Chapter 210 Site Plan Review
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Roslyn Harbor 4-5-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2001. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals — See Ch. 52.
Fees and deposits — See Ch. 125.
This chapter shall be known as the "Village of Roslyn Harbor Site Plan Review Law."
The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor (hereinafter the "Board of Trustees") hereby finds that in order to ensure that future land use, development and construction activities within the Village of Roslyn Harbor (hereinafter the "Village") will have a harmonious relationship with the existing or permitted use of contiguous land and with surrounding neighborhoods, and to otherwise promote the health, safety, general welfare, comfort and convenience of the Village and its residents, site plans for new land use, development and construction activities proposed within the Village should be subject to review by the Planning Board acting in the capacity of a site plan review board.
It is, therefore, the intent of the Board of Trustees, and the purpose of this chapter, to establish a procedure for site plan review for new land use, development and construction activities proposed within the Village consistent with and pursuant to § 7-725-a of the Village Law of the State of New York and to authorize the Planning Board to review and provide it with appropriate standards in its review of all site plans for compliance with certain site plan elements, which include, where appropriate, those relating to parking, means of access, traffic, screening, lighting, signs, landscaping, architectural features, location and dimensions of buildings, adjacent land uses and physical features meant to protect adjacent buildings and land uses, as well as any additional site plan elements specified herein.
[Amended 7-9-2015 by L.L. No. 3-2015]
Pursuant to Village Law § 7-725-a, the Planning Board is hereby authorized to review and approve, approve with modifications or disapprove site plans submitted in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth in this chapter.
Upon approval of a site plan, the Planning Board may impose reasonable conditions and restrictions as are related to and incidental to the proposed site plan. Thereupon, such conditions must be met before the issuance of permits by applicable enforcement agencies or officials of the Village.
All new dwellings or other principal structures and principal land uses permitted in any residential district.
All buildings, structures and land uses accessory to a residential land use permitted in any residential district prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the principal building or structure.
All buildings, structures or land uses accessory to a nonresidential land use permitted in any residential district.
Any addition to or reconstruction of all or part of a principal structure which equals or exceeds 50% of the square footage of the gross floor area of the structure as originally constructed or as last modified pursuant to site plan approval or a building permit issued prior to the adoption of this chapter, or equals or exceeds a gross floor area limitation imposed by decision of the Planning Board or any reconstruction of a principal structure damaged by fire or other incident, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure at the time the damage occurred; provided, however, that in the case of a fire or other similar catastrophe destroying more than 50% of a dwelling where reconstruction is proved to the Building Department's satisfaction to be substantially the same as the preexisting dwelling, the dwelling itself shall not be subject to site plan review. As used in this chapter, "gross floor area" shall be calculated in accordance with the definition of that term as set forth in § 275-4 of Chapter 275, Zoning.
Modification to an approved site plan. Except as provided in Subsection D hereof, in the event that a modification is proposed to an approved site plan which has not been issued a certificate of occupancy/completion, an application for site plan review of the modified plan must be made to and approved by the Planning Board before a building permit for the modified plan may be issued.
Minor modification to an approved site plan. An application to amend or modify an approved site plan which has not been issued a certificate of occupancy/completion will not require Planning Board site plan review if, in the unanimous opinion of the Building Inspector and two members of the Planning Board appointed by the Chairman of the Planning Board, including himself, for such purpose, the modification is minor. "Minor modification" is defined as one which does not cause any material change in the overall design, layout or appearance of the site. Upon such determination, a building permit may be issued upon compliance with all other applicable requirements.
Color rendering of principal structure or dwelling.
A title block located in the lower right-hand corner of the site plan and shall include the name and address of the applicant and record owner of the property, the property's designation on the Nassau County Land and Tax Map, and the title of the project. If the applicant or property owner is a corporation, the names and home and business addresses of the president and secretary shall be submitted with the application.
The location of all proposed waterlines, valves and hydrants and all sewer lines or alternative means of water supply or sewage disposal and treatment.
Illustration of all proposed structures as they relate to height/setback requirements.
Delineation of floodplain zone as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and adopted by the Village of Roslyn Harbor.[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 110, Art. XI, Flood Damage Protection.
The location of all existing significant natural features, such as boulders, outcrops, watercourses, depressions, ponds and marshes.
Identification of all required permits or approvals from the Village or any other governmental body and a record of application for and status of such permits or approvals.
List of the names of all owners of property within a two-hundred-foot radius of the subject premises, and if the subject premises is adjacent to a private road, the owners of all other properties adjacent to the private road, together with section, block and lot numbers of said property, as shown on the current tax roll of the Village.
Letter from the Water District regarding availability of water to the site (for new structures only).
All appropriate permit fees, charges and deposits required by the Village pursuant to Article XV of Chapter 275, Zoning.
A stormwater pollution prevention plan consistent with the requirements of Chapter 226 shall be required for site plan approval. The SWPPP shall meet the performance and design criteria and standards in Chapter 226. The approved site plan shall be consistent with the provisions of this chapter
[Added 12-10-2007 by L.L. No. 5-2007]
The Building Department may waive any of the above requirements it determines to be unnecessary for the appropriate review of a particular application, but such waiver shall not be binding upon the Planning Board.
