Town of Beekman, NY: zoning for new construction

Residential 135,000 Square Feet District — Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 6%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 10% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. Minimum road frontage is 100 ft, a separate column from the lot width. A dwelling unit must have at least 1000 sq ft of interior living space.

Residential 90,000 Square Feet District — Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 8%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 12% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against.

Residential 45,000 Square Feet District — Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 10%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 15% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. Minimum road frontage is 100 ft, a separate column from the lot width. A dwelling unit must have at least 1000 sq ft of interior living space.

Residential-Mobile Home District — Schedule B states "NA" for minimum lot area, lot width and road frontage in R-MH — the district is regulated as a mobile home development rather than lot by lot, so those are left empty rather than guessed. It also publishes no impervious-surface limit, only the 25% building coverage. A parking lot must be at least 150 ft from a residential district. A dwelling unit must have at least 475 sq ft of interior living space.

Poughquag Hamlet District, Beekmanville Hamlet District — Schedule B publishes TWO complete rows for this district, and the base row here is the unserviced one. On PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER every figure changes: the lot drops from 45,000 sq ft to 11,250, the interior living space minimum from 1,000 sq ft to 500, the lot width and road frontage from 150 ft and 100 ft to 50 ft each, the front yard from 50 ft to 15, the side from 20 ft to 10 and the rear from 35 ft to 30 — and building coverage rises from 10% to 50%. Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 10%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 15% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. On public water and sewer those become 50% and 80%. Minimum road frontage is 100 ft, a separate column from the lot width.

Residential District Condominium Units District — HR is a condominium district, not a hamlet one, and Schedule B gives it no lot-area minimum at all: the area cell publishes a DENSITY instead, a maximum of 8 dwelling units per acre, which is what the land-per-unit figure here carries. Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 25%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 50% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. Minimum road frontage is 50 ft, a separate column from the lot width. A dwelling unit must have at least 1000 sq ft of interior living space.

Sylvan Cottage District — Schedule B says the SC lot area "varies" and sends you to § 155-8H, which sets it by BEDROOM COUNT: 5,000 sq ft for a one- or two-bedroom unit, 10,000 for a three-bedroom and 20,000 for a four-bedroom. The base row here is the one- or two-bedroom case, which is the smallest; the rest of the ladder is stated here beside it. The same table caps the floor area of each unit — 1,000, 1,250 and 1,500 sq ft respectively — which is a MAXIMUM, and separate from the 450 sq ft minimum of interior living space Schedule B requires. Yards are "10 feet per story", so the 10 ft recorded here is the single-storey figure and a two-storey building needs 20 ft on every side. No building may stand closer than 15 ft to another building in SC or in an adjoining residential district. Schedule B publishes no building coverage limit for SC, only a 75% impervious-surface limit. Schedule B states no minimum road frontage for this district.

Town Center District — The front yard is a RANGE, "0 to 15 feet", not a minimum — a building may not sit further back than 15 ft. TC publishes a lot minimum of 43,560 sq ft AND a density of 12 residential units per acre; they answer different questions and both are recorded. Commercial on the lower level with residential above is as of right; residential on BOTH levels needs a special use permit. A residential lot may be 6,000 to 10,000 sq ft where it is used for an attached house or a condominium. Every parcel must grant the Town a 35 ft utility easement, located as the Planning Board directs (Note 3). Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 25%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 50% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. Minimum road frontage is 100 ft, a separate column from the lot width. A dwelling unit must have at least 800 sq ft of interior living space.

Neighborhood Shopping District, Highway Commercial District — The side and rear yards rise from 40 ft to 60 ft where the lot abuts a residential district (Note 1). A parking lot must be at least 60 ft from a residential district. Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 25%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 50% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. Minimum road frontage is 125 ft, a separate column from the lot width. Schedule B publishes no lot width and no interior living space minimum for the commercial districts.

Mixed Commercial - Light Industrial District — The side and rear yards rise from 80 ft to 150 ft where the lot abuts a residential district (Note 2). A parking lot must be at least 60 ft from a residential district. C-3 is the one district allowed 45 ft of height rather than 35. Schedule B publishes TWO coverage limits and only the building one has a column here: maximum lot coverage by buildings is 30%, and maximum lot coverage by IMPERVIOUS SURFACES INCLUDING THE BUILDING is 50% — the second is the one a driveway and parking count against. Minimum road frontage is 125 ft, a separate column from the lot width. Schedule B publishes no lot width and no interior living space minimum for the commercial districts.

Land Conservation District — LC is one of the § 155-5 use districts, but Schedule B publishes no area or bulk column for it — the chapter sets only the uses allowed, in Schedule A. Its purpose is to protect sensitive resource areas, including former public land conveyed into private hands. No dimensional standard is recorded because none is published.
