Permitted uses.

Uses permitted only by special permission of the Board of Appeals:

No building may be erected, altered or used and no lot or premises may be used for any trade, industry or business that is noxious or offensive by reason of odor, dust, smoke, gas, vibration or noise. No internal-combustion engine shall be used unless objectionable noise and vibrations are eliminated and it is equipped and supplied with an effective muffler or silencer. It shall be unlawful and deemed a violation of this chapter to operate any facility or building that displays or utilizes strobe lights, flashing or blinking lights, laser lights, or flashing or blinking lights or signs on its windows or storefront. Any legal use that does not conform on the date hereof shall continue to be permitted for a period of 12 months provided no safety hazard is presented, after which time such use shall be discontinued.

The following uses are strictly prohibited:

No building or structure shall exceed 24 feet in height.

No building shall occupy a lot or plot having a frontage of less than 75 feet and a depth of 100 feet, except a plot having a frontage of not less than 50 feet and being in single, separate ownership on the effective date hereof. However, a building may be erected on such plot, provided that all other provisions of the Building Zone Ordinance of the Village of Lindenhurst are complied with.

Accessory buildings may occupy 15% of the required area of the rear yard up to a height of 14 feet. Accessory buildings shall be limited to two per lot and shall not exceed an aggregate of 600 square feet.

The yard area allowed for such accessory buildings shall be included in computing the percentage of lot area to be built upon.

Under no circumstances shall any accessory building or part thereof in a business zone be used as a dwelling or place of human habitation.

In a Business District, a fence, as defined in this code and not exceeding six feet in height, may be erected, provided that, if such fence shall be erected along any road or highway, the permitted height thereof shall be measured from the existing elevation of the center line of such highway opposite such fence and provided, further, that such height so measured shall not exceed two and one-half (2 1/2) feet at any point within a radius of 15 feet of the corner formed by any intersecting roads or highways unless otherwise permitted by the Board of Appeals. The provisions hereof shall also apply to hedges and other densely growing shrubbery.

The use of barbed or razor wire atop fences in this zone shall be permitted only when authorized as a special permit by the Board of Appeals and provided, further, that the additional height of barbed or razor wire shall not exceed by more than two feet the height permitted for fences in Subsection A above or as elsewhere prescribed in this code, and the barbed or razor wire shall not lean outward, away from the property so enclosed.

Any fence shall have the smooth or finished side facing the outside of the property, and all posts, braces or pipes must be placed on the inside of the fence.

There shall be, in the case of any building, accessory building or extension to any existing building in this zone, a fifteen-foot setback along the property line at any place it abuts any residential zones.

As part of the aforementioned setback, there shall be constructed along the residentially zoned property a fence and at least a five-foot-wide shrub buffer.

Prior to the issuance of a building permit, application must be made to the Planning Board, together with a proposed plot plan showing the buffer. The fence and shrub buffer shall be constructed pursuant to specifications set forth by the Planning Board designed to protect the privacy, safety and aesthetics of the area.
