[Ord. No. 288, 8/8/1994]
The Borough Council of the Borough of Elizabethville, finding
that excessive levels of sound are detrimental to the physical, mental
and social wellbeing of the people as well as to their comfort, living
conditions, general welfare and safety and being therefore a public
health and welfare hazard, hereby declares it to be necessary to provide
for the greater control and more effective regulation of excessive
sound and the sources of excessive sound within the Borough.
[Ord. No. 288, 8/8/1994]
It shall be illegal within the Borough for any person or persons
to own, possess, harbor, or control any animal or bird which makes
any noise continuously and/or incessantly for a period of 10 minutes
or makes such noise intermittently for 1/2 hour or more to the disturbance
of any person any time of the day or night regardless of whether the
animal or bird is physically situated in or upon private property,
said noise being a nuisance; provided, that at the time the animal
or bird is making such noise no person is trespassing or threatening
to trespass upon private property in or upon which the animal or bird
is situated nor is there any other legitimate cause which justifiably
provoked the animal or bird.
[Ord. No. 288, 8/8/1994]
This Part shall not be deemed to prohibit or otherwise declare
unlawful any agricultural operations protected from nuisance suits
by Act No. 1982-133.
