BILL NUMBER:S6527
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to providing notice of certain construction projects
Purpose
This legislation would require municipalities to provide notice of certain construction projects.
Summary of provisions
The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section 79 to require that a municipality must notify in writing, within 60 days prior to commencement of construction, to every person whose property boundary is within five hundred feet of the property boundary of such construction project, regardless of what municipality such persons reside in.
Construction is defined as the erection of any new building or facility by any municipality. It will not include road or highway work, repaving or resurfacing.
Justification
When a municipality makes a decision to erect a new building or facility within their boundaries, the construction and/or the future project can have an impact on the immediate surrounding community near the project.
This legislation takes this impact in to account and requires any muni- cipality to notify in writing, within 60 days prior to commencement of construction, to every person whose property boundary is within five hundred feet of the property boundary of such construction project, regardless of what municipality such persons reside in.
