a. Any nearer the limits of any highway, in the case of a vacant lot, than the set-back from such highway required for buildings or structures other than ones of accessory use; and, in all other cases, than the lesser of (1) such set-back so required, and (2) the distance from such highway of the nearest existing dwelling or other structure on the lot on which such man-made material or other object is so stored, parked, or placed; or
b. Any nearer the limits of any lot line, in the case of a vacant lot, than the set-back from such lot line required for buildings or structures of accessory use; and, in all other cases, than the lessor of such set-back so required and the distance from the lot line of the nearest existing dwelling or other structure on the lot on which such man-made material or other object is so stored, parked, or placed; or

2. The provisions hereof shall not apply to boats or boat trailers drawn up on the beach, or to lobster pots, nets, and accessory equipment on, or directly adjacent to, the beach.
3. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section IX C 1, the Zoning Board of Adjustment may, as a Special Exception, allow the occupant of any premises in this Village District to store in the open a boat on such premises in a location otherwise prohibited by such Section and for such period of time as the Board may specify, if it is determined by the Board, after a hearing, that the boat cannot practicably be stored on such premises in a location allowed under Section IX C 1 and if it is further determined by the Board that such storage, taking into account the size of the boat and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant, shall not unreasonably interfere with the view from any residence nor otherwise be offensive, injurious or detrimental to the neighborhood.
D. SANITARY FACILITIES. No motor home, camper, trailer, R/V, travel trailer, boat or other conveyance shall be connected with water or sanitary facilities, or be occupied as a dwelling while being parked or stored in this Village District, and no waste water or sewage therefrom shall be emptied into any highway, parking lot, or wetland area in this Village District.
