Southampton Village may try to stop the scourge of pool house McMansions

The Southampton Village Board is considering modifying the zoning code to limit the size of accessory structures like pool houses in smaller residential districts. Currently, those accessory structures aren’t included in the permitted gross floor area (GFA) calculation. The proposed changes would also dictate that at least 65 percent of a lot has to be vegetated with flora that allow water to soak into the root zone, 27East reported. A public hearing on the proposed changes will be held on Dec. 8. [27East.com]
