[Amended 8-18-2008 by L.L. No. 3-2008; 11-18-2019 by L.L. No. 9-2019]
A. The storage of garbage containing waste materials, rubbish and all
types of refuse containers shall be separate from all adjoining lots
or rights-of-way by a screening device not less than four feet in
height or otherwise contained within an enclosed structure, except
during such times as are designated for the removal of contents. No
unpleasant or noxious odors are permitted beyond lot lines. Outdoor
storage shall not be located within a required yard or transition
area.
B. Personal on demand storage (PODS® or
similar portable outdoor storage containers commonly used for moving
and storage of personal property).
(1)
For purposes hereof, personal on demand storage ("PODS®") shall mean a portable shed, trailer, cargo
container or similar storage facility that is capable of being loaded
with materials and placed on a residential property for the purpose
of storing materials.
(2)
A resident shall be allowed to have a PODS® for 14 days without need of a permit as long as its use is to assist
with the moving into or out of the dwelling, or any other lawful use
not dealing with construction or catastrophe as described below. After
the fourteen-day period, the owner must submit an application to the
Code Enforcement Officer to receive a permit which authorizes additional
use of the PODS® for a period of time
not to exceed 30 days.
(3)
A resident shall be allowed to have PODS® in conjunction with an active building permit issued for residential
construction or renovation at a site. A permit shall be required,
which permit shall run concurrent with the length of the building
permit.
(4)
In the event of a catastrophe (fire, water, storm damage, or
other similar occurrence) PODS® are
allowed without permit for 30 days. After the thirty-day period, a
permit will be required upon application to the Code Enforcement Officer
and PODS® will only be permitted in
conjunction with a building permit.
(5)
PODS® are prohibited from being
placed in the street, or in a location that blocks a public sidewalk
or obstructs the view at any driveway or street intersection. PODS® placed in a front yard must be located within
the established driveway outside of the street line. PODS® located in a side or rear yard are subject to
lot line setback requirements. The Code Enforcement Officer may waive
these requirements in the event of catastrophe.
(6)
Absent catastrophe or a building permit justifying the need,
only one PODS® unit shall be permitted
on a residential property at a time.
(7)
A PODS® permit fee shall be established
by the Village Board.
C. Building materials of any kind shall not be collected nor allowed
to accumulate on any property except in connection with an active
building permit.
Existing buildings, structures and uses previously authorized by special approvals, including variances, special permits, site plan approvals and other similar approvals, shall be subject to the provisions of Article
XIII, Nonconforming Elements, relative to modifications.
No animals, other than domestic animals as defined in §
380-5 of this chapter shall be maintained, housed or harbored in the Village of Liverpool.
