               1 when measured at or beyond the property line of the property from which the sound

               driveways, fences, hedges, or other physical features commonly associated with property
               boundaries are presumed to be at a point which is at or beyond the property line.
               In all cases the maximum sound level permitted by use occupancy shall be determined
               on the basis of the use occupancy of the property from which the sound originates
               and not by the use occupancy of any surrounding property. Sound, which originates
               from a dwelling unit in a duplex or other multifamily housing unit shall be measured
               from any point, which is at least 25 lineal feet, whether inside or outside a building,
               from the nearest point of the enclosed or habitable space of the dwelling unit from
               which the sound originates.
