as shown on the Town of Clifton Park Zoning Map.
The Town Board may grant the following specific
incentives within the procedures set forth in this article:

increases in single-family dwelling unit density beyond the base density

[Added 9-20-2010 by L.L. No. 7-2010]
Should the project not start construction within 60 months from
the date of the open space incentive zoning approval by the Town Board,
or if construction should start and not be continued without substantial
interruption, then the open space incentive zoning approval for any
additional density will be extinguished and the zoning shall revert
to its existing zoning status as it appeared in the Clifton Park Town
Code on the date of such approved by the Town Board. Any remaining
bond, cash escrow or letter of credit held for the open space incentive
zoning, will be extinguished upon the sunset of the project's open
space incentive approval.
