26. RES-2011-971 : Resolution of Adoption for Amendments to Southampton Town Code Article XXVIII to Revise the Criteria for a Town Landmark Designation and the Procedure for the Designation of Town Historic Districts
WHEREAS, the Town Board is considering amending Article XXVIII (Landmarks and Historic Districts and Heritage Resource Areas) of the Southampton Town Code to Revise the Criteria for a Town Landmark Designation and the Procedure for the Designation of Town Historic Districts; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on September 27, 2011, at which time all persons either for or against said amendment were heard; and WHEREAS, the Department of Land Management has advised the Town Board that this proposed local law is considered a “Type II Action” under 6 NYCRR Part 617.5, provisions of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and Chapter 157 of the Town Code, and that no further review under New York Conservation Law, Article 8, is necessary; now therefore be it RESOLVED, that Local Law No. 33 of 2011 is hereby adopted as follows:LOCAL LAW NO. 33 OF 2011A LOCAL LAW amending Article XXVIII (Landmarks and Historic Districts and Heritage Resource Areas) of the Southampton Town Code to Revise the Criteria for a Town Landmark Designation and the Procedure for the Designation of Town Historic Districts. BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows: SECTION 1. Legislative Intent. As articulated in the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update, the historic and cultural pasts of Southampton Town are integral to our sense of place, sense of community, economy, and attraction as a visitor destination and second home market. Historic resources add greatly to Southampton’s scenic quality, sense of place, developmental heritage, and aesthetic character. As such, they contribute significantly to the continued economic vitality of the Town, both in terms of local business development, and the tourism that many of the Town’s residents and businesses rely upon. In order for these resources to be adequately protected, the Town Board recognizes that this historic identity must be recognized and preserved. The goal of historic preservation is to preserve continuity with the past, not the isolation of the past. Indeed, the continuity of our cultural heritage both anticipates and encourages ongoing change and development. Historic properties are recognized as resources important to the ongoing development of our communities. In order to increase community awareness of historic structures and ensure that these structures are given due consideration prior to alterations that may affect their historic integrity it is necessary to provide both a procedure for the designation of landmarks and historic districts and for the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). A historic district is a distinct area or concentration of structures that are highly intact and emulate a specific period, architectural style or are considered a significant historic resource for the hamlet or for the Town. Designations are normally considered prestigious recognitions and have the added effect of preserving or increasing property values. In addition historic districts allow for individuals to request landmark status for their properties and once obtained, apply for the purchase of façade easements or tax credits to offset the costs of maintenance or rehabilitation. Currently, a historic resources survey is under way in the Town, which is scheduled to be completed in November 2011. The survey will identify buildings, structures and/or sites that meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Town Code and that adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Identification and Evaluation. This type of reconnaissance is the most basic approach for systematically documenting and evaluating historic buildings. Based on fieldwork and accepted methodology, the Survey will include recommendations for the designation of landmarks and historic districts. In anticipation of the survey results, these amendments seek to revise the existing criteria and streamline the procedure for designation of Town landmarks and historic districts in order to better balance the objective of historic preservation with protecting the rights of property owners to ensure the goals of the comprehensive plan are met. SECTION 2. Amend Article XXVIII. Article XXVIII of the Southampton Town Code is hereby amended by adding the underlined words and deleting the stricken words as follows: §330-320.

35. RES-2011-978 : Notice of Public Hearing to Consider Amending Town Code Chapter 8 (Budget) to Override the Tax Levy Limit Established by General Municipal Law §3-c
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Southampton hereby directs that a public hearing shall be held on October 25, 2011, at 6:00 p.m., at Southampton Town Hall, 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, New York, to hear any and all persons either for or against a local law entitled: “A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code Chapter 8 (Budget) to override the tax levy limit established by General Municipal Law §3-c,” which provides as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. OF 2011 A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code Chapter 8 (Budget) to override the tax levy limit established by General Municipal Law §3-c. BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows: Section 1. Legislative Intent. On June 24, 2011, the property tax cap was signed into law pursuant to Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011. In short, the property tax cap establishes a limit on the annual growth, or increase of property taxes levied by local governments and school districts to 2%, or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. Though there are limited, narrow exclusions to the cap, including the costs of significant judgments arising out of tort actions and particular pension contribution rates, the cap applies to the total levy set by the Town of Southampton. By its terms, the tax levy cannot exceed the cap unless 60% of the Town Board approves such an increase by a duly adopted local law. Commencing in 2005, and most recently in 2010, certain Town residents have sought to tax themselves through a mechanism known as a special improvement district, or a beach erosion control district. The purpose of this district, in short, is to allow residents within the boundaries of a particular district, to tax themselves for specific, needed services that would otherwise not apply to the Town at-large. Here, the Town of Southampton has recently authorized the establishment of three beach erosion control districts, that is, the Bridgehampton, Sagaponack, and Tiana Beach Erosion Control Districts, to arrest erosion, prevent further damage from such erosion, and provide residents with a financial source from which to supplement local, state, and federal resources. Specifically, residents within these districts have voluntarily resolved to levy a tax of $200,000, $300,000, and $70,000, respectively, on each district as a whole, in order to manage projects aimed at restoring and re-nourishing beachfront property along the Atlantic coastline. Because the New York State Department of State as well as the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance have opined that the levy of these beach erosion control districts must be included within the Town’s overall tax levy, the Town Board of the Town of Southampton seeks to override the tax levy limit of 2% to specifically exclude these beach erosion control district levies, which amounts to an aggregate cost of $570,000. In short, the Town Board seeks to place this “self-tax” - voluntarily imposed by residents within these districts upon themselves - outside the overall tax levy limit for the Town. In order to do this, the Town Board must adopt a local authorizing an override of the cap for the 2012 fiscal year only. Section 2. Amendment. Town Code Chapter 8 (Budget) is hereby amended by adding the underlined words as follows: § 8-9. Tax Levy Limit Override. The Town Board of the Town of Southampton is hereby authorized to adopt a budget for the 2012 fiscal year that requires a real property tax levy in excess of the limit specified in General Municipal Law §3-c. This override shall be specifically and exclusively attributed to the monies levied for the special districts known as the Bridgehampton Beach Erosion Control District, the Sagaponack Beach Erosion Control District, and the Tiana Beach Erosion Control District. Section 3. Authority. This local law is adopted pursuant to Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011, and, more specifically, subdivision 5 of General Municipal Law §3-c, which expressly authorizes the Town Board to override the tax levy limit by the adoption of a local law approved by a vote of sixty percent (60%) of the Town Board. Section 4. Severability. If any section or subdivision, paragraph, clause, phrase or provision of this law shall be adjudged invalid or held unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, any judgment made thereby shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part or provision so adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION 5. Effective Date. This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby directed to publish the following Notice of Public Hearing: NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TAKE NOTICE, that the Town Board of the Town of Southampton hereby directs that a public hearing shall be held on October 25, 2011, at 6:00 p.m., at Southampton Town Hall, 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, New York, to hear any and all persons either for or against a local law entitled: “A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code Chapter 8 (Budget) to override the tax levy limit established by General Municipal Law §3-c.” Summary of Proposed LawIt is the intent of this local law to override the limit on the amount of real property taxes that may be levied by the Town of Southampton for the 2012 fiscal year.
