The accompanying table entitled "Table of General Bulk Requirements" shall be a part of this chapter and is referred to herein as the "Bulk Table" and sets forth the minimum bulk requirements of this chapter.[1]

Other Articles herein contain supplemental requirements applying to bulk, setback and coverage of specified uses.

As part of any minimum lot area requirement of this chapter, not more than 50% of any land under water, subject to or within the one-hundred-year frequency floodplain, within easements or rights-of-way for overhead utilities, with slopes (unexcavated) of over 25% or within a designated street line of any road, shall be counted.

Street frontage for residential lots fronting on culs-de-sac or on a street with a radius of curvature at the center line of 100 feet or less or in other appropriate circumstances may be reduced by the Planning Board at the time of subdivision plat approval to no less than 1/2 of the required dimensions. No portion of the lot, along the access route from its frontage into the lot, shall be narrower than the approved frontage.

In GB, HB and PLI Districts, no side yard or rear yard shall be required where such yard abuts an overhead utility transmission line right-of-way, railroad or a limited-access highway.

In the PO, NB, GB, HB, PLI and POR Districts, where the subdivision of a developed parcel is proposed, no side yard shall be required where an existing building coincides, in whole or in part, with a proposed lot line. Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with § 255-31C. Access to all lots shall be provided in accordance with § 255-31A and may be provided across adjacent lots located in the proposed subdivision.

The Village Board may authorize the Planning Board, simultaneously with the approval of a subdivision plat in accordance with § 7-728 of the Village Law and the provisions of the Average Density Zoning Resolution heretofore and hereafter adopted by the Village Board, to modify the applicable bulk and area provisions of this chapter. This procedure may be followed by the Planning Board upon written application by the owner or subdivider or at the initiation of the Planning Board. The procedure may be used to modify the minimum lot area requirements; lot width; front, side and rear yards; and street frontage. This procedure shall not be used to modify the requirements for building height.

In the event that the application of this procedure results in a plat showing lands available for park, recreation, open space or other municipal purposes, then the Planning Board, as a condition of final plat approval, may establish such conditions as to the ownership, use and maintenance of such lands as it deems necessary to assure the preservation of such lands for their intended purposes. All conditions shall be approved by the Village Board prior to preliminary plat approval by the Planning Board.

Open space land created as part of the application of average density to a subdivision plat and which is not required or permitted to be accepted for dedication to the Village of Spring Valley shall be in a form of common ownership, which form and content shall be subject to the approval of the Village Board and which shall meet at least one of the following conditions:
