The Bulk Table is divided into columns, each column headed by a number for reference. The Bulk Table is divided by single horizontal lines into groups, each group being identified by a letter corresponding to the letter symbol appearing in the Use Table adjacent to each use or combination of uses. Each of the uses within each group is regulated by the bulk regulations for the indicated use group.

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 for residential purposes, not more than 50% of any land under water or within a stream, defined as that area located between the top of its streambanks or where no streambank exists, the area which conveys water under normal conditions, within easements or rights-of-way for overhead utilities, with slopes (unexcavated) of over 25%, within a designated street line or within any freshwater wetland shall be counted. The application of this section to any particular lot shall be the responsibility of the Town Planning Board at the time of subdivision or site development plan approval.

Required street frontage and lot width for lots fronting on culs-de-sac or on streets 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 1/2 of the required dimensions but in no case less than 50 feet. No portion of the lot along the access route from its frontage into the lot shall be narrower than the approved frontage.

In RRBR, O, LI-2 and LI Districts, no side setback, no side yard, no rear setback or no rear yard shall be required where such setback abuts an overhead utility transmission line right-of-way, railroad or a limited-access highway. In such cases, the total width of both side setbacks shall be 75 feet in an RRBR, O, LI-2 and LI District.

The Town Board hereby authorizes the Planning Board, simultaneously with the approval of a subdivision plat in accordance with § 278 of the Town Law and the provisions of the average density zoning heretofore and hereafter adopted by the Town Board, to modify the applicable bulk and area provisions of this chapter. The Planning Board may require the submission of an application for cluster development and approve cluster development without further authorization of the Town Board. 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 setbacks; and street frontage. This procedure may not be used to modify the requirements for building height. The lot size may not be reduced below the area required for adequate septic sewage disposal where such systems are to be provided.

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 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 Town Board prior to final 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 Town of Stony Point shall be in a form of common ownership, which form and content shall be subject to the approval of the Town Board and which shall meet at least one of the following conditions:

For any lot or any portion of a lot, those areas characterized by slopes in excess of 25% shall not be developed, regraded or stripped of vegetation, except that up to 2,500 square feet of slopes greater than 25% may be disturbed except for construction of a principal structure on any lot created before April 9, 1996. The Planning Board may, in its discretion, permit the development of roads through areas where the slope exceeds 25% in order to provide access to areas of a site which would otherwise be inaccessible.

Where the construction of a principal structure or an addition to a principal structure in excess of 500 square feet is proposed on a lot located in the SR-R or RR Zoning Districts and located within the Viewshed Protection Overlay District, the following design standards and restrictions shall apply in order to preserve environmentally sensitive ridgelines and hilltops and reduce overall visual impacts of a project:

Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Stony Point, no new MHC zoning districts shall be created beyond those in existence on April 14, 1998. Expansion of an MHC zoning district may be permitted subject to the following requirements:

The dimensional and lot area requirements shall apply as follows:

Preexisting manufactured housing communities shall, within 180 days of adoption, file a plat plan with the Building Inspector showing existing sites and facilities, if a plat plan is not already in the files of the Building Inspector.

Any future expansion beyond that in existence at the time of adoption of these provisions shall meet the requirements of the MHC District.

Open recreation space of 100 square feet per new unit must be provided, and may be grouped in one or more locations. Alternatively, the Planning Board may require the payment of $2,000 for each new unit, in accordance with the provisions of Town Law authorizing site plan review.[1]

Where substantial changes are needed to meet the requirements of the MHC District, the Planning Board may, as part of site plan review, require some modification of the site to meet part of these requirements.

All new and replacement units must have concrete pads built to specifications approved by the Building Inspector and must be skirted.

For purposes of establishing minimum lot area and other requirements where new units are proposed, pre-existing detached residential buildings within the MHC District shall be deemed to require the same lot area (not delineated) and bulk provisions as apply to detached residential buildings in the adjacent residential zoning district.

Where new units are proposed, the Planning Board as part of site plan approval may require confirmation that the sewage disposal system operates satisfactorily, and that any increase in water demand will not adversely affect on-site wells or those on adjoining properties, all to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer.

In the MHC District all references to lots shall be deemed to refer to manufactured housing sites and all references to a street shall be deemed to refer to street and/or internal drives within the manufactured housing community.
