Any container intended for the purpose of storing or keeping
household goods and other personal property, or construction material
and tools, that is intended to be filled, refilled, or emptied while
located outdoors on a property within the Village.
Any person, firm or entity desiring a permit to place or maintain
a storage container shall file an application with the Building Department.
The form shall be furnished by the Building Department and shall be
sworn to and filed by the applicant with the Building Department,
together with an application fee of $200.
A storage container may not be more than 160 square feet and no more
than 8.6 feet in height, or such other size as may be determined by
the Building Inspector.
The storage container shall be set back from any side yard property
line a minimum of five feet and from the front property right-of-way
of the Village by a minimum of five feet and also by a minimum of
five feet away from any structures on the property, but in each case
the final location shall be subject to the approval of the Building
Inspector. In granting any permit, the Building Inspector shall protect
the rights of adjacent property owners so that there shall not be
any unreasonable deprivation of privacy, light, air or enjoyable use
of adjacent property. The Building Inspector shall have the discretion
to require additional screening to obstruct the eyeview of the permitted
storage container from neighboring properties.
The Building Inspector is hereby authorized, in the exercise of reasonable
discretion, to revoke any permit issued hereunder if, after due investigation,
he deems that the holder thereof has violated any provisions of this
subsection, in that the storage container is being maintained in an
unsafe manner or is a nuisance. Written notice of said revocation
shall be given, either by personal service upon the person to be notified
or by depositing said notice in the United States mail in a sealed
envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to such person at the address
which appears on the records of the Building Department.
The length of time a storage container shall be permitted to remain shall be 90 days from the issuance of a permit. An extension beyond 90 days shall be renewed in the same manner as a building permit pursuant to the applicable sections of the Village Code, as set forth in Subsection C above, and will be considered upon application to the Building Department along with the payment of an additional fee of $200 or higher based on the then current facts and circumstances after consultation with the Building Inspector and Village Clerk.
