[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
In all districts there shall be provided, at the time any building
or structure is erected, enlarged, increased in capacity or changed
in use, improved and usable off-street parking spaces for motor vehicles
in accordance with the requirements of this article and Schedule II. None of the off-street parking facilities, as required
herein, shall be required for any building or use existing at the
time this chapter was adopted, unless said building shall be enlarged
or the use of land changed. In such cases, off-street parking facilities
shall be provided as hereinafter specified for the building as enlarged
or to accommodate the needs of the new use.
A. Design requirements.
(1) Off-street parking space shall be provided as further specified in
this chapter and shall be furnished with necessary passageways and
driveways. For the purposes of this chapter, a parking space shall
not be less than nine feet in width and 20 feet in depth, exclusive
of accessways and driveways.
(2) Off-street parking areas for nonresidential uses shall provide an
additional area of 100 square feet per off-street parking space to
provide sufficient area for access drives and aisles.
(3) Off-street parking areas with a capacity for more than 20 vehicles
shall delineate fire lanes and post "no parking" markers.
(4) All off-street parking areas shall designate handicap-accessible
spaces as required by the New York State Building Code and clearly
mark them for such use. Parking spaces designated to serve handicapped
individuals shall be at least 14 feet in width and 20 feet in depth.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
(5) All off-street parking space shall be deemed to be required space
on the lot on which it is situated and shall not be encroached upon
or reduced in any manner.
(6) All parking areas, passageways and driveways (except where provided
in connection with one- and two-family dwellings) shall be adequately
drained and surfaced with a dustless, durable, all-weather surface,
subject to approval of the Planning Board.
(7) Each off-street parking space shall be so designed, maintained and
regulated that no parking or maneuvering incidental to parking shall
be on any public street, walk or alley and so that any motor vehicle
may be parked and unparked without moving or damaging another.
(8) The collective provision of off-street parking areas by two or more
buildings or uses located on adjacent lots may be approved by the
Planning Board, provided that the total of such facilities shall not
be less than the sum required of the various buildings or uses computed
separately.
(9) No more than two driveways, of not less than 20 feet nor more than
30 feet in width, shall be used as a means of ingress and egress for
each nonresidential use, except where the deviation in the number
of or width of such driveways may be deemed necessary by the Planning
Board because of traffic safety conditions.
(10)
No driveway to an off-street parking area shall be located closer
than 50 feet to the intersection of any two streets or within 20 feet
of any side lot line, provided that sufficient distance will always
remain for all required radii for said driveway. The distance from
the driveway to the intersection shall be measured by extending the
curbline of the intersecting street until it intersects the curbline,
extending if necessary, of the driveway in question. In addition,
a minimum distance of 20 feet shall be maintained between two driveways
located on any one frontage.
(11)
Off-street parking shall not be located in any required front
yard setback areas for nonresidential or multiple-family uses. Off-street
parking may be permitted in rear and side yard areas subject to approval
of the Planning Board. Off-street parking for single- and two-family
dwellings shall be provided on a driveway which provides access to
such residences or a garage which is accessory to such residential
uses.
B. Location of off-street parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities
shall be located as hereinafter specified. Where a distance is specified,
such distance shall be walking distance, measured from the nearest
point of the parking facility, to the nearest public entrance of the
building that such facility is required to serve.
(1) For one- and two-family dwellings and for all types of residential
structures, on the same lot with the building they are required to
serve.
(2) For multiple-family dwellings, not more than 200 feet from the building
they are required to serve.
(3) For other uses, not more than 500 feet from the building they are
required to serve.
C. Screening and landscaping.
(1) Off-street parking areas for more than five vehicles shall be effectively
screened on the rear and side yards by a fence of acceptable design,
unpierced masonry wall, landscaped berm or compact evergreen hedge.
Such fence, wall or hedge shall not be less than six feet in height
and shall be maintained in good condition.
(2) When a parking area for five or more vehicles is within or abuts a residential district, a planted buffer area shall be provided in addition to the fence or wall specified in Subsection
C(1) above. Landscaping utilized to provide this buffer shall not be less than four feet in height at the time of planting and spaced not more than three feet apart. The planted buffer area shall not be less than 10 feet in depth.
D. Lighting.
(1) All off-street parking areas and driveways (excluding areas serving
one- and two-family dwellings) shall be illuminated adequately during
the hours between sunset and sunrise when the use is in operation.
