The following supplementary regulations are
applicable to all land use districts within the Town of Corinth.
In all districts at the time any new building
or structure is erected, any existing building or structure enlarged,
or new or changed use of land or structure established, off-street
parking shall be provided in accordance with the minimum standards
set forth below. These parking spaces shall be satisfactorily maintained
by the owner of the property for each building which, after the date
this chapter becomes effective, is erected, enlarged, or altered for
any use for any of the following purposes. All parking spaces provided
pursuant to this section shall be on the same lot with the building
unless otherwise approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Board
may require additional off-street parking spaces for any use if it
finds that the minimum standards are not sufficient.
A. Required spaces.
(1) Off-street parking space shall be required for all
buildings and land uses established after the adoption of this chapter.
(2) Two off-street spaces per residential dwelling unit
shall be required.
(3) Upon consideration of the project's type and size,
the Planning Board shall determine the number of off-street spaces
required. Where applicable, the Planning Board will encourage the
use of shared parking spaces for commercial uses, shared access to
lots and interconnected parking lots. Also, the use of gravel, porous
pavers and grass parking may be recommended as suitable alternatives
to limit the amount of impervious surfaces.
B. Design standards. The Planning Board shall determine
the design of all off-street parking upon consideration of the project's
location, type and size.
All manufactured housing/mobile homes placed
in the Town following the effective date of this chapter shall comply
with this chapter and all applicable provisions of the Manufacturing
Home Construction and Safety Standards, Part 3280, or the HUD Code,
as applicable.
Notwithstanding the limitations imposed by any
other provision of this chapter, any substandard lot which exists
at the time of enactment of this chapter can be built upon. The minimum
setback requirements shall be reduced in proportion to the size of
the lot as compared to the minimum required for the district.
Notwithstanding the use permitted in any district,
the following regulations shall apply to the keeping of animals in
any district for non-farm uses. The purpose of this clause is to reduce
odors and minimize wastes on property.
A. In the absence of a special use permit and site plan
approval as specified in this chapter, the keeping of large animals,
such as horses, ponies, cattle, goats, pigs, sheep, etc., shall require
at least one acre of open space for each animal unless contiguous
open space in excess of 10 acres is used for such maintenance, in
which event this requirement shall be inapplicable.
B. The Planning Board may issue a special use permit
for the keeping of animals upon lots containing less than the minimum
area set forth above, subject to site plan approval, provided that
the applicant shall meet all conditions and satisfy the criteria applicable,
and provided further that the Planning Board shall find that adequate
open space and facilities for the proper care of such animals are
available and will be established and that the keeping of such animals
will not interfere with the reasonable use and enjoyment of the property
of others. For the keeping of animals by pursuits such as 4-H Club,
FFA, or other agriculturally related clubs, minors under the age of
19 will be exempt from paying a fee for this permit.
C. Pasture/fence line shall be a minimum of 30 feet from
any property line and a minimum of 50 feet from any existing well.
(NOTE: This standard is for smaller lots adjacent to residential buildings.
For larger lots in more rural areas, this standard may be deviated
from.)
D. Manure storage shall be located a minimum of 100 feet
from any property line or a minimum of 200 feet from a property line
upgradient from an existing well.
E. The owner shall submit a waste management plan that
addresses the amount of waste generated on a weekly basis, the manner
and location of waste storage facilities, and the timing and manner
of waste disposal.
F. Upon the death of the animal, property owners who
are exempt from this regulation due to ownership prior to the Land
Use Law are not subjected to a time limit to replace the animal. Animal
owners are required to file a no-fee registration with the Building
Inspector to ensure they will be guaranteed this right.
G. Temporary keeping of animals, such as boarding of
animals, is subject to the same conditions.
