105.02 The minimum yards and other open spaces, including the density of population provisions
contained in this Resolution for each and every building existing on the effective date of this Resolution
or any building hereinafter erected or structurally altered, shall not be encroached upon or considered
as yard or open space requirements for any other building.
105.03 Exemption of Agriculture
Pursuant to Section 519.21 of the Ohio Revised Code, nothing in this Resolution shall confer any power
upon the Trustees or upon the Board of Zoning Appeals of the Township to prohibit the use of any land
for agricultural purposes or the construction or use of building or structures incident to the use for
agricultural purposes of land on which such building or structures are located, and no zoning permit
shall be required for any such building or structure. Nothing within this section shall permit the
construction or use of residential structures in violation of other sections of this Zoning Resolution. Any
buildings located in such a way as to be a hazard to the traveling public or residents of this township
shall not be permitted to be located in violation of setback regulations for the district in which their
property is zoned.
105.04 Mobile Home Parks. No new mobile home parks shall be permitted on land within Boston
Township.
105.05 Mobile homes, camp buses or other vehicles on or off wheels and occupied as a residence shall
not be permitted on lots or lands in any of the district classifications herein established. However, the
Board of Zoning Appeals (after notice to parties of interest) may permit a mobile home to occupy space
upon a lot or lands for a period not to exceed two (2) years, providing a zoning permit has been
obtained for construction of a permanent residence, and adjacent property owners are notified in
writing by the Zoning Inspector. When said residential structure is ready for occupancy said mobile
home shall be removed from the premises. A recreational vehicle may be permitted on an owner-
occupied premise by visitors no more than two (2) times in a twelve (12) month period and shall not to
exceed twenty (20) days in total during that twelve (12) month period. A permit must be obtained from
the Zoning Inspector with a signed and notarized affidavit before the recreational vehicle is moved onto
the property. Failure to obtain such a permit subjects the violator to penalty as outlined in this
resolution.
105.06 Junk Yards. No junk yard, automobile dismantling and/or discarded motor vehicle dumps shall
be permitted within the confines of Boston Township.
