CALCULATION AND VERIFICATION OF LIVABLE FLOOR AREA POLICY
In 2010, the Town Board adopted a Local Law entitled "A Local Law in relation to Amendments
to Use Regulations within the Agricultural Conservation (A-C) District and Low Density
Residential R-40, R-80, R-120, R-200, and R-400 Districts and Accessory Apartments", which
permits accessory apartments in accessory structures, subject to special permit approval by the
Zoning Board of Appeals. One of the special permit criteria requires a proposal for an accessory
apartment in an accessory structure to be "no less than 450 square feet and shall not exceed 750
square feet of livable floor area" (§280-13(B)(13)(f)). Special permit applications to the Zoning
Board of Appeals do not require review by Building Department prior to the submission of an
application. However, there may be instances where the Building Department review is
required to verify the proposed square footage of an accessory apartment.
The Town Board hereby directs the Building Department to verify livable floor area in all special
permit applications submitted to the Zoning Board of Appeals within 14 days of receipt of the
application from the ZBA Office.
