A.
One hundred fifty feet of any adjoining property line;
B.
Five hundred feet of any public park, church, educational
facility, nursing home, public building or other place of public gathering;
C.
Two hundred fifty feet of any stream, lake, pond,
wetland or other body of water; or

There must be erected and maintained an eight-foot
fence enclosing the entire junkyard with a locking gate, adequate
to prohibit the entrance of children and others into the area of the
activity or business, and to contain within such fence the materials
dealt with by the operator of the junkyard. Fencing requirements may
be waived where topography or other natural conditions effectively
prohibit the entrance of children and others.
Where a junkyard is or would be visible from a public highway or from neighboring properties, the fence provided in § 105-7 above shall be of wood or other materials sufficient to totally screen the junkyard from view. Such screening may be permitted by adequate planting of evergreen trees or shrubbery.
No materials shall be burned in a junkyard.
No junkyard items shall be buried in a junkyard.
[Amended 2-25-2020 by L.L. No. 1-2020]
No junkyard items shall be stored in any junk
storage area other than those items specified on a junkyard permit
approved by the Town Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant
to this chapter.
