Sincerely, Christine O'Reilly-Rao Town Clerk RESOLUTION OF INTRODUCTION Councilman Jessup, seconded by Councilman Luna, introduced the following proposed local law, to be !mown as Local Law No. of 2020, entitled A LOCAL LAW OF THE TOWN OF LAGRANGE, DUTCHESS COUNTY, NEW YORK TO AMEND CHAPTER 240, "ZONING", OF THE LAGRANGE TOWN CODE BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 240-70.3 ENTITLED "OUTDOOR SPORTS AND RECREATION". BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of LaGrange that the Town Code is amended to read as follows: Section 1. Chapter 240 of the LaGrange Town Code is amended to add a new Section 240-70.3 reading as follows: §240-70.3. Outdoor Sports and Recreation. A) Legislative intent. It is the specific purpose and intent of this provision to provide the opportunity for the development of outdoor sports and recreation uses in a scope, scale, and intensity which is compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods and uses. Furthermore, it is the purpose and intent of this section to allow this use while preserving neighborhood character and property values. B) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply exclusively to the provisions of this section: 1 LOW-SPEED ELECTRIC BICYCLE A two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p), whose maxium speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20m.p.h. C) To help achieve these goals and promote the objectives of the Town of LaGrange Comprehensive Plan, a special permit is required to create an outdoor sports and recreation facility, subject to the following provisions: 1. Properties shall be a minimum of 15 acres in size. 2. Design and construction of any improvements must be compatible and harmonious with the character of the existing neighborhood. 3. Operations in connection with any special use will not be offensive, potentially dangerous, or destructive of property values. 4. Operations will not be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of significant noise, fumes, vibration, electromagnetic radiation, the flashing of lights and similar nuisance conditions than would be the operations of any permitted use not requiring a special permit.
