This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Village of Saugerties
LWRP Consistency Law."
The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the protection and beneficial
use of the natural and man-made resources within the Village of Saugerties
waterfront by ensuring that certain actions proposed by Village agencies will
be undertaken in a manner consistent with the policies and purposes of the
Village's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP).
This chapter is adopted under the authority of the Municipal Home Rule
Law, the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Act and the State Environmental
Quality Review Regulations, as amended.
All agencies of the Village of Saugerties must comply with this chapter
prior to carrying out any action within the waterfront area when such action
is classified as Type I or unlisted under Part 617 of SEQR.
Each Village agency proposing to undertake a Type I action in the waterfront
area shall prepare a WAF and refer the WAF and other pertinent information
for that action to the Waterfront Advisory Board for review and recommendations
regarding the action's consistency with the policies and purposes of
the LWRP. A Village agency proposing to undertake an unlisted action in the
waterfront area may refer the WAF and other pertinent information for that
action to the Board when deemed necessary and appropriate. In either case,
the Board shall complete its review of the proposed action's consistency
and prepare a written recommendation to referring the Village agency within
30 days of the referral date.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon approval of the Village
of Saugerties Local Waterfront Revitalization Program by the New York State
Secretary of State.
