The total number of individual family dwelling units shall not exceed the number permitted by the minimum lot size and density requirements contained in the current Village Zoning Map for the district or districts in which the site is located. Each structure shall comply with the lot area and building standards of the district or districts in which it is originally located and with all other requirements of this Part
1, except with respect to front, rear and side yard restrictions, and houses may be clustered or attached or semidetached. The side, front and rear yard setbacks of attached or semiattached dwelling units shall also comply with the standards of the district or districts in which the site is located, except as expressly modified by the Board of Trustees when approving the site plan, but if the dwellings are detached, such setbacks may be reduced by not more than 50%.
Construction of dwelling units in a horizontal design, i.e., one over
the other, shall not be permitted.
No building shall have a height of more than 2 1/2 stories above
grade or 35 feet, whichever is less.
No more than six dwelling units may be attached, grouped or clustered
in any one cluster of dwellings, unless expressly permitted by the Board of
Trustees, but in no event shall the number exceed eight.
No more than 25% of the dwelling units may contain more than two bedrooms,
and no dwelling unit shall contain more than three bedrooms. The minimum livable
floor area per dwelling shall be 1,600 square feet.
No structure shall be erected within 60 feet of the property line along a public street. No structure shall be erected within 50 feet of any property line; except, however, where a private dwelling unit or any abutting parcel, no structure shall be erected within 85 feet of any such existing private dwelling unit. The word "structure" shall include any accessory use under Chapter
295, Zoning.
The permitted uses within a CCH District shall be the same as those
otherwise permitted in the zoning district in which it is located, except
that single-family attached or semidetached dwelling units shall also be permitted
in such districts.
Except as otherwise specified herein, all development standards and
controls normally applicable to other residential subdivisions shall also
be applicable to CCH subdivisions:
A. Determination of density. The number of building lots permitted in a CCH subdivision shall in no case exceed the number which could be permitted, in the Planning Board's judgment, if the land were subdivided into lots conforming to all normally applicable requirements of Chapter
295, Zoning, the Westchester County Health Department Regulations and all other applicable requirements. The basis for this determination by the Planning Board shall be a conventional preliminary subdivision plot for the subject property, plus such other information as may be required by said Board.
B. Type and arrangement of buildings. The type of residential
dwelling units permitted within a CCH subdivision shall be, at the discretion
of the Planning Board and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in detached,
semidetached and/or attached buildings. The minimum distance between any two
clustered structures shall be equal to at least the height of the tallest
of such cluster structures.
C. Roads. The Planning Board may modify usual requirements
for widths of roads within the district, provided that adequate provision
is made for fire and emergency equipment.
All self-propelled maintenance equipment, including accessories, shall
be stored in enclosed structures only, which structures shall conform in architectural
theme to the residential buildings of the development.
Visual privacy shall be preserved for residents through the proper design
of rear yards and/or patio spaces. Proper screening through the use of vegetation,
fencing and partially or fully enclosed patios shall be provided.
Audio privacy shall be maintained by requiring proper standards for
solid party walls that will satisfactorily limit sound transmission between
adjoining dwelling units.
A central television antenna system shall be provided for each group
of attached dwelling units.
The applicant for approval of a site plan shall provide all necessary
water and sewer facilities, fire hydrants, storm drainage, highway access,
paved service streets, parking and loading facilities and off-street lighting,
making reasonable provision for utility service connections with adjoining
properties in other ownerships. Wherever possible, all utility lines shall
be underground.
Fully enclosed private garages for passenger automobiles for the exclusive
use of residents of such a development and their guests shall be provided
at a ratio of not less than one garage for every dwelling unit. There shall
also be provided for passenger automobiles for the exclusive use of residents
of such a development and their guests not less than nor more than 1 1/2
additional parking spaces for each dwelling unit, either fully enclosed or
fully open. Carports or partially enclosed garages are prohibited.
Individual private lots, if any, or individual dwelling units under
single ownership (under one deed, whether in the name of one person, husband
and wife and/or child or children as joint tenants or tenants in common, or
any corporation, trust or other entity existing for the benefit of a family
unit) shall not be further subdivided after final subdivision approval.
A minimum of 30% of the land area shall be maintained for open space,
which area shall not include interior roadways, parking areas, private recreation
areas, private open spaces and private courts which abut and service any building.
The perimeter shall maintain a private park or green area except for
such road or roads giving access to the development.
The minimum land area for development shall be not less than six acres
nor more than 10 acres.
Access into all single-family detached dwellings, single-family attached
dwellings, detached group or cluster form shall be at ground level.
Professional and other signs indicating the name of the cluster housing
residential development, traffic directional and other signs shall be approved
by the Planning Board.
A. For a subdivision of single-family dwellings containing
five or more lots, the land upon which such dwellings are to be constructed
shall have an area of not less than six acres.
B. The site shall have street frontage upon a major collector
street to service such development.
Each lot and building thereon shall comply with the lot area, yard and
building standards of the underlying district, except as otherwise modified
herein.
Major culs-de-sac with widened turnarounds shall be designated by the
Planning Board and shall be required to have fifty-foot rights-of-way with
30 feet of pavement leading to turnaround areas with a forty-foot radius,
having a pavement radius of 30 feet. Other culs-de-sac, or street access,
shall be as approved by the Planning Board and shown on the development plan.
A. In an irregularly shaped lot fronting on a cul-de-sac
(or a curved roadway):
(1) The frontage line of the lot shall be defined as a line
which is a minimum of 100 feet in width and parallel to a line drawn tangential
to the cul-de-sac.
(2) The minimum required lot area (10,000 square feet in an R-10 District) must be located behind the front line defined in Subsection
A(1) above.
(3) The minimum front yard setback (30 feet) shall be measured
from the property line on the cul-de-sac.
B. An irregularly shaped lot fronting on a cul-de-sac (or a curved roadway) shall be deemed a buildable lot only if it meets the requirements provided in Subsection
A above.
C. In determining maximum density, an irregularly shaped
lot may be included in the calculation if it has not less than 45 linear feet
measured along the circumference of the cul-de-sac (or curved roadway).
D. All other yard and other requirements of this Part
1 and Chapter
295, Zoning, of the village shall pertain.
The minimum lot frontage, width, depth and yard setback requirements
for each clustered grouping within a clustered residential district shall
be the same as required in the underlying zone district, except that where
a building lot within a conservation subdivision abuts an existing residential
lot complying with conventional lot dimensional standards, any front, side
or rear yards adjoining such property shall comply with the normally applicable
setback requirements of the zoning district in which it is located.
In addition to the requirements of this article, each site plan submitted hereunder shall also comply with all requirements of Article
XII, Site Plan Approval, and Article
XIII, Subdivision Regulations, of Chapter
295, Zoning, except to the extent that either is superseded by this article.
