§  280.  Establishment  or extension of residential or residential and
  recreational areas in the Lake George park. 1.  The  legislature  hereby
  declares  that  the preservation, protection, development and proper use
  of real property in the Lake George park is a matter of interest to  all
  the  people of the state and that it is, accordingly, necessary to enact
  this article as a means of providing for such preservation,  protection,
  development and use.
2.  For  the purposes described in subdivision one of this section and
  for the further purposes of preserving and  developing  the  residential
  and  recreational  facilities of the state for the benefit of the public
  and promoting the health, safety,  morals  or  general  welfare  of  the
  community,  the  village  board  of any village or the town board of any
  town lying wholly or partly within the Lake George park, upon a petition
  as hereinafter provided,  is  hereby  empowered  to  establish  in  such
  village  or  town  by  ordinance  or  local  law,  a  residential  or  a
  residential and recreational area consisting of any area of land therein
  including at least forty acres and lying within the Lake George park, or
  to extend such an area once established, which has not  been  previously
  restricted  to residential or residential and recreational purposes by a
  zoning ordinance or local law enacted pursuant to article seven  of  the
  village  law  or article sixteen of the town law.  Such board is further
  empowered to prohibit, restrict, regulate and control by such  ordinance
  or  local  law, and such ordinances or local laws as thereafter amended,
  the use of all buildings, structures and land within such  an  area  for
  any  industrial  or commercial purpose and to limit by such ordinance or
  local law, and such ordinance or local law as  thereafter  amended,  the
  use of all buildings, structures and land within such an area to use for
  one  or two family residential purposes, or to use for one or two family
  residential and non-profit recreational purposes. Any such ordinance  or
  local  law  shall  not apply to a non-conforming use in existence at the
  time of the effective date of any such ordinance or local law. Any  such
  ordinance  or  local  law  may  provide  that  a violation thereof is an
  offense punishable by a fine  not  to  exceed  one  hundred  dollars  or
  imprisonment  for  not  to  exceed  sixty  days,  or both, and that each
  calendar  week's  continued  violation  shall  constitute   a   separate
  additional  violation.  In the event that a provision of an ordinance or
  local law adopted pursuant to this article conflicts with a provision of
  a zoning ordinance or local law subsequently adopted pursuant to article
  seven of the village law  or  article  sixteen  of  the  town  law,  the
  provision  of  the zoning ordinance or local law so subsequently adopted
  shall govern.
