   (B)   Refuse to issue such permit when the activity or purpose stated in the application would violate any law or ordinance of the town or state law, or when the activity or purpose would constitute a clear and present danger to the public health or safety or would unreasonably hinder or prevent the orderly movement of pedestrian or vehicular traffic on the streets, alleys or sidewalks;
   (C)   Specify in the permit whether or not minors below the age of 18 years will be permitted to participate.
