Title:
Introduce Ordinance Amending the City Code Relating to Noise Nuisance/Sound Levels
Background:
In review and enforcement of the City Code relating to noise creating a nuisance, the police department staff has noted an error in the City Code text which defines the standards for sound levels. The intention is that our City Code adopt the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) noise standards as identified in Minn. Administrative Rule 7030.0040. The following is the corrected provision of City Code which does adopt the correct MPCA Noise Standards.
TABLE 1
Land Use 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. 10:00 p.m. – 7:00 A.M.
L50 L10 L50 L10
Residential 60 65 50 55
Commercial 65 70 65 70
Industrial 75 80 75 80
This case was brought to Council on April 10, 2012. There was some confusion at that meeting in regard to sound levels and enforcement. Chief Way will be present to answer questions that council might have about this error in City Code.
