[HISTORY: Adopted by the Suffolk County Legislature as indicated
in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable. Uncodified
sections of local laws amending these provisions are included at the
end of this chapter.]
[Adopted 6-27-2000 by L.L. No. 12-2000 (Ch. 141, Art. I,
of the 1985 Code)]
A.
This Legislature hereby finds and determines that there have been
incidents in which vacant County land has been used in a manner that
dramatically changes its condition, without adequate notice to neighboring
residents.
B.
This Legislature also finds and determines that such surprise changes
in the use of vacant County land can be very disruptive to the aesthetics
and quality of life of local communities.
C.
Therefore, the purpose of this article is to impose a requirement
that any property owner within 200 feet of a proposed change in use,
on vacant County land, shall receive at least 15 days' public
notice.
A.
Whenever the County of Suffolk formally agrees and commits to a change
in the physical use of vacant County-owned real property by construction
or improvement, the pertinent County department, office or agency
having jurisdiction over implementation of the change in the physical
use of such property shall provide adequate public and written notice
to all property owners located within 200 feet of the proposed change
in use.
B.
The notice required by Subsection A of this section shall specify the nature and scope of the proposed change in the physical use of such property in such a manner as to clearly, concisely, conspicuously, accurately and completely identify said change in use at least 15 days before the commencement of any such activity to change the physical use of such property.
This article shall apply to all actions occurring on or after
the effective date of this article.
