LOCAL LAW NO. OF 2017
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows:
SECTION 1: Legislative Intent.
Generated 9/28/2017 Page 7
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of September 26, 2017
The Town Board of the Town of Southampton recognizes the importance of sound planning
to accommodate growth while protecting the wealth of natural resources that define the
Town’s special character. This objective has been evident since the adoption of the 1970
Master Plan and has been reiterated in the protective zoning codes and analyses that have
been developed through the years to date.
The 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update (“the Update”) builds upon the 1970 Master Plan,
both of which identify a number of significant land use, transportation, zoning, and capital
improvement strategies. The Update further refines strategies for the hamlet business
centers, recognizing that each Hamlet presents different challenges and opportunities, and
recommends that additional studies be conducted. In the years following the adoption of
the Comprehensive Plan, over 800 acres within the boundaries of East Quogue were
identified as areas targeted for development which prompted the Town Board to commission
an analysis via a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) of potential land uses
and impact thresholds within a 4,182 acre study area that evaluated land use alternatives in
the context of potential cumulative environmental impacts in order to support sound
planning, zoning and public investment in the East Quogue
.
In 2008, the Town Board adopted the findings statement associated with the GEIS and
adopted the Recommended Land Use Plan as a component of the Comprehensive Plan. The
principal goal of the Recommended Plan is to preserve the character of the East Quogue
hamlet and sets forth managed, low-impact growth while maintaining the scenic, natural,
community character and socioeconomic qualities of the hamlet while also allowing for a mix
of uses to meet the commercial service and recreation needs of the area. These objectives
date back many decades where the Town’s Western GEIS and the Central Pine Barrens Land
Use Plan (CLUP) identified this mix of uses for East Quogue as part of a local and regional
planning effort. This history is articulated in the East Quogue GEIS and again in the SEQRA
documents for the Hills at Southampton Mixed Use PDD proposal.
The East Quogue Land Use Plan and GEIS ultimately recommends that the subject Hills
property be developed as a mixed use PDD proposal that combines housing,
resort/recreation, and open space uses with protected areas for natural resources. As
stated in the GEIS Finding Statement: “\[t\]hese uses in a comprehensive mixed-use plan or
resort setting could also reduce the generation of number of students as compared with
traditional housing by developing resort-oriented mixed-use community. A mix of uses as
recommended in the plan would generate ratables without creating an increase demand on
the school district and would also provide a range of jobs for the community in the tourism-
related industry, which is a strong and growing job base in the local economy. With the mix
of uses and even considering standard student generation rates, the Recommended Plan is
expected to result in net fiscal benefit for the Town and local school district. A resort type
development would further increase that fiscal benefit.”
The proposed seasonal resort community is designed to implement the Town’s
Comprehensive Plan, particularly the overall vision, goals, findings, policies and
recommended actions and specific land use, design and development strategies of the East
Quogue Land Use Plan and GEIS, the Town Central Pine Barrens Overlay District, and the
Central Pine Barrens Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). The golf course is designed to
protect native species, wildlife and area waters, through the use of lined greens,
sophisticated irrigation systems and water recycling techniques, professional management
and native and protective plantings. The project will utilize rain gardens to treat stormwater
on the site and will ensure water quality protection through design elements consistent with
current and innovative technologies. As described in the FEIS, the unified master plan and
community controls associated with the seasonal resort community and golf course and the
Generated 9/28/2017 Page 8
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of September 26, 2017
corresponding mitigation measures, and community benefits and amenities incorporated
into the HSMUPDD demonstrate that the project will have less impact than a typical
subdivision under the current zoning and will have a significant public benefit.
The dwelling units in the HSMUPDD are intended to be owned and occupied by second-,
third- and fourth-homeowners, who will occupy and use their lot or unit on a seasonal basis.
