[Ord. 97; 97-39]
As a condition of approval and the continuance of any use, occupancy
of any structure, and the operation of any process or equipment, the
applicant shall supply evidence, satisfactory to the Planning Board
or to its designated representative, that the proposed use, structure,
process, or equipment will conform fully with all of the applicable
performance standards. As evidence of compliance, the Board may require
certification of tests by appropriate government agencies or by recognized
testing laboratories, any costs thereof to be borne by the applicant.
The Planning Board may require that specific types of equipment, machinery,
or devices be installed, or that specific operating procedures or
methods be followed if the government agencies or testing laboratories
examining the proposed operation shall determine that the use of such
specific types of machinery, equipment, devices, procedures or methods
are required in order to assure compliance with the applicable performance
standards. Permits and certificates required by other government agencies
shall be submitted to the Planning Board as proof of compliance with
applicable codes.
In the event a determination cannot be made at the time of application
that a proposed use, process or piece of equipment will meet the standards
established in this article, the Planning Board may issue or may recommend
issuance of a conditional permit. The conditional permit would be
based on submission of evidence that the proposed use, process or
equipment will meet the standards established herein after completion
or installation and operation. Within 30 days after a temporary certificate
of occupancy is granted a final permit shall be applied for and satisfactory
evidence submitted that all standards established by this article
have been met.
Continued compliance with the performance standards stated herein
shall be a requirement for the continued occupancy of any structure
or the operation of any process or equipment.
No activity or use shall be permitted, established, maintained,
or conducted in any district unless such activity or use complies
with the following standards:
No excessive smoke, fumes, gas, dust, odor or any other atmospheric
pollutant shall be permitted beyond the boundaries of the lot whereon
the use is located. Excessive smoke shall be all smoke of a shade
or appearance darker than No. 2 on the Ringlemann Scale for grading
the density of smoke, published by the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
No pollution by the discharge of any waste material whatsoever
into any watercourse, open ditch or land surface shall be permitted.
No waste material whatsoever shall be discharged into any sanitary
disposal system or sewerage system except as permitted by relevant
public health authorities and public sewerage control bodies. Any
chemical or industrial waste which, in the determination of the Borough
Engineer, places undue loads on the municipal sewerage system shall
not be discharged into such system and must be treated by the use
generating such wastes.
[Ord. 97-08]
Except for R-Ag and R-100 zoning districts, no premises shall
be developed unless served by municipal water supply and sanitary
sewer system.
No activity shall create a physical hazard by reason of fire,
explosion, radiation or other such cause, to persons or property in
the same or adjacent districts.
No nuisance factors shall be generated.
No equipment or material shall be stored in such a manner that
facilitates the breeding of vermin or endangers health in any way.
Storage shall be in accordance with Subsection 5.360.
[Ord. 97-08; 97-32]
Except for the R-AG and R-100 zoning districts, no premises
shall be developed unless positive drainage of the site is provided.
Drainage shall be provided by means of structural and non-structural
methods, with and without curbing, and where possible shall incorporate
natural vegetated swales in lieu of inlets and pipes; and allow for
curb cuts or flush curbs with curb stops for stormwater conveyance
and to allow disconnection of impervious areas. Within the R-AG and
R-100 zoning districts, such improvements shall be required by the
Planning Board on advice of the Borough Engineer.
[Ord. 97-08]
Except for the R-AG and R-100 zoning districts, no premises

Within the R-Ag and R-100 zoning districts, such improvements may
be required by the Planning Board on advice of the Borough Engineer.
These standards shall be enforced in accordance with the provisions
of Section 11.100 et seq. of this Ordinance.
