(a) All points of entrance or exit should be located no closer than 100 feet from the intersection of two arterial thoroughfares or no closer than fifty feet from the intersection of an arterial street and a local or collector street.
(b) No lighting shall constitute a nuisance or in any way impair safe movement of traffic on any street or highway, and no lighting shall shine directly on adjacent properties.
(c) Driveway access shall be guided by the standards for driveway locations contained in Access Control Guidelines for Streets and Highways, published by the Montgomery-Greene County Transportation and Develop-Planning Program.
(d) Wherever feasible, the applicant is encouraged to design and construct a common service drive to accommodate individual access drives within the development. When located upon an arterial thoroughfare, the Planning Commission may require that such service drives be incorporated within the plan and be constructed or performance bonds in lieu of such construction be presented to the City, prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed structures.
(e) All permitted installations shall be kept in a neat and orderly condition so as to prevent injury to any single property, to any individual or to the community in general.
(f) A setback of fifty feet shall be provided along the entire perimeter of the development, except where it adjoins a business or industrial district, in which case setback and screening requirements shall be at the discretion of the Planning Commission. Where situated adjacent to a residentially zoned area, a minimum of twenty feet along the exterior property line shall be planted with an evergreen hedge or dense planting of evergreen shrubs not less than four feet in height at the time of planting. Open storage, service and loading areas shall be screened by walls, fences or other enclosures at least six feet, but not more than eight feet, in height. These walls, fences or enclosures shall have an opaqueness of seventy-five percent or more. Screening facilities shall not obscure traffic visibility within fifty feet of an intersection.
Said sightproof screening provisions shall appear on the site plan submitted for a building permit and shall be physically constructed when the business is occupied. These screening requirements may be waived if the business is effectively screened by natural topography. The Planning Commission shall determine, by whatever means it deems necessary, to make such determination and grant such relief from this standard in writing to the proposed user of the land.
(g) Parking may be located in the front yard in the case of a fast-food or carry-out restaurant only.
