of their homes and property; to insure to the owners and occupants
of permitted uses the full use, benefit and prestige of a Planned
Industrial District of exemplary standards in selected areas deemed
especially adapted by reason of surroundings, transportation facilities
and other factors to such land use; and to enable the District to
make its fair and continuing contribution to the general welfare of
the Village of Chanhassen and its neighboring communities.
Section 2. Boundaries of Planned Industrial District. The
following described tracts and parcels of land are hereby zoned as
a Planned Industrial District:

noise, vibration, dust, dirt, smoke, odor, noxious
gases, glare or wastes shall not be permitted. These
residual features shall be considered as "excessive"
when they either exceed or deviate from the limitations
set forth in the following performance specifications:
(1) Noise. Noise shall be muffled so as not to become
objectionable due to intermittence, beat frequency,
shrillness or intensity. At the property line,
the sound pressure level of noise radiated from
a facility shall not exceed the values given in
Table I herein. The sound pressure level shall
be measured with a sound level meter and on an
associated octave band analyzer, both of which are
manufactured according to current specifications
prescribed by the American Standards Association.
Measurement shall be made using the flat network
of the sound level meter.

(2) Vibration. No activity or operation shall at any
time cause earth vibrations preceptible beyond the
limits of the immediate site on which the operation
is located.
(3) Dust and Dirt. Solid or liquid particles shall
not be emitted at any point in concentrations
exceeding 0.1 grains per cubic foot of the conveying
gas or air. For measurement of the amount of
particles in gases resulting from combustion,
standard corrections shall be applied to a stack
temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit and 50%
excess air.
(4) Smoke. Measurement shall be at the point of emission.
The Ringelman Smoke Chart published by the United
States Bureau of Mines shall be used for the
measurement of smoke. Smoke not darker or more
opaque than No. 1 of said chart may be emitted,
provided that smoke not darker or more opaque than
No. 2 of said chart may be emitted for periods not
• longer than four minutes in any 30 minute period.
These provisions, applicable to visible grey smoke,
_shall also apply to visible smoke of a different
color but with an equivalent apparent opacity.
-10-
Odor. No activity or operation sha 0use at
any time the discharge of toxic, noxious or odorous
matter beyond the limits of the immediate site
where it is located in such concentrations as to
be offensive or detrimental or endanger the public
• health, welfare, comfort or safety or cause injury
to property or business.
(6) Glare. Glare, whether direct or reflected, such
as from spot lights or high temperature processes,
and as differentiated from general illumination,
shall not be visible beyond the limits of the
immediate site from which it originates.

shall be kept within a completely enclosed building
or contained in a closed container designed for
such purpose. All liquid wastes containing any
organic or toxic matter shall be disposed of in
a manner prescribed by the Village Engineer. The
Village Engineer shall prescribe the manner of
treatment and disposal in the case of large volume
water usage.
In order to assure compliance with the performance
standards set forth above, the Village Council may
require the owner or operator of any permitted use to
make such investigations and tests as may be required
to show adjerence to the performance standards. Such
• investigation and tests as are required to be made shall
be carried out by an independent testing organization
as may be agreed upon by all parties concerned, or if
there is failure to agree, by such independent testing

Oaniz*ation as may be selected by the C 1 after
30 days notice. The costs incurred in having such
investigations or tests conducted shall be shared
equally by the owner or operator and the Village,
unless the investigation and tests disclose non-compliance
with the performance standards, in which event the
entire investigation or testing cost shall be paid by
the owner or operator.
The procedure above stated shall not preclude the
Village from making any tests and investigations it
finds appropriate to determine compliance with these
performance standards.
