The Superintendent of Buildings for the Village of Old Westbury,
hereinafter referred to as the "Local Administrator," is responsible
for receiving applications, examining the plans and specifications
and issuing permits for the proposed construction or development.
A.Â
No person shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, improve,
move, or demolish any building or structure without first obtaining
a separate permit for each building or structure from the Local Administrator.
B.Â
No man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including
but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging,
filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations, shall
be commenced until a separate permit has been obtained from the Local
Administrator for each change.
C.Â
No manufactured home shall be placed on improved or unimproved real
estate without first obtaining a separate permit for each mobile home
from the Local Administrator.
To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file a permit
application on a form furnished for that purpose. The form must be
completed and submitted to the Local Administrator before the issuance
of a permit will be considered.
A.Â
After reviewing the application, the Local Administrator shall require
any additional measures which are necessary to meet the minimum requirements
of this chapter;
B.Â
The Local Administrator shall review proposed development to assure
that all necessary permits have been received from those governmental
agencies from which approval is required by federal or state law,
including Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments
of 1972, 33 U.S.C. § 1334;
C.Â
The Local Administrator shall review all permit applications to determine
whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding.
If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new construction
and substantial improvements (including the placement of prefabricated
buildings and mobile homes) shall be designed (or modified) and adequately
anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the
structure, be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant
to flood damage and be constructed by methods and practices that minimize
flood damage;
D.Â
The Local Administrator shall review subdivision proposals and other
proposed new development to determine whether such proposals will
be reasonably safe from flooding. If a subdivision proposal or other
proposed new development is in a flood-prone area, any such proposals
shall be reviewed to assure that all such proposals are consistent
with the need to minimize flood damage within the flood-prone area,
all public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical,
and water systems, are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate
flood damage, and adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure
to flood hazards;
E.Â
The Local Administrator shall require within flood-prone areas new
and replacement water supply systems to be designed to minimize or
eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems; and
F.Â
The permitting official shall require within flood-prone areas new
and replacement sanitary sewage systems to be designed to minimize
or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges
from the systems into floodwaters and on-site waste disposal systems
to be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them
during flooding.
