visual expression by defining what constitutes a mural and to provide

Definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in
the subsection, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection,
except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched,
or painted illicitly on a wall or other surface.
Type 1: A design or representation which does not contain promotional
or commercial advertising painted or drawn on a wall.
Type 2: An original, one-of-a-kind unique design or representation
which contains limited references to the establishment, product or
service provided on the site which is painted or drawn on a wall on
that site.
A name, identification, description, display, light, balloon,
banner or illustration which is affixed to, painted, or otherwise
located or set upon or in a building, structure or piece of land,
and which directs attention to an object, product, place, activity,
person, institution, organization or business, and which is visible
from any public street, sidewalk, alley, park or public property.
The definition includes interior and exterior signs but not signs
primarily directed at persons within the premises of the sign owner.
The definition does not include goods displayed in a business window.
The definition does not includes religious symbols or paintings which
do not display lettering do not advertise a business, product or service.
In addition, signs may be a device, structure, fixture, or placard
using graphics, symbols, and/or written copy designed specifically
for the purpose of advertising or identifying an establishment, product,
or service, or activity provided on the site on which the sign is
located. This definition does not include designs or representations
which are a Type 1 or Type 2 mural.
(3)
Murals.
(b)
Murals may not be placed on the primary facade of the structure.
In instances in which the structure has two primary facades (at the
intersection of two public streets), murals would not be placed on
either facade.
(c)
Murals may only be placed directly on unimproved concrete, concrete
block or brick facades. However, should the applicant desire to have
a mural constructed off site in moveable panels to be installed on
said facade, the attachment of said panels must comply with applicable
building codes, subject to required permits and inspection; must not
cover window or door openings unless properly sealed in compliance
with applicable building codes; the attachment devices must not compromise
the structural integrity of the surface to which the panels are attached;
and said panels must be securely attached to prevent failure due to
weather conditions, vandalism or age.
(d)
Murals shall be maintained in good repair, free from peeling
paint or damage due to age, weather, vandalism or the like. Failure
to maintain a mural in good repair may result in notification by the
Code Enforcement Officer and, if necessary, appropriate enforcement
action by the Village, including recovery of related expenses for
enforcement.
(e)
Prior to installation of a mural, the property owner or tenant
(with written permission of the property owner) shall apply for a
determination of whether the proposed design or representation is
a sign, Type 1 mural or a Type 2 mural, and, if the proposed design
or representation is a Type 2 mural, whether it complies with the
requirements of this subsection. The application with fee, as determined
by the Village, shall be forwarded to Zoning Administrator who shall
conduct an administrative review of the application and design for
compliance with this subsection.
(f)
Murals shall not contain words (in any language), symbols or
representations that are obscene, offensive, of a political nature
or are derogatory.
(g)
The Village Board of Trustees, at its discretion, may designate
a three-person review committee consisting of the Village Mayor (or
designee), Village Clerk, and Code Enforcement Officer to review mural
design for compliance with this subsection. The committee, at its
discretion, may refer the mural design to the Planning Board for further
review.
(h)
Following determination:
[2]
If the proposed design or representation is determined to be
a Type 1 mural, no further review or action is necessary before creating
or installing the mural.
[3]
If the proposed design or representation is determined to be
a Type 2 mural, the applicant shall obtain a determination of whether
the Type 2 mural complies with all requirements of this subsection
before creating or installing the mural.
(i)
Type 2 murals may be allowed if:
[1]
The graphics, words, and/or symbols referencing the establishment,
product, or service are limited in scope and dominance, and not readily
construed as commercial advertising. References must be subtle and
integrated into the overall mural design.
[2]
The references to an establishment, product, or service are
not to be in the form of traditional building signage. Traditional
signs on the same wall will be reviewed separately under applicable
sign requirements.
(j)
Where numbers of signs or maximum square footages apply to a
particular location, a mural shall not count as a sign nor figure
into the allowable sign area.
[Added 4-14-2003 by L.L.

In all districts, dwellings shall have a minimum width of 22
feet at the narrowest point of their first story for a depth of 20
feet. Floor area must be a minimum of 660 square feet but may be greater
depending on the New York State Building and Fire Code[1] or subsequent codes as may be adopted.
