(A) It is recognized that in initiating community noise limits, any number of unanticipated situations may occur. Although the city is primarily concerned with protecting, preserving and promoting the health, safety, welfare and peace and quiet of the citizens of Manchester, the city realizes that there may be preexisting conditions that need an extended period of time to conform to the noise limits imposed by this chapter. The city also recognizes that events or incidents can occur where there was every good faith expectation of complying with the noise limits imposed by this chapter, but for some unforeseen circumstance, those events or incidents failed to comply.
(B) This section hereby establishes a Noise Variance Board in which members shall approve or deny variances to this chapter, hereinafter referred to as a noise variance. The Board shall consist of the Committee on Administration of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
