B.
Each and every time that a request is made of the
Commissioner of Public Works, his or her authorized representative
or any other employee or official of the City of Middletown to determine

on the best information available to the Commissioner or his or her
authorized representatives which will, at a minimum, report whether
a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the building or property,
attach a copy of the certificate of occupancy if one has been issued,

such sworn statement is not paid by such owner within 30 days after
correction and/or removal of the prohibited or nonconforming use and/or
the prohibited and/or nonconforming building by the Commissioner of
Public Works or his or her authorized representatives, the sworn statement
of the cost and expense shall constitute a lien on the property for
the amount due and shall be collected at the next regular tax collection
in the manner fixed by law for the collection of taxes and shall bear
the same interest and penalty as taxes. Nothing herein shall prevent
the City from collecting such cost or expense by means of an action
at law or by any other means provided in the Charter of the City of
Middletown or by any other law.
E.
Where the full amount due the City is not paid by such owner within 30 days after correction and/or removal of the prohibited or nonconforming use and/or prohibited and/or nonconforming building, as provided for in Subsections C and D above, then and in that case the Commissioner of Public Works or his or her authorized representatives shall cause to be recorded in the office of the Treasurer a sworn statement showing the cost and expense incurred for the work, the date the work was done and the location of the property on which said work was done. The recordation of such sworn statement shall constitute a lien and privilege on the property and shall remain in full force and effect for the amount due in principal and interest, plus costs of court, if any, for collection until final payment has been made. Said costs and expenses shall be collected in the manner fixed by law for the collection of taxes, and, further, a delinquency penalty of 5% shall be imposed in the event that the same is not paid in full on or before the date the tax bill upon which said charge appears becomes delinquent, together with an annual interest rate of 15% from the date of the work. Sworn statements recorded in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be prima facie evidence that all legal formalities have been complied with and that the work has been done properly and satisfactorily and shall be full notice to every person concerned that the amount of the statement plus interest constitutes a charge against the property designated or described in the statement and that the same is due and collectible as provided by law.

Where a change in zoning is made upon the petition
of any property owner, the Commissioner of Public Works shall, six
months after such amendment is adopted, report to the Common Council
whether or not such change in use has been actually made by the property
owner. If the change in use has not been made by the owner, then the
Council may, by majority vote of its members elected and in office,
adopt an amendment changing the classification to the original use.
In their interpretation and application, the
provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements
adopted for the promotion of the public health, morals, safety or
the general welfare. Whenever the requirements of this chapter are
at variance with the requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules,
regulations or ordinances, the most restrictive, or that imposing
the highest standards, shall govern.
A.
Definition of special use permit. As used in this
section the term "special use permit" shall mean an authorization
of a particular land use which is permitted by this chapter, subject
to the requirements of this chapter to assure that the proposed use
is in harmony with this chapter and will not adversely affect the
neighborhood if such requirements are met.
B.
Approval of special use permits. On application and
after public notice and hearing, the Planning Board may authorize
the issuance by the Commissioner of Public Works of special use permits
for any of the uses subject to authorization and approval of the Planning
Board for which this chapter requires, in the district in which such
use is proposed to be located. In approving any such use, the Planning
Board shall take into consideration the public health, safety and
welfare, and the comfort and convenience of the public in general
and of the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular,
and may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards as may be
required in order that the result of its action may, to the maximum
extent possible, further the expressed intent of this chapter and
the accomplishment of the following objectives in particular:
(1)
All proposed structures, equipment or material shall
be readily accessible for fire and police protection.
(2)
The proposed use shall be of such location, size and
character that, in general, it will be in harmony with the appropriate
and orderly development of the district in which it is proposed to
be situated and will not be detrimental to the orderly development
of adjacent properties in accordance with the zoning classification
of such properties.
(3)
In addition to the above, in the case of any use located
in or directly adjacent to a residential district:
(a)
The location, size and character of such use,
the nature and intensity of operations involved in or conducted in
connection therewith, its site layout and its relation to access streets
shall be such that both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from
the use and the assembly of persons in connection therewith will not
be hazardous or inconvenient to, or incongruous with, said residential
district or conflict with the normal traffic of the neighborhood.
(b)
The location and height of buildings, the location,
nature and height of walls and fences, and the nature and extent of
landscaping on the site shall be such that the use will not hinder
or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land
and buildings.
(c)
The location, size and character of the proposed
use will not unreasonably and adversely affect the enjoyment or value
of the adjacent residential properties.
C.
Enforcement of conditions. Upon the granting of any
special use permit with conditions or restrictions, the Department
of Public Works shall ensure that no permit issue without assurance
that such conditions and/or restrictions have been met or implemented.
D.
Application for area variance. Notwithstanding any
provision of law to the contrary, where a proposed special use permit
contains one or more features which do not comply with the zoning
regulations, application may be made to the Zoning Board of Appeals
for an area variance pursuant to § 81-b of the General City
Law, without the necessity of a decision or determination of an administrative
official charged with the enforcement of this chapter.

