§ 220-43. Commercial outdoor storage of boats and boat accessories.

The Town Planning Board may approve a special use permit for commercial outdoor storage of boats and boat accessories in the I Industrial District as a primary use or in addition to an existing primary use. For the purposes of this section, "boat accessories" shall mean boat trailers, docks, and hoists. Commercial outdoor storage of boats and boat accessories shall comply with the following standards and § 220-35 of this article:

A. 

All boats and boat accessories to be stored on the site shall be in good working condition.

B. 

Areas to be used for outdoor storage shall be clearly defined by the applicant.

C. 

Outdoor storage areas shall have the same minimum setbacks as are required for accessory buildings in Schedule I, Zoning Schedule, of this chapter. This requirement may be waived by the Planning Board.

Editor's Note: Schedule I is included at the end of this chapter.

D. 

Outdoor storage areas shall be in the side and rear yard of the principal building, where one exists.

E. 

Where no principal building exists, the minimum front setback for outdoor storage areas shall be 60 feet from the street line.

F. 

Outdoor storage areas, in combination with all other impervious surfaces, shall not exceed 70% of the area of the lot.

G. 

All outdoor storage areas shall be enclosed, except for necessary access drives, by buildings and/or fences, walls, embankments or evergreen trees or other landscaping required by the Planning Board, so as to substantially screen such areas from view from any street or residential district. However, the Planning Board may determine that such enclosure is not necessary where outdoor storage is adjacent to uses of a similar nature and/or intensity.

H. 

The statement of operations required by § 220-35 of this article shall include the provisions and procedures to be followed for ensuring that boats will be properly stored with minimal potential for contamination of the site with fuel, oil, or other substances known to be a hazard to human health and/or the natural environment. This may include requiring storage to occur over a suitably improved or durable surface.
