(a)
Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to preserve one or more buildings or structures:
[1]
Which have extraordinary architectural or aesthetic value, or which have a relationship to and association with notable personages, families, historic events, any of which contribute to the cultural heritage of the Village;
[2]
The use of such buildings, or one or more of them, as single-family residences is no longer feasible, due to their excessive size for such use, the cost of or inability to secure services and staff necessary for the physical maintenance and use of such buildings and the grounds upon which it or they are located, by reason of which such buildings have become obsolete and anachronisms, and in great danger of deterioration, decay, and eventual demolition and loss;
[3]
Those tangible assets which provide a sense of identity with the area as it once was should be conserved, protected, restored, perpetuated, and enhanced for the benefits which their restored existence would confer upon the Village, in harmony with a Comprehensive Plan and policies thereof, and the promotion of the general welfare;
[4]
There is little or no possibility of their conservation, restoration, or perpetuation, if limited to single-family residential use as they formerly were used; and
[5]
The Village Board finds that limited, quasi-commercial uses of those of such properties which are on sufficiently large parcels of land to safeguard the properties of adjoining owners, in the manner hereinafter set forth, will be in harmony with the spirit and intent of this chapter and Comprehensive Plan, and the most suitable alternative to destruction and continuing deterioration of such properties.
(b)
Premises which may be converted. Any existing building or structure which shall be found by the Planning Board to possess historical, outstanding aesthetic, architectural, cultural, or other value set forth in Subsection B(6)(a) and which is no longer used or capable of being used as a single-family residence, by virtue of the matters set forth in such preambles, and which building is:
[1]
Centrally located on a parcel of land at least 50 acres in size fronting on a state or county road;
[2]
Was constructed in 1930 or earlier;
[3]
Contains a minimum of 40 rooms or contains a minimum of 450,000 cubic feet, when approved by the Planning Board, after a public hearing, may be used, operated, and maintained as executive headquarters, including the reception and extension of hospitality to persons connected therewith, visitors and dignitaries. As accessory and incidental thereto, such property may contain guest facilities for the temporary accommodation of visiting executives, business visitors and dignitaries, in existing wings, buildings or facilities, subject to the discretion of the Planning Board.
(c)
Procedure. In passing upon an application for the conversion of such properties to such use, the Planning Board shall give consideration to, among other matters as provided in this chapter, the following:
[1]
Whether the size, extent and intensity of the use will prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties, or properties in the immediately surrounding area, or will materially affect the value thereof.
[2]
Whether the effect of the proposed use will be to create or unduly increase traffic congestion upon the roads giving access to it.
[3]
Whether the use of the structures to be used therefor will cause an undue concentration of population thereon.
[4]
Whether, in connection with the foregoing, and all the aspects of use on a particular parcel, the proposed use, subject to such reasonable conditions as may be necessary or desirable to mitigate any adverse impacts thereof, furnishes a reasonable alternative to the existing condition of the premises, or to the conversion thereof to any other use, in conformity with the general purposes and intent of this chapter.
(d)
Conditions. Such use, if granted, shall be subject to the following conditions:
[1]
Offices and areas used for the conduct of any operations of a business nature, including record storage, location of business machinery, furniture and equipment, and staff operations shall not exceed 45% of the total interior space, figured on a cubic-foot basis, or 50% of the total square footage of interior floor space.
[2]
No change, modification or alteration shall be made to the interior or exterior of the principal building, nor to the interior or exterior of any existing accessory building, without prior approval of the Planning Board.
[3]
The uses permitted hereunder may be carried on solely in the existing principal building, with existing accessory buildings, if any, being used solely for accessory uses specified in Subsection C(5) and/or for storage of equipment and materials or parking of vehicles.
[4]
There shall be permitted no more than 75 officers and employees.
[5]
In granting approval hereunder, the Planning Board further shall give careful consideration to the preservation of original or existing landscaping, the necessity of additional landscaping, the location and use of accessory buildings, the extent and manner in which the buildings, furnishings and grounds are intended to be repaired and restored, and shall impose reasonable conditions with respect to the foregoing and to the hours during which the activities may be conducted upon the premises.
(e)
Residential use. No residential use may be made of the premises except as set forth above and except for such use as may be necessary for persons employed in the premises in a security or maintenance capacity together with their families.
(f)
Waivers and modifications; additional conditions. The Planning Board shall have the power to waive or modify in a particular case any of the conditions with respect to size of the plot, date of construction, or size of principal building, in furtherance of the purposes hereof, and to impose such other, further and additional conditions upon its grant of approval as may be reasonable and in furtherance of the purposes hereof and in harmony with the spirit and intent of these provisions.
(7)
Accessory park uses.

Generators, HVAC and similar equipment shall be subject to the side and rear setbacks for principal buildings or structures where possible as determined by the Building Inspector or else within 10 feet of the principal dwelling setback [see § 300-7D(4)]. |
Except where given as a percentage, all areas are given in square feet and dimensions are given in feet. |
If a net lot area falls between the specified net lot areas in the foregoing table, then the limits specified for the larger net lot area shall apply. |
For properties larger than 2,000,000 square feet, the limits revert to those corresponding to 2,000,000 square feet. |

Notwithstanding the minimum front setbacks as set forth in the foregoing table, no accessory building shall be located between the front wall of the principal building and the front lot line. The total aggregate lot coverage of all accessory buildings shall not exceed 150% of the maximum floor area permitted for an accessory building as set forth in the foregoing table.
