   4.   No building or structure shall be constructed with one hundred fifty (150) feet of any lot line of a lot located in a Residence District nor shall an existing building, structure or land be used in connection with the operations of any establishment in the one hundred fifty (150) foot area except off-street parking spaces may be located within this area in accordance with regulations hereinafter set forth in Section 12.00.

   5.   Any use established or on-going in a Manufacturing District shall be operated in such a manner as to comply with applicable performance standards as hereinafter set forth and as set forth by other governmental and regulatory agencies, governing noise, smoke particulate matter, toxic or noxious matter, odors, fire and explosive hazards, vibration, glare or heat; and no use already established on the effective date of this Ordinance shall be so altered or modified as to conflict with such applicable performance standards.

      a.   Performance Standards - Noise. Sound levels shall be measured, kept and be in compliance with applicable rules and regulations of the State of Illinois Title 35: Environmental Protection, Subtitle H: Noise, Chapter 1, Pollution Control Board, as amended.

      b.   Performance Standards - Smoke Particulate Matter. The emission of smoke or particulate matter in such manner or quantity as to endanger or to be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort or welfare is hereby declared to be a public nuisance, and shall henceforth be unlawful.

      For the purpose of grading the density of smoke, the Ringlemann Chart, published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be employed. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density greater than No. 2 on the Ringlemann Chart is prohibited at all times except as otherwise provided hereinafter.

      The emission from all sources within any lot area of particulate matter containing more than ten (10) percent by weight of particles having a particle diameter larger than forty-four (44) microns is prohibited.

      Dust and other types of air pollution, borne by the wind from such sources as storage areas, yards, roads, and the like, within lot boundaries, shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling, fencing, or other acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources in excess of the weight limitation hereinafter specified is prohibited.

      c.   Performance Standards - Toxic or Noxious Matter. No use shall, for any period of time, discharge across the boundaries of the lot wherein it is located, toxic or noxious matter in such concentrations as to be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety comfort, welfare, or cause injury or damage to property business.

      d.   Performance Standards - Odors. The emission of odorous matter in such a quality as to be readily detectable at any point along lot lines or as to produce a public nuisance or hazard beyond lot lines is prohibited.

      e.   Performance Standards - Fire and Explosion Hazard.

         (1)   The storage, utilization or manufacture of materials or products ranging from incombustible to moderate burning as determined for liquids by a closed-cup flash point of not less than one hundred eighty-seven degrees Fahrenheit (187°F) is permitted subject to compliance with all other performance standards for Manufacturing District.

         (2)   The storage, utilization, or manufacture of materials or products ranging from free or active burning to intense burning — as determined for liquids by a closed-cup flash point of less than one hundred eighty-seven degrees Fahrenheit (187°F) but not than one hundred and five degrees Fahrenheit (105°F) is permitted subject to compliance with all other performance standards for the Manufacturing District and provided the following conditions are met:

            (a)   Said materials or products shall be stored, utilized, or produced within completely enclosed buildings or structures having incombustible exterior walls.

            (b)   All such buildings or structures shall be set back at least forty (40) feet from lot lines, in lieu thereof, all such buildings or structures shall be protected throughout by an automatic sprinkler system (or a carbon dioxide system of equal protection) complying with installation standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association, or if the materials, goods, or products are liquids, the protection thereof shall be in conformity with standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association.

         (3)   The utilization in the manufacturing processes of materials which produce flammable or explosive vapors or gasses - as determined for liquids by closed cup flash point of less that one hundred five degrees (105°F) shall be permitted in this district provided:

            (a)   That the final manufactured product does not itself have a closed cup flash point of less than one hundred eighty-seven degrees Fahrenheit (187°F);

            (b)   That the use an storage of such materials shall be in conformity with standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association and the requirements of other ordinances in the Village Code of Itasca;

            (c)   That the storage of more than fifteen hundred (1,500) gallons of materials or products having a closed-cup flash point of less than one hundred and five degrees Fahrenheit (105°F) (exclusive of storage in underground tanks), or two (2) hour fire-rated above ground tanks, and exclusive of storage of finished products in original sealed containers) is prohibited; and

            (d)   That the storage of more than two thousand five hundred (2,500) gallons of materials or products having a closed-cup flash point of less than one hundred eighty-seven degrees Fahrenheit (187°F) (exclusive of storage in underground tanks, or two (2) hour fire-rated above ground tanks, and exclusive of storage of finished products in original sealed containers) is prohibited.

      f.   Performance Standards - Glare or Heat: Any operation producing intense glare or heat shall be performed within completely enclosed buildings in such a manner as not to create a public nuisance or hazard along lot lines.

      g.   Performance Standards - Vibration: No industrial operation or activity (except those not under direct control of the manufacturer) shall cause at any time, ground transmitted vibrations in excess of the limits set forth herein. Vibration (the periodic displacement, measured in inches of each) shall be measured at any point along a Residence District boundary line with a three (3) component measuring instrument approved by the Village Board, and shall be expressed as displacement in inches.

For the purpose of this provision, the property owner shall submit to the Village a study identifying all available scientific or technical measures used to achieve such a measurable average annual milligaus levels but which were not deemed reasonable. In addition, such study shall include a documented projection of the anticipated measurable average milligaus level at any property line.
