D. By the approval of these regulations by resolution, the
Town Board hereby authorizes the Planning Board, in accordance with
the provisions of § 281 of the Town Law of the State of
New York simultaneously with the approval of a plat or plats pursuant
to this article, to modify applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. Such
authorization shall specify the lands outside the limits of any incorporated
village to which this procedure may be applicable. The purposes of
such authorization shall be to enable and encourage flexibility of
design and development of land in such a manner as to promote the
most appropriate use of land, to facilitate the adequate and economical
provision of streets and utilities and to preserve the natural and
scenic qualities of open lands. The conditions hereinabove referred
to are as follows:
(1) If the owner makes written application for the use of
this procedure, it may be followed at the discretion of the Planning
Board if, in said Board's judgment, its application would benefit
the Town.
(2) This procedure shall be applicable only to lands zoned
for residential purposes, and its application shall result in a permitted
number of dwelling units which shall in no case exceed the number
which could be permitted, in the Planning Board's judgment, if
the land were subdivided into lots conforming to the minimum lot size
and density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance applicable to the
district or districts in which such land is situated and conforming
to all other applicable requirements. All calculations are to be tabulated
on the plan in order to verify lot areas, road areas, road widenings,
etc.
(3) The dwelling units permitted may be at the discretion
of the Planning Board and subject to the conditions set forth by the
Town Board, in detached, semidetached, attached or multistory structures.
(4) In the event that the application of this procedure results
in a plat showing lands available for park, recreation, open space
or other municipal purposes directly related to the plat, then the
Planning Board as a condition of plat approval may establish such
conditions on the ownership, use and maintenance of such lands as
it deems necessary to assure the preservation of such land for their
intended purposes. The Town Board may require that such conditions
shall be approved by the Town Board before the plat may be approved
for filing.
(5) The proposed site plan, including areas within which structures
may be located, the height and spacing of buildings, open spaces and
their landscaping, off-street open and enclosed parking spaces and
streets, driveways and all other physical features as shown on said
plan or otherwise described, accompanied by a statement setting forth
the nature of such modifications, changes or supplementation of existing
zoning provisions as are not shown on said site plan, shall be subject
to review and public hearing by the Planning Board in the same manner
as set forth herein for the approval of plats.
(6) On the filing of the plat in the office of the County
Clerk or Registrar, a copy shall be filed with the Town Clerk, who
shall make appropriate notations and references thereto in the Town
Zoning Ordinance or Map.
