All of the town shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, that there shall be exempt from these provisions the following:
(A) Other publicly owned and operated facilities used for essential government purposes; and
(B) The use or occupation of land or improvements for railroad, mining, metallurgical, grazing, agricultural composting or general agricultural purposes, if the property concerned is not less than five contiguous commercial acres. An agricultural composting operation shall notify in writing the Zoning Administrator and the nearest fire department of the location of the composting operation. This exemption shall not be construed to include commercial feedlots and other allied commercial or industrial uses, nor shall this exemption apply to commercial retail attached to one of the above exempted uses (i.e., commercial roadside agriculture sales). Nothing in this chapter is intended or will be effective to regulate land uses where such land use regulation has been preempted by state or federal regulation.
