ZONING REGULATIONS
20.7.4 Except a conforming dwelling or conforming accessory use on a non
conforming lot, a non conforming structure or use shall not be altered,
reconstructed, extended or changed without a Special Permit from the PZC,
provided that said Board finds that such alteration is not substantially more
detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non conforming structure
or use, except as the same may apply to non non-conforming buildings,
structures or land used primarily for agriculture, floriculture or horticulture
within defined aquifer resource protection districts. No Special Permit shall
be granted for any alteration, reconstruction, extension or structural change
for a non conforming structure or use without a specific finding by the PZC
that the proposed alteration, reconstruction, extension or structure change
will not violate any of the provisions or other parts of this regulation. It shall
be the responsibility of the applicant proposing said alteration,
reconstruction, extension or change to demonstrate to the PZC that the
proposed alteration, reconstruction, extension or structure change will not
violate any of the provisions of this Regulation.
20.8 Design and Operations Guidelines: The following design and operation guidelines
shall be observed within the Aquifer Protection Zone:
20.8.1 Standards: Provision shall be made to protect against toxic or hazardous
materials discharge or loss resulting from corrosion, accidental damage,
spillage or vandalism through measures such as; prohibition of underground
fuel storage tanks; spill control provisions in the vicinity of chemical or fuel
delivery points; secured storage areas for toxic or hazardous materials; and
indoor storage provisions for corrodible or dissolvable materials. For
operations, which allow the evaporation of toxic or hazardous materials into
the interiors of any structures, a closed vapor to prevent discharge of
contaminated condensate into the groundwater.
20.8.2 Location: Where the premises are partially outside of the Aquifer Protection
Zone, potential pollution sources such as on site waste disposal system shall
