A. 
The Village is seeking and has commenced a proceeding pursuant to the Eminent Domain Procedure Law to acquire certain properties for the purpose of establishing a passive waterfront park along Manhasset Bay for the benefit of all of the residents of the Village to increase the level and types of access to public water-related resources, for such activities as walking along the beachfront, bird watching, photography, and nature study, as a tranquil and quiet respite from the pressures of everyday life, and to be a haven for fowl and other wildlife for that watching, photography, and study.
B. 
In order to allow the residents of the Village to enjoy the park in the manner for which the park was established and to assure that the use of the park does not interfere with the neighboring residential properties, it is important to provide certain rules and regulations.
