The cemetery shall be provided with perpetual care for maintenance of the grounds and landscaping.

   (5)    Sufficient land area is required to accommodate the proposed use, and the use and any appurtenant structures shall be so arranged on the land as to minimize any adverse effects on surrounding properties. The use shall not create particular hazards to adjacent properties.

   (6)    Specified conditions with respect to emissions of noise, light, glare, smoke, odor, dust, particulate matter, vibrations or hours of operation may be prescribed differently from those required in a given district, as to be compatible with other applicable State and Federal standards.

   (7)    A traffic plan is required describing, at minimum, the method of ingress and egress to the site, traffic circulation within the site, and on premises parking and loading/launching areas.

   (8)    The granting of approval of a heliport shall be based on the design of the unit, which will meet all local, State and Federal requirements for such use, and will be subject to the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration. Heliports will be located in areas where effects from the noise, vibration, dust or light will not adversely affect adjoining properties, and where the safety of adjoining residents and the public is not endangered. Storage of fuel will meet all local, State and Federal Fire Codes. No flammable liquids, fuel, gases or other combustible materials will be stored below the surface of any lake, river, stream or water body.

The public utility facility lot or parcel is not required to meet the minimum lot/parcel size of the zoning district in which it is located. In considering applications, the Planning or Zoning Commission shall consider the public convenience and necessity of the facility and any adverse effect that the facility will have upon properties in the vicinity, and may require such reasonable restrictions, or conditions of development; or protective improvements as to uphold the purpose and intent of this title and the comprehensive plan. A sewage management agreement shall be approved and executed prior to the issuance of a conditional use permit for subsurface sewage disposal systems serving 10 or more residential dwelling units or designed with a capacity of 2,500 gallons or more per day.
