Special Permit Required for Temporary Events
A. Activities such as music festivals and car shows that are of a decidedly temporary nature or of short duration which will, because of unusual circumstances, be unable to meet the minimum requirements of the performance standards may be allowed under the provisions of a Special Permit issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. The conditions of issuance for this permit are:
 
1. The proposed activity or use will not continue beyond a maximum time period of one (1) week. If, in the judgment of the Code Enforcement Officer, additional time is necessary or desirable, extensions of the Permit may be granted for additional one week periods. Upon expiration of the Special Permit the activity must be immediately discontinued or brought into conformance with the minimum standards of performance or be violation of this code.

2. The proposed activity will not create, cause, or increase any health, safety, or public nuisance problems. In making this determination, the Code Enforcement Officer shall seek input from the Fire Chief and Public Works Director.

3. The proposed activity will not cause immediate or future damage to adjacent properties.

4. Reasonable provisions are made to prevent or minimize harmful environmental impacts of the proposed activity.

B. To assist the Code Enforcement Officer in making these determinations a public hearing may be required for the purpose of soliciting additional information or other municipal boards and commissions may be consulted. If an extension of a Special Permit beyond one (1) week is requested, the Code Enforcement Officer must obtain the concurrence of the Planning Board before such an extension is granted.
