The terms and conditions of this chapter are to be liberally construed
so as best to achieve and effectuate the public policy goals and purposes
hereof.
The dedication of property to the Nature Preserve shall not have the
effect of removing such land from park status where such status already exists
and shall not weaken any protection afforded by such status, including but
not limited to the common law rule which requires an act of the state legislature
to sell or divest parkland to other uses.
Subject to approval by a majority of the qualified electors of the Town of Southampton voting in the general election of November 1993, this chapter shall supersede, in its application to the Town's Nature Preserve, § 64, Subdivision 2, of the New York State Town Law by requiring a majority-plus-one vote of the Town Board and a mandatory referendum prior to any conveyance, lease, exchange, change in public use or other disposal of property dedicated to the Nature Preserve.
