The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals may make their approvals of site plans and special permits, respectively, contingent on the execution of the terms of written agreements, voluntarily entered into between the permit-issuing authority and applicants, that bind the applicants to remedy the sub-standard vehicle access conditions at their own expense. In addition to these provisions, all requirements of Charlton's Subdivision Regulations must be met in obtaining site plan approval and/or a special permit. 3.2.3.2 Business Enterprise Park and Industrial General Buffers: In Business Enterprise Park and Industrial General zoning districts a landscaped strip twenty (20) feet in width shall be created and maintained along the lot frontage on a road. In addition, a landscaped strip one hundred (100) feet in width shall be created and maintained along any lot boundary that abuts an R-40 or an Agriculture District, or an Historic District. The landscaping shall be of plant materials that provide a year-round screening of the view of any industrial or commercial buildings or their appurtenances from the abutting residential zoning district or historic district. Passive uses, such as recreation, septic systems and wells shall be allowed within the buffer area, provided that the year-round screening is maintained; however detention ponds are not allowed. 3.2.3.3 Outside bulk storage, contractor's yards, disposal areas or areas of open storage related to manufacturing, processing, warehousing, wholesale trade or a public utility facility shall be screened from an adjacent residential use, a residential district, and street by a solid stockade fence at least six (6) feet in height or densely planted trees or shrubs at least six (6) feet or more in height, or be equivalently obscured by natural vegetation on a year-round basis. No more than fifty percent (50%) of a lot may be used for outdoor storage. 3.2.3.4 A Home Occupation shall not include the services of more than two (2) employees not resident on the premises. 3.2.3.5 Uses customarily accessory to a residence shall include the occasional sale of used household goods, a motor vehicle, or a boat or trailer of a resident. 3.2.4 Intensity of Use Schedule Min.

This requirement shall apply to two-family and multi-family dwellings, but shall not apply to accessory apartments. 2 Side and rear yards shall each be at least seventy (70) feet when abutting any residential or agricultural district. 3 In an R-SE zone a 20,000 sq. ft. lot requires a sewer connection. Without a sewer connection the minimum lot size is 40,000 sq. ft. 4 No building in an R-SE zone may exceed 20,000 sq. ft. in gross floor area. 5 In Business Enterprise Park Districts, buildings shall be set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the front lot line. Parking lots shall be set back a minimum of twenty (20) feet from the front lot line, or a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the front lot line if the front lot line abuts a State-numbered Route, and they shall not be located within the required side or rear yards, nor within the required buffer area. 6 To accomplish the purposes of the Village district, the Planning Board may authorize by special permit a reduction of front, side and rear setback standards for new or pre- existing structures. The Board must find that the required setbacks would result in, or have resulted in, construction of structures that are not in keeping with the area’s scale and character. The Board must further find that the relaxation of said standards will not interfere or negatively impact abutting properties, particularly property used or zoned for residential purposes.
