(3)

Certain accessory structures may be prohibited in certain yards. The use of the term "yard" refers to the area between the applicable building line and lot line. The distinction is made because certain principal buildings may not be built at required district setback lines, thereby creating a yard larger than the minimum setback dimension.

(4)

An antenna or tower that is proposed to exceed the height limitations is a special use. The operator must provide evidence that a taller tower and/or antenna is technically necessary to engage successfully in amateur radio communications. In addition, the applicant must provide evidence that the tower and/or antenna will not prove a hazard and that it conforms to all applicable performance criteria of Section 7.5.

(4)

Each beekeeper must provide a convenient source of water available to the bees at all times.

(5)

In any instance in which a colony exhibits unusual aggressive characteristics by stinging or attempting to sting without due provocation or exhibits an unusual disposition toward swarming, the beekeeper must promptly re-queen the colony.

Furthermore, where the channel of the body of water is so narrow that a distance of 50 feet from the shoreline would prevent passage in such channel, said boathouse shall be placed at a distance from the shoreline, which in the opinion of the technical review committee (TRC), shall permit passage of boats in such channel;

b.

No boathouse, dock or approach to the boathouse shall be closer to the lot lines of the designed lots than a minimum footage of ten feet, nor shall any boathouse extend to a height or more than 20 feet from above the elevation 0.0 based upon the United States Coastal and Geodetic Datum Plan, rather than mean low tide;