Based upon the demographics of all projects developed by the applicant, it is not expected
that the owners and occupants of the lots and units in the seasonal resort community will
establish such lots or units as their actual and only residence, to wit: their primary legal or
permanent residence and/or domicile. Accordingly, it is not expected that an owner or
occupant of the lots and units in the seasonal resort community will enroll their child in the
East Quogue School District to receive a tuition-free education, let alone be able to comply
with the “residency” requirements under New York State law. To provide assurances that
the seasonal occupancy of the lots or units is realized, the HMUPDD provides for the
incorporation of a specific enforceable condition in the Zoning Law, and covenants and
restrictions that are enforceable by the HOA, which limits and restricts the occupancy of the
dwelling units to a seasonal basis. The covenants also establish a notice and registration
system for occupancy of the lots and units by the HOA, including a requirement that the
prospective purchaser or tenant of each lot or unit shall provide written acknowledgement of
and their agreement to comply with the seasonal occupancy restrictions. Moreover, the
covenants further establish a presumption of a violation or breach if a lot owner or occupant
seeks to apply for certain public benefits or enroll a child in the East Quogue School District
on the basis of their lot or unit being their primary legal or permanent residence and/or
domicile. Thus, as set forth in the FEIS, in comparison to the development of the property
under the current zoning, it is not expected that the HMUPDD will have a significant impact
upon the East Quogue School District. Moreover, the benefits and amenities offered
demonstrate a significant positive impact to the East Quogue School District.
The HSMUPDD also provides for the preservation of additional off-site properties, including a
property known as the Parlato South Property (33 ± acres) and the redemption of an
additional thirty (30) Pine Barrens Credits originating in the Core Preservation Area of the
Central Pine Barrens of Southampton. The properties to be developed and rezoned to
permit the seasonal resort community and golf course include the properties known as the
Hills South Parcel (340.91 ± acres) and the Kracke Property (61.26 ± acres), which
comprise approximately 402 ± acres (hereinafter referred to as the “Main Parcel”). The
development rights from properties consisting of the Hills North Parcel (86.92 ± acres) and
the Parlato North Property (101.91 ± acres) are being clustered or transferred to the Main
Parcel. Upon approval, these parcels will be dedicated to the Town of Southampton for
open space and conservation purposes. The developments rights on the Parlato South
Property (33 ± acres) are being retired and the property will be dedicated to the Town of
Southampton for open space and conservation purposes.
The Main Parcel is generally north and east of Lewis Road in the vicinity of Spinney Road,
and extends north to the Sunrise Highway (NYS Route 27). It is the intent of the HSMUPDD
to permit the applicant to develop the Main Parcel into seasonal resort community with 118
dwelling units, of which 10 are located within the clubhouse and 13 are referred to as “golf
cottages” clustered around the clubhouse; as set forth on the conceptual Master Plan with a
private membership 18-hole championship length golf course (hereinafter called the “golf
course” or “course”), utilizing the protocols and technology described in the FEIS prepared
for the application. The golf course and clubhouse are to be used as an on-site recreational
amenity for the residents. The combined Hills South Parcel, Hills North Parcel and the
Kracke Property yields under the current zoning 94 dwelling units and the Parlato North
Property yields 24 dwelling units. The overall development yield of 118 dwelling units is
Generated 9/28/2017 Page 9
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of September 26, 2017
integrated into the unified Master Plan where all proposed improvements are clustered
within the boundaries of the Main Parcel with additional open space areas being preserved.
It is expected that the bulk of the dwelling units will be on separate lots while some of the
units may be marketed as condominium units. The Planning Board will review the
applicable subdivision map and/or site plan for the development of the dwelling units as well
as the site plan for the golf course. The development has been located to the maximum
extent practicable on those portions of the Main Parcel that were previously cleared and/or
impacted, so as to minimize the need to clear undisturbed areas for development. The
overall amount of clearing of natural vegetation on the project complies with the clearing
standards of the Pine Barrens CLUP and the Town’s Aquifer Protection Overlay District. Of
the total 591± acres involved in the project, approximately 167± acres or 28.2±% of the
land will be developed, preserving 424± acres of undisturbed natural areas, or 71.8±% of
the land. The amount of open space preservation is actually greater when the preservation
of the Parlato South Property (33± acres) and the 30 pine barrens credits that originate
from 130± acres in the core preservation area of the central pine barrens are taken into
account.
