[Added 4-21-2016 by L.L.
No. 5-2016]
Property shall not be initially designated or included into
the Parks and Conservation District while it is privately owned, without
the written consent of the owner to such inclusion first having been
obtained. Lands of the federal, state, county or any local government,
or of any subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality thereof,
shall not be subject to this limitation and may be so included by
a duly adopted amendment to this chapter at any time such designation
or inclusion appears warranted or appropriate. This section shall
not be deemed to require the rezoning of any Parks and Conservation
District property because of a change in the ownership or ownership
status thereof, subsequent to such designation or inclusion.
[Amended 10-12-2021 by L.L. No. 4-2022]

areas, nature preserves and historic sites shall be permitted uses

restrooms, administration and maintenance buildings, gift shops, docks,
bulkheads, access walkways, viewing platforms and the like shall be
erected in the Parks and Conservation District. Where the use is a
cultural or historic facility, such as a museum or interpretive center,

to educate the public about the same.

size. The method of sewage disposal and water supply shall also be
approved by the Suffolk County Department of Health.
