B. Provision for Official Zoning Map. The aforesaid districts
are designated by symbols and the location and boundaries of said
districts are shown on the Official Zoning Map, which, together with
all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and
declared to be part of this chapter. If, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
changes are made in district boundaries or other matters portrayed
on the Official Zoning Map, such changes shall be entered on the Official
Zoning Map after the amendment has been adopted by the Town Board.
The regulations set by this chapter within each
district shall be minimum regulations and shall apply uniformly to
each class or kind of structure or land therein, and, except as otherwise
provided in this chapter:
A. No building, structure or land shall hereafter be
used or occupied, and no building, structure or part thereof shall
hereafter be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally
altered, except as permitted in the district in conformity with all
of the regulations herein specified.
B. No building or other structure shall hereafter be
erected, moved or altered which exceeds the height or bulk requirements,
fails to meet minimum square footage requirements, accommodates or
houses a greater number of families, occupies a greater part of the
lot area or has smaller side, rear or front yards or other open spaces
than herein permitted or required.
C. No part of a yard or other open space or off-street
parking, loading or stacking space required about or in connection
with any structure for the purpose of complying with this chapter
shall be included as part of a yard, open space or off-street parking,
loading or stacking space required for any other structure.
D. No yard or lot existing at the time of passage of
this chapter shall be reduced in dimension or area below the minimum
requirements set forth herein. Yards or lots created after the effective
date of this chapter shall meet at least the minimum requirements
established by this chapter.
E. No required yard shall be alienated from that portion
of the lot on which a structure is located.
Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of
districts, the following rules shall apply for the purpose of this
chapter:
A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the
center lines of streets or highways shall be construed to follow such
center lines.
B. Boundaries indicated as approximately following existing
lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
C. Boundaries indicated as approximately following Town
boundaries shall be construed as following such boundaries.
D. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall
be construed to be midway between main tracks.
E. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the
edge of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall
be construed as following the center lines thereof.
F. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in Subsections
A through
E above shall be construed pursuant to those provisions.
G. Where physical or cultural features existing on the
ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map
or in other circumstances not covered above, the Board of Appeals
shall interpret the district boundaries.
H. Where district boundary lines established upon the
adoption of this chapter divide a lot which was in single ownership
at that time, the Board of Appeals may permit the extension of the
regulations of the lower use district into the other district if it
finds, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Board, that
such an extension and the resulting use are consistent with the intent
of this chapter and the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
