expense. All costs and expenses incurred by the Town in connection with any proceeding or any
work done for the removal of a wireless communication facility shall be assessed against the land
on which such wireless communication facility is located, and a statement of such expenses shall be
presented to the owner of the property, or if the owner cannot be ascertained or located, then
such statement shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises. Such assessment shall be
and constitute a lien upon such land.If the owner of the facility and the owner of the property upon
which the facility is located shall fail to pay such expenses within 10 days after the statement is
presented or posted, a legal action may be brought to collect such assessment or to foreclose such
lien. As an alternative to the maintenance of any such action, the Building Inspector may file a
certificate of the actual expenses incurred as aforesaid, together with a statement identifying the
property in connection with which the expenses were incurred and the owner of the facility and
the owner of the property upon which the facility is located, with the Assessors, who shall, in the
preparation of the next assessment roll, assess such amount upon such property. Such amount
shall be included in the levy against such property, shall constitute a lien and shall be collected and
enforced in the same manner, by the same proceedings, at the same time and under the same
Page 84 of 86
penalties as are provided by law for the collection and enforcement of real property taxes in the
Town of Southold.
B. This section is enacted pursuant to §10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to promote the
public health, safety and general welfare of Town citizens through removal provisions to
ensure the proper decommissioning of wireless communication facilities within the entire
Town. The removal reduction provision of this chapter shall supersede any inconsistent
portions of the Town Law 04 (5-a) and govern the subiect of removal of wireless
communication facilities in this chapter.
4280-76 Preexisting Antenna Support Structures and Antennas.
A. Preexisting antenna support structures and antennas,for which a permit has been issued prior
to the effective date of this article, may continue in use for the purpose now used and as now
existing, subiect to the conditions of that permit. Preexisting antenna support structures and
antennas may not be replaced, structurally altered, or added to without complying in all
respects with this article. The issuance of permit renewals or other new permits for such
facilities shall be in accordance with the provisions of this article. Preexisting antenna support
structures and antennas without the proper permits shall be considered out of compliance with
this article.
B. Any wireless service provider with at least one preexisting antenna support structure or
antenna in the Town of Southold that is out of compliance with the building and zoning
requirements in this chapter prior to the adoption of this article shall not be eligible for any
new approvals until the pre-existing antenna support structure or antenna is brought into
compliance with this article.
C. Until all required permits are secured,no issuance of any new permit shall occur for a request to
co-locate,attach,or share an existing antenna support structure,when such existing facility is
found to have one or more antennas or mounts without permits.
D. Any application by a wireless service provider shall be deemed incomplete if that provider has
a preexisting antenna support structure in the Town on which there is any antenna or mount
without permits, and said application shall not be processed until that facility is brought into
compliance with this article.
4280-76.1 Waivers of Criteria.
In approving a Wireless Facility Planning Permit or special exception, the Planning Board may waive
or modify the following criteria if it finds that the goals and stated purposes of this article are better
served by doing so, and that there is no detriment to the public health, safety and welfare.
A. Section 280-70 (J) (6) Maximum height: 140 feet. In zones, where collocation will achieve
the result of fewer antenna support structures, the Planning Board may modify the hundred-
forty (140) foot height restriction with the condition that the antenna support structure be
constructed so that antennas can be installed at any height on the structure, and that the
overall height of the structure can be reduced if antennas are moved to lower heights. No
antenna support structure shall remain at a height that is taller than that required by installed
and operational antennas. The applicant must show that co-location of other carriers is likely
by demonstrating that coverage or capacity gaps of other carriers are located in the same area
as the proposed structure.
B. Section 280-76 Preexisting antenna support structures and antennas not in compliance. The
