76-494. Cemeteries.

As specified in section 76-172, a greenbelt and a fence shall be installed along the perimeter boundaries of the site. Along those boundaries of the site abutting a road, the greenbelt or wall shall observe the front yard setback of the district in which the site is located. Along all other site boundaries, the greenbelt or wall may be placed on the property line.

Suitable gates for ingress and egress shall be provided, and the principal entrance shall not be closer than 200 feet to an adjoining residential site.

If the applicant desires to install a cyclone wire fence (or other type of fencing) instead of a masonry wall, this shall be described on the application, and it may be approved in the discretion of the planning commission if the fence will be substantially compatible and harmonious with existing, adjacent types of installations.

No building shall be erected closer than 100 feet to an adjacent site line, nor such building cover more than 10% of the site on which it is to be constructed.

Any such use shall not be permitted in a floodplain.

The applicant shall show with reasonable certainty that the elevations of the site when finished will provide adequate drainage.

The proposed roads and parking areas shall be adequate for the use, and shall be paved with asphalt or concrete and drained.

The greenbelt and wall (fence included) shall be maintained as required under section 76-172.

Minimum cemetery site shall be 10 acres. If a state law specifically permits a smaller size, or sets a maximum size less than 10 acres, this regulation shall not apply to an addition to the site of a use existing at the time of adoption of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived.
