A pet cemetery which  commences operations on or after the effective date of this article  and  which  provides for the permanent interment of pets shall consist of not  less than  five  contiguous  acres  of  real  property  in  total  area,  inclusive  of  any structures, facilities, or buildings situated thereon  and used for the business purposes of the pet cemetery. The secretary of  state may grant a waiver of the minimum  size  limit  based  on  factors  including  the number of above-ground entombments, the number of remains  buried and the nature of the surrounding community. Nothing contained in  this section shall restrict any town, village or city from enacting  any  local  law  which  provides  for an area requirement greater than as set  forth herein.
