The purpose of this section, in coordination with the contiguous neighboring Town of Hempstead ("Town") and Village of Woodsburgh, is to regulate development in the environmentally sensitive coastal areas that span the municipal boundaries of the Village and the contiguous Town and Village of Woodsburgh, including the area occupied by the Woodmere Club, allowing for the enhanced preservation and protection of the Village's and neighboring Town and Village of Woodsburgh's environmental, coastal, open space, natural and cultural resources and the preservation of the residential neighborhoods, both within the Village, the Village of Woodsburgh and the unincorporated areas of the Town, in and about the former Woodmere Club.

In the low-lying southern coastal areas of the Village and the adjacent contiguous Town and Village there are located golf courses that have been in place for more than a century, which open spaces provide not only recreation but a natural mitigation against adverse impacts on the environment and, therefore, the well-being and safety of the entire region.

Climate change is becoming the defining environmental issue of our time, particularly for vulnerable, low-lying coastal areas. This change has taken shape already, in the form of more frequent and intense storms, sea level rise and extreme flooding. It is no longer a future endeavor, but rather a sound planning imperative that the Village, the Town and the Village of Woodsburgh, immediately address ongoing and future conditions, including greater risks of flooding presented by sea level rise and enhanced storm surge, inland flooding expected to result from increasingly frequent extreme precipitation events and the increased risk of compound flooding, resulting from simultaneous storm surge and heavy precipitation. Through proper and coordinated regulation, the Village intends to do its part in preserving the health, safety, and well-being of residents in the area of the Woodmere Club and the surrounding community.

Along the coast, and particularly in low-lying coastal areas, it is imperative that the Village, Town and the Village of Woodsburgh, as stewards of the environment and protectors of their community safety, health and welfare, assure that flood risk mitigation measures effectively preserve the floodplain and surrounding areas. As the Department of Environmental Conservation has expressed, the goal of managing the floodplain is not only to ensure that new development is reasonably safe from flooding, but to address existing risks, to avoid increasing risk to others and to sustain natural capacities to slow and diffuse flood flows. Reducing development in flood-prone areas allows the natural landscape to absorb more floodwaters, reduce flooding to adjacent areas, recharge groundwater and sustain a healthy ecosystem.

As a result of declining golf participation and membership at eighteen-hole golf clubs, golf courses are closing, including the Woodmere Club. The land of the Woodmere Club ("the Woodmere Club property") is approximately 118.4 acres in size and is located partially in the Village (approximately 22.9 acres), the Town (approximately 55 acres) and Village of Woodsburgh (approximately 40.5 acres).

As a result, this large and mostly open coastal area, spanning the boundaries of these three contiguous municipalities, is vulnerable to residential and commercial development, seriously threatening both this environmentally sensitive coastal area, and the well-being of the Village, the Town, the Village of Woodsburgh and the region as a whole, and which potential adverse impacts and loss of existing open space will not be adequately mitigated by existing and inconsistent zoning regulations in both the contiguous Town and Villages with respect to permissible development, lot size, lot coverage, density, building height and site-specific development regulations.

It is the belief of the Village, in coordination with the contiguous Town and Village of Woodsburgh, that, unless addressed, the loss of this existing open space to over-development in the environmentally sensitive coastal area of the Village presents an immediate threat to the public health and safety of the Village, the adjacent Town and Village of Woodsburgh, and the region as a whole, and can best be mitigated, and the additional benefits accomplished, with the coordinated creation of matching complementary Coastal Conservation District[s] in each municipality in conjunction with the adjacent contiguous Town and Village of Woodsburgh.

The Woodmere Club property is located in a relatively vulnerable, low-lying coastal area, well within a special flood hazard area (100-year floodplain) and the New York State Coastal Boundary Area. The Woodmere Club property is also impacted by shallow groundwater conditions. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) has identified the presence of significant natural communities and rare plants and animals at the Woodmere Club property. The Woodmere Club property has also been identified by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) as a potentially archeologically sensitive area. Given the presence of these environmental and cultural resources, the Village intends to provide for a cluster development, in accordance with Village Law § 7-738, with reduced lot size requirements, in this area to properly conserve and protect the low-lying, vulnerable coastal area and natural area and resources.

