For construction on regulated slopelands the following shall
be filed with the Village:
A. A current, up-to-date topographical survey of the property, showing
existing contours with vertical intervals of no greater than two feet;
the location and boundaries of any slopelands clearly labeled as moderate
slope, steep slope, very steep slope, or extremely steep slope; the
location of all existing buildings, structures, driveways and utilities
serving the property; existing easements and rights-of-way; the present
use of land and structures; the specific type, size and location of
trees with a circumference of 18 or more inches measured at a height
four feet above ground level; and any other existing features or characteristics
of the land which are required by the Building Inspector and Village
Engineer.
B. A plan showing all proposed construction and the disturbance of any
portion of the site, including building and driveway locations, parking
areas, landscaping, grading, drainage, utilities and other planned
site uses or improvements contemplated by the applicant.
C. Specific design and construction procedures to be followed which
will mitigate the potential impact of the proposed site development
on the slopelands both during and after construction. This shall include,
but not be limited to, location and type of construction and material
to be used, erosion control measures, site restoration, plantings,
and all other appropriate safeguards and precautions the Building
Inspector and Village Engineer deem necessary.
D. The application fee and deposit, in an amount to be determined by
resolution of the Board of Trustees, shall be deposited with the Village
Clerk. For application for work that had been started or completed
without the required approval, the application fee shall be tripled.
The applicant shall be responsible for the reimbursement of Village
expenses incurred, including but not limited to engineering, legal
and hearing charges, as established by resolution of the Board of
Trustees.
In reviewing construction on regulated slopelands, the following
guidelines and standards shall be considered and applied:
A. Whether the proposed construction and the location for the requested
activity on the lot are appropriate, taking into consideration the
slopelands, lot shape, required setbacks, topography and other lot
features, and impact on the surrounding properties.
B. The activity or construction proposed is the minimum necessary for
the applicant's reasonable use and enjoyment of the land and is in
keeping with the character of the surrounding properties and the Village.
C. Construction standards and precautions for approved construction
are to be strictly adhered to. The installation and maintenance of
erosion control measures, retaining walls to limit site disturbance
and tree and vegetation protection, and other mitigation measures
are priority actions that must be promptly implemented and thereafter
maintained.
D. The applicant is required to be in compliance with all other applicable
requirements of the Village, town, county, state and federal agencies,
including stormwater management. The Village may withhold approval
until all other approvals are obtained.
