Chapter 43 : Open Space Preservation
This chapter will be known as "The Village of Bayville Open Space Law."
This chapter is to preserve the existing open spaces in the Village of Bayville in order to achieve the stated goal of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP).
The stated goal in Section III of the LWRP of Policy 1 is as follows:
Foster a pattern of development in the Long Island Sound coastal area that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coast location, and minimizes adverse effects of development.
The stated goal in Section IV of the LWRP, 4.3.1, is as follows:
Land acquisition for park development and other uses is one way to achieve many of the goals of the LWRP. Some of the policies and goals that can be accomplished through land acquisition include preservation of open spaces to enhance and maintain community character.
After careful deliberation the Board of Trustees of the Village of Bayville has determined that the maintenance of the Village's existing open spaces is an important community and natural resource which should be preserved and protected for current and future residents of the Village. The Board of Trustees has found that the Village's current Zoning Code does not contain legislation which will accomplish this aim. Under the current Zoning Code significant portions of the Village's open spaces are zoned for various forms of use which may be incompatible with this goal or are unzoned. The Board of Trustees has determined that formally adapting the resolutions and/or local laws is necessary to maintain the open spaces within the Village and to protect the health and safety of the residents of the Village of Bayville.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Bayville finds that it is in the interests of the health, safety and general welfare of the Village to provide for open space in order to implement and accomplish the stated policies and goals of the LWRP.
The Village of Bayville has adopted a floodplain management plan to help protect its residents during flooding conditions and to alleviate flooding problems.[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 27, Flood Damage Prevention.
Those municipally owned open space areas of the Village of Bayville which are undeveloped and have meaningful scenic, ecological, environmental, historic and/or recreational characteristics which enhance the uniqueness of the waterfront aspects of the Village of Bayville which the Board of Trustees intends to preserve in their current condition as open space in perpetuity.
To accomplish the aforesaid goals, the Board of Trustees has determined to amend the Code of the Village of Bayville to add the following to § 80-5, Zoning Map; amendments:[1]
