No building shall have a height of more than 2 1/2 stories above
grade or 35 feet, whichever is less.
No more than five dwelling units may be attached, grouped or clustered
in any one cluster of dwellings, unless expressly permitted by the Board of

by L.L. No. 2-1989]
The permitted uses within a CCH-2 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-2 subdivisions:
A. Determination of density. The number of building lots permitted in a CCH-2 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-2 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 one nor more than two
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 (that is, 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 or private courts
that abut and service any building.
The minimum land area for development shall be not less than four 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 and traffic directional and other signs shall be approved
by the Planning Board.
Each lot and building thereon shall comply with the lot area, yard and
building standards of the underlying district, except as otherwise modified
herein.
All culs-de-sac, turnarounds, roadways and street access shall be reviewed
and approved by the Village Engineer and the Planning Board and shall be shown
on the development plan.
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 that complies 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 that property
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.