(2) Any lights used to illuminate an off-street parking area shall be
so arranged as to reflect the light away from the street and all adjoining
properties.
E. Units of measurement.
(1) In churches and other places of assembly in which patrons or spectators
occupy benches, bleachers, pews or other similar seating facilities,
each 20 inches of such seating facilities shall be counted as one
seat for the purpose of determining requirements for off-street parking
facilities.
(2) When units of measurement determining the number of required parking
spaces result in the requirement of a fractional space, any fraction
shall require one parking space.
F. Mixed occupancies and uses not specified. In any case of mixed uses,
the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be
the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately.
In the case of a use not specifically mentioned in this section, the
requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be determined
by the Village Board. Off-street parking facilities for one use shall
not be considered as providing required parking facilities for any
other use, except as hereinafter specified for joint use.
G. Joint use. The off-street parking requirements of two or more uses,
structures or parcels of land may be satisfied by the same parking
or loading space used jointly to the extent that it can be shown by
the owners or operators of the uses, structures or parcels that their
operations and parking needs do not overlap in points in time. If
the uses, structures or parcels are under separate ownership, the
right to joint use of the parking space must be evidenced by a deed,
lease, contract or other appropriate written document to establish
the joint use. Said document shall bind the owner, his heirs and assigns
to maintain the required joint uses throughout the life of such uses
and shall be approved by the Village Attorney.
H. Required off-street parking space. The minimum number of off-street
parking spaces for specific uses as regulated in this chapter are
contained in Schedule II, which is part of this chapter.
In order to encourage the sound development of street frontage,
the following special regulations shall apply to all nonresidential
buildings and uses:
A. Each separate use, grouping of attached buildings or groupings of
permitted uses shall not have more than one point of access. Additional
accessways may be approved by the Planning Board based on the need
for such additional access which is supported by a traffic analysis
prepared and submitted by the applicant.
B. The use of common access points by two or more permitted uses shall
be encouraged by the Planning Board in order to reduce the number
and closeness of access points along the streets and to encourage
the fronting of significant traffic-generating uses upon a parallel
access street and not directly upon a primary road. Access points
for industrial uses shall not be less than 24 feet nor more than 40
feet in width. All other access points shall not be less than 20 feet
nor more than 30 feet in width.
Private swimming pools shall be permitted in any residential
district, provided that there is an existing residence on said lot
and the following regulations are complied with:
A. Fences. All swimming pools, as defined in this chapter, shall be
completely enclosed by a fence conforming to the requirements of the
2020 International Residential Code Section R326.1 and 2017 New York
State Uniform Code Supplement Section R326.5.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
B. Setbacks.
(1) Outdoor swimming pools shall be located in the rear or side yards
and shall conform to the minimum setback requirements for a structure
in the district. Aprons and decks which are accessory to a pool shall
not be within the minimum setback area specified in the schedule for
accessory uses.
(2) No swimming pool shall be closer to the street or front lot line
than the front of the building or structure to which the pool is an
accessory use.
C. Drainage. No permit shall be issued for such pool unless the applicant
can show that the proposed drainage of such pool is adequate and will
not interfere with the property of others, with public highways or
area drainage facilities.
D. Water supply. No permit shall be issued for such pool unless the
applicant can demonstrate that there is sufficient water supply to
accommodate such pool without detriment to normal water consumption
requirements and that all proposed water connections are proper and
adequate.
E. Lighting. No lights shall be erected, operated or maintained in connection
with a swimming pool in such a manner as to create an annoyance to
surrounding properties.
F. Overhead wiring. Service drop conductors and any other open overhead
wiring shall not be installed above the swimming pool or an area surrounding
the swimming pool which extends 10 feet horizontally from the pool
edge, diving structures, observation stands, towers or platforms.
Service conductors shall be enclosed in ground fault interrupter boxes
and appropriately grounded.
G. Filtering system. A filtering system shall be installed in all pools
requiring in excess of 1,760 gallons of water to fill an area approximately
10 feet in diameter by 36 inches in depth.
H. Permits. Building and zoning permits shall be required for all swimming
pools having an area greater than 100 square feet or a depth greater
than 18 inches, regardless of whether the pool is above or below ground.
I. Compliance with New York State requirements. Applications for swimming
pool permits shall comply with these regulations and all applicable
requirements of the State of New York. Where the regulations of the
Village and state are inconsistent, the more restrictive requirements
shall govern.