In reviewing any application for site plan approval, the Planning Board shall be guided by the following general and specific considerations, as appropriate and applicable to the application:
The adequacy and arrangement of vehicular access and circulation. All driveways to a public or private street shall be so located to afford maximum safety to said roadway and to provide for safe and convenient ingress and egress and to minimize conflict with the flow of traffic and shall be designed to permit emergency vehicles and service vehicles such as delivery trucks, solid waste collection vehicles and the like to have reasonable access to and space for their intended functions.
The adequacy of stormwater, water supply, sewage disposal, and drainage facilities. Provision shall be made for the drainage of surface runoff waters in and from the premises so that flooding and erosion of the property and the property of others will be prevented.
The adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs and other landscaping and natural screening constitute a visual and/or noise buffer between the applicant's and adjoining lands, including the maximum feasible retention of existing vegetation.
The Planning Board shall not approve a site plan application unless it finds affirmatively that the building or structure, if constructed, erected, reconstructed or altered in accordance with the submitted plan, will not:
Be visually offensive or inappropriate by reason of poor quality of exterior design, monotonous similarity or striking visual discord in relation to the sites or surroundings.
Mar the appearance of the area.
Impair the use, enjoyment and desirability and reduce the value of properties in the area.
Be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood.
The Planning Board shall conduct a public hearing with regard to every application for site plan review within 62 days of the date the application is certified to be complete by the Building Department.
The applicant shall mail notice of the public hearing to the owners of all properties within a radius of 200 feet of the lot lines of the subject premises and, if the subject premises is adjacent to a private road, to the owners of all other properties adjacent to the private road at least 10 days prior to such hearing, and the Village shall cause notice of the public hearing to be published in the official newspaper of the Village at least five days prior to such hearing.
The Planning Board's decision shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk within five business days after such decision is rendered and a copy mailed to the applicant.
Any person aggrieved by a final site plan determination by the Planning Board may apply to the Supreme Court for review by a proceeding under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules. Such proceedings may only be instituted within 30 days after the filing of a decision in the office of the Village Clerk.
Any requirement for the approval or approval with modifications and/or conditions of site plans submitted for approval may be waived by the Planning Board upon a finding that such requirement is not in the interest of the public health, safety or general welfare or is inapplicable or inappropriate to a particular site plan.
The Planning Board may, consistent with this chapter, adopt such further rules and regulations as it deems reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
Where a proposed site plan contains one or more features which do not comply with the bulk and area requirements of Chapter 275, Zoning, of the Village Code, applications may be concurrently made directly to the Zoning Board of Appeals for an area variance, without first obtaining a final decision or determination by the Building Department.
Unless otherwise indicated, all construction, reconstruction, alterations, additions or improvements included in or required by a proposed site plan shall comply with all other applicable statutes, local laws, rules and regulations of the Village and any other governmental entity.
Before the Planning Board may approve a site plan containing residential units, such site plan shall also show, when required by such Board, a park or parks suitably located for playground or other recreational purposes.
Land for park, playground or other recreational purposes may not be required until the Planning Board has made a finding that a proper case exists for requiring that a park or parks be suitably located for playgrounds or other recreational purposes within the Village. Such findings shall include an evaluation of the present and anticipated future needs for park and recreational facilities in the Village based on projected population growth to which the particular site plan will contribute.
In the event the Planning Board makes a finding pursuant to Subsection B of this section that the proposed site plan presents a proper case for requiring a park or parks suitably located for playgrounds or other recreational purposes, but that a suitable park or parks of adequate size to meet the requirements cannot be properly located on such site plan, it may require a sum of money in lieu thereof to be established by the Village Board of Trustees. In making such determination of suitability, the Board shall assess the size and suitability of lands shown on the site plan which could be possible locations for park or recreational facilities, as well as practical factors, including whether there is a need for additional facilities in the immediate neighborhood. Any moneys required by the Planning Board in lieu of land for park, playground or other recreational purposes, pursuant to provisions of this section, shall be deposited into a trust fund to be used by the Village exclusively for park, playground or other recreational purposes, including the acquisition of property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, if the land included in a site plan under review is a portion of a subdivision plat which has been reviewed and approved, the Planning Board shall credit the applicant for any land set aside or money donated in lieu thereof under such subdivision plat approval. In the event of resubdivision of such plat, nothing shall preclude the additional reservation of parkland or money donated in lieu thereof.
For any and every violation of the provisions of this chapter, the owner, general agent or contractor of a building or premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the lessee or tenant of an entire building or entire premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the general agent, architect, builder, contractor or any other person who knowingly commits, takes apart or assists in any such violation or who maintains any building or premises in which such violation shall exist, shall be liable for a penalty as provided in Chapter 1, Article I of this Code. Such penalties shall be collected as provided by law. Each week's continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.
The Planning Board may condition site plan approval upon the applicant's submission to the Village Clerk of a cash deposit, performance bond, or irrevocable letter of credit, in an amount determined by the Planning Board after recommendation from the Village Engineer, which amount shall be sufficient to ensure that all existing landscaping to be preserved as shown on the applicant's plan shall be protected, all landscaping as shown on the approved site plan shall be completed, and to ensure against damage to the infrastructure, including public and private roads and drainage structures.
If public improvements are required, a separate cash deposit, performance bond, or irrevocable letter of credit, in an amount determined by the Planning Board after recommendation from the Village Engineer, which amount shall be sufficient to ensure that all required public improvements shall be completed, shall be provided.
