[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Tarrytown 12-19-2012 by L.L. No. 11-2012. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
A.
Findings of fact. On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit the region
causing damage to structures. Structures in the Village of Tarrytown
were damaged due to the hurricane and those structures require repair
which must be processed through the Village's Building Department.
There is currently no mechanism available to the Board of Trustees
to waive the fees normally charged for repair work by the Building
Department for the repair work associated with Hurricane Sandy. The
Board is desirous of creating such a mechanism to waive Building Department
fees.
B.
Legislative intent. The Board of Trustees believes that it is important
to waive the Building Department fees associated with damage caused
by Hurricane Sandy to help to alleviate ongoing costs incurred by
property owners due to the hurricane.
A.
The Board of Trustees does hereby waive all fees charged by the Building
Department and payable to the Village of Tarrytown associated with
repair work to structures in the Village that were damaged by Hurricane
Sandy. Any fees charged and payable to entities other than the Village
of Tarrytown relating to said repair work shall not be waived.
B.
The applicant, submitting an application to the Building Department
for damage-related repair work, shall provide proof sufficient to
the Building Inspector that the damage for which an application is
being submitted was caused by the declared disaster.
Due to the timing required to adopt a local law associated with
the waiver of Building Department fees, the waiver of the Building
Department fees shall be retroactive for damage repairs caused by
Hurricane Sandy.
This chapter shall take effect immediately, as provided by law.
