A.
Purpose and intent. The Board of Trustees of the Village
of Rockville Centre finds that it is necessary to regulate the installation
and location of outdoor central heating, ventilating, or air-conditioning
(hereinafter referred to as "central air conditioning") equipment
at one- and two-family dwellings to protect and preserve property
within the Village as described in this section. As used in this section,
the term "central air conditioning" shall mean a heating, ventilating
and/or air conditioning system, located in whole or in part outside
the dwelling, which consists of heat exchangers, blowers, filters,
supply, exhaust and return ducts to distribute heated, cooled or dehumidified
air to more than one room, or uses pipes to distribute chilled water
to heat exchangers in more than one room, and which is not plugged
into a standard electrical outlet.
B.
Central air-conditioning and other related mechanical
equipment or systems at one- or two-family dwellings shall be installed,
located and maintained, or replaced, so that under normal conditions
of use such equipment and systems will not be a danger to health or
welfare and will not create excessive noise or otherwise become a
nuisance. Related equipment or systems include, but are not limited
to, apparatus, devices, fixtures, piping, pipe hangers, pipe covering,
wiring, fittings and materials used as part of or in connection with
central air-conditioning installations.
C.
Moving parts of central air-conditioning equipment
which may be a potential hazard shall be guarded as may be required
by the Superintendent of Buildings to protect against accidental contact.
D.
Location. All outdoor compressors used in connection
with central air-conditioning systems shall be installed at grade
and shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet from the front property
line and a minimum of 15 feet from the rear property line. No outdoor
compressor may be located in a side yard unless it is located not
more than six feet from the dwelling and at least three feet from
the nearest property line, except that in the case of a corner lot
an outdoor compressor may be located in a side yard which abuts two
streets, provided that it is located not more than six feet from the
dwelling and at least 10 feet from the nearest property line.
[Amended 4-3-2012 by L.L. No. 1-2012]
E.
In addition to any other requirement for a building
permit, no person shall install or replace central-air conditioning
equipment at a one- or two-family dwelling without first obtaining
a permit as provided by this section.
F.
Central air-conditioning permits shall be issued by
the Superintendent of Buildings upon written application, which shall
include, at a minimum:
(1)
A completed building application form, including
a completed one-family affidavit and a no-plumbing affidavit, if applicable;
(2)
Proof that the contractor is duly licensed to
perform the proposed installation, and documentation of the contractor's
workers' compensation policy and liability insurance policy;
(3)
Two copies of an accurate and legible survey
prepared by a duly authorized person indicating with sufficient clarity
and detail the location of the air-conditioning equipment;
(4)
An electrical underwriter's application, including
a current copy of the electrician's worker's compensation policy and
liability insurance policy;
(5)
Such other information as the Superintendent
of Buildings shall require as reasonably necessary to the determination
whether a permit should issue hereunder, including documentation demonstrating
that the levels of sound emitted by the proposed unit(s) complies
with the requirements of this Code; and
[Amended 4-3-2012 by L.L. No. 1-2012]
(6)
Payment of any required permit fee.
G.
In granting a permit pursuant to this section, the
Superintendent of Buildings may impose reasonable requirements for
the remediation of sound when such remediation is necessary in the
opinion of the Superintendent of Buildings to protect occupants of
adjoining properties. Such requirements may include, but are not limited
to, the integration of sound-deadening materials or sound-absorbing
materials, or the addition of landscaping or other buffering.
H.
In granting any permit pursuant to this section for
replacement of an existing central air-conditioning system, the Superintendent
of Buildings may waive or vary the setback requirements otherwise
required by this section, upon satisfactory demonstration that the
existing central air-conditioning unit:
I.
Upon completion of the installation authorized by
a permit described in this section, submission of a completed underwriter's
certificate, and payment of any applicable fee, the Superintendent
of Buildings shall issue a notice of completion.
[Added 10-6-2014 by L.L. No. 8-2014]
A.
A professionally landscaped green space buffer shall be located and
maintained on every property in a nonresidential zoning district or
used for nonresidential purposes and which adjoins property in a residential
district or used for residential purposes.
B.
Such buffer shall consist of a minimum depth of five feet from the
property line between the properties, and shall be located and maintained
along the entire length of the lot line and/or boundary separation
between the properties. The buffer area may contain suitable trees,
shrubs and grass, and shall include a six-foot-high fence of suitable
design located on the property line separating the nonresidential
property from the adjoining residential property.
C.
Where the approval of the Board of Appeals, Planning Board, or Exterior
Design Review Board is required for the use of the nonresidential
property, each such board shall have jurisdiction to enforce this
requirement and approve the proposed buffer. Where no approval is
required from any of such boards, the Building Department shall enforce
this requirement and approve the proposed buffer before any building
permit issued for construction on the nonresidential property.
D.
The requirements of this section shall not be applicable to nonresidential
properties adjacent to residential properties if the nonresidential
property is lawfully being used without such buffer at the time of
adoption of this section. However, in the event of any subsequent
construction, enlargement or alteration of any building or structure
on such property, or other development of such property requiring
a permit or approval from the Village, such buffer shall be required
to be installed and maintained as provided in this section unless
determined by the appropriate authority not to be feasible after consideration
of existing conditions on the site.
E.
Where adjoining properties in a residential district and in a nonresidential
district lawfully are being used for a common use, the buffer zone
required by this section shall be located along each exterior property
line of such property which separates such entire property from any
adjoining residential use or district.
