Body
BACKGROUND SUMMARY: At the April 21, 2025, council work session, council asked the Town Attorney to draft proposed changes to Town Code 10-20.1 Noise, that would limit the number of gas or electric lawn care equipment being used in residential zones during certain hours. Based on the preliminary discussions with the Town Council, the Town Attorney drafted some language that may address the goal of limiting the amount of noise generated by lawn care equipment at specific times.
OVERVIEW: The draft changes to Town Code 10-20.1 Noise (c-4) would not allow more than one piece of gas or electric equipment to be operated on any residential zoned property before 8:00 a.m. Monday - Friday and before 9:00 a.m. Saturday, Sunday and federal holidays.
SUMMARY/STAFF IMPRESSIONS: If council chooses, they could direct staff to begin the process of changing Town Code 10-20.1 Noise
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend Council discuss any changes they may or may not want to make to Town Code.
