Subject to the restrictions and limitations
set forth in this article, uses permitted within the floodway channel
district shall be the same as those permitted within the district
through which the Floodway Channel District runs, except, however,
where two different districts adjoin a Floodway Channel District,
the use regulations of the more restrictive district shall apply.
The following restrictions shall apply to all
land within the Floodway Channel District:
A.
Building prohibited. The erection, use or occupancy
of any structure or building within the F-1 District is prohibited.
B.
Obstruction. The obstruction of any stream or streambed is prohibited except as may be authorized by special use permit under Article XIX of this chapter and by permit under New York Environmental Conservation Law.
C.
Dumping. The dumping or draining of any waste, septage,
solid waste, hazardous material, earth, ashes, rubbish, tree trunks,
stumps, rubble, concrete, masonry, garbage, refuse or other trash
is prohibited.
D.
Modification. No stream channel in an F-1 District
shall be channeled through any underground pipe or culvert except
where approved in writing by the Rotterdam Town Engineer and subject
to conditions and restrictions as may be necessary. Every such pipe
or culvert shall be sized, designed, installed and maintained in accordance
with standard water resource engineering practices acceptable to the
Town Engineer.
[Amended 12-9-1992 by L.L. No. 37-1992]
The F-1 Floodway Channel District shall be mapped
as a line on the Zoning Map, the location of which shall be the center
line of the stream. The aerial minimum limit of the F-1 District shall
extend a distance, on each side, of 30 feet from said center line,
except such limit shall in no case be less than the distance to the
top of the bank or ravine edge through which the stream flows. Where
such stream is contained with a pipe, the minimum limit of the district
shall extend to a distance, on each side, of 30 feet of the pipe center
line.
