Be new at the time of placement;

Possess a manufactured peaked shingled roof; and

Be placed on a monolithic concrete slab with concrete block wall skirting.

It is the purpose of this section to permit but not require, upon receipt and approval by the Village Board of an application made by the landowner(s), the establishment of a zoning classification entitled "Planned Unit Development (PUD) District." Such district may be permitted for the following purposes:

Generally, these floating districts are intended to provide landowners who wish to develop functionally integrated residential or resort communities or complexes with the flexibility to do so, provided that sufficient open space will be preserved and the development is designed with safeguards to protect the public health, safety and welfare.

The owner(s) of the land in a proposed PUD District shall initially apply to the Village of Woodridge Planning Board for the establishment of a PUD — Planned Unit Development District. The application shall be in writing and include a sketch plan.

The Planning Board shall review the sketch plan and related documents and render a report to the applicant on the acceptability of the proposal along with recommendations for changes or improvements, if any. An unfavorable report shall state clearly the reasons therefor and, if appropriate, advise the applicant what revisions are necessary to receive acceptance.

Upon receipt of the Planning Board's report, which shall be made within 62 days of the meeting at which the sketch plan is initially presented, the applicant shall submit a preliminary development plan for the project to the Planning Board, including but not limited to all information required under Chapter 350, Subdivision of Land, and for purposes of compliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The applicant shall also submit, in the form of a letter or brief, information indicating how the development will specifically comply with or meet the special use and site plan review criteria contained in this chapter and the following additional information:

Action on preliminary plan.

When the Planning Board has approved a development plan for a proposed district, the plans shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk, and the Village Board shall then proceed to consider amendment of the law in accord with the Village Law, conducting a hearing and acting upon the same within 90 days of the meeting at which the Planning Board's recommendation is received. The Village Board shall, where appropriate, provide for County Planning Department review of the proposal and may attach conditions to its approval. When any planned district is not substantially developed in accordance with the approved preliminary development plan for a period of three years from the effective date of its establishment, and provided that it shall then appear that rights vested in persons acting in good faith in reliance on such zoning classification will not be prejudiced thereby, the Village Board, upon resolution and no earlier than 62 days following written notice to the applicant and general publication in a newspaper of general circulation, the Village may declare the same, by which action the change in classification to a PUD District shall be voided. The Village hereby exercises its authority under § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule to supersede § 7-708 of the New York State Village Law so as to permit voiding of a zoning change without resorting to further rezoning procedures.

Final approval.

Location. A PUD District may be permitted in any RR, R-1, R-2 or VC District.

Minimum site area. A PUD District should comprise at least 20 contiguous acres of land.

Density and open space. The density and open space standards applicable to conservation subdivisions shall also apply to all PUD projects.

Utilities. All uses situated in a PUD District shall be served by central water and sewerage systems. All water, sewer and gas lines and all other lines providing power and communication service shall be installed underground in the manner prescribed by the appropriate state and local agency and/or utility company having jurisdiction.

Permitted uses. All residential uses, except mobile homes, hotels, motels and resorts, shall be permitted in PUD Districts. No commercial uses shall be permitted except as may be provided through the zoning amendment made to allow for the PUD.

Other zoning regulations. With the exception of lot and yard requirements and other standards which may be waived or modified by the Planning Board, the PUD District shall comply with all other provisions of this chapter. No modification or waiving of density standards generally applicable to PUD Districts shall be permitted. Density for nonresidential uses shall be determined on the basis of projected sewage flows, with an equivalent dwelling unit being that amount of flow normally associated with a one-family residential dwelling.

Ownership. The land proposed for a PUD District may be owned, leased or controlled either by an individual, corporation or by a group of individuals or corporations. PUD District applications shall be filed by the owner or jointly by all owners of the property included in the application. In the case of multiple ownership, the approved plan shall be binding on all owners.

Organization. A PUD District may be organized as a condominium, a cooperative, a leasehold or held in individual or corporate ownership. If a homeowners' association (HOA) is to be established, and one shall be required if any property is to be held in common, such HOA shall be organized as provided for conservation subdivisions in the Chapter 350, Subdivision of Land.

An application for approval on a form to be supplied by the Village or, in the absence of such form, by a letter or brief from the developer or his or her representative indicating how the development will specifically comply with or meet the criteria set forth herein.

