not exceeding a total of 15 gallons of such materials at any one property.
No storage permitted pursuant to this paragraph shall be within a
principal dwelling. Any such storage structure shall be located in
a lawful garage, or in side yard or rear yard at a location conforming
to applicable setback requirements, and shall not be located in a
front yard.
(3) Storage
of such materials outdoors, below ground: The Code Official may permit
storage of fuel oil (including fuel oil for heating), diesel fuel,
propane or liquid natural gas, or gasoline, provided that such storage
and the quantity thereof conforms to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. Storage of any such materials shall be in containers
conforming to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and approved
by the Code Official. Any such storage containers shall be located
in a side yard or rear yard in conformity with requirements for setback
of structures and shall not be located in a front yard.
(4) Storage
of such materials indoors, below ground: The Code Official may permit
storage of fuel oil (including fuel oil for heating), diesel fuel,

fans or other related equipment in windows or doorways leading to
fire escapes.
D. Park or store motor vehicles under fire escapes.
Interior finish materials for acoustical correction,

[Added 3-12-2001 by L.L. No. 3-2001]
Every principal structure located within the
Village of Great Neck Estates shall have and display at least one
street number assigned to such structure by the Village Clerk of the
Village of Great Neck Estates. Such numbers must be prominently displayed
on the front of each such structure or at such other location as is
permitted by this section. All nonresidential properties shall display
such number at the main entrance to the structure, and at any other
location required by this section.
A. In any case where the location of the street number
display required by this section is not clearly visible from the adjoining
street or is more than 75 feet from the right-of-way of the adjoining
street, such number shall be displayed on a post, not to exceed five
feet in height, and installed in close proximity to the property access,
and at a point no less than five feet nor greater than 25 feet from
the right-of-way. Property numbers displayed on mailboxes are acceptable
as compliance with this section, provided that the numbers are of
the minimum size and visibility as required by this section and located
as required by this section. All required property numbers shall be
visible from the street and be located sufficiently distant from shrubs,
fences, trees and other obstructions so that the clear visibility
of the number from the street shall not be obscured.
B. All property numbers shall be Arabic in design only,
with a minimum of five inches in height and shall sharply contrast
in color from the structure or other surface upon which the number
is mounted. Script numbers shall not be permitted. All property numbers
shall be displayed with reflective surfaces which will permit or enhance
the visibility of such numbers in the absence of sufficient daylight.
C. In the case of any principal structure constructed,
or altered, or expanded, on or after the adoption of this section,
no temporary or final certificate of occupancy will be issued for
such structure until the Code Official has verified that such property
number has been properly installed. Furthermore, no inspection for
new construction will be provided unless the property number is installed
and displayed in a prominent location on the site prior to inspection.
The Code Official may accept temporary numbers prior to inspection
where, in the opinion of the Code Official, it is appropriate to do
so because the installation of a permanent number is not feasible
due to impending or incomplete construction.
D. Any owner of property on which the required property
number is not displayed as required by this section shall be guilty
of a violation of this Code; provided, however, that a warning notice,
rather than a summons or appearance ticket, shall be issued for the
first such violation at any property.
E. The Code Official is hereby authorized to grant exemptions
or variations from the requirements of this section with respect to
size and location of property numbers where the Code Official determines
that public safety would not be impacted adversely, and where the
Code Official determines that the size and location of the property
numbers will adequately provide for visibility from the adjacent street.
A written record shall be maintained by the Village of all such exemptions
and variations.
