[Added 3-5-2007 by L.L. No. 6-2007]
A.
In order to further the goal of the protection of
Malta's watershed areas, as well as to preserve the scenic character
and water quality of Malta's streams, and to reduce the risk of damage
due to flooding, there shall be a buffer of 100 feet on each side
of any NY State Department of Environmental Conservation classified
stream, Class D or higher, and a buffer of 50 feet on each side of
any unclassified perennial stream. Cutting of trees and other vegetation
within stream buffers is prohibited, except as provided below.
B.
Except as otherwise specifically provided, buffers
shall be measured from the mean high water mark of the stream on each
side of the stream.
C.
No soil disturbance will be permitted, nor will a
building permit be issued wtih respect to property lying within the
stream buffer.
D.
There shall be no septic systems, permanent structures
or impervious cover within the stream buffer.
E.
The use of chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides,
is prohibited within any buffer.
F.
The only allowable uses within a buffer shall be:
(1)
Utility rights-of-way;
(2)
Biking or hiking paths;
(3)
Limited tree clearing. No more than 1/3 of the crown
canopy may be cut over any ten-year period, with the exception of
the removal of diseased, rotten, or damaged vegetation, or of other
vegetation that presents safety or health hazards. All cutting of
vegetation shall be approved by the Town's Code Enforcement Officer
prior to such cutting.
G.
Topography can greatly influence both the volumes
and velocities of runoff. Steep slopes increase runoff velocity, and
long slopes increase runoff volume. These conditions increase the
potential for erosion to occur. There shall be no construction, disturbance
of soil, cutting or development, on slopes with a grade in excess
of 15%.
[Added 7-7-2014 by L.L.
No. 4-2014]
A.
Purpose.
In the course of development, it may be necessary to site utility
facilities on lots separately created for this sole purpose. Strict
application of zoning limitations may inadvertently hamper or even
prevent utility placement on separately created lots. For example,
a utility lot may not be directly contiguous to a public roadway;
it may not meet minimum lot size, frontage, setback or minimum lot
coverage requirements. It is the Town's intention to allow creation
of otherwise substandard lots for utility facility placement when
devoted to facilitating development of surrounding or contiguous lands.
B.
INTEGRATED SUPPLY NETWORK
UTILITY
UTILITY LOT
Definitions.
As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
A network intended to supply utilities or other supplies
or services where the individual delivery is united with a larger
coordinated system.
Infrastructure for the distribution of gas, electricity,
water, information, or discharge of stormwater or sewage, for a specific
residential subdivision or planned development district, delivered
by an integrated supply network. "Utility" shall not include water
towers, cell towers, power transmission lines, outdoor generation,
photovoltaic arrays, substations, pipelines, satellite dishes, microwave
dishes and conversion stations.
A lot created within the Town soles for the placement of
utility facilities.
C.
The creation of a utility lot is subject to Town Planning Board subdivision review authority pursuant to Chapter 143 of the Malta Town Code.
D.
In all zoning districts of the Town currently existing or hereinafter created, including all planned development districts, in which utility use is not an allowed use, it shall be a permitted use and will be subject to Town Planning Board special use permit review authority pursuant to Town Code § 167-38.1.
E.
Utility
lots are not subject to any dimensional limitations otherwise established
by this chapter, including maximum lot coverage limitations, minimum
lot size requirements, minimum setback requirements and minimum road
frontage requirements. The sufficiency and/or suitability of the lot
for its intended purpose will be considered by the Planning Board
during special use permit review.
