A.
No land or building in any district shall be used or occupied in
any manner so as to create any dangerous, injurious, noxious, or otherwise
objectionable fire, explosive or other hazard, noise or vibration,
smoke, dust, odor or other form of air pollution, heat, cold, dampness,
electrical or other substance, condition or element in such a manner
or in such amount as to adversely affect the surrounding area or adjoining
premises (referred to herein as "dangerous or objectionable elements").
For proposed new uses where there is a question about whether there
will be compliance with the performance standards, the applicant shall
submit a plan of the proposed construction or development, including
a description of the proposed machinery, processes, products and specifications
for the mechanisms and techniques to be used in restricting the emission
of dangerous and objectionable elements.
A.
Traffic visibility. (See Figure 13.03.12-1)
1.
No obstructions such as structures, parking or vegetation shall be
permitted in any district between the heights of 2 1/2 feet and
10 feet above the plane through the mean curb grades within a triangular
space at the street corner of a corner lot or at the intersection
of a public alley with a street. Such space shall be determined by
measuring 20 feet each way from the corner lot at the street intersection
on each street lot line, or, in the case of an alley, by measuring
10 feet along the street line and 10 feet along the alley lot line
and forming a triangle by striking an imaginary line between said
points of measurement.

B.
Noise.
1.
All operations and activities within the City must conform to the
City's Noise Ordinance as set forth in Title 11.
C.
Vibration.
1.
No operation or activity shall transmit any physical vibration that
is above the vibration perception threshold of an individual at or
beyond the property line of the source. "Vibration perception threshold"
means the minimum ground- or structure-borne vibrational motion necessary
to cause a normal person to be aware of the vibration by such direct
means as, but not limited to, sensation by touch or visual observation
of moving objects.
2.
Vibrations not directly under the control of the property user and
vibrations from temporary construction or maintenance activities shall
be exempt from the above standard.
D.
External lighting.
1.
External lighting installations shall not be permitted closer than
three feet to an abutting parcel line and be adequately shielded and
hooded so that glare or illumination does not exceed one footcandle
measured at the lot line.
2.
Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be
directed away from residential properties and public streets in such
a way as not to create a nuisance. However, in no case shall such
lighting exceed one footcandle measured at the lot line.
3.
Where not specifically otherwise regulated, light poles shall not
exceed 30 feet in height.
4.
No operation or activity shall produce any intense glare or lighting
with the source directly visible beyond the boundary of an Industrial
or Commercial District.
E.
Odor.
1.
No operation or activity shall emit any substance or combination
of substances in such quantities that create an objectionable odor
as defined in § NR 429.03 Wis. Adm. Code, as may be amended.
F.
Particulate emissions.
1.
No operation or activity shall emit into the ambient air from any
direct or portable source any matter that will affect visibility in
excess of the limitations established in Chapter NR 415, Wis. Adm.
Code, as may be amended.
G.
Visible emissions.
1.
No operation or activity shall emit into the ambient air from any
direct or portable source any matter that will affect visibility in
excess of the limitations established in Chapter NR 431, Wis. Adm.
Code, as may be amended.
H.
Hazardous pollutants.
1.
No operation or activity shall emit any hazardous substances in such
a quantity, concentration or duration as to be injurious to human
health or property, and all emissions of hazardous substances shall
not exceed the limitations established in Chapter NR 445, Wis. Adm.
Code, as may be amended.
I.
Fire and explosion hazard.
1.
All activities involving and all storage of flammable and explosive
materials shall be provided at any point with adequate safety devices
against the hazard of fire and explosion and adequate firefighting
and fire-suppression equipment and devices standards in the industry.
Burning of waste materials in open fire shall be prohibited. The relevant
provisions of state and local laws and regulations shall also apply.
J.
Liquid or solid wastes.
1.
No discharge at any point into any public sewer, private sewage disposal
system or stream or into the ground, except in accord with standards
approved by the Department of Health of the state or standards equivalent
to those approved by such Department for similar uses of any materials
of such nature or temperature as can contaminate any water supply
or otherwise cause the emission of dangerous or offensive elements.
K.
Drainage designs.
1.
Runoff water from parking lots, roofs and driveways shall not be
allowed to cross sidewalks or to directly run onto private property
that is not a part of the site unless easements have been obtained.
Surface runoff waters shall be directed into municipal facilities;
where municipal facilities are not available, a dry well or drainage
area owned or controlled by the owner or developer shall be provided.
