Tell your chicken to be careful crossing 30-A......
.... because of the ever increasing traffic congestion or his egg may get scrambled. Also, haven't seen any airports along 30-A either. What I have seen reading through this Forum's posts is the oh so greatly overused and myopic argument that if you do not like a situation then just move or the "i was here first" mantra typically used by grade schoolers. But to your point of view I would agree that one should be very cautious about moving in next to a historically loud venue. I can't see those owners trying to work out anything and typically you get "I will run my business the way I want to. I'm not doing anything wrong." That is a no win situation. But ever increasingly along 30-A especially with the ever increasing Village Mixed Use sites, those loud and obnoxious venues were NOT there first. Those VMU sites are typically 75% Residential and 15% commercial. That is when the minority offending venues are violating the rights of the majority. That is also why Noise Ordinance 2014-16 was passed by the BCC. You are going to see much more enforcement of this Ordinance as the summer season gets going. Tell your chicken to be careful.
This hearkens back to the noise ordinance from a few years back.
Yes...there was a decibel threshold established
Yes...the WCSO and code enforcement were supposed to enforce it
No...nobody knew how to take accurate level readings resulting in erroneous issues both ways
No...it was not clearly enforced and in many cases over enforced without meter proof.
It was a mess that finally just went away.
I'm all about the chicken and the egg thing, though. It boils down to who was there first. It's just like people who buy homes next to busy airports and then beeatch about the noise. Sorry...the airport was there. You came later knowing it was there. Too bad so sad.
If the offending establishment was there first and operates legally within prescribed limits, then, it's not much of a case and comes down to trying to work it out with the business that has no legal obligation to change a thing if they don't want to. I think a lot of businesses want to be good stewards of 30A, but it may take congenial conversations to make that happen.
