A.
Notwithstanding all other provisions of this chapter,
all property constituting less than 100 acres for which the Town of
Queensbury is under a valid, executed contract to purchase shall be
exempt from all provisions of this chapter, including the subdivision
regulations. Such exemption shall expire if said contract is terminated
prior to closing of title.
B.
This exemption shall not apply to those transactions which result in the seller's remaining adjacent property being in violation of the relevant area and/or setback requirements of Article 4, General Regulations, of this chapter.
C.
This section shall not apply to any land division
which constitutes a Class A or B Regional Project under the Adirondack
Park Agency Act or any action which requires a permit under the Freshwater
Wetlands Act[1] or the Wild, Scenic or Recreational Rivers System Act.[2] In addition, all land uses and development which are related
to the jurisdictional subdivision or which are independently Class
A or B Regional Projects shall require a permit from the Adirondack
Park Agency or the Town, respectively. In every case, the shoreline
restrictions of this chapter shall apply.
D.
Projects initiated by the federal government, state
government, state urban development corporations and public schools
may sometime be exempt from local zoning regulations. Government immunity
from zoning regulations is subject to interpretation. Notice of development
proposed by such entities is required so that the Zoning Administrator/Code
Enforcement Officer can make a formal determination.
