ARTICLE II. SCREENING

Sec. 5-23. General requirements and exceptions.

To protect the use and development of abutting and adjacent property, a screen of hardy evergreen vegetation or an earthen berm, or any combination of either, shall be established and neatly maintained along the perimeter of the area occupied by an automobile graveyard or junkyard; provided, however:

(a) That when a common boundary exists between the areas used for storage by two (2) or more automobile graveyards or junkyards, the common boundary shall be exempt from the screening requirements.

(b) That where existing vegetation effectively meets the requirements of a perimeter screen as set forth above, no additional screen shall be required.

(c) That an area not exceeding a total of twenty feet (20') in width shall be exempt, when such area provides access to a gate constructed of opaque materials.

The screen established shall completely obscure the contents within the automobile graveyard or junkyard from view from the abutting and adjacent property and public rights-of-way.
