A.
Principal uses. Only those principal uses specified for a district,

Conditional uses and their accessory uses are considered as special uses requiring for their authorization review, public hearing and approval by the Village Board in accordance with Article IV of this chapter excepting those existent at the time of adoption of this chapter.
(2)
Those existing uses which are classified as "conditional uses" for
the district(s) in which they are located at the time of adoption
of this chapter require no action by the Village Board to continue
as valid conditional uses, and the same shall be deemed to be regular
conditional uses.

(5)
Provisions in this chapter relating generally to conditional uses
shall, except when in conflict with specific provisions relating to
either regular or limited conditional uses (which specific provision
would then control), be deemed to be applicable to both regular and
limited conditional uses.
(6)
Conditional uses authorized by Village Board resolution shall be
established for a period of time to a time certain or until a future
happening or event at which the same shall terminate.
No lot, yard, parking area, building area or other space shall
be reduced in area or dimension so as not to meet the provisions of
this chapter. No part of any lot, yard, parking area or other space
required for a structure or use shall be used for any other structure
or use.
A.
Site suitability. No land shall be used or structure erected where
the land is held unsuitable for such use or structure by the Village
Board by reason of flooding, concentrated runoff, inadequate drainage,
adverse soil or rock formation, unfavorable topography, low percolation
rate or bearing strength, erosion susceptibility, or any other feature
likely to be harmful to the health, safety, prosperity, aesthetics
and general welfare of this community. The Village Board, in applying
the provisions of the section, shall, in writing, recite the particular
facts upon which it bases its conclusion that the land is not suitable
for certain uses. The applicant shall have an opportunity to present
evidence contesting such unsuitability if he/she so desires.
B.
Street frontage. All lots shall abut upon a public street or other
officially approved means of access, and each lot shall have a minimum
frontage of 30 feet at the building line; however, to be buildable,
the lot shall comply with the frontage requirements of the zoning
district in which it is located.
C.
Principal structures. All principal structures shall be located on
a lot. Only one principal structure shall be located, erected or moved
onto a lot. The Village Board may permit as a conditional use more
than one principal structure per lot in any district where more than
one such structure is needed for the orderly development of the parcel.
Where additional structures are permitted, the Village Board may impose
additional yard requirements, landscaping requirements or parking
requirements, or require a minimum separation distance between principal
structures.
D.
Dedicated street. No zoning permit shall be issued for a lot which
abuts a public street dedicated to only a portion of its proposed
width and located on that side thereof from which the required dedication
has not been secured.
E.
Lots abutting more restrictive districts. Lots abutting more restrictive
district boundaries shall provide side and rear yards not less than
those required in the more restrictive abutting district. This does
not apply to adjacent residential districts. The street yard setbacks
in the less restrictive district shall be modified for a distance
of not less than 60 feet from the more restrictive district boundary
line so such street yard setbacks shall be no less than the average
of the street yards required in both districts.
F.
Preservation of topography. In order to protect the property owner
from possible damage due to change in the existing grade of adjoining
lands, and to aid in preserving and protecting the natural beauty
and character of the landscape, no change in the existing topography
of any land shall be made which would result in increasing any portion
of the slope to a ratio greater than 1 1/2 horizontal to one
vertical, within a distance of 20 feet from the property line, except
with the written consent of the owner of the abutting property and
with the approval of the Village Board, or which would alter the existing
drainage or topography in any way as to adversely affect the adjoining
property. In no case shall any slope exceed the normal angle of slippage
of the material involved, and all slopes shall be protected against
erosion.
G.
Decks. For purposes of this chapter, decks shall be considered a
part of a building or structure.
H.
Lots abutting two streets. Where a lot abuts on two or more streets
or alleys having different average established grades, the higher
of such grades shall control only for a depth of 120 feet from the
line of the higher average established grade.
I.
Double-frontage lots. Buildings on through lots and extending from
street to street may have waived the requirements for a rear yard
by furnishing an equivalent open space on the same lot in lieu of
the required rear yard, provided that the setback requirements on
both streets are complied with.
J.
Preexisting lot. Where a lot has an area less than the minimum number
of square feet per family required for the district in which it is
located and was of record as such at the time of the passage of this
chapter, such lot may be occupied by one family.

unobstructed, except tor accessory buildings in a rear yard, and the
ordinary projections of sills, belt courses, cornices and ornamental
features projecting not more than 12 inches.
