The Town has reconfigured and renumbered the lots on its tax maps since 1974. We make reference to the original lot numbers in order to avoid confusion. Because of this stipulation, we need not consider whether the 1974 approval was a variance or a permit. As such, we also need not consider the potential legal implications under the ordinance of designating the approval as a variance or a permit. SERF's secure landfills are lined and contain pumps that transport leachate from the base of the landfill to a storage pond, the content of which is transported to wastewater treatment facilities.
Accessory uses and structures.
Thus, insofar as SERF's landfill use is concerned, the 1979 ordinance rewords the prior general description of permitted industrial uses. The 1979 ordinance also subjects all industrial uses to site plan review when a new facility or an expansion is sought. The 1964 ordinance did not contain any prohibition on the expansion of nonconforming uses. In 1995, the Town passed an amendment to this definition. The Town did not apply this definition to Secure III, Phases VI through VIII, apparently because the amendment was only discovered after SERF's site plan application was submitted and because it was not yet incorporated into the published version of the ordinance.
