NORTH SEA BEACH COLONY ASSOCIATION
NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS


The following requirements apply to all contractors (including
sub-contractors and landscapers) operating within the perimeters of the
North Sea Beach Colony Association (NSBC). The requirements are in addition
to full compliance with all the regulations governing contracting work
within the Township of Southampton.

It is the responsiblility of each homeowner (and/or property manager) to
notify the contractor, and to enforce the requirements listed below.

Copy of this notice should be provided to all contractors (including
sub-contractors and landscapers) before any construction, landscaping,
demolition and/or removal work is undertaken.

Weight Limits on NSBC Private Roads

All construction equipment circulating within the private streets of NSBC
shall not exceed a Gross Weight of 25,000 pounds. This applies to heavy-duty
trucks (including dump trucks, dumpsters, cement, and flatbed trucks) and
any type of construction machinery with rubber tires. No construction
machinery running on steel-tracks is allowed to circulate within NSBC roads.

Road Damage

The NSBC road base and existing pavement surface were not built to withstand
the circulation of heavy loads. The current pavement structure (2 inches of
asphalt and 2-3 inches of sub-grade) is less than half the thickness (and
less resistant to heavy loads) than which is normally specified for public
roads; as a consequence extreme care should be taken when circulating with
heavy loads.

Contracting property owners will be liable for any road damage caused by the
circulation of heavy-duty construction vehicles within NSBC roads.

Erosion Control

The contractor is responsible for controlling erosion from the perimeters of
the construction area.

All dirt resulting from excavation, grading, soil movement and driveway
construction shall not be allowed to spill into the NSBC road system and/or
the beachfront, and shall be contained within the perimeters of the site.
Any vehicle mud and dirt carryout, material spills, or soil wash-out onto
streets and walkways shall be cleaned up immediately.

Any dirt and/or silt materials that wash-out into the dry wells located at
the lowest points of the road system (Bay Street and/or corner of East and
South Streets) will be removed at the contracting owner’s expense by the
NSBC Association.

Construction Noise

The following limitations apply to the peak of the summer season, which is
defined as from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend. This is the period
when almost all houses are either owner- or renter-occupied.

No construction noise (including power equipment and/or loud voices) will be
allowed before 8:00 AM on weekdays, and 10:00 AM on Saturdays and Sundays,
or after 5:00 PM any day. Activities allowed to take place outside these
time periods should be quiet and not produce any disturbing noise to
adjacent properties.

For the rest of the year (from Labor Day weekend through Memorial Day),
noise restriction applies to before 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, and
before 8:00 AM and after 6:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.

The property owner (and/or contracting person) is responsible for the
enforcement of the noise restrictions. In the case where the owner is absent
from the noise generating activity, any neighbor shall step in to enforce
these requirements, and notify the owner of any violation of these
guidelines.

General

It is advised that all owners or property managers verify with the
chairperson of the road committee or the officers of the NSBC Association
than any road damage has been repaired, and/or silt deposits into the dry
wells are removed before making any final payments to any contractor.
