Special Permit Uses
§ 165-35 Permitted special use requirements.
The special uses for which conformance with additional standards is required by this Part 1 shall be deemed to be permitted uses in their respective districts subject to the satisfaction of the requirements and standards set forth herein, in addition to all other requirements of this Part 1. All such uses are declared to possess characteristics of such unique and special forms that each specific use shall be considered as an individual case.
§ 165-36 Application for special permit.
Application for required special permits shall be made to the Village Board. Each such application shall be referred to the Planning Board for a report, after receipt of which the Village Board may authorize the Building Inspector to issue a permit, provided that the Village Board shall find that all of the following conditions and standards have been met:
A.
The location and size of the use, the nature and intensity of the operations involved in or conducted in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it are such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the district in which it is located.
B.
The location, nature and height of buildings, walls and fences and the nature and extent of the landscaping on the site are such that the use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings.
C.
Operations in connection with any special use will not be more objectionable to nearby properties than would be the operations of any permitted use not requiring a special permit.
D.
Parking space will be of adequate size for the particular use, properly located and suitable screened from adjoining residential uses, and the entrance and exit drives will be laid out so as to achieve maximum safety.
E.
Adequate arrangements for maintenance of the premises, for refuse removal and for sewage disposal will be provided.
F.
Each applicant for a special permit shall pay the Village a fee in an amount to be fixed from time to time by the Village Board.
§ 165-37 Required plan.
A plan for the proposed development of a lot for a permitted special use shall be submitted with an application for a special permit. The plan shall show the location of all existing and proposed structures, trees, parking space, traffic access and circulation drives, open spaces, landscaping, topography, special features and any other pertinent information about neighboring properties that may be necessary to determine and provide for the enforcement of this Part 1.
§ 165-38 Conditions and safeguards.
The Village Board shall attach such conditions and safeguards to the special permit as are necessary to assure continual conformance with all applicable standards and requirements.
§ 165-39 Expiration of special permits.
A special permit shall be deemed to authorize only the particular use or uses specified in the permit and shall expire if said use or uses shall cease for more than six months for any reason or if any of the conditions of the permit are violated.
§ 165-40 Existing violations.
No permit shall be issued for a special use for a property where there is an existing violation of this Part 1.
