ROBERT DUNN: Regarding the affordable housing, 1014, in the original findings, item C, you
go down to the end, in addition the fund will compensate (inaudible) capital improvements that

MR. DUNN: No, 1014. Oh, I am sorry, I'm sorry. You are,right, 1015.

WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County,New York, on the 25th day of September, 2018, a Local Law entitled "A Local Law in
relation to Rental Permits" and
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid
Local Law at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now
therefor be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby ENACTS the proposed Local
Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Rental Permits"reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2018
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. A new Chapter 207 of the Code of the Town of Southold,A Local Law entitled, "A
Local Law in relation to Rental Permits"
207-1 Legislative intent.
A. The Town Board of the Town of Southold has determined that there exists in the
Town of Southold serious conditions arising from non-owner occupied rental of
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
services. The Board finds that current Code provisions are inadequate to halt the
proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety,welfare and good
order and governance of the Town will be enhanced by enactment of the regulations
set forth in this chapter.

Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
November 20, 2018 page 27
relation to an Amendment to Chapter 34, Housing Fund" and
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid
Local Law at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now
therefor be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby ENACTS the proposed Local
Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 34, Housing Fund"
reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 13 of 2018
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 34, Housinji
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 whe are
residents of the Town of Southold and/of employed in+1, T, f c t 'a 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 lead to the creation of affordable housing that reinvest it the fives of
reg de axholive d,ter-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 individuals and families residents who lack the financial means to rent
and/or purchase housing within the Town.

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 approved in advance by the Housing Advisory
Commission. Depreciation may be applied to capital improvements.
§ 34-3 Definitions.

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

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

FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned
parcel of land is on file in Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375
Route 25, Southold,New York, and may be examined by any interested person during business
hours.
I have a notarized affidavit that this was noticed and advertised on the Town Clerk's bulletin
board. I also have a copy of a legal notice from the Suffolk Times and a memorandum from the
Local Waterfront Revitalization coordinator, that this action has been reviewed and is consistent
with the policy standards and therefore consistent with the LWRP. That's it.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Is there someone in the audience that would like to address this?
MELISSA SPIRO: Hi, Melissa Spiro, Land Preservation Coordinator. There is also a letter that
came in today from the Peconic Estuary Program, supporting and encouraging the town to
proceed as it meets the goals outlined in the Peconic Estuary Program comprehensive
conservation and management plan and some other goals they outline in a letter.
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Do you have a copy of that letter, Melissa?
MS. SPIRO: I do. Shall I give it to you?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Yes, please.
MS. SPIRO: So the Fuchs property is really an important property for the town and the county
to preserve. The property itself is undeveloped and includes wetlands and frontage on Corey
Creek. One of the things that makes it a high priority for the town for preservation is the fact
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
November 20, 2018 page 35
that it's adjacent to 45 acres that the town and county have already preserved and it expands that
existing preserve and improves access to it. The adjacent preserved property also includes
significant amount of bay front and frontage on Corey Creek. So it's a great expansion for that
preserve. As noted, this acquisition is a partnership with the county and all the costs will be
shared equally. In addition, the Nature Conservancy has been helping to facilitate this project as
the Nature Conservancy did for the project that I spoke about that is adjacent to it. Potential
preservation of this property goes back many years. I remember discussing preservation in 2004
with Mr. Fuchs on behalf of the prior owner Mr. Hammel. After Mr. Hammel's passing, I again
discussed preservation several times with Mr. Fuchs once he became the owner of the property,
he inherited it from Mr. Hammel. Mr. Fuchs passed away several years ago and I would like to
thank Mrs. Fuchs and the family for allowing the town and the county the current opportunity to
proceed with preservation of the property. The town is using Community Preservation Funds for
the open space purchase, the Land Preservation Committee has reviewed this and both the
committee and I support the town proceeding with this very important open space purchase.
Thank you.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Is there someone else that would like to speak to this? I would
note that even though it is very difficult to see the map from far away, the parcel is in fact a key
parcel in the Bayview area. It is very much a connecting link to there and fits well. Anyone
else? (No response) Motion to close the hearing.

COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, WHEREAS there has been
presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County,New York, on the 23rd
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
aforesaid Local Law at Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold,New York, on the 20c"
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".
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
November 20, 2018 page 36
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
rents of the T....,,, of Southold and/oremployedintheTown 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 lead to the creation of affordable housing that,-eifkvest i the lives a f
rodents who live and/or- voFk in the Toym. 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 individuals and families residents who lack the financial means to rent
and/or purchase housing within the Town.
G. The prie"'�Fopulation for-Eemmunity b,..,,sing will be as 'vllows-

(4) ineemP eligible individuals/families who work i !he-Town of Sou
(5) ineome eligible individuals/families w-ho previously lived in the Tow-n and wish to r-etum.
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.

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

III. SEVERABILITY

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.
I do have a signed and notarized affidavit that this has been published and advertised on the
Town Clerk's bulletin board and again, I have a copy of the public notice and a notarized
affidavit that this was published in the Suffolk Times. That's it.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Is there someone in the audience that would wish to speak at this
public hearing? Mr. Dunn?
ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. Item C, at the end of the paragraph, in addition, the
Fund will compensate the seller for major capital improvements that are improved in advance by
the Housing Advisory Commission. That second improved maybe should be approved?
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
November 20, 2018 page 39
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I would think that that might be correct. Okay. Thank you.
MR. DUNN: And if you could just backup a bit on that, in that same line, in addition the Fund
will compensate the seller for major capital improvements that are approved, if you make that
change. The idea of compensate, this would happen in front of it, I am 100 percent behind the
concept here so I am not being critical, just to get (inaudible). This would happen when the
person was selling, they would be looking to get their money out and we are using the term, in
addition the fund will compensate, when you use the term compensate people right away, that's
money and there may be a better word that you can put there with the same meaning that
wouldn't give anybody the idea that that's the jackpot. These are people that are going to be
leaving a home that they may have lived in for a while that they are now selling with restrictions
in place and they are going into a new home that is perhaps free marketed and they are paying a
much higher value and they are looking to get as much out as they can. So when you use the
term compensate, it might give a grand allusion to people who didn't fully understand what they
got into. You see where I am going with that.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Yes.
MR. DUNN: I just think that may be better thought so as not to mislead anybody especially
somebody who may have decided, oh, we'll add a bathroom and it was approved and now they
want to be compensated, yeah, but you didn't have to put $4,000 Moen faucets in the bathroom.
That was your choice so we can't compensate you for that because that's going to come out of
the pocket of the next buyer down the road, so I just think that word compensate may be re-
thought and...
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Your point is well taken.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: And can we go back to your first comment? I don't know if
that were to be approved or improved. The way that I am reading it is `the fund will compensate
the seller for major capital improvements that are-that should probably say were improved- in
advance by the housing commission.
MR. DUNN: The housing commission isn't making any approvals.
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Right.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Oh, alright, I am thinking if the improvements were done
through the housing commission.
MR. DUNN: In other words, what I thought this was saying is we'll even consider improvements
that you make to the property in the base price but you have to give us a heads up on that and we
have to approve it. If you decide to add you know, a third kitchen, we are not going to
compensate you for that because your family decided to have a third kitchen but if you decide to
add a third bedroom we'll okay it and that will be included in the base price. I fully understand
that.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
November 20, 2018 page 40
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: And I was reading it that it might be you would be
compensated for improvements you have made prior...
MR. DUNN: To selling.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: To sell it. Through the housing advisory.
MR. DUNN: Okay.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: But you are probably right on that.
MR. DUNN: Okay, it's probably approved and it's just another word that I would...
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: That was already in there.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: What we see is one person who read and understands it one way
and another person who read and understands it a different way. So the word we are looking for
is clarity, so it may be that different words need to be...
MR. DUNN: Yes.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: This is also why we have a public hearing.
MR. DUNN: Absolutely.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Actually, this particular paragraph is not the subject of the public
hearing, it's the changes to the law.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Right. This is already part of....
MR. DUNN: Okay but if we change it,then let's change it and make it right. Thank you.
