[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Southampton 10-5-1962; amended in its entirety 4-28-1967. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It shall be unlawful to extend or cause to be
extended, by digging, dredging or other earth-moving means or methods,
any bay, lake, pond, creek or any arm of such natural body of water
bordering on or situated upon any land in the Village of Southampton,
so as to create any boat basin, lagoon, canal or similar extension
of the natural limits of such body of water, by whatever designation
called, which shall be more than 40 feet in length and/or more than
20 feet in width; but the removal of undesirable vegetation and the
removal of bog for a distance of 10 feet at or near the shore of any
such body of water or arm thereof shall not be deemed an extension
of same. Removal of bog for a distance in excess of 10 feet may be
permitted by the Board of Trustees in cases of special circumstances
adversely affecting the health, safety and general welfare of the
Village.
No part of any such permitted boat basin, lagoon
or canal shall be nearer than 10 feet from any exterior boundary line,
other than a boundary line formed by a natural body of water, of the
property upon which same is located. Such permitted boat basin, lagoon
or canal shall be bulkheaded in accordance with specifications to
be submitted by the applicant for a bulkheading permit and approved
by the Village Engineer. Upon the approval of same in writing by the
Village Engineer, the Village Clerk shall issue a bulkheading permit.
All such bulkheads shall be maintained in good repair.
