It is generally recognized that the types of fuel used, and
the scale and duration of burning by outdoor wood-burning furnaces,
create noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odors and air pollution,
can be detrimental to citizens' health, and can deprive neighboring
residents of the enjoyment of their property or premises. Therefore,
with the adoption of this chapter, it is the intention of the Town
Board of the Town of Beekman to establish and impose restrictions
upon the operation of outdoor wood-burning furnaces within the limits
of the Town of Beekman for the purpose of securing and promoting the
public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare and prosperity
of the Town and its inhabitants.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
OUTDOOR WOOD-BURNING FURNACE
Any accessory appliances, designed and intended, through
the burning of wood, for the purpose of heating the principal structure
or any other site, building, or structure on the premises.
The construction and operation of outdoor wood-burning furnaces
are hereby prohibited within the Town of Beekman.
