[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
The following are minimum standards for all
operations commenced after the effective date of this chapter and,
to the extent reasonable, for all preexisting operations continued
thereafter.
The minimum setback shall be 500 feet. Particularly
when the operations adjoin residentially developed land or residentially
zoned land, the Board shall carefully consider whether greater setbacks
are required.
No slope shall exceed a three-to-one ratio of
horizontal distance to vertical distance; provided, however, that
this requirement shall not apply to rock faces, and further provided
that the Village Board, for good cause shown, may modify this requirement.
No operation shall be conducted in such a manner
as to cause any significant loss, harm or damage to neighboring property
owners, or to the Village, or to the public health, safety or welfare,
or create a serious risk of such loss, harm or damage.
No plan of reclamation shall be approved unless
it will result in a safe, useful and aesthetically pleasing site.
