[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Incorporated Village of Bayville 8-30-1976 by L.L. No. 4-1976.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law provided an effective date of
8-31-1976.
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 chapter 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 chapter 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.