Based upon the extensive analysis that was conducted to achieve a plan that is consistent
with the Recommended Plan, is the intent of this local law to change the zoning
classification of the properties of DLV Quogue, LLC in order to permit the construction of a
master planned and managed seasonal resort community with 118 dwelling units and a golf
course as described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (“FEIS”) and findings
statement prepared for the application. The overall project involves the assemblage of
several separate parcels of land that have been described in four separate groups: Hills
South Parcel (340.91 ± acres); Hills North Parcel (86.92 ± acres); Kracke Property (61.26
± acres); and Parlato North Property (101.91 ± acres). These four groups of properties
total approximately 591 acres.
Consistent with the goals and purposes of a planned development district, the proposed
HMUPDD provides flexible but definite standards to facilitate innovative and creative land
use planning and development techniques not all possible with the existing Residence, CR-
200 zoning district. The proposed HMUPDD will encourage comprehensive and innovative
planning and design of the highest quality, utilizing and incorporating a compatible variety
of land uses. Consistent with the FEIS and the Findings Statement adopted herewith, the
Town Board has considered the potential social, economic and environmental issues
associated with the HMUPDD and the various alternatives set forth in the FEIS, and finds
that the HMUPDD, as set forth herein will avoid and minimize significant adverse
environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable and will provide significant
community benefits and amenities in accord with the requirements of Article XXVI of the
Town Code.
SECTION 2: Section 330-248 of the Zoning Law of the Town of Southampton is amended
by adding as underlined words a new subsection W as follows:
W. The Hills at Southampton Mixed Use Planned Development District
(HSMUPDD).
(1) Purpose and Objectives. The Hills at Southampton Mixed Use Planned
Development District has been structured to accomplish the findings, purpose and long-
term goals established by the Town Board as part of Article XXVI (Planned Development
District) of the Town of Southampton Zoning Law. The HSMUPDD also supports
implementation of the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, Central Pine Barrens Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP), the Town’s East Quogue Land Use Plan (EQLUP) and Generic
Generated 9/28/2017 Page 10
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of September 26, 2017
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), and the best practices from the Town’s Water
Quality Improvement Project Plan, particularly the overall vision, goals, findings, policies,
recommended actions for natural resource protection, economic development, recreation
and open space planning, specific design and development strategies for modern golf
courses and environmentally sensitive planning and design. The HMUPDD provides
substantial community benefits and amenities. Specific Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Law objectives achieved by the Hills at Southampton Mixed Use Planned Development
District are as follows:
(a) The HSMUPDD supports the most efficient and purposeful use of vacant and
disturbed land, and provides flexible but definitive standards to facilitate innovative and
creative land use planning and development techniques recommended by the East Quogue
GEIS, which are not possible under current CR-200 zoning.
(b) The HSMUPDD provides efficient and viable land use options that complement
the surrounding pattern and types of development and improves the overall quality of the
surrounding residential neighborhoods.
(c) The HSMUPDD provides an economically viable adaptive use of the property in
such a way that is consistent with the visions, objectives and goals of the Town’s
Comprehensive Plan and East Quogue Land Use Plan and GEIS to encourage recreational
amenities that capitalize on the Town’s resort, second-home and tourist based economy
with little or no negative impact upon the East Quogue School District.
(d) The HSMUPDD provides a positive economic impact to the Town and to the
surrounding hamlets and villages and will enhance property values to the residents of the
Town and to the surrounding hamlets and villages.
(e) The HSMUPDD encourages the preservation of a quality of place in community,
which fosters the sharing of amenities and the utilization of local services
(f) The HSMUPDD provides for the redemption of thirty (30) Pine Barrens credits to
offset the development of the golf course. The underlying CR-200 zoning district permits
118 residential units but does not permit the golf course. As recommended by the Central
Pine Barrens Comprehensive Land Use Plan and §330-240C of the Town Code, the HMUPDD
is identified as a receiving site for Pine Barrens credits. The portion of the Main Parcel that
is devoted to the non-residential golf course use comprises approximately 130 acres along
its outside boundaries and the 30 pine barrens credits in this case represent the equivalent
area from which the pine barrens credits originated in the core preservation area of the
central pine barrens. The 30 Pine Barrens credits will be redeemed as a condition of
approval of the project and the potential development associated with such credits will be

Generated 9/28/2017 Page 11
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of September 26, 2017
requirements of modern golf courses and as set forth in the FEIS includes an integrated turf
health management plan limiting the amount of fertilizer and water use, and will have a
complete groundwater monitoring program equivalent to the programs at the Bridge and
Sebonack golf courses as recommended by the EQLUP. The FEIS details all of the elements
of this management plan for the seventy-eight acres of fertilized turf in the golf course and
the monitoring program.
