A. 
Fences on any lot line shall be constructed of materials designed primarily for use in residential areas.
B. 
Specifically excluded as acceptable materials are so-called chicken wire, barbed wire and other farm-type wire fence materials. Design of fence shall allow transmission of light.

No hedge or other landscaping on any lot line shall be over four feet high. No hedge shall be allowed in the road or street right-of-way. Other front yard plantings shall at no time create a hazard.
Dumping of refuse, waste material and other substances is prohibited in all districts in the Village except in a specified area or areas designated as the "Village dump" by the Village Board or except for the purpose of filling to establish grades, for which a clearing and grading permit must be obtained from the Village Planning Board.
Any use of property existing at the time of adoption or amendment of this chapter that does not conform to the regulations prescribed in the preceding sections shall be deemed a nonconforming use and may be continued. Upon application therefor, the Code Enforcement Officer shall, after satisfactory proof of the prior existence of such nonconformance has been submitted to him, issue a permit for the continuance of such use. Such permit shall be irrevocable, except as herein provided, and shall be evidence of permission to continue such use.
A. 
A nonconforming use shall not be extended, and no building may be erected on premises for the purpose of extending a nonconforming use. Any building arranged, designed or devoted to a nonconforming use at the time of the original passage of this chapter shall not be reconstructed, extended or structurally altered unless such building is changed to a conforming use, except as it may be reconstructed or extended by a special grant of the Zoning Board of Appeals under this chapter.
B. 
A nonconforming use, if changed to a conforming use, may not be changed back to a nonconforming use, and any change of a nonconforming use to a conforming use shall automatically revoke a permit issued hereunder. Any temporary discontinuance of a nonconforming use for a period not to exceed one year shall not be deemed a change to a conforming use, but a discontinuance of a nonconforming use for more than one year shall be deemed an abandonment of such use and may not be subsequently continued. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the restoration within one year of a building destroyed by fire or act of God or prevent the continuance of the use of such building when so restored, and this period for restoration may be extended up to three years if within one year from the date of destruction there is filed with the Village Clerk a notice of intention to rebuild.

C. 
Replacement. A nonconforming structure may be replaced on its identical footprint, within 24 months after its removal, so long as it is not added to, enlarged, reconfigured or altered in any manner or in a way which increases its nonconformity.

Applicants are encouraged to provide evidence of lesser parking and loading demand if appropriate.
D. 
The Planning Board, at its discretion, may waive the minimum required parking spaces in this section, and allow fewer off-street parking or loading if warranted based on a parking impact study submitted by the applicant. In any case where less off-street parking is required, the Planning Board reserves the right to require the set-aside of additional open space sufficient to accommodate the amount of off-street parking which would ordinarily be required.
E. 
The Planning Board also reserves the right to request additional information, such as but not limited to expected number of employees, participants, expected attendance or expected deliveries, relevant to judging the adequacy of listed parking and loading standards. Such information may result in application of off-street parking standards higher than those listed in this section.
F. 
For uses not listed, the required number of off-street parking or loading spaces shall be determined by the Planning Board based on similarity to listed uses and information provided by the applicant.
G. 
In all cases, the provided off-street parking and loading should be sufficient to prevent frequent on-street parking by users or employees or the loading and unloading of passengers or materials from the public right-of-way in such a manner that is disruptive to traffic.

(1) 
Each off-street parking space for residential and nonresidential use shall measure a minimum of nine feet by 18 feet with twenty-six-foot aisles.
(2)

[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
(3) 
The ratio of planned to constructed parking spaces shall be at the discretion of the Planning Board. Constructed parking shall be based on the immediate needs of the site.
(4) 
Consistent parking of vehicles on a public right-of-way or outside the designated parking areas shall be the primary indicator of need for converting planned parking areas to functional parking areas. The need for conversion from planned parking areas shall be at the discretion of the Code Enforcement Officer and shall be founded in fact.
