[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Harriman 11-10-2015 by L.L.
No. 5-2015. Amendments noted where applicable.]
GENERAL REFERENCES
Zoning — See Ch. 140.
The intent of this chapter is to establish rules for enclosed
dumpster areas for commercial properties and residential properties
consisting of four or more dwelling units, in order to prevent accumulations
of garbage and rubbish from spreading throughout the Village and endangering
the health and welfare of citizens, and enhance the aesthetic appearance
of the community.
B.
Dumpsters and similar large receptacles shall be fully shielded from
view from any public street by means of appropriate landscaping, hedges,
fences, screening or an enclosure. In the event that site conditions
of a particular property make compliance with these requirements impracticable,
the owner thereof may apply for a waiver from the Village Board. In
granting such a waiver, the Board shall impose such reasonable conditions
as to effectuate the intent of this section to minimize the visibility
of such dumpster or similar large receptacle. Such dumpster or similar
large receptacles shall not be kept in a front yard or exterior side
yard unless otherwise permitted by the Village where no feasible alternative
exists.
C.
Property owners must keep full enclosures and partial enclosures
in good repair and in a safe and structurally sound condition. Property
owners must maintain the effectiveness of vegetation screens by properly
caring for and replacing, as necessary, the plantings that serve as
screening devices.
D.
All dumpsters subject to this chapter shall be placed on a concrete
or other impervious pad.
E.
The size and placement of dumpsters and dumpster enclosures proposed
to be installed or placed on or after the effective date of this chapter
are subject to the approval of the Village of Harriman Planning Board
and shall be included as part of the Village site plan review procedures.
Violations of this chapter shall be punishable as provided in § 70-6 of the Village Code.
