§ 280-74. Application Approval Timelines
A. Small wireless facilities in Town rights-of-way
(1) Total timeline for review from date of receipt of a complete application by
the Town:
(a) Collocation using an existing structure: sixty (60) days.
(b) Installation using a new or replacement structure: ninety (90) days.
(2) Review timeline:
(a) Unless a written agreement between the applicant and the Town
provides otherwise, for an initial application the Town planning staff
designee shall review the siting application and notify the applicant on
or before the tenth (loth) day after submission of the application that
the application is materially incomplete, and clearly and specifically
identify the missing documents or information and the specific rule or
regulation creating the obligation to submit such documents or
information. The comment notice shall identify the deficiencies in the
application, which, if cured,would make the application complete.
The shot clock date for siting application is determined by counting
Page 07 of 97
forward, beginning on the day after the date when the application was
submitted, by the number of calendar days of the shot clock period.
The shot clock calculation shall restart at zero (0) on the date on
which the applicant submits all the documents and information
identified by the Town to render the application complete or
incomplete.
(c) The wireless communication facility shall be deemed complete on
resubmission if the resubmitted materials cure the original
deficiencies indicated by the Town.
If the Town does not approve the application following resubmission,
then the application shall be deemed incomplete, and the steps
outlined above will be followed until the application is deemed
complete.
(e) The Town may deny an application for any of the following reasons:
I11 Applicable codes, Town Code or objective design standards
that concern public safety, traffic safety and aesthetic concerns
for decorative Town utility poles,including reasonable and
nondiscriminatory concealment requirements such as
screening or landscaping for ground-mounted equipment; or
[21 Public safety and reasonable spacing requirements concerning
the location of ground-mounted equipment in a right-of-wav,
including ADA compliance;
[31 If the Town denies an application, then the Town must
document the basis for a denial,including the specific code
provisions on which the denial was based. The Town shall
send the documentation to the applicant on or before
the day the Town denies an application.If the Town fails to
approve or deny the application within the prescribed shot
clock timeline, the applicant shall
have all remedies available at law.
(f) Batching. If a single application seeks authorization for multiple
deployments then the presumptively reasonable period of time
for the application for the applications as a whole is equal to that for a
single deployment within that category. The Town may remove a
small wireless facility from a consolidated application and treat
separately small wireless facility locations for which incomplete
information has been provided or that are denied. The Town
will issue a separate permit for each location that is approved.
IgI All work within the Town rights-of-way is also subject to approval of
a street opening permit for work that involves excavation, affects
Page 00 of 97

harmless the Town, and its officials, agents, and
employees from and against all suits, actions or claims
of any character brought because of anv iniury or
damage received or sustained by any person, persons or
property arising out of, or resulting from, said
provider's breach of any provision of law, including but
not limited to any asserted negligent act, error or
omission of the provider, or its agents or employees,
arising from or relating to its small wireless facility. The
indemnifications required hereunder shall not be

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
Page 92 of 97
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 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 subiect 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,
Page 93 of 97
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, 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 28046. 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,
Oven the carrier's coverage or capacity needs, are already
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 28040 (J) (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 28040 (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
Page 94 of 97
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.
280-76.4. When effective.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.
