In order to ensure that proposed development
and use of land within the unincorporated area of the Town of Clarkstown
will have a harmonious relationship with the existing or permitted
use of contiguous land and of adjacent neighborhoods and to ensure
that the health, safety, welfare, comfort and convenience of the public
are fully considered and to assure that necessary provisions are made
for traffic generation, means of access, parking, building placement,
protection of adjoining buildings and uses, screening, recreation,
signs, water supply, storm drainage, sanitary sewers, landscaping
and architectural intent, this chapter is hereby enacted pursuant
to the provisions of § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law,
§ 274-a of the Town Law and the site plan review provisions
in the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Clarkstown.
[Amended 12-13-2018 by L.L. No. 9-2018]
When physical access to a site shall be across
land in another municipality, the Board shall obtain an opinion from
the Clarkstown Town Attorney that such access for all required purposes
is insured by an authorized title insurance company and from the Town
Director of the Department of Engineering and Facilities Management
that such access can be adequately improved. Buildings shall not straddle
municipal boundary lines.
"Redevelopment" shall be defined as any new
construction on a previously developed site, whether or not such site
was subject to site plan approval. For such redevelopment, this chapter
shall apply.
