A.
Existing junkyards. Where a junkyard is visible from a public highway
or from neighboring properties an eight-foot-high fence shall be erected
of wood or other materials as approved by the Planning Board sufficient
to totally screen the junkyard from view. As an alternative, the Town
Board may permit such screening by adequate planting of evergreen
trees or shrubbery. Any fences erected shall have the supports and/or
braces therefore located on the inside or junkyard side of the fencing
material. Such fencing shall comply in all respects with other Town
ordinances and regulations.
B.
New junkyards. Before use, a new junkyard shall be completely surrounded
with a fence at least eight feet in height which substantially screens
and with a suitable gate which shall be closed and locked except during
the working hours of such junkyard or when the applicant or his agent
shall be within. Fences shall be erected and maintained by the property
owner in accordance with Planning Board regulations.
C.
Where the junkyard is not visible from a public highway or from neighboring
properties, and where the topography, natural growth of timber or
other considerations accomplish the purposes of this chapter in whole
or in part, the fencing requirements hereunder may be reduced by the
Town Board; provided, however, that such natural barrier accomplishes
and is consistent with the purposes and objectives of this chapter.
No materials shall be burned on a junkyard site except in compliance
with the New York State Outdoor Burning Law (see 6 NYCRR 215) and
county and local regulations as applicable.
No junkyard items shall be buried in a junkyard except in compliance
with the New York State Solid Waste Disposal Law. (See 6 NYCRR 360.)
No junkyard items shall be stored in any junk storage area other
than those items specified on a junkyard permit approved by the Town
Board pursuant to this chapter.