A proposed plot plan showing the approximate (generally within five feet) locations of all buildings and improvements, including parking areas, planting strips (if any), signs, storm drainage facilities, water supply, sewage treatment and collection systems and the specific areas provided as open space in connection with the requirements of this chapter. Building layouts, floor plans and profiles shall also be provided indicating building dimensions, numbers, and sizes of units, common ownership or use areas (apart from the open space referenced below), lighting and such other information as shall be required to determine compliance with the design standards contained herein and any other building standards which may be applicable in Village of Woodridge. Setbacks from property lines, improvements and other buildings shall also be indicated.

A schedule or plan and proposed agreement(s) either with the Village or a homeowners' association for the purpose of dedicating, in perpetuity, the use and/or ownership of the recreation area and open space required by this chapter to the prospective dwelling owners or occupants. Such agreement may be incorporated in the applicant's proposed covenants and restrictions, but shall, in any event, provide to the satisfaction of the Village that maintenance and use of the property, regardless of ownership, be restricted to either:

Final development plan approval shall have been granted in accordance with the procedures and requirements of this chapter; and

Buildings have been completed and inspected by the Village Building Inspector.

Taking the total acreage of the development and deducting the following acreages:

Dividing by the number of proposed units.

No less than 50% of the open space to be provided (25% of the total tract) shall be dedicated to recreational area for the sole benefit and enjoyment of the residents of the particular units proposed. Recreation areas (as distinct from other open space) shall be immediately adjacent (part of the same parcel and contiguous) to the proposed units and freely and safely accessible to all residents of the development. They shall not be used to fulfill open space requirements or provide recreational areas for residents of other units, excepting as provided for in Subsection G(2) below. They shall be usable for active recreational activities and shall not include wetlands, quarries, slopes over 15% in grade, water bodies or acreage used for improvements such as storm drainage facilities or sewage effluent disposal areas.

Land designated as open space shall be permanently maintained as such and not be separately sold, used to meet open space or recreation area requirements for other developments, subdivided or developed, except that a holding zone may be reserved for future development pursuant to density and other zoning requirements as they presently exist, provided such lands are specifically defined and indicated as "reserved for future development" on all development plans. Such lands shall not be included in calculating permitted density for the proposed development. These provisions, however, shall not be construed as granting or reserving to the developer any rights or privileges to develop on the basis of a pre-approved plan if density or other zoning requirements shall have been modified to preclude such development.

Open space areas shall be permanently maintained so that their use and enjoyment as open space are not diminished or destroyed. Such areas may be owned, preserved and maintained by dedication to a property owners' association which assumes full responsibility for maintenance of the open space and/or deed-restricted private ownership which shall prevent development of the open space, provide for its maintenance and protect the rights of owners or occupants of dwelling units to use and enjoy, in perpetuity, such portion of the open space as shall have been dedicated to recreation area for the project. This is intended to allow the owner/developer to retain ownership and use of a portion of the property (for hunting, fishing, etc.), provided the permanence of the open space is guaranteed.

Whichever maintenance mechanism(s) is used, the developer shall provide, to the satisfaction of the Village Attorney and prior to the granting of any final development plan approval, for the perpetual maintenance of the open space and also the use and enjoyment of the recreation area by residents of the units being approved. No lots shall be sold nor shall any building be occupied until and unless such arrangements or agreements have been finalized and recorded.

Developments of 50 units or more shall provide 1/2 acre of playground area per 50 units unless restricted to adult occupancy only.

There shall be no more than 10 dwellings in each multifamily building.

No structure shall be constructed within 50 feet of the edge of any access road to or through the development or within 10 feet of the edge of any parking area. No buildings shall be located within 100 feet of any pond, reservoir, lake or watercourse that is part of a water supply system.

Access roads through the development shall comply with minor street requirements as specified in this chapter, and no parking space shall be designed such that a vehicle would be backing or driving out onto a through road. Instead, there shall be a defined entrance and exit to and from each parking area.

Access to and egress from the proposed development shall be to a public road, and a traffic engineering study shall be an integral part of the site plan application. Such entrances and exits shall be at least 100 feet from any intersection and shall have at least 300 feet of sight distance in both directions. No multifamily development shall be served by more than one entrance and one exit from any public highway, unless topography or other physical circumstances would preclude the use of a single entrance in a safe manner.

