is at Hobart Park where we do not want horses in the picnic <br />area or the swimming area. <br />Considerable discussion took place regarding Section 10 <br />on Page 9 relating to Noise - what criteria can be used to <br />determine what constitutes "noise," - whether this provision <br />would make it illegal for someone to play the tape deck in <br />their car, etc. <br />Commissioner Lyons suggested the use of a decibel <br />meter, which is quite inexpensive, noting that the City of <br />Vero Beach has an ordinance limiting noise as measured in <br />decibels. <br />Park Supervisor Cook commented that the proposed draft <br />was taken principally from the Brevard County Ordinance <br />which has been in effect the last two or three years. He <br />felt that requiring a permit to use an amplifying system <br />allows you, at least, to determine their intent, and in <br />regard to cars playing radios, he felt that nothing will <br />happen until someone makes a complaint. <br />Commissioner Lyons still believed we must have <br />something specific to measure noise, and Mr. MacAdams felt <br />Y- c - OR z <br />there should be a specific Noise Ordinance for the whole <br />county, not just parks. He noted that the Town of Indian <br />River Shores addressed the noise problem caused by <br />construction workers who had radios blaring away constantly, <br />and the problem of loud noise is confronting them now in the <br />Tracking`Station Park. <br />Attorney Brandenburg informed the Board that he had <br />drafted a Noise Ordinance for another county, which <br />ordinance has a provision specifically relating to beach and <br />parks activities. He pointed out that the proposed <br />ordinance has segregated rules and regulations, making <br />violation of a regulation a misdemeanor. Attorney <br />Brandenburg felt if the Board wants certain action to be a <br />criminal action, this has to be made more specific. <br />MAR 171982 84 na 49 z27 <br />
