(A) The town is recognized as a quiet, family-oriented beach community, and houses in the town are situated so that they are in close proximity. Residents and visitors come to the beach community to enjoy the relative peacefulness and serenity of the place, and excessive noise from one location can disturb the peace and become a nuisance to the public.
(B) Furthermore, it is recognized that excessive and unnecessary noise:
(1) Endangers the physical and emotional health and welfare of people who reside or vacation in the residential neighborhoods and on the beach strand of the town;
(2) Interferes with legitimate family and recreational activities;
(3) Depresses property and rental values;
(4) Contributes to potentially violent confrontations among persons occupying neighboring properties or enjoying the beach strand; and
(5) Requires police and public safety resources to respond to such disturbances and confrontations.
