[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Manchester 11-8-2006 by L.L.
No. 4-2006 (Ch. 63 of the 1980 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
Although outdoor furnaces may provide an economical alternative
to conventional heating systems, concerns have been raised regarding
the safety and environmental impacts of these heating devices, particularly
in relation to the production of offensive odors and the potential
health effects of pollutants and uncontrolled emissions. This chapter
is intended to establish and impose restrictions upon the construction
and operation of outdoor wood-burning furnaces within the limits of
the Village of Manchester 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:
A wood-fired or solid-fuel-fired boiler in a small insulated
shed with a smoke stack used to heat water carried into a building
through underground or aboveground pipes for the purpose of heating
a home, building, domestic hot water use, swimming pool, Jacuzzi or
hot tub.
The construction and operation of outdoor wood-burning furnaces
are hereby prohibited within the Village of Manchester.
An offense against the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed
a violation, and the person convicted of such violation shall be subject
to a fine of not more than $100. Each week's continued violation shall
be, for this purpose, a separate and distinct violation subject to
said fine.
