(A) The Village of Manchester Council is authorized to grant a temporary exemption from the maximum permissible sound levels established by §§ 92.050 et seq., if the temporary exemption would be in the public interest and there is no feasible or prudent alternative to the activity, or the method of conducting the activity, for which the temporary exemption is sought.
(B) The following factors shall be considered by the Village of Manchester Council in determining whether to grant a temporary exemption:
(1) The balance of the hardship to the applicant, the community and other persons in not granting the variance against the adverse impact on the health, safety, and welfare of persons adversely affected or any other adverse effects of the granting of the variance;
(2) The nearness of any residence or residences, or any other use which would be adversely affected by sound in excess of the limits prescribed by §§ 92.050 et seq.;
(3) The level of the sound to be generated by the event or activity;
(4) Whether the type of sound to be produced by the event or activity is usual or unusual for the location or area for which the variance is requested;
(5) The density of population of the area in which the event or activity is to take place;
(6) The time of day or night which the activity or event will take place; and
(7) The nature of the sound to be produced, including, but not limited to, whether the sound will be steady, intermittent, impulsive, or repetitive.
(C) A temporary exemption must be in writing and signed by the President of the Village of Manchester Council and must set forth the name of the party granted the exemption, the location of the property for which it is authorized, the date(s) and time(s) in which it is effective and the dBA level(s) authorized.
(D) A temporary exemption may be granted only for the period of time for which it is reasonably necessary to conduct the activity, which in no case shall exceed 30 days.
