[Amended 1-24-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011]
A.
The purpose
of the Land Conservation District is to delineate those areas where
substantial development of the land in the way of buildings or structures
is not desirable because of special or unusual conditions of topography,
drainage or floodplain or other natural conditions, whereby considerable
damage to buildings or structures and possible loss of life may occur
due to the processes of nature and because of the lack of proper facilities
or improvements resulting in the land not being suitable for development
at the present time, where such facilities or improvements must be
undertaken on an area-wide rather than individual parcel basis in
order to serve adequately at a reasonable cost to the Village.
B.
To promote
these purposes in Land Conservation Districts, no building or other
structure shall be built or land used, and no building shall be built,
altered or erected to be used for any purposes other than that of:
(1)
Farm
or other agricultural operation, including gardens, nurseries, greenhouses
and usual farm accessory buildings, not including dwellings or buildings
housing farm animals or fowl.
(2)
Park,
playground, athletic field, golf course, riding academy, game preserve
and other similar uses, including usual accessory buildings.
(3)
Municipal
or public utility structures or facilities.
(4)
Fraternity,
sorority, chapter or membership association, as defined herein.
A.
Area. The minimum area per establishment shall be
40,000 square feet, and the minimum width of lot at the front building
line shall be 150 feet.
B.
Front yards. There shall be a front yard with a depth
of not less than 80 feet into which space there shall be no encroachment
of building construction.
C.
Side and rear yards. No building shall be placed closer
to a side or rear property line than 50 feet.
D.
Height. For each foot that the height of a building
or other structure exceeds 35 feet, the total width of the two side
yards shall be increased by two feet.
