Chapter 73 : Farming
[Adopted 12-5-1996 as L.L. No. 1-1996]
The Town Board of the Town of Corinth finds that farming is an essential activity within the Town of Corinth.
Farming, as defined herein, reinforces the special quality of life enjoyed by citizens, provides the visual benefit of open space and generates economic benefits and social well-being within the community. Therefore, the Town of Corinth emphasizes to newcomers that this town encourages its agriculture and requests newcomers to be understanding of the necessary day-to-day operations.
It is the general purpose and intent of this article to maintain and preserve the rural tradition and character of the Town of Corinth to permit the continuation of agricultural practices, to protect the existence and operation of farms and to encourage the initiation and expansion of farms and agricultural businesses.
Includes all activities conducted on a farm, necessary to the operation of a farm.
Includes livestock, dairy, poultry, furbearing animal, aquaculture, fruit, vegetable and field crop farms, plantations, orchards, nurseries, greenhouses or other similar operations used primarily for the raising of agricultural or horticultural commodities.
Farmers, as well as those employed, retained or otherwise authorized to act on behalf of farmers may lawfully engage in farming practices within the Town of Corinth at any and all such times and all such locations as are reasonably necessary to conduct the business of farming. For any activity or operation, in determining the reasonableness of the time, place and methodology of such operation, due weight and consideration shall be given to both traditional customs and procedures in the farming industry as well as to advances resulting from increased knowledge and improved technologies.
The following notice shall be included in building permits and on plats of subdivisions submitted for approval pursuant to Town Law § 276 or Village Law § 7-728:
This property may border a farm, as defined in § 73-2 of Chapter 73, Farming, of the Code of the Town of Corinth. Residents should be aware that farmers have the right to undertake farm practices which may generate dust, odor, smoke, noise and vibration.
