Latest version.
  • The Town Board finds that the Town of Brookhaven possesses many buildings, structures and areas of historical, architectural and unique aesthetic value which contribute to its physical well-being and cultural heritage and that these tangible assets, which provide a sense of identity and place, should be perpetuated, conserved, protected and enhanced as a public necessity in harmony with the Comprehensive Town Plan and to promote the general welfare. Therefore, it is the purpose and policy of the Town Board to establish historic districts in which special regulations may be necessary to safeguard these buildings, structures and areas of significance in an appropriate manner and to ensure that new buildings, structures and uses within and adjacent to historic districts will be in harmony with their special character to be preserved.
