No building may be erected, altered, or used,
and no lot or premises may be used in a residential and agriculture,
commercial, or floodplain district, for any use which is noxious or
offensive by reason of odor, dust, vibration, illumination, unsightliness,
or noise, or which constitutes a public hazard whether by fire, explosive,
or otherwise in the immediately surrounding area. In an industrial
district, no use which shall create a noxious, offensive, or hazardous
condition beyond a property line shall be permitted.
A.Â
In determining whether a proposed industrial use if
or may become noxious, hazardous, or offensive, the following standards
shall apply. The proposed use shall not:
(1)Â
Constitute any nuisance whatsoever, or any damage
to health, livestock, vegetables or any other property by reason of
dissemination of noxious, toxic or corrosive fumes, smoke, odor, or
dust beyond the property line.
(2)Â
Result in noise or vibration clearly exceeding the
average intensity of noise or vibration occurring from causes other
than the proposed operation at the property line.
(3)Â
Endanger surrounding areas by reason of fire or explosion.
(4)Â
Produce objectionable heat, glare or radiation beyond
the property line.
(5)Â
Result in electrical disturbance in nearby residences,
or adversely effect the operation of equipment of others located beyond
the property line.
(6)Â
Discharge any untreated sewage, or industrial waste
into any stream, or otherwise contribute to the pollution of surface
or underground waters, or the air of the Township.
(7)Â
Result in congestion or hazardous traffic conditions
on the highway or in adjacent area, or generate a nuisance to surrounding
property by reason of truck traffic.
(8)Â
Endanger the underground water level or supply to
other properties.
(9)Â
By its unsightliness, detract from the character of
the Township as a rural-residential community.
(10)Â
Create any other objectionable condition in
an adjoining area which will endanger the public health, safety, morals,
or general welfare or be detrimental to the proper use of the surrounding
area.
B.Â
The applicant, when required, shall demonstrate that:
(2)Â
Adequate provisions will be made to reduce and minimize
any objectionable elements to the degree necessary to insure that
the proposed use will not be noxious, hazardous, or offensive as defined
above.
(3)Â
The water supply is adequate to meet the additional
requirements without danger to the supply to other properties.
