Height, area and bulk requirements for the various
districts shall be as indicated in the chart below, together with
other height, area and bulk requirements contained elsewhere in the
chapter. Refer to the specific district regulations for special conditions
and requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
chapter, no permit shall be issued for any building where any structure
appurtenant thereto, including exhaust stacks, chimneys, cooling towers,
elevator housings, heating or air-conditioning machinery, tanks, cupolas,
steeples or similar projection, is designed to exceed the specified
building height limit for the district by more than twenty-five (25)
feet until the Town Board has reviewed and approved the site and building
plans. Prior to the grant of any such approval, the Town Board shall
determine that such excess height is reasonably necessary to the proper
conduct of the use, that the public health, safety and welfare are
adequately safeguarded and that the character of the neighborhood
is not adversely affected. Prior to the approval of any application
under this section, the Town Board may conduct a public hearing after
due notice and may compel the attendance of witnesses and take sworn
testimony.
