excess of the above-listed measures may be required if, in the opinion
of the Planning and Zoning Commission, present or projected traffic
factors warrant a greater distance.
E.
Traffic control. The traffic generated by any use shall be channelized
and controlled in a manner which avoids congestion on public streets
and other safety hazards. Traffic into and out of all off-street parking,
loading and traffic circulation areas shall be forward moving, with
no backing into streets or pedestrianways. Traffic control devices,
such as signs, may be required as determined by the Planning and Zoning

avoid excessive grading, the promiscuous removal of ground cover and
tree growth, and the general leveling of the terrain. Tree removal
within the right-of-way shall be as required by the Village Board
where it is deemed necessary to obtain proper vision or additional
pavement width. All changes in street grades shall be connected by
vertical curves of a minimum length equivalent in feet to 15 times

Hazard removal. If a proposed street is to enter a village, county
or state arterial and it is deemed a hazardous entrance by the governing
body having jurisdiction over the street, it will be the responsibility
of the developer to correct the potential hazard through an agreement
with the governing body or relocate the proposed entrance to a more
suitable location approved by the governing body. Any vegetation obstructing
view within the vision triangle must be removed.
A.
Visual obstruction. No visual obstruction shall be located within a vision triangle. The vision triangle is a space formed by two existing or proposed right-of-way lines and a line joining the ends of such lines leaving a clear area [see Subsection A(2) below].

D.
Off-street parking and traffic circulation design standards.
(1)
Surfacing and marking. All off-street parking and traffic circulation
areas shall be paved with unit pavers, asphaltic concrete or portland
cement concrete. Surfaces intended for six or more parking stalls
shall be marked in a manner which clearly indicates required parking

overhang area at the end of the stalls with tire stops. All parking
spaces shall have a minimum vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
Lots must be paved and contain the minimum access drives of 24 feet

shall be provided at the time that any use is begun or building is
erected, an adequate supply of accompanying off-street parking stalls
for vehicles in accordance with all of the following:
A.
Location is to be on the same lot as the principal use. No parking
stall or driveway, except in residential districts, shall be closer
than 20 feet to a residential district lot line or a street right-of-way
opposite a residential district.
B.
All off-street parking areas shall be graded and surfaced so as to
be properly drained. Any parking area for more than six vehicles shall
have the aisles and spaces clearly marked.
C.
Traffic study to determine adequate off-street parking.
(1)
Adequate off-street parking shall be based upon a parking study conducted
by the builder, developer, or consultant, meeting all ADA and Village
requirements. The developer shall grant final approval of the parking
study. If the parking study should prove to be inadequate, resulting
in spillover to public right-of-way parking, then the parking may
need to be modified to accommodate the increased needs.
(2)
The parking spaces, defined by the parking study, shall be shown
on the site plan for approval by the Zoning Administrator and final
site plan approval granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission as
required.
D.

if such use or building is enlarged, extended, or increased, then
a new parking study shall be completed pursuant to the requirements
of this Section to ensure adequate off-street parking.
A.
All open off-street parking areas shall provide for accessible parking
spaces in accordance with state statutes and the federal requirements

Ten percent of the hard-surfaced parking lot area shall be landscaped
with trees, shrubs and ground cover. Green space shall be contained
within the hard-surface area.

One tree for every 10 parking stalls shall be provided.
C.
A landscape buffer shall be located between parking lots and public

of a compact hedgerow of shrubs. This landscape buffer is intended
to screen the view of parked vehicles and headlights from public rights-of-way.
D.
A fifteen-foot-wide minimum landscape planting screen shall be located
between parking lots and adjacent property line.
E.
In the event that a site is modified to accommodate a change associated
with a conditional use, rezoning, or building addition and/or modification,
changes in paving and landscaping shall be made to the total lot landscaping.
A.
Street trees. The developer shall plant at least one shade tree of
a species acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission and of
a caliper at least 2 1/2 to three inches for every 50 feet of frontage
on both sides of all streets proposed to be dedicated. The required
trees shall be planted in the street yard within 10 feet of the street
lot line in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. In addition the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Forester may accept tree plantings arranged in groupings
rather than spaced equally in rows, provided that the number of trees
shall be at least the number required as provided above. Extenuating
circumstances may require additional consideration.
B.
Planting screens. In some circumstances the Planning and Zoning Commission
may require a planting screen buffer between conflicting or contrasting
land uses and/or to provide visual and sound screening along highways
and major rights-of-way. Such plantings shall be placed within a designated
planting easement of adequate width and shall conform to plans required
as part of the preliminary plat/plan submittal and in accuracy and
detail sufficient for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

(1)
Planting screens may consist of compatible naturalistic groupings
of hardy plant material.
(2)
A diverse mixture of deciduous and evergreen tree and shrub varieties
shall be used.
(3)
Sizes shall be adequate for reasonable immediate effect.
(4)
Short-lived tree varieties are not acceptable (i.e., silver maple,
Lombardy poplar, box elder and Chinese elm).
(5)
All plans must be certified by a landscape architect.
A.
No excess grading. Excessive grading for the purpose of creating
lots on excessive slopes shall not be permitted.
B.
Grading at property line. In order to protect adjacent property owners
from possible damage due to changes in existing grades, no change
in the existing topography within 20 feet of the property line shall
result in the slope to a ratio greater than three horizontal to one
vertical. In no case shall any slope exceed the normal angle of slippage
of the soil involved. The exception to this shall be where retaining
walls are built with the written consent of the abutting property
owner and with the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

See definition of "structure, temporary" in Code § 590-180.
A.
The use of a temporary structure contributes to the total amount
of lot area used relative to any zoning bulk limitation.
B.
The use of a temporary structure must comply with the same setback
requirements that would apply to an accessory building.
C.
No temporary structure is allowed to fall into a state of disrepair,
including but not limited to the following: fallen or missing portions
of the structure; a vertical lean to the structure of 20° or more;
broken, rotted or rusted portions of the structure; substantially
flaked paint or faded materials; or other significant factor of poor
maintenance, workmanship or appearance that causes an eyesore, danger
or nuisance for the public.
D.
A temporary structure may only be used on a temporary basis and after
receipt of a zoning permit for such use of a temporary structure.
E.
Temporary structures in the G/I Government/Institutional District,
and in the I-1 Light Industrial District and the I-2 Heavy Industrial
District, are permitted via conditional use permits. In all other
districts, temporary structures are permitted via zoning permits that
shall be issued for only one term, and such term shall not exceed
six months.
