[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Islip 7-2-74 as Local
Law No. 5, 1974. Amendments noted where applicable.]
In order to manage, protect and preserve unique areas within the Town
of Islip, the Town shall establish Nature Preserve Trust areas, whereby land
once dedicated may not be taken or otherwise disposed of nor used for any
purpose not specified in the dedicating resolution.
A.
By resolution adopted by the Town Board, the Town shall
dedicate wetlands properties it owns, in addition to any other Town-owned
lands it sees fit. to the Town Nature Preserve Trust to be established by
the implementation of this local law.
B.
Only properties found to possess natural beauty, estuarine
values, including wetlands and shorelines, or of ecological significance,
or which have the potential of being restored to their original states, may
be dedicated to the Town Nature Preserve Trust. All properties created as
a result of dredging spoil management and wetlands rehabilitation programs
shall be eligible for dedication.
C.
The resolution dedicating Town-owned land to the Town
Nature Preserve Trust shall provide that all or a specified portion of the
property being dedicated shall be kept forever wild or in its natural state,
or that it may be used only for the purpose or purposes specified in the resolution.
D.
The Islip Town Planning Department, after counseling
with the various Town departments, agencies and councils, is charged with
the duty to recommend to the Town Board which Town-owned properties, consistent
with the overall planning of the Town, should be dedicated to the Town Nature
Preserve Trust and which properties not owned by the Town should be acquired
for purposes of dedication.
E.
Property owned by the Town and dedicated under this section
to the Town Nature Preserve Trust shall not be taken, leased, sold, exchanged
or otherwise disposed of, nor shall they be used for any purpose not specified
in the resolution under which the property was dedicated to the Town Nature
Preserve Trust. If after dedication the Town shall decide to unclassify property
from the forever wild classification, it must give public notice and hold
a public hearing; provided, however, that such action may not take place for
a period of ten (10) years from the property's original dedication.
F.
The Islip Town Environmental Control Department is hereby
charged with the management of all properties dedicated under this section
to the Town Nature Preserve Trust.
A violation of any of the provisions of this Chapter 13 may be restrained by a suit brought by any citizen of the Town of Islip by making application to any Justice of the New York State Supreme Court.
This local law is enacted under the provisions of Article 9 of the New
York State Constitution, the Town Law and the Municipal Home Rule Law of the
State of New York. This local law shall take effect when the appropriate certified
copies hereof are filed with the Secretary of State and the Comptroller of
the State of New York pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law.
