The inclusion of the Economic Development District
as part of the comprehensive plan of use embodied in this chapter
is in accord with the following development policy of the Village
of Muttontown:
A. Taking into account:
(1) The consideration of property values in the Village;
(2) The conservation of existing and potential property
values in the Village;
(3) The physical characteristics of the terrain of the
Village for various uses; and
(4) The physical situation of the Village and the functional
relationships of the uses of land therein to the existing and prospective
development of the adjoining areas of Nassau County;
B. It is determined that:
(1) The most appropriate predominant use of land throughout
the Village consists of low-density one-family residential development,
carefully regulated as to quality;
(2) All other uses in the Village shall be related to
such residential use, either:
(a)
In a community sense, such as schools and other
community institutions; or
(b)
In an economic sense, by reason of contributing
to a tax base for the Village that will make possible the adequate
provision of the public facilities and services that are necessary
for sound residential development; and
(3) All such nonresidential uses shall be limited in location,
size and character to the extent that they will perform their respective
functions in a manner that will not detract from the aforesaid character
of the Village or hinder further development of like nature and quality.
C. The Economic Development District is intended to provide a means for the establishment of the types of uses outlined in the preceding Subsection
B(2)(b) in a manner in keeping with best modern practice as to group design of the buildings in which such uses are conducted, provision of adequate off-street parking and loading space for motor vehicles and safe and convenient traffic access and pedestrian circulation and provision for adequate landscaping, setbacks, control of lighting and other aspects to achieve and maintain harmony with the character of neighboring residential areas.

of the district in which they are situated and adjacent districts.

Where appropriate, the Board of Trustees may require the installation, maintenance and operation by the applicant, at the applicant's expense, of continuous recording instruments to measure the flow of traffic or to demonstrate the operation or effect of operation of any machines or devices used to control or lessen noise, glare, air pollution, water pollution, fire hazards or safety hazards.
