(B) No place where an animal is kept shall be kept closer than 40 feet to the premises of an apartment, hotel, restaurant, boarding house, food store, building used for educational, religious, or hospital purposes, or dwelling other than that occupied by the owner or occupant of the premises upon which the animal is kept.
(C) Every building where any animal is kept, if located within 200 feet of any apartment, hotel, restaurant, boarding house, food store, building used for educational, religious, or hospital purposes, or any dwelling other than that occupied by the owner or occupant of the premises upon which the animal is kept, shall be provided with a watertight and flytight receptacle for manure, of such size as to hold all accumulation of manure.

He or she may make a complaint before the town court against any person for violation of any provision of this chapter, or of any such reasonable order.
(E) The location of any kennel shall be subject to any planning or zoning guidelines, or decisions of the Town Board of Trustees. In any case, no kennel may be kept within 500 feet of a residence or any building open to the public.
