Noise requirements for SEFs shall be the same as noise requirements for other types of development within residential zoning designations per Section 14.51.

At such time that any component of the SEF exceeds one (1) continuous year of inoperable status it shall be considered abandoned and the applicant and landowner shall be notified by the zoning administrator of the date of the component's abandonment

Within one (1) year of the date of abandonment, the applicant or landowner shall repair or replace the component, or complete the physical removal of the abandoned component(s).

SEFs shall be screened as determined by the board of supervisors in order to minimize visibility and aesthetic impacts to neighboring uses and roadways.

The landowner(s) or applicant shall provide the county with a surety equivalent to the cost of removal of the SEF prior to issuance of a site plan permit. The surety may be in the form of a bond, cash account, or cash escrow.