A traditional subdivision layout with a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet within the approximately twenty-two-and-nine-tenths-acre Village portion of the course would have a gross yield of approximately 21 lots, but the net yield would be reduced significantly when accounting for area regulations, open space and/or parkland preservation, roadway and infrastructure elements and reserved drainage areas. Cluster-style development provided herein and in the contiguous Town and Village of Woodsburgh portions of the Woodmere Club property provides for the preservation of some of the most sensitive environmental portions of the property, while permitting sustainable residential development utilizing a cluster subdivision technique within all three municipalities. Sustainable design elements will be required in all residential development applications, incorporating a sustainable approach and low-impact development principles.

While the Village recognizes its responsibility to provide for a properly balanced and well-ordered plan of development and land uses within its community, it also recognizes that, in enacting local zoning, consideration must be given to regional needs and requirements, and that there must be a balancing of the local desire to maintain the status quo within the community and the greater public interest that regional needs be met.

The New York State General Municipal Law, § 239-NN, indicates the intent and purpose of the State of New York to encourage the coordination of land use development and regulation among adjacent municipalities in order that each adjacent municipality may recognize the goals and objectives of neighboring municipalities, and as a result development occurs in a manner which is supportive of the goals and objectives of the general area and neighboring municipalities.

Pursuant to Article 8, §§ 1 and 2-a of the New York State Constitution, as effectuated by General Municipal Law Article 5-J, § 119-u, Village Law § 7-741, and Town Law § 284, the Village, Town, and the Village of Woodsburgh agreed to coordinate regulation and entered into an intermunicipal cooperation planning and land use regulation agreement (the "intermunicipal cooperation agreement") with the purpose of undertaking mutually beneficial, shared and coordinated comprehensive planning and land use regulation for the Woodmere Club property in order to promote intergovernmental cooperation, increase coordination and effectiveness of comprehensive planning and land use regulation, make more efficient use of infrastructure and municipal revenues and resources, as to enhance the protection of community resources which span municipal boundaries.

It is in that spirit, and pursuant to agreement of all three municipalities to work together and the intermunicipal cooperation agreement, that the Village, in conjunction and coordination with the adjacent contiguous Town and Village of Woodsburgh, adopts and creates the Coastal Conservation District - Woodmere Club (CC-WC), for the Village of Lawrence.

The Coastal Conservation District- Woodmere Club (CC-WC) district represents an intermunicipal plan that addresses current and future physical climate risk changes due to sea level rise, storm surge and flooding. The district recognizes these impacts in relation to the unique geographical setting of the property at the Woodmere Channel terminus, its historical and environmentally and ecologically sensitive setting, and the anticipated flood impacts associated with this location. The risks to both private and public, and existing and future, development from flooding in this location under current and anticipated future conditions, necessitates multijurisdictional regulation guided by preservation and protection. The CC-WC District incorporates climate change considerations, while preserving both existing development and infrastructure, as well as protecting future development, including development on the Club property, from the virtual certainty of increasing flood risks as time progresses.

The Coastal Conservation District - Woodmere Club establishes three subdistricts to ensure the preservation of existing open space and regulate development in a manner that is compatible with area zoning and development patterns. The Open Space/Recreation Subdistrict and the Single-Family Residential Subdistrict both include portions of the Village and the contiguous Town of Hempstead and Village of Woodsburgh, while the Clubhouse/Hospitality Subdistrict is located wholly within the Village of Woodsburgh. The three subdistricts are described in Subsection J of this section.

The Village of Lawrence Board of Trustees (hereinafter "Village Board") finds that the creation of this zoning district, with its three subdistricts, is in harmony with the coordinated creation of a similar zoning district in the contiguous Town of Hempstead and Village of Woodsburgh, is in the public interest and that the provisions of these coordinated contiguous complementary zoning districts in each municipality are in the interest of the protection and promotion of the public health, general welfare and safety of both the residents of the Village and contiguous Town of Hempstead and Village of Woodsburgh.

The creation of this district, in coordination with the contiguous municipalities, is intended to preserve the Village's natural resources and environmental features, while also preserving community character and the economic value of other properties in the neighborhood in and about the Woodmere Club property. Special consideration is provided for sustainable design elements, which will help to mitigate flood impacts, preserve open space, decrease stormwater runoff, improve local water quality, and reduce traffic impacts. The regulations contained within this section have been designed to be compatible and complementary with other permitted land uses in the area and contiguous municipalities and protect the character of their existing and developed residential communities.