Parking spaces of two per unit shall be provided, plus, for every two units intended for rental or other transient occupancy, one additional space to accommodate parking needs during sales and other peak visitation periods.

No more than 60 parking spaces shall be provided in one lot, nor more than 15 in a continuous row without being interrupted by landscaping. All off-street parking shall be adequately lighted and so arranged as to direct lighting away from residences.

No structure shall be erected within a distance equal to its own height of any other structure.

Where a property line is not wooded, a planting strip of 50 feet in width shall be required to buffer adjoining property owners and ensure privacy. Similar buffering of areas adjoining county and state highways shall be required. A landscaping plan shall also be prepared and submitted to the Planning Board for approval.

Multifamily developments shall be subject to the stormwater management requirements of this chapter. Facilities shall be designed to accommodate storms of a twenty-five-year average frequency unless a more stringent standard shall be recommended by the Village Engineer. The general performance standard shall be that the amount of uncontrolled stormwater leaving the site along any property line after development shall not exceed that estimated for the site prior to development. In instances where stormwater facilities are impractical for engineering reasons the Board may modify this standard as it applies to a particular project but shall provide for the maximum practical reduction in flow that can be achieved under the circumstances.

All electrical and other utilities shall be placed underground and buried to a depth determined by the Village Engineer as sufficient for safety purposes.

In addition to the standards for landscaping set forth herein, the ground and vicinity of buildings shall be provided with decorative landscape materials subject to approval by the Planning Board.

Exterior lighting along walks and near buildings shall be provided utilizing architectural-grade equipment and shall not create glare on adjoining units or adjoining properties.

Walks shall be provided throughout the development area to ensure that roads shall not be required for pedestrian circulation.

The Fire Inspector of the fire district in which the development is proposed shall review any development for adequate access for emergency vehicles.

The side yard applicable to a multifamily structure shall be increased by 10 feet for each dwelling unit over two within the structure.

Be for a period of not less than 15 years from the date of the final approval of said multifamily dwelling-transient use by the Village;

Be in an amount equal to the amount collected or to be collected for long-term maintenance (as indicated in the budget referenced above) by the developer or other responsible parties from each purchaser during the first year after sales to such purchases begin, multiplied by the total number of expected purchasers.

District setbacks from property boundaries or public rights-of-way shall apply.

Man-made or natural barriers of at least six feet in height and sufficient to restrict access to any excavation of two feet below grade level, that remains open for more than 30 days, shall be provided.

Dust shall be controlled at all times, and all rubbish and building materials shall be removed.

The proposed excavation shall not adversely affect soil, drainage and lateral support of abutting land or other properties nor shall it contribute to soil erosion by water or wind. Adequate siltation and erosion control measures shall be utilized.

Where topsoil is removed, sufficient arable soil shall be set aside for retention on the premises and shall be respread over the premises after the operation. Fill shall be suitable material approved by the Planning Board (or Village Board, if applicable) consisting of clean, noncombustible material containing material containing no garbage, refuse or deleterious matter.

Proper measures, as determined by the Planning Board (or Village Board, if applicable), shall be taken to minimize the nuisance of noise and flying dust or rock. Such measures may include, when considered necessary, limitations upon the practice of stockpiling excavated materials on the site.

No telecommunications facility, except those approved prior to the effective date of this section, shall be used unless in conformity with these regulations. No telecommunications facility shall hereafter be erected, moved, reconstructed, changed or altered unless in conformity with these regulations. No existing structure shall be modified to serve as a telecommunications facility unless in conformity with these regulations.

Applicants proposing a new telecommunications facility, physical expansions of existing telecommunications facilities or the location of telecommunications facilities within or on other existing structures shall require a special use permit and site plan review hereunder.

Applicants proposing to collocate new telecommunications arrays on a previously approved telecommunications facilities without extending the height thereof or otherwise physically expanding the facilities except for additional equipment buildings within previously designated fenced-in areas shall not require a special use permit or site plan review but shall require accessory use permits.

All applications for special use permits to construct telecommunications facilities shall be accompanied by the following additional information where applicable:

The location of the tower and equipment building shall comply with all natural resource protection standards of this chapter.

