280-70 General requirements for all wireless communication facilities.
All wireless facilities, including collocations, shall be the least visually obtrusive design
possible that also permits the applicant to achieve its service needs. To that end, the
following design standards shall apply to all wireless communication facilities installed or
constructed pursuant to the terms of this chapter.
A. No wireless communication facility shall be used, erected or altered in the Town of
Southold except in accordance with the provisions of this article and any other applicable
sections of the Town Code.
B. Before securing a lease for a subiect property or a right-of-way agreement for a
new wireless communication facility, the Applicant, service provider, or tower owner
must hold a pre-development meeting with the planning department and building
inspector. During this meeting the following will be discussed, the proposed proiect,
location, and potential alternatives to the wireless communication facility. These
alternative options do not have to be entirely different from the proposed personal
wireless service facility; however, they should have measurable differences, such as:
(1) Location. An alternative could be located on a different property than the
proposed personal wireless service facility.
(2) Siting. An alternative could be in a different place on the same property as
the proposed personal wireless service facility.
Page 11 of 155
(3) Design. An alternative could be of the same height, location and siting as the
proposed personal wireless service facility but be designed to appear differently.
(4) Change in community scale, as exhibited in relative height, mass or
proportion of the personal wireless service facility within its proposed surroundings
(5) For painted monopoles, visible elements proposed on a contrasting
background
(6) Use of materials that are not characteristic of the existing built environment.
(7) Conservation of opportunities to maintain community scale, not
compromising buffering areas and low-lying buildings so as to start a trend away
from the existing community scale.
(8) Amount and diversity of landscaping and/or natural vegetation.
(9) Preservation of view corridors, vistas, and viewsheds.
(10) Additionally, the applicant shall provide a geographic search ring for a new
tower or base station alone with an evaluation that collocation on an existing tower
or base station or structures within the applicant's geographic search ring is not
reasonably feasible because collocation is technically or commercially impractical or
the owner of the existing tower or base station or structure is unwilling to enter into
a contract for such use at fair market value. Evaluation shall also include evidence
that no existing or previously approved tower or base station can reasonably be
used for the wireless communications facility placement instead of the construction
of a new tower or base station; that residential, historic, and designated scenic areas
cannot be served from outside the geographic search ring; or that the proposed
height of a new tower or base station or a proposed height increase of a substantially
modified tower or base station, or replacement tower or base station or collocation
is necessary to provide the applicant's designed service.
A. No wireless communication facility shall be used, erected or altered in the Town of
Southold except in accordance with the provisions of this article and any other applicable
sections of the Town Code.
B. All wireless communication facilities, and modifications to such facilities (as defined
in fz 280-69) shall require a building permit, a Wireless Facility Planning Permit, and in
some instances a special exception approval.
C. No new personal wireless service facility (PWSF) may be constructed without a
carrier licensed by the FCC as a provider. An FCC-licensed provider of wireless
communications services must either be the applicant or the co-applicant or have executed
a lease agreement with the applicant for any proposed new wireless communication
facility, collocation or modification. A copy of the executed lease agreement with redaction
of financial terms shall be provided as part of the application.
D. Location of wireless facilities.
(1) Applicants for wireless communications facilities shall locate, site and erect
said wireless facilities in accordance with the following priorities, with (a) being the

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 (.n (6) Maximum height: 140 feet.In zones, where collocation will
achieve the result of fewer antenna support structures, the Planning Board may modify

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.

in compliance. The provision requiring preexisting nonconforming facilities to be brought
into compliance may be modified by the Planning Board where such facilities would be
required to be rebuilt or relocated to be in compliance,if,in those cases only, the
applicant demonstrates that those preexisting facilities, given the carrier's coverage or
capacity needs, are already in a location that would comply the same or better as any
Page 30 of 155
alternate locations, or are already constructed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
C. Section 280-70 (Jl (2), Lot Size. Minimum lot sizes may be reduced on non-
conforming lots of record in the event the Applicant can demonstrate that no conforming
lots are available in the 2eop-raphic search ring.

the applicant shall have all remedies available at law.
280-75 Removal
A. Any wireless communication facility that is not operated for a continuous period of
12 months shall be deemed abandoned. At that time, the owner of the wireless
communication facility or the owner of the property where the wireless communication
facility is located shall remove all components thereof within 90 days of such deemed
abandonment or will be in violation of this article. In the case of a wireless communication
facility on preexisting structures, this provision shall apply to the wireless communication
facility only.If the wireless communication facility is not removed within said 90 days, the
Building Inspectors may give the owner notice that unless the removal is accomplished
within 30 days, the Town will cause the removal at the owner's 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
Page 04 of 155
and under the same 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 § 64(5-a) and govern the subject of removal of
wireless communication facilities in this chapter.
§ 280-76 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, subject 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 preexisting 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.
280-76.1 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, safetv and welfare.
A. Section 280-70 W (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
Page 85 of 155
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 provision requiring preexisting nonconforming facilities to be brought
into compliance may be modified by the Planning Board where such facilities would be
required to be rebuilt or relocated to be in compliance, if, in those cases only, the applicant
demonstrates that those preexisting facilities, given the carrier's coverage or capacity
needs, are alreadv in a location that would comply the same or better as any alternate
locations, or are already constructed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
C. Section 280-70 W (2), Lot Size. Minimum lot sizes may be reduced on non-
conforming lots of record in the event the Applicant can demonstrate that no conforming
lots are available in the geographic search ring.
D. Section 280-70 (J)(4). Setbacks. Setbacks may be reduced to less than the
determined fall zone of the tower or the bulk schedule where existing conditions,lot
dimensions, or tower design and siting circumstances justify a reduced setback.
280-76.2 Relief
With the exception of relief from the denial of an application for special exception approval
pursuant to � 280-72 C, and waivers pursuant to 280-76.1. Waivers of criteria, any
applicant desiring any other relief or exemption from the requirements of this article may
seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals in accordance with Article XXVI of this
chapter.
§ 280-76.3 Severability
The various parts, sections and clauses of this article are hereby declared to be severable. If
any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this article shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of
this article as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be
unconstitutional or invalid.
4 280-76.4 When effective
This article shall take effect immediatelv upon filing with the Secretary of State.
'New towers in single-family residential districts or recorded residential subdivisions are
only allowed on lots used for non-residential purposes which have a minimum size of two
2 acres.
