able to principal buildings other than
<br />single family homes, and accordingly
<br />the following provisions of this Para-
<br />graph' A are applicable directly to prin-
<br />cipal buildings other than single fam-
<br />ily homes.
<br />The application for a building per-
<br />mit for a principal building shall be
<br />accompanied by plans showing the ex-
<br />terior elevations of the proposed build-
<br />ing, adequately and accurately indicat-
<br />ing thereon the height, size, bulk and
<br />design of all elevations. In addition a
<br />description shall be furnished of the con-
<br />struction and materials proposed to be
<br />used therein. A complete site plan show-
<br />ing landscaping, off street parking,
<br />structure locations, grades, and access
<br />drives shall also be furnished.
<br />Plans for such principal buildings
<br />shall be submitted to the Planning Com-
<br />mission for review; a report thereon
<br />shall be submitted to the Village Coun-
<br />cil within 30 days following receipt of
<br />the plans by said Commission; the Coun-
<br />cii may grant or deny the issuance of
<br />a building permit within 60 days follow-
<br />ing receipt of a report from the Plan-
<br />ning Commission.
<br />It is considered generally undesirable
<br />that the following materials should be
<br />used on the exterior wall surfaces of
<br />such principal buildings when the build-
<br />ings are visible from a public street:
<br />sheet metal, whether corrugated or plain,
<br />unfinished structural clay tile, com-
<br />mon concrete masonry units, concrete
<br />brick, or similar materials. Such mater-
<br />ials, however, may be used in a proper
<br />arrangement, or in combination with
<br />other materials of a permanent nature
<br />with good architectural design and ap-
<br />peal, all in conformance with the gen-
<br />eral considerations hereinbefore set
<br />forth.
<br />B. Exterior Storage
<br />In residential districts, all materials
<br />and equipment shall be stored within a
<br />building or fully screened so as not to
<br />be visible from adjoining properties, ex-

<br />and landscaping materials and equip-
<br />ment currently (within period of 12
<br />months) being used on the premises,
<br />agricultural equipment and materials if
<br />these are used or intended for use on
<br />the premises, off-street parking of pass-
<br />enger automobiles and pick-up trucks.

<br />20. feet in length, are permissible if
<br />stored in the rear yard more than ten

<br />In all districts, all waste materials,
<br />debris, refuse, or garbage shall be kept
<br />in an enclosed building or properly
<br />screened and -contained in a closed con-

<br />Ordinance.
<br />Passenger vehicles and trucks in an
<br />inoperable state shall not be parked out-

<br />try shall provide screening along the
<br />boundary of the residential property.
<br />Screening shall also be provided where a
<br />business, parking lot, or industry is
<br />across the street from a residential zone,