(j) The HSMUPDD provides for the protection and improvement of the groundwater
resources of the property and the Weesuck Creek watershed. The HMUPDD provides for the
installation and use of innovated nitrogen reducing sewage treatment facilities acceptable to
the SCDHS for the seasonal resort community, where current standards for residential
development under the current CR-200 do not require same. The seasonal nature of the
resort community also mitigates the impacts on groundwater resources. Additionally, the
HMUPDD provides funding of the installation of an innovative nitrogen reducing sewage
treatment facilities acceptable to the SCDHS for the East Quogue School District, at no cost
to the taxpayers of the Town of Southampton and will be funded entirely by the applicant.
(k) The HSMUPDD further enhances the protection and improvement of the
groundwater resources of the property and the Weesuck Creek watershed by retirement of
the development rights and dedication of the Parlato South Property (33 ± acres), which is
located within 500 feet of Weesuck Creek, to the Town of Southampton for open space and
conservation purposes.
(l) The HSMUPDD further enhances the protection and improvement of the
groundwater resources of the property and the Weesuck Creek watershed by utilization of
groundwater currently laden with nitrogen from agricultural uses to the west of the Main
Parcel for fertigation on the golf course thereby reducing current nitrogen levels in the
groundwater.
(m) The HSMUPDD further enhances the protection and improvement of the
groundwater resources of the property and the Weesuck Creek watershed by funding a
program to subsidize East Quogue residents for the upgrade and replacement of existing
substandard septic systems.
(n) The HSMUPDD further enhances the protection and improvement of the water
resources of Weesuck Creek and Shinnecock Bay by funding programs for further study,
research and education on nitrogen in the waters of Shinnecock Bay and its tributaries, and
programs for eelgrass restoration, seeding of bivalve filter feeders, upwellers and clam
racks.
(o) The HSMUPDD further provides for the maintenance of a data base of the
reduction of nitrogen in the watershed as a result of the project.
(p) The HSMUPDD further enhances the protection and improvement of the water

space and the development of the seasonal resort development and golf course will come at
no cost to the taxpayers of the Town of Southampton and will be funded entirely by the
applicant.
(v) The HSMUPDD increases consideration of and coordination with the school district
and will have a net positive fiscal impact. The HSMUPDD as a seasonal resort community
with covenants limiting occupancy on a seasonal basis minimizes or negates any potential
impact on enrollment in the East Quogue School District, which has already seen its student
body grow significantly in recent years. The typical subdivision alternative under the
current zoning has the potential to increase enrollment in the district by more than 50
students. That, together with other factors that are currently increasing enrollment, might
force the district to expand its facilities or relocate elsewhere, with negative impacts on local
property taxes.
(w) The HSMUPDD provides for funding to the East Quogue School District for two
college scholarships, capital improvements, including the construction of a new playground,
and other improvements, at no cost to the taxpayers of the Town of Southampton and will

Quogue Fire District, one will be allocated to the East Quogue School District and one will be
allocated for organization benefiting the water quality improvement communal fund.
Additionally, the facility will be made available to the Westhampton Beach High School golf
team for practice or matches. Lastly, the golf course will be opened one (1) day per year
for play for up to 72 residents of the Town of Southampton at a reduced greens fee not to
exceed $100.00. All greens fees received on the public access date are to be donated to a
local charity.
(y) The HSMUPDD will provide funds for the establishment of affordable housing as
required under the Long Island Workforce Housing Act and Article, II of Chapter 216 of the
Town Code.
(2) District Boundary. The Hills Mixed Use Planned Development District shall
consist of the boundaries of the properties comprising the Main Parcel, including the
properties known as the Hills South Parcel and the Kracke Property comprising
approximately 402 acres. These properties include the following tax map parcels and are
