§ 165-11 Performance standards.

Purpose. These performance standards are established to permit nuisances to be measured in terms of their potentially dangerous or objectionable elements rather than by classification of use which may not reflect actual conditions or nuisances. They are also established to provide controls to protect the community from dangerous or objectionable elements and to protect any potential use from arbitrary exclusion. New construction, new facilities and new activities shall not be permitted except in compliance with these standards. Any use already established on the effective date of this bylaw shall not be so altered or modified as to conflict with, or further conflict with, said performance standards.

Regulation of nuisance elements. No land, or building or structure in any district shall be used or occupied for nonresidential purposes in such a manner so that it will cause any dangerous, injurious, noxious or otherwise objectionable fire, explosion or other hazard; electrical or other disturbance; glare, or other substance, condition or element (referred to herein as "dangerous or objectionable elements") in such amount as to adversely affect the surrounding area or premises; provided that any use permitted by this bylaw may be undertaken and maintained in the respective district if it conforms to the regulations limiting dangerous and objectionable elements at the specified point or points of the determination of their existence, as provided herein.

Location where determinations are to be made for enforcement of performance standards. The determination of the existence of any dangerous or objectionable elements shall be made:

(1)

At the points where such elements shall be most apparent for fire and explosion hazards, for radioactivity and electrical disturbances, for smoke and other forms of air pollution.

(2)

At or beyond the property lines of the use creating such elements for glare, and for odors wherever the effect is greatest.

Lighting, glare and heat. Every use shall be so arranged that any glare or radiant heat produced is shielded so that it is not perceptible at or beyond any boundary line of the lot on which the use is located. Exterior lighting, including, but not necessarily limited to, lighting of exterior walls of buildings from an external light source, lighting of parking areas, walks and drives, shall be of such intensities and shielded in such a manner as to divert direct light away from and minimize indirect light cast on adjacent property or public ways.

Fire and explosion hazards. All activities involving and all storage of flammable and explosive materials shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion and adequate fire-fighting and fire suppression equipment and devices approved by the Town Fire Department.

Outdoor storage and waste disposal. No materials or wastes shall be deposited on a lot in such form or manner that they may be transferred off the lot by natural causes or forces.

(1)

All materials or wastes which constitute a fire hazard or which may be edible by or attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only in closed containers.

(2)

No discharge at any point into any public sewer, private sewage disposal system, or stream, or into the ground of any materials of such nature or temperature as can contaminate any water supply, or cause the emission of dangerous or offensive elements, shall be permitted, except in accordance with standards approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Board of Health of the Town of Lanesborough.
