Proposed Amendment No. 1 - Section 200 Definitions
Amendment No. 1
Section 200
200.00 Definitions
Delete the definition of Elderly. The Ordinance that used the term “Elderly” was removed years ago.
Elderly. For the purposes of this Ordinance shall mean that portion of the population 65 years and older.
The definitions below appear later in the Ordinance, so it was decided to move them to the beginning of the Ordinance.
1201.06 Development: Any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including, but not limited to, buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operation or storage of equipment or materials.
Nonconforming Use. A non-conforming use is The use of any building or land lawfully occupied at the time of the passage of this Ordinance, or amendment thereto, which does not conform to the regulations of the district in which it is located.
1201.26 Regulatory Floodway. The channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot at any point. These areas are designated as floodways on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps.
The definition of Junkyard is already in Section 200. Delete the definition of Junkyard in Section 1302.07 and make the spelling consistent throughout the Ordinance. “Junk yard” and “Junkyard” have the same definition and are used in different locations in the Ordinance with the first location being Section 300. This change will make the definitions the same and fix the spelling.
Junkyard: Any business and any place of storage or deposit, whether in connection with another business or not, which has stored or deposited 2 or more unregistered motor vehicles which are no longer intended or in condition for legal use on the public highways, or used parts of motor vehicles or old iron, metal, glass, paper, cordage, or other waste, or discarded or secondhand material which has been a part, or intended to be a part, of any motor vehicle, the sum of which parts or material shall be equal to 2 or more motor vehicles. Junkyard shall also include any place of business or storage or deposit of motor vehicles purchased for the purpose of dismantling the vehicles for parts or for use of the metal for scrap and where it is intended to burn material which are parts of a motor vehicle or cut up the parts thereof. This definition includes garbage dumps and sanitary landfills. This definition does not include any motor vehicle dealers registered with the director of motor vehicles under RSA 261:104 and controlled under RSA 236:126.
