[Added 6-19-1989 by L.L. No. 2-1989]
The Board of Trustees finds that, pending completion
of the aquatic resources study and the adoption of amendments to the
Village of Freeport's Master Plan, including amendments to the Zoning
Code for the Incorporated Village of Freeport, in order to implement
recommendations resulting from said study, it is necessary for the
good, safety and welfare of the community to adopt a moratorium on
the issuance of building permits for improvements within the affected
areas described hereinbelow. The Board of Trustees is presently awaiting
the completion of an aquatic resources study, to be completed pursuant
to a contract by and between the Incorporated Village of Freeport
and Donham and Sweeney, Inc., of Boston, Massachusetts, and a contract
between the Kearney/Centaur Division of A.T. Kearney, Inc., of Alexandria,
Virginia, pursuant to a grant to the State of New York by the federal
government under Section 306 of the Federal Coastal Zone Management
Act of 1972, as amended. The purpose of said grant and study is to
identify aquatic resources, make recommendations as to their protection,
preservation, enhancement and prudent management and recommend necessary
amendments to the Village's Master Plan in so far as it pertains to
zoning and land use. It is the purpose of this Interim Development
Law No. 2 to stop, for the time period provided herein, all construction
in those areas presently zoned Marine Business District and/or Marine
Industries District, except that which is specifically authorized
by this article. The Board of Trustees finds that, without such interim
prohibition, any proposed amendments to the Master Plan resulting
from said study, including any amendments to the existing Zoning Code,
would be ineffectual if building permits are issued pending adoption
of said amendments.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions to the contrary contained herein in Chapter 86 and except as hereinafter provided in § 86-156 hereof, the Superintendent of Buildings is hereby prohibited from issuing any building permits for improvements within any area zoned Marine Business District and/or Marine Industries District for a period of 120 days following the effective date of this article.
The time period for the prohibition of the issuance of building permits referred to hereinabove at §§ 86-153 and 86-154 shall be in effect for a period of 120 days following the effective date of this article and may be extended by ninety-day increments or less upon resolution by the Board of Trustees up to a period not to exceed 1 1/2 years from the effective date of this article.
The prohibition of the issuance of building permits referred to hereinabove at §§ 86-153, 86-154 and 86-155 shall not apply to the issuance of building permits for structural repairs to existing residential and commercial structures so long as said repairs do not result in an increase in the size of said existing structures. Furthermore, the Superintendent of Buildings may continue to accept or deny applications for permits, with or without modifications, for the construction of an individual detached single-family residence on one building lot, for additions to existing detached single-family residences and for additions to existing commercial nonresidential buildings, provided that said additions shall not exceed 10% of the total square footage of the usable floor area of the existing residential or commercial building.
