[Adopted 7-22-1971 by L.L. No. 1-1971]
Before the issuance of a building permit to
any potentially large user of water in the Town, as herein defined,
or before the issuance of a building permit to a potentially large
user of a sewage disposal system, either within or without the Town
sewer districts, a review of the matter of water use or sewage disposal,
or both, may be required by the Town Board, in which case no building
permit shall issue until the Town Board has given its approval. No
such Town Board approval shall be required where it is clear that
the water supply and sewage disposal systems are entirely adequate,
but in any case where the Supervisor or Building Inspector or Commissioner
of Public Works shall, in his judgment, deem the adequacy of water
supply and sewage disposal to be questionable and shall so certify
to the Town Board, then the Town Board must review the matter and
either approve or disapprove within 60 days.
For the purpose of this article, the terms used
herein are defined as follows:
Any townhouse development, apartment house, mobile home court, industrial or commercial establishment or any other potentially large user as determined by any of the officials mentioned in § 82-24.
In making its determination, the Town Board
may require that studies be made, employing professional assistance,
and if such studies are ordered, then the time within which the Board
must render its decision may, in the discretion of the Board, be extended
for a further period of 60 days. The Town Board, in its discretion,
may order a public hearing in the matter and at such hearing may compel
the attendance of witnesses by subpoena and may require that sworn
testimony be taken.
When later circumstances shall warrant, the
Town Board, in its discretion, may review any prior decision which
refused issuance of a building permit.
The Town Board may determine as to any proposed
building project located outside of the Town water and sewer districts
that it is in the best interests of the public to require that the
proposed building project connect into either a public water system
or a public sewer system, or both, and may make such connection or
connections a condition to the granting of a building permit.
