The Village Board of Trustees hosted a public hearing Tuesday to consider input from residents regarding a law to amend Sea Cliff’s building code in relation to property improvements (1808). After comments were received, trustees unanimously approved the proposal.
In September, representatives from the village’s Subdivision Committee gave a presentation outlining proposed changes to the village’s code. Building Department Supervisor Shane Dommin said the changes would “enhance village processes” with the goal of simplifying the building code. Since that meeting, the code has been gradually amended to include the committee’s recommendations.
Village Attorney Brian Stolar, who advises the committee, explained that the first portion of the new law is related to section 107-4 of the current code, which requires site plan review by Sea Cliff’s Planning Board. The amendment, he said, broadens the scope of the code to “include specific items of development” (see box).
The second portion of the law addresses “design standards,” and requires all proposed site plans to include information contained in section 145-8 of the village code. Such standards include: property owner; Nassau County Land and Tax Map description; village zoning district; and proposed location, arrangement and dimensions of all structures.
