[Amended 2-3-1964; 4-8-2005 by L.L. No. 2-2005]
A. Since no business or trade other than agriculture
has ever been carried on within the Village or on lands immediately
adjacent to the Village, and the lands within the Village have been
exclusively devoted to resident uses and there has been no agricultural
use of land within the Village since 1939, and since other localities
without the Village afford convenient opportunities for the carrying
on of trade and business and since introduction of business, including
agriculture, in the Village might seriously affect the health and
would seriously affect the comfort of the residents of the Village
and the values of property therein, the Incorporated Village of Asharoken
is hereby divided into three classes of districts, each of which is
a residence class, and for the purpose of regulating and limiting
the height and bulk of buildings hereafter erected and for the purpose
of regulating and determining the density of population, the area
of yards, courts and other open spaces surrounding the buildings hereafter
erected, such classes of districts are hereby divided into three residence
districts:
|
A
|
Residence Districts
|
|
B
|
Residence Districts
|
|
C
|
Residence Districts
|
B. All agricultural activities involving the growing
or harvesting of agricultural products, including but not limited
to grains, vegetables, fruits, berries, flowers, trees, and shrubs
for commercial purposes, and the operation of nurseries and/or greenhouses
for commercial purposes, shall be prohibited in all such residential
districts.
[Amended 10-3-2006 by L.L. No. 4-2006]
[Amended 2-3-1964; 3-15-1967]
The boundaries of said districts established
by this chapter shall be the boundary line shown on the Zoning Map,
as amended from time to time, which accompanies this chapter and is
hereby declared to be a part of this chapter. The districts designated on said Zoning Map are hereby
established. The district designations which accompany said Zoning
Map and all the legends on such map are hereby declared to be a part
of this chapter. When the location of a district boundary line is
not otherwise determined, it shall be determined by the scale of the
map measured from a given line. Where a district boundary line divides
a lot in a single ownership at the time of the passage of this chapter,
the Board of Appeals, as hereinafter provided, may permit the less
restricted use to extend to the whole or any part of such lot.
No building or premises shall be used and no
building shall be erected or altered for any purpose other than a
purpose permitted in the district wherein the same shall be located,
except in conformity with the regulations herein prescribed for such
district.
