The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of East Hampton hereby
finds and determines that it is necessary and desirable for the protection,
safety and health of the inhabitants of the Village, and for the protection
of their property, and for the prevention, retardation and extinguishment
of fires in the Village, that fire zones be established in the Village and
that building, construction, alterations and repairs within said fire zones
be prohibited unless they are in compliance with the applicable Building Construction
Code of the State of New York heretofore adopted by this Village as the Building
Code of this Village.
[Amended 7-28-1972]
The Incorporated Village of East Hampton shall have a classification
entitled Fire Zone B, and all lands within the Village shall now be situated
within the fire zone entitled "B," or else shall be lands unclassified as
to fire zone. The term "fire zone" shall be deemed to have the same meaning
as the term "fire limits" used in the Building Construction Code of the State
of New York. Fire Zone B shall comprise the areas containing business or commercial
occupancies, or areas in which such uses are developing, where the fire hazard
is moderate.
No building or structure shall be hereafter erected, reconstructed,
restored, constructed, repaired or structurally altered within such fire zones,
nor shall a building permit be issued, unless there is full compliance with
the provisions and requirements set forth in the applicable Building Construction
Code of the State of New York applying to buildings or structures within such
fire zones, or fire limits as the term is used in said code.
