[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village
of Bayville 8-30-1976 as L.L. No. 4-1976, effective 8-31-1976. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
It is the intention of the Mayor and the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated
Village of Bayville to adopt a local law known as the "Bayville Freshwater
Protection Law" in order to comply and incorporate the provisions of Article
24 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law. It is expressly intended
by the Mayor and the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Bayville
by this local law to avoid transferring authority with respect to the issuance
of permits and promulgation of regulations regarding activities in freshwater
wetlands and adjacent areas to higher levels of government.
The Village Board may, in order to provide for the general welfare,
safety and protection of its freshwater wetlands, adopt and promulgate specific
regulations with respect to the issuance of permits and the regulation of
activities in its freshwater wetlands and adjacent areas.
This local law shall be deemed implemented upon its adoption, notwithstanding
the fact that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
has not yet filed an appropriate Freshwater Wetlands Map for the Incorporated
Village of Bayville.
The Bayville Freshwater Protection Law is intended to conform and be
consistent with Article 24 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law.
The purpose of the Bayville Freshwater Protection Law is to retain jurisdiction
over the aforesaid freshwater wetlands, and to that end the said law is hereby
declared to be subject to modification and revision.
