception approval shall have been
granted for the same and the conditions imposed in such approval as
prerequisites to a building permit, if there be any, have been met.
§ 100-262. Application; hearing; approval; violations of condi-
tions.
A. An application for a special exception approval shall be on the
form for same provided by the Building Inspector and shall be
submitted in triplicate, together with the fee of seventy-five
dollars ($75.), to the Building Inspector, who shall review the
application for completeness and conformity with this chapter.
The Building Inspector shall reject the application if it is not
complete or not in conformance and shall notify the applicant
as to the reason for such rejection. If the application is
• satisfactory, the applicant and the Building Inspector shall
forward the application to the Board having jurisdiction
thereof.
B. Prior to taking action on any special exception use, the Board
having jurisdiction thereof shall schedule a public hearing
within forty-five (45) days after determination that the
application is complete. Within sixty (60) days following the
(Cont'd on page 10159)
10158.1 7-25-89

foot -wide easement to provide for continuation .of
pedestrian traffic and utilities to the next street. Sub=
divisions containing twenty (20) lots or more shall have at
least two (2) street connections with existing public streets
or streets shown on the Official Map, if such exists, or
streets on a recorded final plat.
G. Block size.
(1) Blocks shall not be exclusively long. Blocks, generally,
shall not be less than four hundred (400) feet in length
nor more than one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet
in length. In general, the width of a block shall not be
less than twice the normal lot depth.
(2) In blocks exceeding eight hundred (800) feet in length,
the Planning Board may require the reservation of a
ten -foot -wide easement through the block to provide
for the crossing of underground' utilities and
pedestrian traffic, where needed or desirable, and may
further specify, at its discretion, that a four -foot -wide
paved footpath be included. The Planning Board shall
require the proper maintenance of any such easement.
(3) Irregularly shaped blocks, including superblocks,
indented by culs-de-sac and containing interior spaces,
will be acceptable when properly designed and
coordinated with the overall plat and when adequate
provision for the maintenance and ownership of public
areas is provided for.
H. Intersections with major streets. Minor or secondary street
openings into a major street shall, in general, be at least
five hundred (500) feet apart.
• I. Street jogs. Street jogs with center -line offsets of less than
one hundred twenty-five (125) feet shall generally not be
permitted.
J. Angle of intersection. In general, all streets shall join each
other so that for a distance of at least one hundred (100)
feet a street is approximately at right angles to the street it
joins.
A10621 7-25-89
§ A106-32 SOUTHOLD CODE § A106-33
K. Relation to topography. The street plan of a proposed
subdivision shall bear a logical relationship to the
topography of the property, and all streets shall be
arranged so as to obtain as many of the building sites as
possible at or below the grade of the streets. Grades of
streets shall conform as closely as possible to the original
topography. [Amended 5=8-731
L. Other required streets.- Wherea subdivision borders on or
contains a railroad right-of-way or a major street right-of-
way, the Planning Board may require a street ap-
proximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-
way, at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the
intervening land (as for park purposes in residential dis-
tricts or forcommercial or industrial purposes in ap-
propriate districts). Such distances shall also be deter-
mined with due regard for the requirements of approach
grades and future grade separations.,
§ A106-33. Street design.
A. Widths. [Amended 6-6-89]
(1) Widths of rights-of-way. Streets shall have the following
widths. When not indicated on the Master Plan or Official
Map, the classification of streets shall be determined by
the Board.
Minimum
Right -of -Way
Type of Street (feet)
Major 100*
Secondary or collector 80*
Minor 50*
* NOTE: Except when the Master Plan specifies a greater or •
lesser width.
(2) Width of pavement within rights-of-way. All minor
streets in major subdivisions shall be twenty-eight (28)
A10622 7-25-89
§ A106-33 SUBDIVISION OF LAND § A106-33
feet in width. However, where it is determined that such
width is not needed, the Planning Board, in its discretion,
may designate that the width be reduced to twenty-four
(24) feet in width, provided that the subdivider agrees to
covenant that .the individual lots will be so designated as
to accommodate all off-street parking [at the rate of four
(4), spaces per lot, not including each garage space].
• (3) Subdivision roads built to either the twenty-eight- or
twenty -four -foot road width shall meet the specifications
set forth in Chapter A108, Article III, including
Standard Drawing Nos. SD -854A and SD -854M.1
B. Improvements. Streets shall be graded and improved with
pavements, curbs and gutters; sidewalks, drainage
facilities, water mains, sewers, streetlights and street
signs', street trees and fire hydrants and/or firewells.
Firewells shall have an eight -inch casing and a twenty -foot
stainless steel screen and shall have a pumping capacity of
three hundred fifty (350) gallons per minute. There shall
be a'depth of water of at least forty (40) feet. The number
and location of fire hydrants and/or firewells shall be de•
termined by the Planning Board. In making such deter-
mination, the Planning Board may seek the recom-
mendation of the Commissioners of the Fire District in
which the proposed . subdivision is located. Notwith-
standing the foregoing, upon request, the Planning Board,
upon written approval of the Superintendent ,of Highways
and the Town Board Highway Committee, may waive,
subject to appropriate conditions, such improvementsas it
considers may be omitted without jeopardy to the public
health, safety and general welfare. Pedestrian easements
shall be improved as required by the Planning Board. Such
grading and improvements shall be approved as to design
• and specifications by the Town Superintendent of High-
ways and the Town Board Highway Committee. [Amended

§ A106-33 SOUTHOLD CODE § A106-33
C. Major subdivisions. [Added 10-18-88;2 amended 6-6-89]
(1) In a major subdivision, the roads shall be built to
specifications stated in Chapter A108, Article III.
(2) In a major subdivision where the number of lots to be
serviced by a proposed street is four (4) or fewer and,
further, there is no, likelihood of the street servicing more
than four. (4) lots, the Planning Board, at its discretion, •
may waive the major road specifications as they are set
forth in Chapter A108, Article III, and, in their place,
may substitute alternate road specifications as set forth in
§ A108 -42B.
D. Utilities in streets. The Planning Board may require that
underground utilities. be placed in the street right-of-way
between the paved roadway and the street line to simplify
location and repair of lines when they require attention.
The subdivider shall install underground service con-
nections to the property line of each lot within the sub-
division for such required utilities before the street is
paved. Such underground utilities shall be located within
the sidewalk area. [Amended 5-8-731
E. Utility easements. Where topography is such as to make
impractical the inclusion of utilities within the street
rights-of-way, perpetual unobstructed easements at least
twenty (20) feet in width shall be otherwise provided with
satisfactory access to the street. Wherever possible
easements shall be continuous from block to block and
shall present as few irregularities as possible. Such
easements shall be cleared, graded and seeded where
required. [Amended 5-8-73]
F. Steep curves; visibility at intersections. Sharp curves shall be
avoided. In order to provide visibility for traffic safety, that
portion of any corner lot, whether at an intersection entirely
within the subdivision or of a new street with an existing
street, which is shown shaded on Sketch A, shall be cleared of
