(A) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
HEAVY USER. An individual, public or private corporation, partnership, company, association, firm, person, or other entity whatsoever whose set out on a scheduled garbage or trash collection day exceeds seven 30-gallon cans or three toters.
HEAVY USER CONTAINER. A container, with a lid, designed for mechanical loading.
(B) Provision of containers. Heavy users shall provide heavy user containers for use in garbage or trash collection. In the event that the present number of heavy user containers on site does not prove adequate to accommodate the amount of garbage or trash generated at a particular property or business, then the heavy user shall increase the number of weekly collections at the site or the number of heavy user containers for the site.
(C) Location. All garbage or trash collection areas of a heavy user shall be located in the rear yard with a minimum setback of two feet from any property line unless site limitations such as topography, yard area, or access prevent such placement, as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
(D) Screening.
(1) All heavy users shall screen heavy user containers as set forth within this section.
(2) (a) All heavy users required to maintain one or more heavy use containers on site shall provide a screened enclosure by means of a class one, three, four, or six fence/wall, or combination thereof. In all cases, the class of fence/wall chosen shall be modified to be 100% closed. Screening shall be in excess of the height of the heavy user container to be enclosed.
(b) The screening shall be three-sided. The unscreened side of the heavy user container may be open only to the interior of the site on which it is located. In the event that the placement of the heavy user container is on the opposite side of a traveled roadway or parking area from the building that the heavy user container serves, the open side shall not face the traveled roadway or parkway area.
(c) If access to the heavy user container faces the traveled roadway, then that side shall be enclosed by a gate that is to remain latched in a closed position when the heavy user container is not being emptied.
(3) Any heavy user having one or more heavy use containers that are temporary in nature for the purpose of remodeling, refurbishing, or constructing any building shall not be subject to this section for so long as the remodeling, refurbishing, or constructing is in progress.
