A-weighted - a specific weighting of the sound pressure level for the purpose of determining the human response to sound. The specific weighting characteristics and tolerances are those given in American National Standards Institute S1.4-1983, Section 5.01. Abandoned Vehicle-Any motor vehicle which is determined by the Zoning Administrator, Chief of Police, or their assigns, to be an inoperable vehicle as herein defined or to which the last registered owner of record has relinquished dominion and control or which does not have attached to it current license plates or tabs as required by State law. Agricultural Land - the areas in Minnesota lying south and west of a line along the following highway right-of-way: starting at the North Dakota border, the line goes east along State Highway lata State Highway 23, then follows Highway 23 east to State Highway 95, which it follows to the Wisconsin border. The agricultural zone referred to in this guide applies only to A TV use. All-terrain V chicle (A TV) - motorized, flotation-tired vehicles with at least three (3), but no more than six (6) low pressure tires. dBA -- unit of sound level expressed in decibels (dB) and A-weighted (A). Daytime - those hours from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Decibcl- a unit of sound pressure level, abbreviated as "dB". Dwelling Unit - a residential building or portion thereof intended for occupancy including but not limited to single or multi-unit homes, apartments, hotels, motels, nursing homes, seasonal cabins, boarding or rooming houses, tourist homes or trailers. Impulsive Noise - either a single sound pressure peak (with either a rise time less than 200 milliseconds or total duration less than 200 milliseconds) or multiple sound pressure peaks (with either rise times less than 200 milliseconds or total duration less than 200 milliseconds) spaced at least by 200 millisecond pauses. Inoperable vehicle- Any motor vehicle which cannot be driven or propelled under its own power in its existing condition or which cannot be driven or propelled under its own power in a safe manner because of its wrecked, junked, or partially dismantled condition at the time of inspection and/or abatement. LIO - a sound level, expressed in decibels (dB A) which exceeded ten (10) percent of the time for a one (1) hour time period, as measured by test procedures approved by the commISSIOner. LSO - a sound level, expressed in decibels (dBA) which exceeded fifty (50) percent of the time for a one (1) hour time period, as measured by test procedures approved by the commISSIOner. Motor V chicle -every vehicle which is self-propelled and every vehicle which is -207-
