No garbage/trash receptacles, containers, or compactors, garbage
collection areas, grease recycling collectors may be located in a
front or side yard unless located in an existing enclosure or if the
existing developed site does not afford any other option; in such
a case, the trash receptacle should be located in the side yard if
possible and must comply with the screening requirements of this Section.
The City Administrator, based on the Community Development Department's
site inspection and recommendation, will have the authority to grant
an administrative variance where it is demonstrated that screening
is impossible, or impractical, or would not serve the intent of this
Section. After a request, in writing, for such relief, the City Administrator
and the Community Development Department will notify the applicant
of the determination, in writing, within thirty (30) days.
The wall, fence, or natural barrier shall be maintained in a
neat, clean, sanitary, and proper mechanical condition at all times.
Such maintenance, shall include, but is not limited to: replacing
or repairing any missing or damaged boards, posts, concrete blocks
or hinges, painted or stained wooden, metal, or concrete, and screening
shall be maintained in a well-painted and stained condition, and removing
and replacing any dead or diseased portions of a natural barrier.
The City may require specific maintenance if necessary to eliminate
an unsightly or dangerous condition.
Temporary trash receptacles for special events, construction
sites, parcel demolition or clean up, and similar, at the discretion
of the Building Official or Code Enforcement Officer, are not required
to comply with this Section.
