Procedure
for evaluating permit applications for public hearings:
(1)
The Board of Trustees may, in its discretion, require that a public
hearing be held on applications where the proposed project raises
a significant degree of public interest or where public input can
aid in the decision-making process.
(2)
The Board of Trustees shall give notice of a public hearing as follows:
(a)
By requiring the applicant to erect a white sign or signs with black
lettering, measuring not less than two feet long and one-foot wide,
which shall be prominently displayed on the premises facing each public
street on which the property abuts, giving notice of the date, time
and place where the public hearing will be held. The sign shall not
be set back more than 10 feet from the street line and shall not be
less than two or more than six feet above the grade at the street
line. The sign shall be made of durable material and shall be furnished
by the Board of Trustees. It shall be displayed for a period of not
less than 10 days immediately preceding the public hearing date. No
additional posting shall be required for any adjournment date. The
applicant shall file an affidavit that he or she has complied with
the provisions of this section.
(b)
By requiring the applicant to mail written notice of the date, time
and place of the hearing, together with a copy of the application
and survey submitted to the Board of Trustees, by certified mail,
return receipt requested, to every property owner, as shown on the
current Town of Southampton assessment rolls, of parcels abutting
the property which is the subject of the application, proof of which
shall be submitted to the Board of Trustees on or before the commencement
of the public hearing in the form of an affidavit with postal receipts
annexed thereto confirming mailing of said notices at least 10 days
prior to the hearing date.
(c)
Failure of the applicant to provide the Board of Trustees with the
required proofs of notice shall require that the matter be adjourned
and renoticed. After the second occurrence in which an applicant fails
to provide the Board of Trustees with the required proofs of notice,
an applicant shall bear all further costs of publishing associated
with matters that must be renoticed.
[Amended 6-7-2021 by Res. No. 2021-140]

for good cause.
(5)
In evaluating applications for permits under this section, the Board
of Trustees shall consider the potential impact upon the rights and
resources of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of Southampton,
including whether the activity applied for will unreasonably interfere
with the rights of the Freeholders and Commonalty to use their lands
or to pass and repass along their rights-of-way. To the maximum extent
practical, the protection of the environment and conservation of natural
resources shall be given appropriate weight with social and economic
considerations. The Board may consider the objections, or lack thereof,
of abutting landowners.
A.
Any
person, firm, or corporation making application for a permit to dredge
a channel or basin, or to afford boat access to upland, shall agree
to place and at all times maintain a legible sign, not less than 18
inches square, on the upland and within 10 feet of the shore, opposite
said channel or boat way, warning of the depth of water therein and
the extent thereof along shore, and shall cause a white stake or stone
to be placed and maintained on the upland marking the lines of such
channel or boat way. The applicant further agrees to promptly place
and maintain such signs and, upon failure to do so, authorizes the

all cases that a direct public benefit does not result by reason of
such dredging. Any dispute over yardage shall be determined by a Board-appointed
engineer, at the expense of the applicant.
A.
An
applicant shall be allowed to reconstruct a structure, within 18 inches,
if proof is provided that only one bulkhead or retaining wall has
previously been constructed. In addition, one refacing of a second
structure will be permitted. In all other cases, bulkheads and retaining
walls shall be reconstructed in place, utilizing construction methods
deemed appropriate by the Trustees.
B.
A
permit will be required to undertake any repairs or modifications

it be deemed necessary to add backfill after grading has begun, only
clean sand or gravel will be permitted. No organic topsoils are to
be placed along the inside of the new bulkhead.
I.
The
homeowner must agree to give and maintain a public passing way, on
the upland, not less than five feet in width to enable persons to
pass and repass around said bulkhead.
J.
No
chemically treated lumber may be used on any construction performed
with a permit issued by the Board of Trustees. Absolutely no CCA is
allowed.
K.
It
must be clearly stated/shown on the application/drawings exactly what
is being placed within the ten-foot buffer zone, whether it is beach
grass (type), gravel/sand, or walkway, etc.
L.
Bulkhead
caps are limited to a width of 24 inches.
M.
Full
compliance. Any and all permits by the Board for any property are
issued contingent upon full compliance with any and all rules and
regulations of the Board of Trustees.
N.
Steel
bulkhead: Specific to properties between West Landing Road and Gathering
Rocks Road situate Red Creek, Hampton Bays, the following resolution
was passed on December 3, 2012:
Whereas, due to site specific conditions that exist along this
stretch of waterfront such as extreme slope angles, height of bluffs,
lack of vegetation and tendency of severe wave and tidal action, a
management plan is necessary to insure a consistent erosion control
plan.
Now, therefore, bulkheads will be allowed to be reconstructed
following a plan to achieve a general straight line connecting with
adjoining properties in a manner approved by the Trustees. The use
of steel sheathing may be utilized in this special management zone
upon submission of an application and upon approval of the Town Trustees.
O.
Shinnecock
Beach Road stipulation: If any part of the bulkhead should exist on
a Trustees' right-of-way known as Shinnecock Beach Road and, in the
future, the public demands restoration of this road, the bulkhead
will have to be removed.

A photograph of the specific location of the proposed docks structure
must be presented to the Trustees before and after completion of the
project. This will insure that no damage has occurred to the marsh
grasses. If, in fact, it is deemed that marsh grasses have been damaged,
the property owner will be responsible for replanting the vegetation.
(5)
No part of any dock structure shall be stored on the intertidal marsh.
During the winter months, it has become common practice to store floats
on the intertidal marsh. The floats must be either in the water or
on the property owner's upland.

affect the decision as to whether a dock is approved. If placement
of the dock is destructive to eelgrass beds, the project may be denied
in favor of a mooring.
(22)
Special exceptions will be made for a handicap facility; however,
the facility must be removed upon sale of the subject premises to
a third party. A covenant to that effect must be filed with the Suffolk
County Clerk's office, and a copy of the covenant and the recording
page must be sent to the Trustee's office within 60 days of the date
of the permit.
(23)
The Trustees always consider site-specific conditions; for example,
if the minimum amount of length increase will give the homeowner appreciable
water depth.
(24)
No person shall cause any sandblast debris, sanding dust or power-washing
effluent to enter any water body.
(25)
The Trustee's office shall be notified within 24 hours prior to the

Deep-water areas: Dock and float shall not exceed 25 feet in length
measured from the mean high-water mark or bulkhead or past a depth
of 30 inches average low water, whichever comes first.
B.
If
a depth measurement shows that no appreciable change of depth is gained
from 25 feet to 100 feet, then the minimum length dock or a mooring
shall be deemed adequate. If appreciable change of depth from 25 feet
off shore to 100 feet is not reached, then the twenty-five-foot dock
or mooring shall suffice.
