It is generally recognized that the types of
fuel used, and that the scale and duration of burning by outdoor furnaces,
creates 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 Village
of Rhinebeck Board of Trustees to prohibit the construction and operation
of outdoor furnaces within the limits of the Village 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:
OUTDOOR FURNACE
An accessory structure designed and intended for the burning
of combustibles of any nature whatsoever for the purpose of heating
the principal structure or any other site, building or structure on
the premises.
VIOLATOR
Any person who constructs or operates an outdoor furnace
in the Village of Rhinebeck or who permits the same or who owns or
occupies real property in the Village upon which an outdoor furnace
