Village of Jeffersonville, NY: zoning for new construction

Residential Settlement District - A home in the RS District needs 10,000 square feet with public sewer and water, on a lot 75 feet wide and 100 feet deep, set back 20 feet at the front, 10 feet at one side with 25 feet for both sides, and 25 feet at the rear, no taller than 2.5 stories or 30 feet.

• Lot coverage is the lesser of 50% or 10,000 square feet, counting buildings and structures and leaving out parking areas and driveways.
• Lot area applies to each dwelling unit, so a two-family dwelling, which is a special use here, needs the equivalent of two minimum sized lots.
• Where an unimproved lot sits between improved lots whose buildings stand within the required front yard, the front yard drops to the average depth of the two nearest front yards.
• A yard bordering a lake or pond is at least 100 feet deep and one bordering a stream or creek at least 50 feet deep, measured from the water rather than from a lot line.
