The purpose of this section is to provide property owners with
greater development opportunities in exchange for concessions or amenities
desired by the Town through the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The Town
Board shall be responsible for approving an incentive development
pursuant to Town Law § 261-b and accepting dedication of
the open space.
A development on at least five acres of land adjacent to the
waterfront and that dedicates 25% of the land to the Town for public
access, and which such area has at least 200 feet of water frontage,
may increase the density of their development to five units per acre
of the entire lot. Minimum lot area shall not apply and setback requirements
may be waived. This incentive is only available for lots that are
served by public sewer.
