(4) Limited exemptions. The following uses or situations shall have limited
exemptions from the noise standards of this section.
(a) Construction noise. No person shall use construction equipment on
buildings or construction sites between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and

equipment in residential areas between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
7:00 a.m.
(c) Residential power equipment. Power equipment intended for frequent

reasonable manner so as not to offend the peace and quiet of persons
of ordinary sensibilities. In all events, any and all residential
power equipment used within, or adjacent to, a residential area shall
be limited to use between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
(d) Loading and unloading. Loading, unloading, opening, closing or other
handling of boxes, crates, containers, building materials, or similar
objects between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in such a manner
as to cause a noise disturbance across a residential property line
shall be prohibited.
(5) General exemptions. The following activities are exempted from the
requirements of this section:
(a) Emergency work necessary to restore property to a safe condition
following fire, accident, or natural disaster; to restore public utilities;
or to protect persons or property from an imminent danger.
(b) Residential snow removal.
(c) Sound to be made to alert persons to the existence of an emergency,
danger or attempted crime.
(d) Activities or operations of governmental units or agencies.
(e) Parades, concerts, festivals, fairs, or similar activities, subject
to any sound limits established in the approval by the Village and
approved by the appropriate Village departments.
(f) Athletic, musical, or cultural activities or events (including practices
and rehearsals) conducted by or under the auspices of public or private
schools.
(1) Loitering or prowling prohibited generally. No person
shall loiter or prowl in a place, at a time or in a manner not usual
for law-abiding individuals under circumstances that warrant alarm
for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity. Among the circumstances
which may be considered in determining whether such alarm is warranted
is the fact that the person takes flight upon appearance of a police
or peace officer, refuses to identify himself or manifestly endeavors
to conceal himself or any object. Unless flight by the person or other
circumstances make it impracticable, a police or peace officer shall,
prior to any arrest for an offense under this subsection, afford the
person an opportunity to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be
warranted by requesting him to identify himself and explain his presence
and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this
subsection if the police or peace officer did not comply with the
preceding sentence or if it appears at trial that the explanation
given by the person was true and, if believed by the police or peace
officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm.
(2) Obstruction of traffic by loitering. No person shall
loaf or loiter in a group or crowd upon the public streets, alleys,
sidewalks, street crossings or bridges or in any other public place
within the Village in such manner as to prevent, interfere with or
obstruct the ordinary free use of such public streets, alleys, sidewalks,
street crossings or bridges or other public places by persons passing
along and over the same.
(3) Loitering after being requested to move.
(a) In groups or crowds. No person shall loaf or loiter
in a group or a crowd upon the public streets or sidewalks or in adjacent
doorways or entrances, on street crossings or bridges or in any other
public place or on any private premises without invitation from the
owner or occupant, after being requested to move by any police officer
or by any person in authority at such places.
(b) In places of public assembly or use. No person shall
loiter, lounge or loaf in or about any depot, theater, dance hall,
restaurant, store, public sidewalk, public parking lot or other place
of assembly or public use after being requested to move by any police
officer. Upon being requested to move, a person shall immediately
comply with such request by leaving the premises or the area thereof.
(c) In public or private school buildings or grounds.
No person not in official attendance or on official business shall
enter in, congregate or loiter in any school building or in any area
designated as "off limits" or "no trespassing" on any school grounds
by the school board or property owner in the Village of Greendale.
This shall not apply to guests of school officials.
[Amended 3-2-1999 by Ord. No. 763]
1. During school hours, no persons not in official attendance
or on official business shall enter in, congregate, loiter or drive
upon any school property without permission from the principal or
his/her designee. A parent who is waiting for his or her child is
deemed to have a proper purpose for being in the parking lot on school
grounds.
2. Recreational areas on school grounds may be utilized
by the public in accordance with the policy established by the school
district. During nonschool hours of darkness, no person without the
consent of school authority shall be allowed on school grounds designated
as "no trespassing" by the school board or property owner.
3. As used in this Subsection
(3)(c), "loiter" means to delay, linger or idle in or about any certain school property without a lawful purpose for being present.
4. This Subsection
(3)(c) shall not apply to persons walking on a Village right-of-way.
(d) Obstructing highways. No person shall obstruct any
street, bridge, sidewalk or crossing by lounging or loitering in or
upon the same after being requested to move on by any police officer.
(e) Loitering by minors near taverns. No minor shall loiter
on any public way, sidewalk or property within 100 feet of the entrance
or exit to any tavern within the Village. Any minor found to be in
violation of this subsection by a police officer shall be given an
opportunity to explain his presence and an opportunity to move on
at the request of such officer before further action is taken. Refusal
to explain and move on as requested shall constitute a violation and
the police officer may detain such minor until his parent or guardian
takes him into custody.
(1) Disturbing the peace. No person shall own or harbor
any animal or fowl which, by frequent and habitual howling, yelping,
barking or otherwise, causes serious annoyance or disturbance to persons
in the Village.
(2) Cruelty to animals and fowl.
[Amended by Ord. No. 634]
(a) Cruelty.
1. No person may cause, allow or themselves cruelly beat,
frighten, overburden, neglect or abuse any animal or bird or use any
device or chemical substance by which pain, suffering or death may
result, whether the animal belongs to the person or another, except
that reasonable force may be used to drive off vicious or trespassing
animals.
2. No person shall abandon any animal or bird or transport
any animal or bird in a cruel manner.
(b) Food and water. No person owning or having custody
of any animal or bird may neglect or fail to provide it with necessary
nourishing food at least once daily and provide a constant supply
of clean water to sustain the animal or bird in good health.
(c) Shelter.
1. No person may fail to provide any animal or bird in
his charge with shelter from inclement weather to ensure the protection
and comfort of the animal or bird.
2. When sunlight is likely to cause overheating or discomfort
to any animal or bird, shade shall be provided by natural or artificial
means to allow protection from the direct rays of the sun but still
allow air to pass to keep the animal cool.
3. Dogs and cats kept outdoors for more than one hour
