By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorA noise exemption will now be required for special community events that may be considered excessive in the Village of Innsbrook.Trustees last week adopted a new ordinance establishing guidelines dealing with special community event noise issues. The decision was made at the March 10 meeting, following months of discussion.Requests for an exemption must be submitted to the village administrator by 4:30 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to a Board of Trustee meeting. The request must include the dates, times and reasons for the exemption. The board normally meets the second Tuesday of every month.The person making the request is required to be present at the trustee meeting, according to the request form.A village resident previously had raised concerns about the noise level coming from summer music concerts hosted by Innsbrook Resort. He was concerned that a new venue for the events will be even closer to his home. Future concerts are slated for a new recreation complex under construction near the intersection of Highway F and Stracks Church Road.The board will either approve, disapprove or place special conditions on the noise request, according to the ordinance.In other news• Also at the March 10 meeting, trustees approved a resident’s request to have a “Street Not Thru” sign placed on Highway F Drive. The request had been reviewed at last month’s meeting.The sign will cost around $50 and will be funded through the neighborhood improvement program since the request is for a private road.• The final payment has been made to the contractor in charge of the Highway F shoulder widening project, according to Administrator Chris McCormick. She said easements that were obtained have to be turned over to MoDOT. An ordinance will have to be approved at a future meeting.The project consisted of constructing 4-foot-wide, 6-inch-thick aggregate shoulders. Work on the project, which covered 1.6 miles from the Highway M intersection to Oakwood Estate, was done last year.• Trustee Jerry Rust was reappointed to the planning and zoning commission. He serves as the liaison between the two boards.• Officials continue to talk about having dry fire hydrants installed to increase water accessibility for fire crews.Innsbrook
