It is generally recognized that the types of
fuel used and the scale and duration of burning by outdoor woodburning
furnace devices create noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odors
and air pollution and can be detrimental to citizens' health
and can deprive neighboring residents of the enjoyment of their property
or premises. Therefore, with the adoption of this chapter, it is the
intention of the Village of Naples Board of Trustees to establish
and impose restrictions upon the construction and operation of outdoor
woodburning furnace devices within the limits of the Village for the
purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, convenience,
safety, welfare and prosperity of the Village and its inhabitants.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
OUTDOOR FURNACE DEVICE
Any contrivance, apparatus or part thereof, including a boiler,
fire box, exchanger, grate, fuel gun, fuel nozzle, chimney, smoke
pipe, smokestack, exhaust conduit and like devices, used for the burning
of combustible fuels for the creation of heat or energy from an exterior
location into an interior location.
