Page 26
E. Before the transfer of sanitary flow credits may be authorized to any receiving
district, the Town Board shall determine, after evaluating the effects of potential
increased development which is possible under the transfer of development rights
provisions, that would result from the proposed transfer of sanitary credits, that

covenants and restrictions stating that the affordable housing created shall remain
affordable in perpetuity.

transfer of sanitary flow credits. The resolution shall state that the applicant shall
receive a sanitary flow credit certificate, which shall not be signed by the
Supervisor and released by the Town Clerk to the applicant until the covenants

that have been issued by the Town Board, and such log shall contain the source
and location of the transferred credit.
