The general requirements relating to the arrangement of buildings, structures and uses occupying a lot for the zoning districts established by Article III are hereby established.
[Amended 4-11-1995 by L.L. No. 1-1995]
A.
The accompanying table entitled "Table of General
Bulk Requirements" shall be a part of this chapter and is referred
to herein as the "Bulk Table" and sets forth the minimum bulk requirements
of this chapter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: See Appendix B, Table of General
Bulk Requirements, located at the end of this chapter.
B.
Other Articles herein contain supplemental requirements
applying to bulk, setback and coverage of specified uses.
A.
As part of any minimum lot area requirement of this
chapter, not more than 50% of any land under water, subject to or
within the one-hundred-year frequency floodplain, within easements
or rights-of-way for overhead utilities, with slopes (unexcavated)
of over 25% or within a designated street line of any road, shall
be counted.
B.
Street frontage for residential lots fronting on culs-de-sac
or on a street with a radius of curvature at the center line of 100
feet or less or in other appropriate circumstances may be reduced
by the Planning Board at the time of subdivision plat approval to
no less than 1/2 of the required dimensions. No portion of the lot,
along the access route from its frontage into the lot, shall be narrower
than the approved frontage.
C.
In GB, HB and PLI Districts, no side yard or rear
yard shall be required where such yard abuts an overhead utility transmission
line right-of-way, railroad or a limited-access highway.
D.
In the PO, NB, GB, HB, PLI and POR Districts, where the subdivision of a developed parcel is proposed, no side yard shall be required where an existing building coincides, in whole or in part, with a proposed lot line. Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with § 255-31C. Access to all lots shall be provided in accordance with § 255-31A and may be provided across adjacent lots located in the proposed subdivision.
[Added 3-13-1990 by L.L. No. 5-1990]
A.
The Village Board may authorize the Planning Board,
simultaneously with the approval of a subdivision plat in accordance
with § 7-728 of the Village Law and the provisions of the
Average Density Zoning Resolution heretofore and hereafter adopted
by the Village Board, to modify the applicable bulk and area provisions
of this chapter. This procedure may be followed by the Planning Board
upon written application by the owner or subdivider or at the initiation
of the Planning Board. The procedure may be used to modify the minimum
lot area requirements; lot width; front, side and rear yards; and
street frontage. This procedure shall not be used to modify the requirements
for building height.
[Amended 4-11-1995 by L.L. No. 1-1995]
B.
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, then the Planning Board, as a condition
of final plat approval, may establish such conditions as to the ownership,
use and maintenance of such lands as it deems necessary to assure
the preservation of such lands for their intended purposes. All conditions
shall be approved by the Village Board prior to preliminary plat approval
by the Planning Board.
C.
Open space land created as part of the application
of average density to a subdivision plat and which is not required
or permitted to be accepted for dedication to the Village of Spring
Valley shall be in a form of common ownership, which form and content
shall be subject to the approval of the Village Board and which shall
meet at least one of the following conditions:
(1)
That each owner or owners of every subdivision lot
shall be an owner in common with the other owners of the subdivision
of the land intended to be held as open space.
(2)
That each subdivided lot shall carry with it a covenant
underwriting the payment of taxes on the open space land, which covenant
shall bind the owner thereof and every successive owner thereof.
(3)
A homeowners' or cooperative association or corporation
may be formed to hold ownership of the open space, provided that each
and every subdivided lot owner shall remain liable for the taxes,
operation and maintenance of the open space land.
(4)
Such other mechanism or form as shall be approved
by the Village Board which shall satisfy the requirements of the payment
of taxes and the operation and maintenance of the property so created.
