of noise, smell or other cause. Such special permit shall be revocable
at any time by the Board of Trustees upon notice to the permit holder
and after holding a public hearing thereon. Any existing use shall

such fine and imprisonment. The continuation of an offense against
the provisions of this article shall constitute, for each day the
offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder.
