Noise Ordinances

[WilliamF]

You didn't say what city, but Loveland is the first web search result, so I'll go with that.

7.32.070 Temporary permits
Temporary permits to exceed sound limitations of this chapter may be issued by the city manager. All temporary permits shall contain the following provisions: the duration of the permit, the sound source temporarily permitted, the hours of the day and days of the week such permit is effective, and any other limitations that may be imposed by the city manager. (Ord. 1988 § 1 (part), 1981)

So, does the temporary permit address the required elements?

Let us know how it goes once it's all said and done. I hope you get your money's worth.

I appreciate your reasoned and non snarky response. Yes Loveland Colorado is correct. They have never once provided the provisions of the temporary permits for the last several years.

I may not win or get this resolved but these are expensive houses on the course, it's a nuisance, devalues the properties and this needs to change.

Except that I wasn't talking about OG Kush. I was talking about something entirely different. The other responders here know what I meant. You don't have to.

And this is a splendid example of a pious, arrogant condescending attorney.

You are entitled to your opinion. As am I.

Gee thanks! I really don't how I would've made it through the rest of the day without your acknowledgment that I'm entitled to my opinion.

And this is a splendid example of a pious, arrogant condescending attorney.

We're not in the habit if patting people on the heads saying, "There, there, you're right and everything will go your way."

What we do, however, is lock threads when confronted with shoot-the-messenger types.

Thread locked.
