This chapter shall be known as the "Town of Sand Lake Zoning
Code."
Enactment of this chapter is pursuant to the Town Law of the
State of New York, Municipal Home Rule Law, and the Constitution of
the State of New York. The Town Board hereby declares its legislative
intent to supersede provisions of the Town Law that are inconsistent
with this Code. The courts are hereby asked to take notice of the
legislative intent to supersede pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule
Law and the Constitution of the State of New York and apply it in
the event the Town has failed to specify any provision of law that
may require supersession. The Town Board hereby declares that it would
have superseded such inconsistent provision had the need to do so
been apparent.
The purpose of this chapter is to broadly protect the public
health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Town of Sand Lake
and to protect their property through land use regulations under the
authority of the New York State Town Law and in accordance with the
Town of Sand Lake Comprehensive Plan.
A.
Except as hereinafter provided, no new building or land shall hereafter
be used or occupied and no building or part thereof shall be erected,
moved, or altered unless in conformity with this Code.
