As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
SITE PLAN
A rendering, drawing or sketch prepared to specifications and containing the necessary elements, as set forth below, which shows the arrangement, layout and design of the proposed use of a single parcel of land as shown on said site plan. Plats showing lots, blocks or sites which are subject to review pursuant to authority provided for review of subdivisions under § 7-728 of the Village Law and Article
V of this Part
1 of the Village Code shall continue to be subject to such review and shall not be subject to review as "site plans" under this article.
During this review stage, the Board, as lead
agency, will, upon receipt of the application, distribute all or parts
of the submission to the various identified involved agencies and
interested parties requesting a determination of completeness of information
submitted or identification of incomplete information and/or additional
information required. Within 60 days of receipt of the initial application,
the Board will issue to the applicant its formal written completeness
determination. Said determination will provide the applicant with
the Board's response that either the application has been deemed complete
or that the application has been deemed incomplete, citing specific
deficiencies and, as the case may be, additional information required.
This cycle may be repeated until the applicant has provided the Board
with the specific information required in satisfactory form and format
for the issuance of the Board's completeness determination which shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to
the contrary, where a proposed site plan does not comply with the
applicable zoning regulations, application may be made to the Zoning
Board of Appeals for variance without the necessity of a decision
or determination by the Board or of another administrative official
charged with enforcement of the Village's zoning regulations.
In addition to any other requirements and conditions
that must be satisfied for issuance of a building permit by the Village
Building Inspector, the issuance of a building permit is hereby conditioned
on the Village's coordinated site plan approval of the Board. The
Board is hereby authorized to adopt such rules and regulations as
it deems necessary, consistent with the provisions herein, to exercise
the powers hereby granted.
The Board shall fix a time for a public hearing
within 60 days from the date that the Board deems a complete application
for site plan approval is filed. Notice of hearing shall be provided
to the applicant or a designated representative, involved agencies
and interested parties, by mailing at least 10 days prior to the scheduled
hearing. The Board shall also provide public notice of such hearing.
The Board shall make its determination on the application within 60
days from the date of the hearing. The time within which the Board
must render its decision may be extended by mutual consent of the
applicant and the Board.
At least 30 days before any public hearing,
the Board shall mail notices thereof to the County Planning Agency,
as required by § 239-m of the General Municipal Law, which
notice shall be accompanied by a full statement of the matter under
consideration, as defined in Subdivision 1 of § 239-m of
the General Municipal Law.
The Board shall comply with the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing regulations as codified in 6 NYCRR Part 617, as well as Chapter
81, Environmental Quality Review, of the Village Code. The Board is hereby designated as the lead agency on any application filed pursuant to these provisions.
[Amended 4-15-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015]
The decision of the Board shall be filed by
the Board Secretary with the Village Clerk, with copies to the applicant,

88 of the Village Code.
[Added 2-15-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
If any part or provision of this chapter or
the application thereof to any person or circumstance be adjudged
invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall
be confined in its operation to the part or provision or application
directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall
have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of
the remainder of this chapter or the application thereof to other
persons or circumstances, and the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated
Village of Head-of-the-Harbor hereby declares that it would have passed
this chapter or the remainder thereof had such invalid application
or invalid provision been apparent.
