have operated small businesses which provide services to the community from
their homes. The Board finds that these businesses have not impacted negatively
on the appearance of these residential zones. In the Board's judgment, it finds that
in order to maintain the economic viability of the Town, to maintain the rural
quality of life and in the interests of the welfare of the residents, these businesses
(or home occupations) should be permitted to continue. In setting forth the
following subsections, the Board intends to permit as of right certain business
uses in residential zones with the understanding that these uses are to be
conducted in a manner that will not alter the character of the residential
neighborhoods. The Board believes that the following subsections provide
sufficient safeguards to accomplish that aim. These uses shall be permitted,
provided that: [Amended 4-9-1991 by L.L. No. 10-1991; 7-28-1992 by L.L. No.