within six months and completed within two years of the date of the
granting of a special use permit, such special use permit shall be
null and void.
F.
The granting of any special use permit application
shall be deemed to be a conforming use in the district in which such
use is located, provided that such permit shall be deemed to affect
only the lot or portion thereof for which such permit shall have been
granted.
G.
The Planning Board, in its absolute discretion, may
require that special use permits be periodically renewed. Such renewal
shall be granted following a public notice and hearing and may be
withheld only upon a determination by the Planning Board to the effect
that such conditions as may have been prescribed by the Planning Board
in conjunction with the issuance of the original permit have not been
or are being no longer complied with. In such cases, a period of 62
days shall be granted the applicant for full compliance prior to the
revocation of said permit.
H.
Definition of site plan. As used in this section the term "site plan" shall mean a rendering, drawing, or sketch prepared to specifications and containing necessary elements, as set forth in this chapter, which show the arrangement, layout and design of the proposed use of a single parcel of land (or more than a single parcel, as the case may be) as shown on said plan. Plans showing lots, blocks or sites which are subject to review pursuant to authority provided for the review of subdivisions under § 32 of the General City Law and/or the Middletown City Code shall continue to be subject to such review and shall not be subject to review as site plans under this section.
I.
In all cases where this chapter requires the approval
of site plans, no building permit shall be issued by the Commissioner
of Public Works or his or her representatives except upon authorization
of and in conformity with plans approved by the Planning Board.
J.
Approval of site plans. All site plans must show the arrangement, layout and design of the proposed use of the land on said plan. In approving the plans for a particular use, the Planning Board shall give specific consideration to those general considerations listed in Subsection B of this section, as well as to the following objectives to be shown and addressed on the site plan:
(1)
Traffic access. All proposed traffic accessways are
adequate in width, grade, alignment and visibility, not located too

Landscaping and screening. All parking and service
areas are reasonably screened during all seasons of the year from
the view of adjacent residential lots and streets and the general
landscaping of the site is at the least in character with that generally
prevailing in the neighborhood. To assure an attractive residential
environment, the Planning Board shall ensure that all unutilized lands,
parking areas and service yards are reasonably screened, at all seasons
of the year, from the view of adjacent residential lots and streets
and that the general landscaping of the site is at the least in character
with that generally in the neighborhood. Existing trees over 12 inches
in diameter, measured four feet above the ground, should, to the maximum
extent possible, be preserved.
(4)
Character and appearance. The character and appearance
of the proposed use, buildings and/or outdoor signs, at the least,
will be in general harmony with the character and appearance of the
surrounding neighborhood.
K.
Application for an area variance. Notwithstanding
any provision of law to the contrary, where a proposed site plan contains
one or more features which do not comply with the zoning regulations,
application may be made to the Zoning Board of Appeals for an area
variance pursuant to § 81-b of the General City Law, without
the necessity of a decision or determination of an administrative
official charged with the enforcement of this chapter.
