Southold Town Meeting Agenda - October 23, 2018
Page 39
WHEREAS there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
rd
County, New York, on the 23 day of October, 2018, a Local Law entitled “A Local Law in
relation to an Amendment to Chapter 34, Housing Fund” so now therefor be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public hearing on the
th
aforesaid Local Law at Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, on the 20
day of November, 2018 at 4:31 p.m. at which time all interested persons will be given an
opportunity to be heard.
The proposed Local Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 34,
Housing Fund” reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2018
A Local Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 34, Housing
Fund”.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
§ 34-1 Purpose.
The Town of Southold Housing Fund will provide the Town with a mechanism to obtain funding
and create programs that will increase housing opportunities for families and individuals who are
residents of the Town of Southold and/or employed in the Town of Southold who cannot procure
affordable housing within the Town.
§ 34-2 Findings.
A. The lack of affordable housing creates many adverse effects for the Town. Regional
employers grapple with the task of hiring and retaining employees due to the limited
availability of affordable housing. Recruiting and retaining essential personnel (police
officers, fire fighters, teachers, nurses, etc.) has become increasingly a challenge due to the
lack of affordable housing. Volunteer emergency services are also impacted by the lack of
affordable housing, prompting the possible necessity of replacing volunteer services with
paid employees. While the Town has benefited from increased tourism and second
homeownership, it must also sustain a population who can afford to live and work in Town.
B. To address this housing shortage, the Town of Southold must create a myriad of housing
initiatives that reinvest in the lives of residents who live and/or work in the Town. The
talented and vibrant energy that was and is invested in community land preservation must
be replicated to create affordable housing for a sizable number of residents who lack the
financial means to rent and/or purchase housing within the Town.
C. The priority population for community housing will be as follows:
(1) Income eligible individuals/families who live and work in the Town of Southold who
provide volunteer emergency/life saving services for residents of the Town.
(2) Income eligible individuals/families who live and work in the Town of Southold.
(3) Income eligible individuals/families who live in the Town of Southold.
(4) Income eligible individuals/families who work in the Town of Southold.
(5) Income eligible individuals/families who previously lived in the Town and wish to return.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - October 23, 2018
Page 40
C. D. Efforts in the past to create affordable housing have failed in their ability to keep the
housing stock affordable upon resale. Therefore, to promote perpetual affordability
within the Town, all recipients of said housing will be legally bound to sell their
properties to the Town's Housing Fund. Resale price formulas for homes purchased from
the Fund will be as follows: Homes sold after purchase will realize profits that are the
equivalent percentage of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as compiled by the United
States Department of Labor. The percentage will be calculated from the date of sale from
the Fund to the date of resale to the Fund. In addition, the Fund will compensate the seller
for major capital improvements that are improved in advance by the Housing Advisory
Commission. Depreciation may be applied to capital improvements.
§ 34-3 Definitions.
As used in this chapter, the following words and terms shall have the following meanings:
FUND
The Town of Southold Housing Fund authorized pursuant to this chapter.
HOUSING
Housing for households whose incomes are not sufficient, pursuant to banking industry
standards, to induce private lenders to finance the costs of acquisition of a home with a
value at or less than median value as determined by the Town's assessment rolls, without
benefit of subsidies or special financing programs from the Town in the case of owner-
occupied housing, or in the case of rental housing, as housing for households whose income
is insufficient to pay the monthly costs for such housing and maintain such costs within the
required percentages of the household's income based upon banking industry standards.
INCOME ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS/FAMILIES
Those individuals/families whose incomes are below the designated percentage of the HUD
median income for the County of Suffolk, as determined by the Southold Town Board. In
addition, individuals/families seeking grant assistance and loans from other public funding
sources may be limited to household incomes less than the HUB median income for the
County of Suffolk.
TOWN
The Town of Southold.
§ 34-5 Purposes of Fund.
A. The proceeds of the Fund established pursuant to § 34-4 shall be utilized in accordance with
law for the following purposes:
(1) The provision of no-interest or low-interest loans to income eligible individuals or families
residents who work and/or live in the Town for the purchase of a first home;
(2) The actual production of community housing for sale and resale to income-eligible
individuals or families residents who work and/or live in the Town;
(3) The actual production of community housing for sale to income-eligible individuals or
families residents who work and/or live in the Town in conjunction with other
public/private partnerships such as the North Fork Housing Alliance and the Community
Land Trust of Southold who agree with the stated priority population and income eligibility
guidelines;
(4) The actual production and maintenance of rental housing for rent to income-eligible
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - October 23, 2018
Page 41
individuals or families residents who work and/or live in the Town or in conjunction with
public/private partnerships who agree with the stated profit guidelines;
(5) The provision of no-interest or low-interest loans to developers for the production of
community housing for sale to income eligible residents for the purchase of a first home or
for rent to income eligible residents.
(65) The rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures in the Town for the purpose of
conversion to community housing for sale or rental to income-eligible residents who work
and/or live in the Town;
(76) The provision of housing counseling services by not-for-profit corporations that are
authorized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide said
services;
(87) The Fund will ensure the perpetual affordability of housing through determining resale
prices of any home purchased through the Fund. This will be accomplished through the
following: The Town of Southold reserves the right to require that all housing units
purchased through the Fund remain affordable in perpetuity. All properties purchased
through the Fund must be sold back to the Fund for resale to income-eligible
individuals/families who meet the qualifications of defined priority populations. After
purchase, homes may be resold to the Fund to potentially realize a profit. Sale prices will be
calculated at the original purchase price (base price) and shall be adjusted by a percentage
which is the same as the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased
between the date that the buyer took title to the property and the date that a letter of intent is
submitted to the Fund to resell the property. Costs for capital improvements approved by
the Fund's regulations may also be compensated. Capital improvements are additions that
provide value to the property above and beyond repairs to maintain the property in good
condition. The Housing Advisory Commission must approve in advance all capital
improvements. The Commission must be given information regarding the scope of work
and estimate of capital costs. If capital improvements are approved, the Commission will
determine if the capital improvement may be recouped in the event of resale.
(98) The Housing Fund will strive to build housing and sell housing that reflects the diverse
needs of those seeking affordable housing that includes household income, bedroom size,
etc.
B. For the purposes of this chapter, eligible expenses relating to the production of community
housing and the rehabilitation of existing housing stock and structures under the Fund shall
include, but not be limited to, land acquisition, planning, engineering, construction costs
and other hard and soft costs associated with construction, rehabilitation, purchase or rental
of housing pursuant to this section, provided that these costs do not exceed 15% of the
projected project costs. Litigation expenses may not be covered by this Fund. All revenues
received by the Town from the sale or rental of community homes or the repayment of loans
shall be deposited in this Fund.
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.

WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk

relation to Rental Permits” and
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid

LOCAL LAW NO. 2018

dwelling units in one, two and three family and multiple dwellings that are
substandard or in violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and
Building Code, Building Rehabilitation Code, Electrical Code, Fire Prevention Code,
Plumbing Code, and other codes and ordinances of the Town. Many of these dwellings
are inadequate in size, overcrowded and dangerous, and such dwelling units pose
hazards to life, limb and property of residents of the Town and others, tend to
promote and encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Town, create blight
and excessive vehicle traffic and parking problems and to overburden municipal
