If the Zoning Officer has reason to believe that the proposed
use may have difficulty complying with the standards of this article,
then the Zoning Officer may require an applicant to provide written
descriptions of proposed machinery, hazardous substances, operations
and safeguards. The applicant may specify that portions of such submittal
shall be treated as confidential to be viewed only by Borough officials
without a business interest in such matters, in order to protect proprietary
information.
All methods of wastewater disposal shall meet requirements of
DEP, the Borough Sewer Authority and the Official Borough Sewage Facilities
Plan, as amended, as applicable.
No use shall generate vibration that is perceptible to an average
person through their senses, without the use of measuring instruments,
on private property beyond the exterior lot line of the use generating
the vibration. This requirement shall not apply to occasional nonroutine
blasting that may be necessary during construction of streets, structures
and utilities.
No use shall generate odors or dust that are significantly offensive
to persons of average sensitivities beyond the boundaries of the subject
lot.
A. This restriction shall not apply to odors or dust created by permitted
agricultural uses that are using "normal farming practices" within
Act 133 of 1982, as amended, the state Right to Farm Act, 3 P.S. §
951 et seq.; or an official agricultural security area. This odor
restriction shall apply to uses that do not follow the farming practices
referenced in those state laws, such as if manure is not plowed under
within a reasonable period of time.
