The Village of Poquott is hereby divided into the following
districts:
A - Residence
|
B - Residence
|
C - Residence
|
Said districts are bound and defined as shown on a map entitled
"Building Zone Map of the Village of Poquott, Suffolk County, New
York," which with all explanatory matter thereon, including the effective
date of this chapter, is hereby adopted and made a part of this chapter.
Where districts are referred to as "more restrictive" or "less
restrictive," the designation shall refer to the order in which the
districts are named above, the first name being the most restrictive.
Where uncertainty exists as to the locations of any boundaries
shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. District boundary lines are intended to follow streets, rights-of-way,
watercourses, or lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto,
unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions, as shown
on the Zoning Map.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated as following approximately
streets or rights-of-way, the center lines thereof shall be construed
to be such boundaries.
C. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow the edge of any pond, the Port Jefferson Harbor and Setauket
Harbor or other bodies of water the mean high water lines thereof
shall be construed to be the district boundaries, except that the
regulations of the most restrictive district on the edge of such a
body of water shall apply to the area within the mean high water line
thereof. (See map.)
D. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
E. In subdivided property, or where a district boundary divides a lot,
the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by
dimensions shown on said map, shall be determined by the use of the
map scale shown thereon.
F. If the district classification of any land is in question, it shall
be deemed to be in the most restrictive district.
Where a lot in one ownership of record at the time of the adoption
of this chapter is divided by one or more district boundary lines,
the Board of Appeals may permit a limited extension of a use or structure
into more restrictive portion of the affected lot, provided:
A. The affected lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted
district; and
B. Conditions and safeguards are attached to such permit to protect
existing or prospective development in the more restrictive district.
