The determination by the Zoning Administrator may be appealed as provided in § 525-92.
A.
Purpose. The intent of this district is to maintain
highly productive agricultural lands in agricultural production by
effectively limiting encroachment of nonagricultural development;
by minimizing land use conflicts between agricultural and nonagricultural
uses; and by minimizing public service and facility costs associated
with nonagricultural development. This district is further intended
to comply with standards contained in Ch. 91, Wis. Stats., to permit
eligible landowners to receive tax credits under § 71.09,
Wis. Stats., in connection with their agricultural operations.

sod farming, placing land in federal programs in return for payments
in kind, owning land at least 35 acres of which is enrolled in the

related uses. It is anticipated that while certain areas within this
district will eventually be used for nonagricultural uses; the intensity
of development will remain significantly limited due to a lack of
urban facilities and services. It is also intended that this district
provide for small-scale family-oriented businesses on a case-by-case

(b)
All noise shall be so muffled or otherwise controlled as not
to become objectionable due to intermittence, duration, beat frequency,
impulse character, periodic character or shrillness.
(2)
Vibration.
(a)
No operation or activity shall transmit any physical 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.
(b)
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.
(3)
External lighting. No operation or activity shall produce any intense
glare or lighting with the source directly visible beyond an Industrial
District's boundaries.
(4)
Odor. 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.
(5)
Particulate emissions. 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 Ch.
NR 415, Wis. Adm. Code.
(6)
Visible emissions. 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 Ch. NR 431,
Wis. Adm. Code.
(7)
Hazardous pollutants. 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 Ch. NR