A conceptual development plan for the proposed development of the property shall be filed simultaneously with the Town of Hempstead and the Villages of Woodsburgh and Lawrence for review purposes prior to the filing of a map or subdivision application with the Nassau County Planning Commission. The purpose of this procedure is to facilitate a coordinated review with the Town and Villages, including a conceptual subdivision layout for the three subdistricts. The conceptual subdivision layout shall include existing and conceptual proposed grading, proposed drainage for the lots and infrastructure, lot configuration, hospitality development proposal, and plans for maintenance of open space/common areas.

Upon receipt of the conceptual development plan, the Town and Villages shall review the plan for compliance with applicable zoning, subdivision and site-specific (including any performance standards and sustainable design) regulations in effect in the respective jurisdictions. Each municipality shall inform the applicant as to compliance with such regulations, within 45 days of receipt of the conceptual development plan, and may also provide comments regarding any relevant matter, including plans for maintenance of open space and common area.

In interpreting and applying the provisions of this section, the rules of interpretation applicable to remedial legislation shall be used so that the spirit and intent of this section shall be observed.

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this section and other provisions of this Building Zone Ordinance, the provisions of this section shall control.

Open space/recreation subdistrict. Accounting for approximately 21.1 acres of the approximately twenty-two-and-nine-tenths-acre Village of Lawrence portion of the property (92% of the land area within the Village of Lawrence) and approximately 83.3 acres of the approximately one-hundred-eighteen-and-four-tenths-acre Woodmere Club (70% of total land area), the intent of the Open Space/Recreation Subdistrict is to preserve critical coastal open space areas to the maximum practicable extent. These open space areas provide flood mitigation from storm surge, stormwater, and sea level rise, provide critical habitats for wildlife and contribute significantly to the unique community character of the area. In recognition of the flood mitigation provided by these open space areas, and the protection of existing development and infrastructure in the Town and the surrounding area, the use of fill shall be regulated by the restrictions specified herein. Within the Open Space/Recreational Subdistrict, grading for the purposes of floodwater storage, including compensatory storage requirements of the Village of Lawrence (Lawrence Village Code: Chapter 94, Flood Damage Prevention, Article V Construction Standards, § 94-13, General standards) and the Village of Woodsburgh (Woodsburgh Village Code: Chapter 77, Flood Damage Prevention, Article V Construction Standards. § 77-15, General standards), shall be permitted. In addition, within the Open Space/Recreational Subdistrict, with the exception of areas associated for access, as defined in § 212-13.1T(3) of this section, any removal of trees greater than six-inch caliper, or raising of grade by more than 12 inches, requires an administrative approval by the Town Board pursuant to Town Code and the Building Zone Ordinance.

Single-family residential subdistrict. The Single-Family Residential Subdistrict (approximately 29.4 acres of the approximately one-hundred-eighteen-and-four-tenths-acre Woodmere Club property, or 25% of total land area) comprises two distinct development clusters, one in the Town of Hempstead portion of the Woodmere Club property (approximately 19.3 acres in size) and one straddling the boundaries of the Village of Woodsburgh and the Village of Lawrence portions of the Woodmere Club property (approximately 10.1 acres in size). These clusters, zoned for residential housing (religious and educational uses permitted by special exception), will allow development that is compatible with the existing one-acre minimum lot zoning in the Village of Woodsburgh and the forty-thousand-square-foot minimum lot zoning in the Village of Lawrence, while retaining significantly more open space than provided for in previous zoning and land use regulations.

Clubhouse/Hospitality Subdistrict. The Clubhouse/Hospitality Subdistrict is limited to approximately 5.7 acres within the Village of Woodsburgh portion of the Woodmere Club property. The intent of this subdistrict is to preserve and enhance the existing clubhouse of the Woodmere Club and its associated hospitality services, including the parking areas, athletic courts and outdoor swimming pool. This subdistrict is regulated entirely by the Village of Woodsburgh and is not subject to the regulations set forth in this section.

Roof runoff will be piped underground, directly to stormwater drywells, leaching galleys, and/or other accepted infiltration practice. The use of green infrastructure is encouraged. Green infrastructure such as rain gardens and bioswales or other green techniques approved by the Town Engineer will receive an additional credit of two- times the volume capacity provided up to a total reduction of 1 1/2 inches. The three-inch volumetric design is separate and in addition to any stormwater capacity provided for as part of a real property subdivision map associated with the property.
