[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Lloyd Harbor 5-21-2018 by L.L.
No. 1-2018. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The use of property for the landing or taking off of helicopters
within the Village of Lloyd Harbor is found to constitute a nuisance,
creating unacceptable noise and disruption to the quiet use and enjoyment
of property reasonably expected by Village residents. Such use is
found not to be customarily incidental or accessory to any primary
permitted use in the Village. It is the purpose and intent of this
chapter to prohibit the landing or taking off of helicopters except
the single previously permitted user within the Village as a means
of transportation other than for uses specifically associated with
the health, safety and welfare of Village residents.
This chapter shall be known and entitled as the "Helicopter
Landing Prohibition."
The use of helicopters for landing or taking off within the
Village of Lloyd Harbor is prohibited except as otherwise provided
herein.
Heliports, helipads or any other structure and/or area intended
for use as a landing or taking-off point for helicopters are prohibited
within the Village of Lloyd Harbor except as may necessarily be required
in association with the exceptions stated in this chapter.
This chapter shall not apply to the use of helicopters as may
be required for military or governmental purposes or for medical or
police emergencies or as may, upon application, specifically be authorized
by the Board of Trustees. Existing heliports may continue to be used
only for the personal use by the owner of the premises on which it
is located.
A.
Each offense against any provision of this chapter shall be a violation
punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000. Each landing and takeoff
in violation of this chapter shall constitute a separate and distinct
violation.
B.
In addition to the penalties set forth hereinabove, the Village may
institute appropriate proceedings in the Supreme Court to prevent,
restrain, correct or abate a violation of this chapter.
