Regulations governing lot area and lot width,
front, side and rear yards, building coverage and building height
are specified in Schedule A and in the additional regulations of this
article and are supplemented by the regulations of other sections
of this chapter. Schedule A accompanies and, with all explanatory
matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Schedule A is included as an attachment to this chapter.
A.
Existing lots of record. A single-family structure
may be constructed on any lot of record filed in the County Clerk's
office in any residence district even if said lot has less than the
minimum area required for building lots in the district in which it
is located, subject to the following conditions:
(1)
Adjoining vacant land. The owner of said lot owns
no adjoining vacant land which would create a conforming lot if combined
with the lot which is deficient in area.
(2)
Side yards. Any structure erected on a nonconforming
lot shall have a minimum side yard of three feet or a minimum side
yard of 10 feet adjacent to a side street lot line.
(3)
Front and rear yards. Any structure erected on a nonconforming
lot shall have front and rear yards conforming to the minimum required
for the residence district in which said lot is located, except as
said lot may meet the conditions set forth in this section of this
chapter.
B.
Lot width. The minimum width of any lot shall be measured
along the minimum building setback line required for the district
in which it is located.
C.
Reduction of lot area. The minimum yards and open
spaces, including lot area per family, required by this chapter shall
not be encroached upon or consider as yard or open space requirements
for any other building, nor shall any lot be reduced below the district
requirements of this chapter.
D.
Number of dwellings on lot. Two permanent residential
structures on one lot, other than group housing, shall be prohibited
unless lot area and yard requirements are met for each dwelling, including
required street frontage.
E.
Through lots. Where a single lot under individual
ownership extends from one street to another parallel or nearly parallel
street or alley, the wider street shall be deemed the street upon
which the property fronts, and no principal structures and no dwelling
shall be erected on the rear of such a lot, except where such lot
may be subdivided to create not fewer than two conforming lots. Where
a single lot extends between two streets of equal width, either of
the two streets may be deemed as that upon which the property fronts.
The building height shall be measured from the grade of the street
on which the building fronts.
F.
Visibility at street corners. On a corner lot in any
district where a front yard is required, no fence, wall, hedge or
other structure or planting more than 2 1/2 feet above the finished
grade on the street center line shall be erected, placed or maintained
so as to obstruct visibility of vehicular traffic within the triangular
area formed by the intersecting street right-of-way lines and a straight
line joining said lines at points 30 feet distant from the point of
intersection, measured along said lines.
G.
Front yard exception. When a vacant lot is situated
between two improved lots, each having a principal building within
25 feet of any side lot line of such unimproved lot, the front yard
of the vacant lot may be reduced to a depth equal to the greater of
the depths of the front yards of the two adjoining improved lots,
but not less than 10 feet.
H.
Transition yard requirements.
(1)
Where a residential district abuts a nonresidential
district at a street line, there shall be provided in the nonresidential
district, for a distance of 50 feet from the district boundary line,
a front yard at least equal in depth to that required in the residential
district.
(2)
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in one
ownership at the time of adoption of said district line, the regulations
for the more restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more
than 50 feet into the less restricted portion, provided that the lot
has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.
(3)
Where the side or rear yard in a residential district
abuts a side or rear yard in a nonresidential district, there shall
be provided along such abutting line or lines in the nonresidential
district a side or rear yard at least equal in depth to that required
in the residential district. In no case, however, shall the abutting
side yard be less than 10 feet and the abutting rear yard less than
20 feet.
I.
Projections into required yards.
(1)
The space in any required yard shall be open and unobstructed
except for accessory buildings in a side or rear yard and except for
the ordinary projections of windowsills, belt courses, cornices, eaves
and other architectural features; provided, however, that such features
shall not project more than two feet into any required yard.
(2)
A paved terrace shall not be considered as part of
a building in the determination of yard sizes or lot coverage, provided
that such terrace is unroofed and without walls, parapets or other
form of enclosures exceeding four feet in height.
(3)
In determining the percentage of building coverage
or the size of yards for the purpose of this chapter, roofed or enclosed
porches shall be considered a part of the building.
(4)
An open fire escape may extend into any required yard
not more than six feet, provided that such fire escape shall not be
closer than four feet at any point to any lot line.
(5)
Unenclosed entrance steps or stairways providing access
to the first story of a building may extend into any required yard
a distance not to exceed six feet.
K.
Side yards.
(1)
Side yard width may be varied. Where the side wall
of a building is not parallel with the side lot line or is broken
or otherwise irregular, the side yard may be varied. In such case,
the average width of the side yard shall not be less than the otherwise
required minimum width; provided, however, that such side yard shall
not be narrower at any one point than one-half the otherwise required
minimum width.
(2)
Width of one side yard may be reduced. When authorized
as a variance by the Board of Appeals, the width of one side yard
may be reduced to a width of not less than five feet, provided that
the sum of the widths of the two side yards is not less than the required
minimum for both side yards, and further provided that the distance
between the proposed structure and any structure existing or proposed
on an adjacent lot is not less than the required minimum sum of the
widths of the two side yards. Such reduction may be authorized only
when the Board of Appeals finds it to be warranted by the location
of existing buildings or conducive to the desirable development of
two or more lots.
A.
