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. |
