§ 76-1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • It is generally recognized that the types of fuel used, and that the scale and duration of burning by outdoor furnaces, creates noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odors and air pollution, can be detrimental to citizens' health and can deprive neighboring residents of the enjoyment of their property or premises. Therefore, with the adoption of this chapter, it is the intention of the Village of Rhinebeck Board of Trustees to prohibit the construction and operation of outdoor furnaces within the limits of the Village for the purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare and prosperity of the Village and its inhabitants.
