Notes: [1] Where a development includes multiple buildings, buffer requirements shall apply to the zoning lot rather than to individual lots in the development. [2] Where the adjoining land is vacant and located within another zoning jurisdiction, the perimeter buffer type required shall be based on the Town zoning classification that, in the Planning Director’s opinion, most closely matches the zoning classification given the land by the adjoining jurisdiction. [3] Where an easement for major overhead high-voltage (100kV+) electrical power transmission lines abuts or crosses a residential use, a Type C

buffer shall be provided along the outside of the power line easement. [4] This buffer requirement is only applicable to sewage pump stations. (Ord. No. 2015-002, 04/29/2015; Ord. No. 2016-001, 05/10/2016)
