B. 
Such special permit shall be issued for the keeping of any of such animals on any lot only in the following two cases:
(1) 
Where such animals were being lawfully kept on such lot prior to the enactment of the article;
(2) 
Where such animals were being lawfully kept on such lot after the enactment of the article in an area in which there were not three residences within a distance of 500 feet of the structure enclosing such animals and subsequently other residences were built bringing the structure housing the animals within a restricted district.

A. 
Every stable or other building wherein any animal listed in § 121-1 is kept shall be constructed of such material and in such manner that it can be kept clean and sanitary at all times.
B. 
Every such stable or other building occupied by authority of a special permit shall, if located within 200 feet of any tenement or apartment house, hotel, restaurant, boarding house, retail food store, building used for school, religious or hospital purposes, or residence other than that occupied by the owner or occupant of the premises upon which said creatures are kept, be provided with a watertight and flytight receptacle for manure, of such dimension as to contain all accumulations of manure, which receptacle shall be emptied sufficiently often and in such manner as to prevent its becoming a nuisance. Said receptacle shall be kept securely covered at all times except when open during the deposit or removal of manure or refuse. No manure shall be allowed to accumulate except in such receptacle.
