Only one addition to a building or structure may be erected without site plan approval as provided in this section. With respect to a second or further addition, site plan approval shall be required as provided in this chapter. This limitation shall apply regardless of whether the applicant or his predecessor in title made application for the building permit for the first addition.
The Board shall study the application of this chapter and shall from time to time recommend to the Village Board such changes in the chapter and in the boundaries of the various districts as it shall deem desirable in the public interest and in conformity and consistent with the Village Master Plan, its intent, aims and purposes.
