[Added 9-15-1987]
[Amended 4-8-1997]
This district is designated to implement the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Islip in those
areas identified as wetlands and watercourses and adjacent buffer
areas pursuant to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
guidelines or as identified by the Town of Islip based upon inspection.
These objectives are as follows:
A.
To further the maintenance and improvement of our
fresh and salt water quality;
B.
To prevent the destruction of wetlands management
lands;
C.
To preserve natural drainageways and consequent flooding
of adjoining properties; and
D.
To diminish the amount of runoff and other pollution
into waterways, inlets and the Great South Bay.
[Amended 4-4-1989; 4-8-1997]
This district shall comprise all property regulated
by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as
wetlands or adjacent buffer areas. Unless a greater buffer area has
been established to the contrary, a minimum buffer area of 100 feet
shall be considered when determining yield.
[Amended 4-4-1989; 4-8-1997]
A.
A minimum lot area of 80,000 square feet shall be
required for a single-family residence.
B.
For parcels located partially within the Overlay District,
yield shall be based upon the following:
(1)
Yield for that portion of the property designated
as wetlands or adjacent buffer areas shall be based upon one dwelling
unit per 80,000 square feet of area, excluding underwater land.
(2)
Yield for that portion of the property not designated
as wetlands or adjacent buffer areas shall be based upon the underlying
zoning district.
(3)
The wetland and adjacent buffer yield combined with
the underlying zoning yield shall constitute the total yield for the
property.
(4)
Application to the Board of Appeals for a lot area
variance shall be required for all parcels that maintain a total yield
of less than one dwelling unit.
[Amended 4-4-1989; 4-8-1997]
A.
There shall be no development located within that portion of a site designated as wetlands. Development within a buffer area shall only be permitted in accordance with Chapter 67 of the Islip Town Code and pursuant to the comments of the Planning Department.
[Amended 12-9-1997]
B.
That portion of a parcel zoned for general service,
business or industrial use located within the Overlay District shall
not be utilized in meeting the minimum landscaping or buffer requirements
of the ordinance.
