network of the sound level meter. Impulsive type noises shall be subject
to the performance standards hereinafter prescribed, provided that such
39.
noises shall be capable of being accurately measured with such equip-
ment. Noises capable of being so measured, for the purpose of this
ordinance, shall be those noises which cause rapid fluctuations of the
needle of the sound level peter, with a variation of no more than plus
or minus two decibels. Noises incapable of being so measured, such as
those of an irregular and intermittent nature, shall be controlled so
as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses.
At no point on the boundary of a Residence or Business District shall
the sound intensity level of any individual operation or plant (other
than the operation of motor vehicles or other transportation facilities)
exceed the decibel levels in the designated octave bands shown in the
following table:

question, or if absent or failing to vote, indicating such fact, and shall also
keep records of its hearings and other official actions. Findings of fact shall
be included in the minutes of each case of a requested variation, and the reasons
for recommending or denying such variation shall be specified. Every rule or
regulation, every amendment or repeal thereof, and every order, requirement,
decision or determination of the Board shall be filed immediately in the office

the action appealed from was taken.

Section 6. amended Variations. When a property owner shows that a
strict application of the terms of this Ordinance relating to the use,
construction or alteration of buildings or structures, or to the use of
land, imposes upon him practical difficulties or particular hardship, then
the Board may recommend to the President and Board of Trustees that such
variations of the strict application of the terms of this Ordinance as are
in harmony with its general purposes and intent when the Board is satisfied,
under the evidence heard before it, if the President and Board of Trustees
grant the variation, such variation will not merely serve as a convenience
to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate some demonstrable hardship
or difficulty so great as to warrant a variation in the following instances:
(a) To permit the extension of a district where the boundary line of a
district divides a lot in single ownership as shown on record.
(b) To permit the reconstruction of a non -conforming building which
has been destroyed or damaged to an extent of more than fifty (50%) percent
of its value by fire, act of God, or the public enemy, where the Board shall
