GENERAL REFERENCES
Parks — See Ch. 109.
A.
The Village is seeking and has commenced a proceeding pursuant to
the Eminent Domain Procedure Law to acquire certain properties for
the purpose of establishing a passive waterfront park along Manhasset
Bay for the benefit of all of the residents of the Village to increase
the level and types of access to public water-related resources, for
such activities as walking along the beachfront, bird watching, photography,
and nature study, as a tranquil and quiet respite from the pressures
of everyday life, and to be a haven for fowl and other wildlife for
that watching, photography, and study.
B.
In order to allow the residents of the Village to enjoy the park
in the manner for which the park was established and to assure that
the use of the park does not interfere with the neighboring residential
properties, it is important to provide certain rules and regulations.
C.
It is the intent of this chapter to establish those rules and regulations
that will maximize the ability of the residents to utilize the park
for the purposes for which it was created, without being disturbed
by loud noise, litter, or other nuisances, and without disturbing
the quietude of neighboring residents.
D.
This chapter is being adopted prior to the vesting of title of the
properties to be obtained by eminent domain so that the rules and
regulations contained herein shall be in effect as of the date the
Village is vested in title to those properties.
