Screening. A method of visually shielding or obscuring an area through the use of <br /> fencing, walls, berms, or densely - planted vegetation. <br /> Secondary Windows. Those windows serving bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, <br /> stairwells, and <br /> Sedimentation Ponds. A basin or pond with a controlled stormwater release <br /> structure that is intended to collect and store sediment and that is designed to allow <br /> sediment to settle out of the flow before being released from the pond. <br /> Setback. See "Yard ", "Front Yard Setback ", or "Interior Yard Setback ". <br /> Service Station. A place where motor fuel and oil for motor vehicles is sold. <br /> Incidental services consist of selling, servicing and installing tires, batteries, <br /> accessories and related products, as well as minor repair and service when conducted <br /> entirely within an enclosed building. "Minor repair and service," as used in this <br /> definition, excludes activities such as painting, body work, steam cleaning, tire <br /> recapping, major engine or transmission overhaul or repair involving removal of a <br /> cylinder head or crankcase, and mechanical car washing that includes equipment to <br /> wash more than one car at a time. <br /> Shade Point. The part of a building that casts the longest shadow onto the adjacent <br /> northern lot(s) when the sun is at an altitude of 22.6 degrees and an azimuth ranging <br /> from 30 degrees east and west of true south; except a shadow caused by a narrow <br /> object such as a mast or whip antenna, a dish antenna with a diameter of 3 feet or less, <br /> a chimney, utility pole or wire. The height of the shade point shall be measured from <br /> the shade point to lowest grade directly below the shade point. If the shade point is <br /> located at the north end of the ridgeline of a building oriented within 45 degrees of the <br /> true north -south line, the shade point may be reduced by 3 feet. If a structure has a <br /> roof oriented within 45 degrees of the true east -west line with a pitch that is flatter <br /> than 5 feet (vertical) in 12 feet (horizontal), the shade point will be the eave of the <br /> roof. If such a roof has a pitch that is 5 feet in 12 feet or steeper, the shade point will <br /> be the peak of the roof. (See Figure 9.2795(2) Shade Point Height (SPH) <br /> Measurement, Figure 9.2795(2)(a) R -1 Solar Setback Calculation, and Figure <br /> 9.2795(2)(b) R -2 Solar Setback Calculation.) <br /> Shadow Pattern. A graphic representation of an area that would be shaded by 22.6 <br /> degrees and an azimuth ranging between 30 degrees east and west of true north- south <br /> axis. (See Figure 9.2795(2) Shade Point Height (SPH) Measurement, Figure <br /> 9.2795(2)(a) R -1 Solar Setback Calculation, and Figure 9.2795(2)(b) R -2 Solar <br /> Setback Calculation.) <br /> Shopping Center. A development site with at least 50,000 square feet of gross floor <br /> Ordinance - 33 <br />
