Start of construction shall not commence until the Town has given final subdivision or site plan approval and a subdivision map has been filed in the Monroe County Clerk's office if required.[1] In special circumstances, the Town Board may grant approval for site preparation in advance of final approval upon application for permission to the Town Board and consultation with the Planning Board. Said application shall be supported by good and sufficient reasons for starting in advance of final approval and must contain adequate surety for the performance of the work.

There shall be only one principal building or use on any lot.

Accessory buildings/structures shall be subject to the following:

Every principal building shall have access to a public street. Access may be either direct or by private road or drive approved by the Town. Access is to be owned by fee simple title and be a minimum of 100 feet in an RA-5 District and a minimum of 50 feet in all other districts. Any accessway over 500 feet in length shall be improved to meet Town requirements. The maximum number of principal structures to be serviced by one private road or drive is four. All structures shall be so located on lots as to provide safe and convenient access for servicing, fire protection and required off-street parking.

Curb cuts and driveways may be located only upon approval by the Highway Superintendent or such other county and state authorities as required by law. Approval shall not be given where such curb cuts and driveways shall unnecessarily increase traffic hazards. The edge of an improved driveway shall not be located closer than 10 feet to a property line unless such driveway is a common driveway with the adjoining property.

No property shall be used for the killing or slaughtering of domestic animals except animals raised on the property which are for consumption by the residents of the property.

Boats, recreational vehicles and travel trailers may be stored on the side or rear of the building, but not nearer than 10 feet to the rear or side lot line. All vehicles must be owned by the resident unless fully enclosed in a building.

If the use of any lot or building involves the disposal of sewage or wastewater and public sewers are not available, an adequate sanitary disposal system for the same shall be installed in accordance with regulations and standards promulgated by the Town and by the Department of Health and at all times maintained on such lot or in lawful connection therewith. The minimum lot area otherwise required shall be increased where necessary to the extent required to provide such disposal system. Certification of approval for the installation of on-site sewage disposal systems shall be obtained from the Department of Health and submitted to the CEO prior to the start of construction. In addition, if the use of any lot or building involves a private water source, an adequate well shall be installed in accordance with regulations and standards imposed by the Monroe County Department of Public Health.

Except for customary farm operations, no lot shall be used for the commercial storage or disposal of solid or liquid waste without the prior approval of the Town Board. Town Board approval shall be given only upon a finding that the proposed use shall not have a detrimental effect upon surrounding properties and evidence of any required permits necessary from the Monroe County Department of Public Health and/or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The Town Board may require the submission of any documents necessary to make the foregoing finding. No manure, odor- or dust-producing substances shall be permitted to be stored within 200 feet of any lot line, unless such storage is part of accepted agricultural operations or practices and the land on which such storage is conducted is within an agricultural district established pursuant to the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law. No manure shall be stored within 200 feet of any drinking water source or stream corridor. Where manure is stored in connection with an agricultural operation, there shall be no drainage onto adjacent properties.

One unregistered motor vehicle being offered for sale may be parked on the premises of a principal residential structure. No more than five unregistered vehicles may be displayed or offered for sale on any premises during any twelve-month period. No vehicle shall be displayed or parked closer than 15 feet to any property line or road right-of-way. Unregistered vehicles offered or displayed for sale may only be parked on the premises of the principal residential structure of their owner.

Substantially damaged structures.

The dumping of refuse, waste material and other substances, except yard waste generated on the property, is prohibited in all districts. However, filling to establish grades following the issuance of a permit by the CEO is allowed. Materials used as fill to establish grades shall consist solely of clean soil, gravel and other clean fill. All materials applied shall be leveled and covered with at least four inches of topsoil within 14 days of application. Adequate ground cover shall be established within 60 days of application of the fill.

No parcel shall be used to keep more than three dogs which are three months of age or older unless a special use permit for a kennel has been issued.

Raising, harboring or housing of animals.

Prohibited uses in all districts:

All berms constructed shall not exceed four feet in height above existing grade. In addition, no berm placed within the front yard portion of a lot that is located in the clear sight zones as defined elsewhere in the Town Code may exceed three feet in height. Hedges, bushes or trees that interfere with the line of sight shall not be erected or planted in a clear sight zone nor shall they be allowed to grow so as to obstruct said clear sight zone.

All ponds, except stormwater management facilities, shall not be established any closer than 50 feet to any property line or any road right-of-way but must still be separated by 100 feet from any septic system. All pond designs must be approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation or designed by a New York State licensed engineer.

Yard sales are only permitted to take place for three consecutive days no more than twice within a calendar year.

No solid waste or recycling collection shall be permitted between 8:00 p.m. of one day and 6:00 a.m. of the following day.
