Innsbrook officials reviewing special noise permit

Posted

Record Managing EditorInnsbrook village officials are working to implement regulations that would allow an exemption for excessive noise.At the Feb. 10 board of trustees meeting, members reviewed a proposed special noise permit that could be required for loud or unusual noise.Final approval is expected to be taken at the next meeting scheduled for March 10 at 7 p.m.The regulation was prompted by a resident who had raised concerns about the noise level coming from summer music concerts hosted by Innsbrook Resort and that a new venue for the events will be even closer to his home.Once construction of a new recreation complex is completed, the concerts will be held at a venue located near the intersection of Highway F and Stracks Church Road.The proposed ordinance is modeled after one currently used in Warrenton.Under that ordinance, it is unlawful to make loud or unusual noise in a residential area or adjacent to a residential area between 10 p.m.-6 a.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m.-8 a.m. on weekends unless an exemption is granted by aldermen. In most cases, exemptions are requested for events held at the Warren County Fairgrounds.In other news• The village is now accepting applications to hire a replacement for Administrator Chris McCormick. She plans to retire June 1 after spending around six years at Innsbrook. McCormick previously was city clerk in Warrenton.The position will remain part time, requiring between 24 and 32 hours a week. McCormick currently works three days a week.• The village still has closeout documents that need to be completed related to the Highway F shoulder widening project, which 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 performed last year.• Officials are considering a resident’s request to have a “Street Not Thru” sign placed on Highway F Drive. The sign may be funded through the neighborhood improvement program since the request is for a private road, according to McCormick.• Innsbrook is in the process of updating its zoning and boundary maps following the recent annexation and rezoning of 31 acres to be used for the resort’s recreation complex.• The board of trustees will continue to hold its monthly meetings at 7 p.m. through May. The board meets the second Tuesday of every month. After the May meeting, the start time for the meetings will return to 9 a.m.Innsbrook
