Village of Scottsville, NY: zoning for new construction

One-Family Residential 16 - Every figure shown is a default: the lot area, width, yards, height and coverage may each be displaced by the most common figure on the block where the lot sits. A parcel-specific answer needs the block, not just the district.

• The minimum lot area more than doubles without public sewer: 40,000 sq ft against the 16,000 sq ft serviced figure, and it applies to a nonresidential lot too, which owes a 15 ft side yard.
• Where public sewerage is not available, no lot may be built upon that lacks space for a private sanitary waste disposal system as determined by the Monroe County Department of Health.
• A two-storey house needs at least 800 sq ft of ground floor, and anything over one storey needs 1,600 sq ft in total.
• A garage setback of 10 ft, measured from the front building line, applies to all dwelling units.
• A two-family dwelling by conversion needs a special permit, and the district's own figures govern it.
• Accessory structures need 5 ft side and 10 ft rear yards and have a 20 ft height cap.
