Minimum number of required loading spaces or docks:

Each loading space shall be at least 12 feet wide by 35 feet long.

Loading spaces shall not be permitted within required front yards and shall not be permitted on the primary facade of any building or on the side of any building facing a street.

Loading spaces shall be screened pursuant to § 158-68 so as to not be visible from front yard areas, adjacent properties or from streets.

Loading spaces, their access drives and maneuvering areas shall be located and designed so that their use does not impede the normal use of parking spaces and access drives.

All wholesaling, distribution and storage of materials and equipment, except vehicles used for transporting the warehoused products, shall be conducted within an enclosed building.

The storage and/or staging of refuse shall take place in the rear yard and shall be buffered or screened from view of parking facilities, streets, walks and adjacent properties.

Refuse/garbage containers shall be located within an enclosure designed such that the screen exceeds the height of the containers by one foot when closed.

The enclosure shall be constructed of materials complementary to that of the principal structure.

Gate access to the enclosure shall be located out of direct view from parking areas and principal building entrances, and shall be maintained in a closed position other than times of refuse pickup or delivery.

New construction must relate to the proportion, massing, and scale of surrounding-valued historic forms.

Nonresidential structures greater than one story shall provide visual distinction between the first floor and upper floors through the use of appropriate architectural elements, details, materials and/or changes in facade color.

In instances where the front facade is greater than 50 feet in width for non-single-family residential structure, delineations and treatments, such as a recess or projection that varies the depth of the building wall, shall be used to break up its appearance.

Nonresidential structures shall incorporate fascias, canopies, arcades, setbacks, recesses, projections or other design features to compose wall surfaces of 750 square feet or less to avoid large, undifferentiated walls.

For nonresidential buildings with multiple storefronts, there shall be a direct correlation between the delineations of interior tenant spaces and exterior facade treatments.

For nonresidential buildings, a formal building base shall be distinguished from the upper portions of the structure through a change of materials, color, texture and/or projection.

Buildings shall have at least one primary facade which contains the primary building entrance.

Buildings shall have a transparent primary entryway.

Primary building entrances shall face a primary street or drive. At the discretion of the Planning Board, a side or rear entry may also be permitted depending on the site layout.

Buildings fronting on US Route 11 and an intersecting street shall have a primary entry on US Route 11 or at the corner facing the intersecting streets.

Primary entries shall be prominently designed and constructed and shall function as pedestrian transition areas independent of site or building signage.

Windows on all structures shall be of a scale, proportion and extent appropriate to the overall architectural style of the building.

Window openings shall be trimmed with an appropriate material (brick, stone, wood, wood-like, cementitious board, vinyl) to provide added definition to the overall building facade.

Faux window openings shall be permitted on industrial and manufacturing portions of structures, such that the design of these elements is of like material, scale, and proportion to functioning window openings found elsewhere on the building.

Building office areas shall be defined by projections, recesses and/or changes in height, design and material to differentiate these uses from manufacturing or industrial activities.

Building office areas shall be oriented to face a primary street and shall be connected to streets and parking facilities with sidewalks.

Building office areas shall contain at least 30% glass on exterior facades between three feet and 10 feet above grade that permits transparency into the structure through windows and doors.

Roof mechanicals, air, antenna, or saucer equipment shall be screened from adjacent properties and from street view by a parapet or architecturally compatible rooftop screen.

Ground-fixed mechanical equipment shall be screened so as to not be visible from adjacent properties or from the street.

All utilities shall be buried underground from point of service to building envelope.

Pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns shall be designed to minimize potential conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians and to provide enhanced separation.

Safe, convenient, efficient and dedicated pedestrian circulation pathways shall be provided between structures and parking facilities.

Parking and vehicle circulation patterns shall be designed to reduce speeds and increase pedestrian safety, efficiency and convenience.

Principal and shared pedestrian entrances for ground-floor residential units shall face the primary street and have a direct connection to the sidewalk system, if present.

Pursuant to the United States Clean Water Act of 1987, the Town of LeRay is classified as a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). All stormwater discharges within the Town are regulated under the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) general permit for stormwater discharges, GP-0-10-002, or current version. Applicants shall be required to coordinate with the Town Engineer regarding the permitting requirements for their particular project. A draft stormwater prevention plan (SWPPP), as defined by and consistent with the standards of the Town of LeRay Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Law (Chapter 133), shall be provided where required.

If, in the opinion of the Planning Board and consultation with the Town Engineer, the accelerated erosion of soil will result from any development proposal, the Planning Board shall require that such erosion shall be controlled.

To accomplish this, a person engaged in earth-moving activities shall develop, implement and maintain erosion and sedimentation control measures which effectively minimize accelerated erosion and sedimentation.

These erosion and sedimentation measures must be set forth in a plan as described below and must be available at all times at the site of the activity.

The erosion and sedimentation control plan shall be prepared by a person trained and experienced in erosion and sedimentation control methods and techniques.

The erosion and sedimentation control plan shall be designed to prevent accelerated erosion and sedimentation and shall consider all factors which contribute to erosion and sedimentation, including, but not limited to, the following:

Upon completion of the project, all areas which were disturbed by the project shall be stabilized so that accelerated erosion shall be prevented.

Any erosion and sedimentation control facility required or necessary to protect areas from erosion during the stabilization period shall be maintained until stabilization is completed.

Upon completion of stabilization, all unnecessary or unusable control facilities shall be removed, the areas shall be graded and the soils shall be stabilized.
