Every loading space visible from any lot zoned for residential
use, whether or not such residential use is within the Village, shall
be screened on all sides visible from any such lot by an opaque fence,
wall, or densely planted evergreen hedge of not less than six feet
in height, except as necessary for access.
All Class II vehicles stored in parking areas in residential districts shall be screened on all sides visible from any neighboring public or private property by an opaque fence, wall, or densely planted hedge of at least six feet in height, except as necessary for access. See §

[Amended 8-10-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-123]
Outdoor residential recreational facilities accessory to any dwelling located in any single-family residential district or business district shall be buffered and screened by a perimeter landscaped open space equal in width to the applicable required yard or 10 feet, whichever is less, and consisting of an opaque fence, wall, or densely planted evergreen hedge of not less than six feet in height in combination with other landscaping materials. Such screening shall be provided on all sides of such facility visible from any adjoining property or any public or private street. See §
22-16 of this chapter for additional requirements applicable to such facilities.
Ground-mounted antennas and antenna support structures, except such antennas and antenna support structures as are permitted pursuant to §
22-20 of this chapter, shall be buffered and screened by a perimeter landscaped open space equal in width to the applicable required yard or 10 feet, whichever is more, and consisting of a densely planted evergreen hedge of not less than six feet in height, in combination with other landscaping materials. Such screening shall be provided between any such ground-mounted antenna or antenna support structure and each lot line of the property on which such antenna or antenna support structure is located so as to provide the maximum reasonably achievable screening, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, of such antenna and antenna support structure from view from adjacent properties and public or private streets. See §§
22-19 and
22-20 of this chapter for additional requirements applicable to antennas and antenna support structures.
Except for antennas mounted on roofs pursuant to the provisions
of this chapter, all mechanical equipment located on the roof of any
building constructed after the effective date of this chapter shall
be fully screened by a parapet wall or other screening structure constructed
of the same materials as, or materials architecturally and aesthetically
compatible with, the principal building facade to the height of such
equipment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, in any
case where a lot to be devoted to any use other than use as a dwelling
abuts or is across a right-of-way from any lot zoned for residential
use within the Village, the use and development of the lot to be devoted
to the nondwelling use shall be subject to the following requirements:
A. Building setback. All buildings more than 15 feet in height shall
be set back from any front or corner side lot line facing a residential
district a distance equal to the setback normally required or to the
front yard required in the adjacent residential district, whichever
is greater, and, from any other yard line, a distance equal to the
yard normally required or 25 feet, whichever is greater.
B. Landscaping and screening. Any front or corner side yard or setback required pursuant to the preceding Subsection
A shall be treated as a perimeter landscaped open space. Any side or rear lot line abutting a dwelling use or a residential district shall be buffered by a perimeter landscaped open space of at least five feet in width along such lot line, which shall be sufficient to provide a screen at least six feet in height along the entire length of such line.
Any area of permitted outdoor activity likely to produce visual or auditory disturbance or annoyance on any abutting residential lot shall be separated from said lot by a perimeter landscaped open space at least 20 feet wide or by a buffer found by the Zoning Administrator to be reasonably sufficient to create a visual barrier to absorb and diffuse noise and to ensure the private enjoyment of said lot. (See also regulations for swimming pools in §
22-67.) The provisions of this section shall not apply to any use or structure established prior to the effective date of this chapter.
Except for accessory uses expressly permitted to be located
in required yards, all yards and open space between and about structures
and off-street parking and loading areas and lots shall be landscaped
and kept free of accumulations of garbage, trash, refuse, and debris.
Undeveloped areas shall be mowed and kept free of debris.
