Required site plans shall show all buildings, parking
areas, signs and landscaping at a scale sufficient to permit the study
of all elements of the plan. All utilities shall also be shown and
described. Typical elevations and floor plans of all buildings may
also be required. However, elevations for all signs shall be provided.
In addition, the site plans shall show the adjacent building outlines
and other outstanding features within 200 feet or as required by the
Board. The Planning Board shall follow the same procedures as for
a special permit with the exception that a public hearing is not required
but is optional. The Planning Board shall approve, approve with modification
or disapprove the site plan. In modifying or disapproving any site
plan, the Board shall enter its reasons for such action in its records.
The following shall be used for guides to the Planning Board:
(1) The proposed use, building, design and layout shall meet the provisions of Chapter
120, Zoning, and other regulations and ordinances of the Village of Rouses Point and shall meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The proposed use, design and layout will be of such
a location in such size and character that it will be in harmony with
the appropriate and orderly development of the surrounding area.
(3) The proposed use and layout will be of such a nature
that it will make vehicular or pedestrian traffic no more hazardous
than is normal for the area involved. Factors for the Planning Board
to consider in this determination are the turning movements in relation
to traffic flow, proximity to and relationship to intersections, adequacy
of sight distances, location and access of off-street parking, provisions
for pedestrian traffic and minimization of pedestrian vehicular contacts.
(4) The proposed location and height of buildings or structures,
walls and fences, parking, loaning and landscaping shall be such that
it will not interfere or discourage the appropriate development in
the use of land adjacent to the proposed site, nor unreasonably affect
its value.
(5) Signs shall be in accordance with the regulations
of this Code and, in addition, shall be so designed and located as
not to present a hazard, glare or unattractive appearance to either
adjacent property or to motorists.