An evergreen screen consisting of a row of eight-foot high evergreen trees planted 10 feet on center, maximum, shall be located around the perimeter of the security fence. The Planning Board may, however, modify or waive screening requirements if the site is entirely or partially wooded so as to provide existing screening. Existing on-site vegetation shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible.

An eight-foot high security fence shall completely surround the tower (and guy wires if used) and equipment building.

The tower and antenna shall be designed and constructed to all applicable standards of the American National Standards Institute, TAI/EIA-222-F manual, as amended, and withstand wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour.

An antenna may not be located on a building or structure that is listed on an historic register or within 500 feet of such a structure.

Telecommunications facilities shall be permitted as a sole use on any lot in a AC, RD, IC or SC District subject to special use procedures and the following:

A telecommunications facility shall be permitted on a property with an existing use subject to the following conditions:

Where an antenna for a telecommunications facility is to be attached to an existing structure or building it shall be subject to the following conditions:

Notwithstanding minimum setbacks provided for above, any tower shall be set back from all property lines a distance that is at least equal to the height of the tower.

Vehicular access shall be provided to the facility and be of such passable condition as to be safely accessible by emergency and maintenance vehicles and equipment. Road construction shall, at all times, minimize ground disturbance and vegetation cutting to within the toe of fill, the edge of cuts or no more than 10 feet beyond the edge of any pavement. Road grades shall closely follow natural contours to assure minimal visual disturbance and reduce soil erosion potential. Parking shall be provided to assure adequate emergency and service access in accordance with the Code.

No signs shall be permitted on either the tower or equipment building, except for those signs required by law or containing such information as owner contact information, warnings. These signs shall not exceed two square feet in total area. Absolutely no commercial advertising shall be permitted on any wireless telecommunications tower or equipment building.

The Planning Board shall be satisfied that the tower for the communications facility is the minimum height necessary for the service area and that the site chosen is the one that will afford the opportunity to construct the lowest height communications tower possible, taking into consideration all lands available within a reasonable distance, including those which may lie within adjoining municipalities.

The need for additional buffer yard treatment shall be evaluated. Proximity of the communications structure to existing or platted residential properties shall be considered in applying such requirements. Existing trees on the site which serve to provide a natural buffer shall be preserved unless absolutely required to be removed for purposes of access or safety.

Visual assessment data shall be used to determine how the communications facility will appear once constructed in relation to the surrounding natural environment and from the perspective of adjacent or nearby residents as well as travelers. Camouflaging or relocation of the structure may be required. The Planning Board shall also consider alternative sites in assessing visual impacts and the imposing of conditions as may be required to minimize such impacts, including requirements that any tower be of a shape, contour and finish (either painted or unpainted) that minimizes its visual impact. The Planning Board may also require a tower to be in the shape of a tree, flagpole, church steeple or other similar tall structures. Accessory structures shall similarly maximize the use of building materials, colors and textures designed to blend with natural surroundings.

Freestanding pole-type communications structures shall be given preference over towers supported by guy wires.

All communications structures shall be lighted for safety in a manner consistent with industry best practices, and where lighted, additional setbacks may be imposed to shield adjacent properties from the effects of such lighting.

Should any tower cease to be used as a communications facility, the owner or operator or the owner of the land on which the tower is located shall be required to remove the same within one year from the abandonment of use. Failure to do so shall authorize the Village of Woodridge to remove the facility and charge back the cost of removal to the foregoing parties. The Village of Woodridge may also file a municipal lien against the land to recover the costs of removal and attorney's fees.

Shared use of existing structures (for example, municipal water towers, multistory buildings, church steeples and farm silos) and existing or approved towers shall be given preference over construction of new towers. Where shared use of all existing tall structures and existing or approved towers is found to be impractical, the applicant shall investigate shared usage of an existing tower site for its ability to accommodate a new tower and accessory uses. Documentation and conditions shall be in accordance with Subsection D(11) above. Any proposals for a new telecommunications tower on an existing site shall also be subject to special use permit procedures.

