§ 19-81. Public utilities and facilities

Public utilities and facilities, necessary to the public health, safety and welfare, shall be permitted in all zoning districts and shall not be considered nonconforming to the area in which they are located, so long as they do not present a health hazard or create noise pollution.

The public utilities or facilities shall meet all lot setback requirements and height limitations for the districts they are located in and such facilities shall be exempt from fence height limitations for the protection of equipment and public safety. Every effort shall be made for the facility to blend in with the district in which they are located and this will be accomplished with fences and/or screening shrubs for small equipment and with the shell of a building for larger equipment.

All public utilities and facilities will need final approval by town council of site plans. The approval of site plans in no way negates any town, county, or state codes or regulations.
