Any lot containing a principal use and principal structure may
also contain such incidental uses that are customarily affiliated
with but subordinate to the principal use or principal structure.
The determination of such uses shall be at the discretion of the Zoning
Administrator.
Within the vision corner, the following clearances shall be
observed:
A. No obstructions shall be permitted except for landscape materials
and fences as regulated by this chapter.
B. No signs shall be permitted within the vision corner.
C. Shrubs and other understory vegetation shall not exceed three feet
in height and shall be largely see-through, defined as no more than
10% opacity.
D. All new trees and existing deciduous trees shall be kept free of
branches up to a height of at least eight feet above the ground or
60% of their overall height, whichever is less, so that trees located
do not create a traffic hazard. Coniferous (evergreen) trees shall
be avoided.
The following requirements and regulations shall apply to all
zoning districts unless specifically stated otherwise. Determination
of potential or actual noncompliance with such regulations shall be
made by the Zoning Administrator. No use established on the effective
date of this chapter shall be so altered or modified as to conflict
with or further conflict with the performance standards established
hereafter.
A. No activity or operation shall be established or maintained which
by reason of its nature or manner of operation will cause the emission
of noise, odor, toxic or noxious fumes, smoke, dust and particulate
matter in such concentrations as to be detrimental to or endanger
the public health, welfare, comfort, and safety, or cause injury to
property or business.
B. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area or sign
shall be arranged so as to deflect light away from any adjoining residential
property or from the public streets. Direct or sky-reflected glare,
whether from floodlights or from high-temperature processes, such
as combustion or welding, shall not be directed into any adjoining
property.
C. All overhead lighting shall be downward directional to minimize sky-reflected
glare and direct light away from adjoining properties.
D. No activities involving the storage, utilization or manufacture of
materials, goods or products which could decompose by detonation shall
be permitted except such as are specifically licensed by the Village
Board.
E. No activity or operation shall cause earth vibrations perceptible
beyond the limits of the lot upon which the operation is located.
F. All fabrication, manufacturing, processing, or production shall be
undertaken substantially within enclosed buildings.
G. All waste material, debris, refuse, or garbage not disposed of through
the sanitary sewerage system shall be kept in an enclosed building
or properly contained in a closed container designed for such purpose.
H. All waste material, debris, refuse, or garbage stored in outside
refuse bins must be located behind the principal structure and screened
from view by use of an enclosed building, solid screening, or opaque
fencing material. Plastic or wooden slats through cyclone fencing
shall not be deemed sufficient.
I. All compost piles stored outside must be located behind the principal
structure and contained within a freestanding enclosure constructed
of concrete blocks, brick, wood, woven wire, or durable plastic.
J. All compost piles shall be maintained so as not to cause unpleasant
odors or attract animals and shall be no taller than five feet high
and be no larger in volume than 125 cubic feet.
K. No land shall be developed and no use shall be permitted that results
in water runoff, flooding, or erosion on adjacent properties. Such
runoff shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse,
ponding area, or other public facilities.
L. Animal boarding facilities, animal grooming facilities, animal hospitals,
and veterinary clinics or offices shall be required to be soundproofed
to ensure that the noise levels associated with the use do not interfere
with the health, welfare, and safety of adjoining properties.
M. Any access drive for a car wash shall be at least 30 feet from any
public street intersection, measured from the interior curb line commencing
at the intersection of the street. Water from the car wash shall not
drain across any sidewalk or into a public right-of-way.
N. Lock box system required.
(1) Unless exempted by written order of the Chief of the Village of Denmark
Fire Department, and in order to eliminate forced entries to structures
and to avoid costly and time-consuming efforts in gaining access to
locked structures during times of emergency, the following structures
shall be equipped with a key lock box system at or near the main entrance
or at any other such location which may be required by the Fire Chief
or any other representative of the Fire Department.

All newly constructed commercial and industrial structures and
places of assembly protected by an automatic fire alarm system or

that restricts access during an emergency;

have restricted access through locked doors and have a common corridor
for access to the living quarters;
(c)
All newly constructed health care facilities; and
(d)
All existing structures undertaking additions, alterations or
repairs which shall cause the same to conform with the then-current
provisions of any of the building or property maintenance codes adopted
by the Village.
(2) All structures subject hereto shall be required to install a key
lock box system prior to the issuance of any occupancy permit which
shall then be functional at all times thereafter.
(3) "Lock box" means a key lock box manufactured by the Knox® Company of Irvine, California, or any successor
company which manufactures a compatible system.
(4) The owner or operator of any structure subject hereto shall, at all
times, keep a key in the lock box that will permit access to the structure.
(5) The owner or operator of any structure hereto shall notify Fire Department
of any changes to the key lock box system.
(6) The Fire Chief shall be authorized to implement rules and regulations
governing the use of any key lock box system.
