§ 152.280 JUNK YARDS.
   In addition to and as an integral part of development, the following provisions shall apply:
   (A)   Junk yards shall be established and maintained in accordance with applicable State of Michigan Statutes.
   (B)   (1)   It is recognized that the location in the open of such materials included in this chapter’s definition of junk yard will cause the reduction of the value of adjoining property. To the end that the character of the district shall be maintained and property values conserved, an opaque fence or wall at least seven feet in height, and not less in height than the materials located on the lot on which a junk yard shall be operated, shall be located on the lot no closer to the lot lines than the yard requirements for buildings permitted in this district. All gates, doors and access ways though the fence or wall shall be of solid, un-pierced material. In no event shall any materials included in this chapter’s definition of junk yard be located on the lot on which a junk yard shall be operated in the area between the lines of the lot and the opaque fence or wall located on the lot.
      (2)   In addition to the foregoing requirements, the Planning Commission may require a greenbelt complying with the provisions of § 152.075.
   (C)   All traffic ingress or egress shall be on major streets, and there shall be not more than one entrance way to the lot on which a junk yard shall be operated from each public road which the lot abuts.
   (D)   On the lot on which a junk yard shall be operated, all roads, driveways, parking lots, and loading and unloading areas within any yard shall be paved, or chemically treated so as to limit the nuisance caused by windborne dust onto adjoining lots and public roads.
