(A) Intent and purpose. This section establishes the R-1A One-Family Low Density Residential District to encourage the development of single-family residential homes, and protect the existing single-family homes in the village. This district includes existing low density one-family properties as well as areas within which the development appears both likely and desirable. In order to avoid intrusion of undesirable uses and to foster all possible benefits for a continued high quality residential environment, all land and structure uses in this district, as well as other residential districts in this chapter, have been classified into two categories: those uses permitted by right, and those uses permitted by special permit. The latter classification has been established to facilitate the inclusion within the district of certain nonresidential uses that have been generally accepted as reasonably compatible with one-family neighborhoods, but that present potential injurious effects upon residential and other property unless authorized under specific and controlled conditions.
(B) Use permitted by right.
(1) One-family dwelling.
(2) Customary accessory uses and buildings, provided those uses and buildings are incidental to the principal use and do not include any activity conducted as a business. Any accessory building or use shall be located on the same lot with the principal building. Accessory uses shall include the following:
(a) Living quarters as part of an accessory garage.
(b) Private swimming pools, provided, that whenever an unenclosed swimming pool is constructed, the pool shall be provided with a protective fence six feet in height and entry shall be provided by means of a controllable gate.
(c) Solar energy facilities accessory to a residential use and intended to produce electricity primarily for the lot they are located on, subject to the standards in § 153.128.
(3) Public parks and recreation facilities.
(4) Temporary buildings, for uses incidental to construction work. The buildings shall be removed upon the completion or abandonment of the construction work or within the period of one year, whichever is the lesser time period.
(5) Railroad right-of-way, including all necessary trackage, switches, and operating devices, but excluding storage, marshaling yards, freight yards, or sidings.
(6) Modifications and co-locations on existing wireless telecommunications facilities, subject to the standards in § 153.127.
(8) Cemeteries, public or private, subject to the following conditions:
(a) The site shall be no less than 20 acres and shall be so designed as to provide all ingress and egress directly onto or from a major thoroughfare, as classified on the Comprehensive Development Plan of the village;
(b) The location of proposed service roads, entrances, and driveways shall be so designed in relationship to the major thoroughfare that pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety is encouraged; and
(C) Uses permitted by special use permit. The following uses of land and structures may be permitted by the application for and the issuance of a special use permit when specified procedures and requirements, as outlined in the sections cited, are complied with:
