§ 3-14. Fall-out and/or storm shelters.  


Latest version.
  • Fall-out and/or storm shelters are permitted as principal or accessory uses in any district, subject to the yard requirements of the district. Shelters shall be maintained so as not to become a hazard or blight to the community.

    The board of appeals may permit, as a special exception, construction of joint shelters by two (2) or more property owners. Where such joint shelters are permitted, the board may waive the side and rear yard setback requirements on the property or properties directly involved in order to permit practical and efficient location and construction; provided, however, that side and rear yard requirements shall be met where property involved in a joint proposal abuts or adjoins property not included in the proposal.
