It is generally recognized that the types of fuel used, and
the scale and duration of burning by outdoor solid-fuel-burning furnaces,
creates noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odors and air pollution,
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 LeRoy Board of Trustees to establish and impose restrictions upon
the construction and operation of outdoor solid-fuel-burning furnaces
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 SOLID-FUEL-BURNING FURNACE
An accessory structure, designed and intended, through the
burning of any solid fuels, including but not limited to wood, coal,
trash, plastic, particle board, yard wastes and paper products, for
the purpose of heating or providing energy to a principal structure,
or any other building, site or structure on the premises on which
the said accessory structure is located.
The installation, construction and operation of outdoor solid-fuel-burning
furnaces are hereby prohibited within the Village of LeRoy, other
