(1) No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a Lot in such form or manner that they may be transferred off the Lot by natural causes or forces, nor shall any substance that can contaminate a Stream or Watercourse or otherwise render such a Stream or Watercourse undesirable as a source of water supply or recreation, or that will destroy aquatic life, be allowed to enter any Stream or Watercourse.
(2) All materials or wastes that may cause fumes or dust or that may be edible or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored only if enclosed in containers that are adequate to eliminate such hazards.
(3) Outdoor storage shall be completely screened from view of any adjacent residential Use. Buffering and screening requirements specified in the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance shall apply.
(4) Temporary storage of construction materials is allowed in all Zoning Districts while building site construction is continuously occurring. A lapse of one (1) month shall not be considered “continuously occurring.”

It shall be within the sole discretion of the City Planning Commission, by majority vote and in consultation with the City Engineer, to determine what constitutes a “reasonable measure”. The applicant shall also demonstrate compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, including notification and registration requirements.