An applicant for approval of a communications structure shall include with the application evidence of written contact with all wireless service providers who supply service within the Town for the purpose of assessing the feasibility of collocated facilities and collocation shall be mandatory wherever physically feasible. Should collocation not be feasible, the applicant shall demonstrate that a good faith effort has been made to mount the antenna on an existing building or structure, including proof of contacts, building investigations and similar evidence. Should such efforts fail to result in a suitable site, a new communications tower may be permitted, but shall be constructed to provide available capacity for other providers should there be a future additional need for such facilities, including provision of the necessary tower height to accommodate such other users without adding additional height in the future. Where collocation is proposed, the different companies using the facility shall also work from common maintenance and service buildings, if the same are located on the site.

The minimum lot size for an animal kennel (a structure used for harboring five or more dogs or cats with or without attendant commercial services such as grooming, breeding or veterinary care) shall be three acres.

No animal kennel, runway or exercise pen shall be located within 500 feet of any lot or street line.

No building or part thereof shall be erected nearer than 50 feet to any lot line.

For animal hospitals and veterinary clinics, all facilities other than exercise pens and runways shall be maintained in enclosed structures which shall be of soundproof construction and so maintained as to produce no dust or odors at the property line.

The keeping or boarding of any dogs by a veterinarian shall conform to the requirements for a commercial kennel.

All facilities shall be permanently screened from all surrounding properties.

In issuing the special use permit, the Planning Board shall stipulate the maximum number and type of animals to be boarded, harbored or trained.

No camp shall be established on a parcel of less than five acres in lot area. All camps shall provide a minimum of 10,000 square feet of lot area per cabin or cottage site and the same for each principal building. No existing structure shall be converted for use as camp facilities unless such camp facilities shall fully comply with the standards of this section.

No activity area or facility shall be located nearer than 100 feet from any public road and 100 feet from any adjoining property line.

Buildings and sleeping quarters shall be set back 50 feet in distance from each other.

Signs other than official traffic signs shall comply with side yard setbacks as established for principal structures in the district where the sign is located.

No sign, except a public sign, visible from a public street, shall use the words "stop," "danger," or any other word, phrase, symbol or character that could be interpreted by a motorist as being a public safety warning or traffic sign.

No light shall be permitted that by reason of intensity color, location, movement or directions of its beam may interfere with pubic safety. Lighted signs of 12 square feet or more in sign area shall be submitted to the Planning Board for review and approval prior to permit issuance to ensure conformance with this standard. No such signs shall be lighted from exterior sources unless shielded to ensure no significant spillover of light beyond the borders of the sign, and no blinking or flashing signs, except for official traffic signs and signals, shall be permitted, provided that electronic signs with minimum transition times of two seconds or more may be permitted if they comply with other sign standards contained herein.

No sign or other advertising material or merchandise displayed for such purpose shall be attached to any tree utility pole, fence, fence post communication tower or device or public structure or other object not intended for such use.

A portable sign shall be considered a freestanding sign and be subject to all regulations pertaining to such signs. All portable signs shall require permits, however.

No sign shall exceed in height one-half its distance from the highway right-of-way, notwithstanding any other height limitation which may also be applicable.

If such signs are pole signs or portable signs they shall not exceed 32 square feet each in surface area for both sides combined, shall not exceed 20 feet in height and shall be set back from the edge of the highway right-of-way line no less than 25 feet. All pole signs shall be separated by a distance of no less than 100 feet.

If such signs are ground signs they shall be permitted, provided they do not exceed 64 square feet in surface area each in surface area for both sides combined or six feet in height.

Name plate signs shall be permitted on all lot, provided they do not exceed two square feet in surface area or one in number per lot.

A sign designed to influence the action of voters for the passage or defeat of a measure or the election of a candidate to a public office at a national, state or other local election, provided that such sign complies with the following conditions, shall not require a permit:

Violation of this subsection shall result in a fine not to exceed $50 per day.

The following deductions shall be made from the gross acreage of the tract:

The net figure obtained after these deductions shall then be divided by the minimum lot area for the zoning district, provided that, where the property proposed for residential land development will be served by municipal sewer and water, the minimum lot area shall be considered to be 10,000 square feet, regardless of zoning district, provided the ingress and egress to such development shall not be through any other residential development. Other development standards shall be the same as those established for the R-1 Low Density Residential District with a 60% limit on clearing.

