The local law set forth within this chapter shall be known and
may be cited as the "Driveway Law of the Town of Union Vale."
The Town Board hereby declares that, in the interest of public
safety and convenience and in order to promote a sound residential
environment, both individual and common driveways must be designed,
constructed and maintained to afford suitable access to any residential
dwelling or other habitable structure from a public or private street
or highway in accordance with § 280 of the Town Law and
in a manner that both avoids adverse impact upon the intersecting
public or private street or roadway and provides reasonable access
to such residential dwelling or other habitable structure throughout
all seasons of the year for both routine and emergency purposes.
For purposes of this chapter, each of the below terms shall
have the meaning set forth herein:

or roadway to either a parking area or two or more lots, parcels or
uses.

or roadway to one lot and serving not more than two dwelling units.
