Definitions Applicable to Industrial Performance
Standards
1. Decible: A decibel. is a unit of measurement of the
intensity of sound.
2. Displacement (Vibration): Displacement is the amount ot
motion Involved In a vibratIon. As used in this ordinance, it
applies to the D18Ximum instantaneous vector SUlll of the three
mutually perpendiCUlar single amplitude components mea.ured.
MathematIcally, It Is equal to the square root of tbe SUII of
square. of the three mutually perpendicular components.
3. . P'ootcandle: A unit of illumination intensity.
4. ~equencJ": The number of time8 per second a vibration
or sound wave will oseillate. The tone of pitCh of a Bound
wave will depend upon its frequency.
s.
ImpaQ't noi8e: A transient ~oise which does not remdn at
a partiCUlar !ntensity level for a sufficient time to be
accurately measured on a sound level meter.
Im.Pa~t noise analJ"zer: A impact noise analyzer Is an
inatrument ~8ed In conjunction with a Bound level meter to
mealure the peak intensitr (in decibels) of a transient nol...
Octa)e Band: A portion of tbe audible sound .pectrwa.,
Ootave ban4 analyzers convenlent1r dlvide the audible band
.peotrulft into eight (8) oota\te 'bands. ' '"
OdoUOUll Matter: Any 8011d, liquid, 01' ga..oua _tter .
eluding but not I1m1 ted to gase., vapora, dust., fumes, and
mist. which cause an odor senaation to human beings.

strument used in conj~~ction with a so~~~ level meter to
measure the sound intensity. ,{in decibels) in each of the eight,
(8) octave bands that make up the significant audible range to
which the ear is sensitive. An octave band analyzer that meets
applicable requirements of the American Standards Association
is suitable for use in determining compliance with this ordinanoe.
10. Particulate Matter: Finely divided solid or liquid matter
other than water wh1ch 1s released into the atmosphere.
11. Ringlemann Chart: A chart as described by the U. S. Bur-
eau of Mines Inrormatlon Circular 6888 and upon which are
illustrated graduated shades of gray for use in estimating
the light obscuration power of smoke.
12. RinKlemann Number: The next lowest shade number on the
Ringlemann Chart wh1ch most nearly corresponds to the light
obscuration power of the smoke being measured. For example,
smoke opacity lying between No. 1 and No.2 shades of ~&J
on the Ringlemann Chart will be measured as Ringlemann No. 1
smoke.
13. Smoke: The visible discharge from a chimney, stack, vent,
exhaust, or combustion process which is made up of particulate
matter.

14. Sound Level Meter: A sound level meter is an instrument
used to measure the total intensity of a sound (in decibelS)
without regard to its frequency composition. A sound level
meter that meets applicable requirements of the American Stand-
ards Association is suitable for use in determining complianoe
with this ordinance.
1S. .' Three-Component Measuring S:rstem: A three-component
measuring system is an instrument or complement of instrwnents
which records earthborne vibration simultaneously in three
mutually perpendicular directions.
16. Toxic and Noxious Matter: Toxic and noxious matter is aI'lJ
solid, liquid, or gaseoue matter, including but not limited to
gases, vapors, dusts, fumes, and mists which may be detrimental
to or endanger the health, safety, comfort, or welfare of per-
sons in the vicinity and/or cause injury or damage mpropert1
when present in relatively small amounts.
17. Vibration: Vibration 1s the periodic displacement ot the
earth measured in inches.

Revised Civil Statutes, and any amendments thereto are hereby adopted, and the
provisions of this ordinance are adopted in exercise of power granted to muni-
cipalities by such statute as well as all other powers granted to cities through
appropriate provisions of the laws and Constitution of the State of Texas.
SECTION 3, PURPOSE: This ordinance is to provide for the harmonious develop-
ment of the City of Lomax and its environs, for the coordination of streets

which will tend to create conditions favorable to health, safety, morale, and
the general t'l7elfare of the City of Lomax, hereinafter referred to as the City.
SECTION 4, SCOPE AND JURISDICTION: Hereafter, before any plan, plat, or replat

County Clerk, it shall be first approved by the City Council in conformance
with the provisions of this ordinance. The filing of any plan, plat, or replat

neering costs covering design, layout and construction. ~fuen a street

improvements beyond the subdivision in question, or to serve other subdivi-
sions.

width, grade, and locations of all streets shall conform to the City
specifications and shall be considered in their relation to existing and
planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public safety and con-
venience, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land

traverses any part of the land being subdivided, that portion of the major
or collector street as planned at the proposed right-of-way width shall be
incorporated in the subdivision plan and shall be dedicated to the appro-
priate government. The street layout shall be devised for the most advan-'
tageous development of the entire neighborhood development and shall con-
form to connecting streets in land adjacent to the nel'l1 subdivision. Provision
shall be made within the subdivision to provide street access to adjacent un-
developed acreage in such a way as to assure adequate circulation for future
development. Deadend streets and those which do not conform to adjacent
established streets are to be avoided whenever possible. ~~ere a subdivi-
sion abuts or contains an existing or proposed major street, reverse front-
age lots may be required.

the adequate for the uses proposed. The street system layout shall be so
designed insofar as practicable to preserve natural features such as trees,
brooks,hilltops, scenic views and other such features. The street system
layout shall provide for the acceptable disposal of storm water and provi-
sion shall be made by the developer to handle storm water to comply with pro-
visions elsewhere in this ordinance.

side. Alleys with only one point of access shall have a turnaround with
a minimum radius of 20 feet at their closed ends.

or more for reverse curves. Minimum tangent between points of curvature shall

(b) 800 feet for multi-family and commercial developments.
3. Temporary turn-arounds, conforming to the minimum radii requirements are
to be used where curb and gutter are not installed at the end of a street
more than 400 feet long which will be extended in the future. (The fol-
lowing note shall be provided on the final plat when a temporary turn-
around is used. "Cross-hatched area is temporary easement for turn- II
around until street is extended (direction) in a recorded plat."
G. PARTIAL OR HALF-STREETS:
1. Partial or half-streets should be avoided but may be provided inside the
city limits where the City Council feels that a street should be loca-
ted on a property line to permit reasonable development.
2. Any such dedication of a partial or half-street shall require that the
follm~~g note be shown on the final plat.
"This foot strip is dedicated as an easement for
all utility purposes including storm and sanitary sewers and
shall automatically become dedicated for street purposes when
and insofar as a foot strip adjacent ot it is so dedi-

be shown on the face of the final plat:
"A one-foot strip is reserved as a buffer separation along and
between the side' or end of all streets in this subdivision plat
~~ere such streets abut adjacent tracts. At such time as the
adjacent property is subdivided in a recorded plat, the one-foot
reserves at such locations that abut land in adjoining tracts that
has been dedicated to the public for street right-of-way purposes
and is shown for such purpose on a recorded plat shall thereupon
