A. 
Purpose and intent. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Rockville Centre finds that it is necessary to regulate the installation and location of outdoor central heating, ventilating, or air-conditioning (hereinafter referred to as "central air conditioning") equipment at one- and two-family dwellings to protect and preserve property within the Village as described in this section. As used in this section, the term "central air conditioning" shall mean a heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning system, located in whole or in part outside the dwelling, which consists of heat exchangers, blowers, filters, supply, exhaust and return ducts to distribute heated, cooled or dehumidified air to more than one room, or uses pipes to distribute chilled water to heat exchangers in more than one room, and which is not plugged into a standard electrical outlet.
B. 
Central air-conditioning and other related mechanical equipment or systems at one- or two-family dwellings shall be installed, located and maintained, or replaced, so that under normal conditions of use such equipment and systems will not be a danger to health or welfare and will not create excessive noise or otherwise become a nuisance. Related equipment or systems include, but are not limited to, apparatus, devices, fixtures, piping, pipe hangers, pipe covering, wiring, fittings and materials used as part of or in connection with central air-conditioning installations.
C. 
Moving parts of central air-conditioning equipment which may be a potential hazard shall be guarded as may be required by the Superintendent of Buildings to protect against accidental contact.
D. 
Location. All outdoor compressors used in connection with central air-conditioning systems shall be installed at grade and shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet from the front property line and a minimum of 15 feet from the rear property line. No outdoor compressor may be located in a side yard unless it is located not more than six feet from the dwelling and at least three feet from the nearest property line, except that in the case of a corner lot an outdoor compressor may be located in a side yard which abuts two streets, provided that it is located not more than six feet from the dwelling and at least 10 feet from the nearest property line.
[Amended 4-3-2012 by L.L. No. 1-2012]
E. 
In addition to any other requirement for a building permit, no person shall install or replace central-air conditioning equipment at a one- or two-family dwelling without first obtaining a permit as provided by this section.
F. 
Central air-conditioning permits shall be issued by the Superintendent of Buildings upon written application, which shall include, at a minimum:
(1) 
A completed building application form, including a completed one-family affidavit and a no-plumbing affidavit, if applicable;
(2) 
Proof that the contractor is duly licensed to perform the proposed installation, and documentation of the contractor's workers' compensation policy and liability insurance policy;
(3) 
Two copies of an accurate and legible survey prepared by a duly authorized person indicating with sufficient clarity and detail the location of the air-conditioning equipment;
(4) 
An electrical underwriter's application, including a current copy of the electrician's worker's compensation policy and liability insurance policy;
(5) 
Such other information as the Superintendent of Buildings shall require as reasonably necessary to the determination whether a permit should issue hereunder, including documentation demonstrating that the levels of sound emitted by the proposed unit(s) complies with the requirements of this Code; and
[Amended 4-3-2012 by L.L. No. 1-2012]
(6) 
Payment of any required permit fee.
G. 
In granting a permit pursuant to this section, the Superintendent of Buildings may impose reasonable requirements for the remediation of sound when such remediation is necessary in the opinion of the Superintendent of Buildings to protect occupants of adjoining properties. Such requirements may include, but are not limited to, the integration of sound-deadening materials or sound-absorbing materials, or the addition of landscaping or other buffering.
H. 
In granting any permit pursuant to this section for replacement of an existing central air-conditioning system, the Superintendent of Buildings may waive or vary the setback requirements otherwise required by this section, upon satisfactory demonstration that the existing central air-conditioning unit:
(1) 
Is being replaced in kind; and
(2) 
Was lawfully installed
I. 
Upon completion of the installation authorized by a permit described in this section, submission of a completed underwriter's certificate, and payment of any applicable fee, the Superintendent of Buildings shall issue a notice of completion.
[Added 10-6-2014 by L.L. No. 8-2014]
A. 
A professionally landscaped green space buffer shall be located and maintained on every property in a nonresidential zoning district or used for nonresidential purposes and which adjoins property in a residential district or used for residential purposes.
B. 
Such buffer shall consist of a minimum depth of five feet from the property line between the properties, and shall be located and maintained along the entire length of the lot line and/or boundary separation between the properties. The buffer area may contain suitable trees, shrubs and grass, and shall include a six-foot-high fence of suitable design located on the property line separating the nonresidential property from the adjoining residential property.
C. 
Where the approval of the Board of Appeals, Planning Board, or Exterior Design Review Board is required for the use of the nonresidential property, each such board shall have jurisdiction to enforce this requirement and approve the proposed buffer. Where no approval is required from any of such boards, the Building Department shall enforce this requirement and approve the proposed buffer before any building permit issued for construction on the nonresidential property.
D. 
The requirements of this section shall not be applicable to nonresidential properties adjacent to residential properties if the nonresidential property is lawfully being used without such buffer at the time of adoption of this section. However, in the event of any subsequent construction, enlargement or alteration of any building or structure on such property, or other development of such property requiring a permit or approval from the Village, such buffer shall be required to be installed and maintained as provided in this section unless determined by the appropriate authority not to be feasible after consideration of existing conditions on the site.
E. 
Where adjoining properties in a residential district and in a nonresidential district lawfully are being used for a common use, the buffer zone required by this section shall be located along each exterior property line of such property which separates such entire property from any adjoining residential use or district.