Only one- and two-family dwelling structures shall be permitted in a residential land development. Projects involving multifamily dwelling uses shall be processed under the provisions of § 400-22 hereof, Multifamily residential uses, and projects with combinations of single-family, two-family or multifamily dwellings shall be subject to § 400-21 hereof, Planned unit developments.

All dwelling structures in a residential land development shall be subject to the yard requirements of the zoning district in which they are located, provided that all dwelling structures shall also be separated by a distance equal to the district standard for both side yards combined, regardless of building orientation.

A setback of 150 feet shall apply from all sides of the intersection of any residential land development access road with a Village, county or state road. This area shall remain undisturbed except for the access road (including clear-sight triangle), a single sign identifying the community and otherwise meeting the standards of this Code, a schoolbus waiting area (if provided) and a mailbox stop (if provided). All such improvements within this area shall be fully landscaped to blend in with the natural environment. The Planning Board may also require interplantings of wooded areas to further buffer the impact of the entrance and preserve the essential character of the area.

The landscaping provisions of § 400-18 shall also apply to each dwelling structure proposed as part of a residential land development. Each dwelling structure shall be fully landscaped prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy or a financial guarantee posted to ensure such landscaping within a period of six months after occupancy. The Planning Board may require additional landscaping as may be necessary to soften the impact of the built environment on the natural environment.

The site plan for any residential land development shall include designated building envelopes for all structures, which designated areas should accurately depict the location of such structures and any future additions that may be anticipated. An additional area shall be defined around each dwelling structure to encompass those areas that will serve as yards and not be covered with impervious surfaces. The site plan shall accurately depict these areas and the restrictions that shall apply in each, which restrictions shall be incorporated in deed, condominium, cooperative or rental agreements applicable to the dwelling structures in question. Coverage with impervious surfaces shall not exceed 20% of the combined building and yard areas for each dwelling structure.

All dwelling structures within a residential land development shall be placed upon concrete wall foundations and differentiated in appearance by building designs that incorporate recesses or extensions to break up long stretches of wall. Siding materials shall be limited to vinyl or traditional wood siding of no more than six inches in width or stucco. Plywood, T-111, metal and similar materials shall not be used in conjunction with dwelling structures. The purpose of these restrictions is to ensure residential land development building designs create new interest and, thereby, improve community appearance.

No more than 40% of any residential land development tract shall be cleared. An inventory of all trees of twelve-inch caliper or greater shall be included in the site plan review application for use by the Planning Board in determining the limits of clearing and specific trees to be preserved and removed, as the case may be. The Planning Board may waive this requirement for those portions of a parcel that are designated for preservation at the outset.

Stormwater management practices shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual and New York Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, provided that such practices shall maximize the use of natural stormwater management methods (e.g., grass swales) and minimize the use of dry above-ground stormwater detention facilities. The stormwater management plan shall also contain an operation and maintenance plan and proposed maintenance agreement establishing responsibilities for the continued operation and maintenance of all common stormwater management improvements. Post-construction stormwater management practices employed for any residential land development shall reduce stormwater peak runoff to less than the preconstruction peak runoff for the one-hundred-year event.

All roads and other improvements (e.g., sewer and water infrastructure, recreation amenities) within a residential land development shall meet the specifications set forth for new private roads and other improvements under Chapter 350, Subdivision of Land. The installation of such improvements shall also be subject to inspection, at applicant expense, by a Village-appointed professional engineer. Prior to construction of any improvements, the applicant shall deposit in escrow with the Village of Woodridge a sum of money equal to 10% of the total estimated construction cost of such improvements (as shall be estimated by the applicant, reviewed by the Village Engineer and approved by the Village Board) for use in addressing emergency maintenance issues connected with construction. Should such issues arise, the applicant will be directed to immediately address them. Should the applicant fall to promptly remedy the situation after reasonable notice to do so, the Village Board may draw down funds from the escrow account for this purpose and use these funds to do the work itself. Such funds as are not used during construction shall, following final inspection and approval of construction, be returned to the applicant.

The Village may require or agree to accept fees in lieu of new construction to improve or support existing recreation facilities in conjunction with new residential land developments. All residential land developments shall provide such recreation areas or fees in lieu thereof at the rates specified in § 350-23B(2) of Chapter 350, Subdivision of Land. Such fees shall apply to each individual dwelling unit.
