(A) The Village Council may grant a special permit for the generation, operation, or use of sound that would otherwise violate this chapter when the following conditions are met:
(1) The application contains information that demonstrates that bringing the source of sound or activity for which the special permit is sought into compliance with this chapter would constitute an unreasonable hardship on the applicant, on the community, or on other persons; and
(2) Such relief would be within the spirit and intent of this chapter, would not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare, and would not be materially injurious to surrounding properties and improvements.
(B) Applicants for a permit may be required to submit any information the Council may reasonably require. In granting or denying an application, the Council shall place on public file a copy of the decision and the reasons for denying or granting the permit. The permit shall be granted by notice to the applicant containing all necessary conditions, including the time limit on the permitted activity. The permit shall not become effective until all conditions are agreed to by the applicant. Noncompliance with any condition of the permit shall terminate it and subject the applicant to the provisions of this chapter regulating the source of sound or activity for which the permit was granted.
