nature of a fence or wall or connected in any way with a fence or
a wall shall be hereafter erected on any premises which shall exceed
six feet in height, except entrance piers and gates not exceeding
eight feet in height shall be permitted. A sculpture or decorative
shape may be added to the top of a conforming entrance post or pier
if such addition does not result in any overall height exceeding 10
feet. All measurements shall be made from preexisting undisturbed

facing adjoining property or public or private roads. No supports,
posts or bracing shall be placed on the same side of the fence that

street line are permitted as long as they do not exceed four feet
in height. Barbed-wire fencing is not permitted.

[Amended 7-9-1997 by L.L. No. 3-1997; 3-14-2001 by L.L. No. 7-2001; 1-7-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015]
A. The Village Board of Trustees hereby finds that the storage of mobile
homes, recreational vehicles, unregistered vehicles and trailers of
any kind, except boat trailers, adversely affects the environment
and community by creating a visual or environmental detriment. These
visual and environmental detriments impair the beneficial use of real
property in such areas, impair the stability and value of both the
improved and unimproved real property in such areas, and produce a
degeneration of the property and aesthetic character of such area
and impair the proper relationship between the taxable value of real
property in the community and the cost of municipal services provided
therefor. These detriments, singly and in combinations, result in
a deterioration of conditions affecting the health, safety, morals
and general welfare of the inhabitants of the community.
B. No automobile trailer, travel trailer, or mobile home designed to
be used for human habitation, unregistered motor vehicle, or commercial
truck, crane, excavator, bulldozer, or similar construction equipment,
or trailers of any kind, except boat trailers, or dumpsters shall
be used, stored or parked in any residence district for more than
14 days total during any calendar year unless stored or parked within
a fully enclosed private garage building or unless screen planting
is provided sufficient to occlude the view of the item from all points
off the premises, and the item's location meets all setback and other
provisions of the Village Code. Construction site trailers are not
permitted in any manner, unless used in connection with a bona fide
construction project, and their use shall be specifically approved
by the Architectural Review Board. All dumpsters shall be covered
so as to prevent any refuse from overflowing the container.
C. No trailer or mobile home may be used for overnight habitation.
D. No automobile or vehicle that is nonoperable, unregistered or stored
outside with a cover may be parked or stored for a period exceeding
14 days total during any calendar year unless it is kept inside a
private garage or enclosure or set back from private or public view.
E. No portable storage container may be stored or parked in any residence
district for more than a total of 30 days during any calendar year
unless stored or parked at a location where the container is concealed
at all times from neighboring property.
[Amended 7-9-1997 by L.L. No. 3-1997; 3-14-2001 by L.L. No.
4-2001]
A. Except on property legally permitted for club purposes,
no boat exceeding 16 feet in length may be stored or parked outside
in any residence district for more than nine months in any one calendar
year.
B. Any boat {regardless of size) stored or parked outside
for more than 30 days in the Residence A-1 District must be substantially
screened from public or neighboring view by means of evergreen plantings
of sufficient density and maturity to substantially screen the boat
from view. Any boat in the Residence A-2 District shall be set back
from the street line a minimum of 20 feet.
C. No more than one boat of any length may be stored
on each residential parcel unless kept inside a private garage or
enclosure screened or set back from private or public view.
[Added 7-9-1997 by L.L. No. 3-1997]
A. A permanent or nonpermanent backboard/hoop must meet the minimum setback and permitting requirements set forth in §

A-2 District shall be set back at least 20 feet from every property
line (or the edge of pavement in the case of a road or street); and
(2)
A nonpermanent backboard/hoop shall not require
a permit if in the judgment of the Building Inspector the assembly
is so insubstantial as not to require a permit.
B. Hours of use are restricted to between the hours of
9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. unless the basketball backboard is 125 feet
away from the nearest adjoining property line.
For the purposes of this chapter, a "berm" is
a quantity of clean dirt, stone, fill or other material or combination
of material that is located less than 20 feet from a property line.
A. Unless a building permit has been issued, no berm
in excess of two feet above natural grade shall be constructed in
the Village within 20 feet of any property line.
B. The berm shall be landscaped on all sides with living
ground cover and it shall be maintained in a neat and clean manner
on all sides by the property owner.

resolution rules regulating the hours of work, notice to adjoining
owners, permitted noise levels and application fees. Only those activities
demonstrated to be brief, nondisruptive to the peace and quiet of
the Village and safe shall be permitted.