General application. No building or structure shall
have a greater number of stories nor have an aggregate height of a
greater number of feet than is permitted in the district in which
such building or structure is located, except as noted elsewhere in
this chapter.
B.
Chimneys, spires, etc. The height limitations of this
chapter shall not apply to belfries, church spires, cupolas, penthouses
and domes which are not used for human occupancy, nor to chimneys,
ventilators, skylights, water tanks and necessary mechanical appurtenances
usually carried above the roof level nor to flagpoles, monuments,
transmission towers and cables, radio and television antennas or towers
and similar structures. Such features, however, shall be erected only
to such height as is necessary to accomplish the purpose for which
they are intended. No advertising device of any kind whatsoever shall
be inscribed upon or attached to that part of any chimney, tower,
tank or other structure which extends above the height limitations.
C.
Permitted exceptions to height regulations. Schools,
public buildings and institutions may be erected to a height not exceeding
85 feet in any district in which they are permitted, provided that
front, side and rear yards are increased in width one foot for each
foot of height that the building exceeds the height regulations of
the district in which it is located.
A.
Number.
(1)
On any lot intended or used for residential purposes,
one accessory building, in addition to a private garage, such as a

(10)
It is the property owner's responsibility to locate the fence location
on their property and not to encroach on a neighbor's property.
[Added 10-4-2022 by L.L. No. 2-2022]
B.
Screening regulations.
(1)
Enclosed uses. For any use required by this chapter to be screened
in accordance with this section, the owner shall provide a fence,
screen or landscaping sufficient to obscure such use from view from
abutting properties in residence districts or from the public right-of-way.
(2)
Unenclosed uses. Any commercial or industrial use which is not conducted
within a completely enclosed building, including, but not limited
to, junkyards, storage yards and used building materials yards, and
which use is in, abuts or is adjacent to a residence district or fronts
on a public right-of-way shall be screened from view from such residence
districts and public rights-of-way in an effective manner.
(3)
Approval by the Zoning Board. Plans and site designs for the installation
of such fencing or screening as is required by this chapter shall
be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Board prior to issuance of
a building permit. Any fencing or screening in accordance with this
section shall be maintained in good order to achieve the objectives
of this section. Failure to maintain fencing, screening or plant material
shall be considered a violation of this chapter.
A private outdoor swimming pool shall be permitted
as an accessory use to a dwelling unit only in accordance with the
following regulations:
A.
Such pool shall be accessory to a principal residential
use and shall be erected only on the same lot as the principal structure.
B.
Such pool may be erected or constructed only in the side or rear yard of the lot and shall conform to the yard requirements set forth in § 135-19C of this chapter.
[Amended 9-4-2012 by L.L. No. 4-2012]
C.
Refer to the New York State 2017 supplement to the
2015 International Property Maintenance Code, Section 303.
[Amended 3-5-1991 by L.L. No. 1-1991;
at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
D.
Such pool shall be adequately screened or otherwise
situated so as not to be obtrusive from the public right-of-way or
to present a nuisance to any adjoining use.
E.
Such pool shall not adversely affect the character
of any residential neighborhood, and all lighting or other appurtenances
shall be so arranged as not to interfere with neighboring uses.
F.
In addition, a swimming pool to be constructed or
installed as an accessory use to a motel, tourist or like accommodation
or as part of any commercial or club facility shall be permitted after
application to and issuance of a permit therefor by the enforcement
officer. Such swimming pool shall be so located as not to cause a
hazard or nuisance and shall be designed and located in accord with
acceptable engineering standards and any applicable county or state
requirements.
G.
In respect to the maintenance for the regular use
as a swimming pool and the fence, it shall be required that the fence
shall be of sturdy construction and shall be maintained in a sturdy
workmanlike construction with all fence posts and other materials
to be sound and all posts to be securely placed into the ground. In
the event that the pool is not being used during any time of the year,
it shall have a proper cover manufactured by a swimming pool manufacturer
and shall be securely tied down at all times. The intent of this section
is to ensure that if a pool is used seasonally, it should be fully
covered the balance of the year, and the intent is also that if a
pool is not being used seasonally, it shall be covered throughout
the year. Pools that do not continue to meet the standards of the
New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and become
in disrepair shall be properly closed and filled in with the proper
material to fully protect the public and to keep from being unsightly
or a health hazard due to the lack of insect control or other health
reasons.
[Added 3-5-1991 by L.L. No. 1-1991]
H.
Upon written specific notice by certified mail, the
Village may require existing pool owners to also abide by these rules
and regulations throughout this section. This section shall provide
that the Village, through its Zoning Enforcement Officer, will inspect
all existing swimming pools of an outdoor nature, either aboveground
or below-ground, and shall make specific recommendations pursuant
to this section to the property owner; but if the Zoning Enforcement
Officer feels that an existing pool satisfies the clear intent of
this section, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall be able to approve
the existing pool for continued occupancy and use even though various
pools may differ somewhat in their present construction or state of
repair. The intent of this section is to make sure that all pools
comply with a safe standard for use and occupancy but at the same
time to give the Zoning Enforcement Officer the discretion to approve
pools he believes to be safe for the use of the homeowner and the
homeowner's invited guests, provided that they basically conform to
this chapter. In the event that, after being issued a violation notice,
the owner does not agree, the owner may appeal to the Zoning Board
of Appeals for an appropriate variance pursuant to law.
