[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sands
Point 1-24-1995 by L.L. No. 3-1995. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Sands Point (hereinafter
the "Board") hereby finds that it is beneficial to the Village of Sands Point
(hereinafter the "village") and its residents to establish and maintain the
newly acquired municipal recreational facility known as the "Village Club
of Sands Point" as a self-supporting improvement in accordance with Article
13 of the Village Law of the State of New York. The Board further finds it
to be fair and equitable and in the best interest of the village and its residents
to limit the use of the golf course and tennis facilities to village residents
and, if necessary, nonresidents who pay an annual membership fee for the use
and enjoyment of such facilities. The number of nonresidents that may be issued
membership for the use of such facilities shall be limited to that which the
self-supporting improvement may efficiently and economically serve or accommodate
in excess of village residents and as shall be determined. It is, therefore,
the intent of the Board of Trustees, in enacting this chapter, to establish
and maintain the Village Club of Sands Point as a self-supporting improvement
in accordance with Article 13 of the Village Law of the State of New York,
to limit and regulate the use thereof and to authorize the imposition of an
annual membership fee structure and other charges relating to or arising from
the use of the golf course and tennis facilities.
