The Commission shall permit an accessory structure on the lot to contain waste material awaiting pick up. Such structure must be approved by the Commission, including design, materials and screening.
   (c)   All uses shall be regulated to comply with the following performance standards at the nearest street or property line:

      (3)    Electrical disturbances shall not be created that would adversely affect the operation of sound, radio, television or computer equipment in any way.

   (c)   Landscaping, driveways and other permitted uses shall at all times be maintained in an orderly, neat, clean, sanitary and structurally sound condition, and all buildings, driveways or other structures shall be repaired in order to maintain substantially their original appearance and condition to prevent blight and unsightliness. Lawns and other landscaping shall be maintained in accordance with acceptable landscaping principles.
