[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sagaponack 11-12-2007
by L.L. No. 32-2007. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The State of New York, in its Freshwater Wetlands Act (§ 24-0101
et seq. of the Environmental Conservation Law), declared it to be a public
policy of the state to preserve, protect and conserve freshwater wetlands
and their benefits and established procedures designed to implement that policy.
Among them is the authority of the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation to delegate responsibility to local governments for carrying
out the law within their borders, upon the filing of the State Freshwater
Wetlands Maps. That filing occurred on May 26, 1993.
Pursuant to § 24-0501 of the New York State Environmental
Conservation Law, the Village of Sagaponack hereby adopts those provisions
of the State Freshwater Wetlands Act (§ 24-0101 et seq. of the Environmental
Conservation Law) that are applicable to the issuance of freshwater wetlands
permits thereunder, as the same may be amended from time to time.
Nothing herein shall be construed to repeal, modify or limit the authority
of the Village to regulate wetlands under additional local laws or to limit
the authority of the Village to enact future local laws regulating wetlands
in accordance with state law.
