CONSIDERATION OF RESIDENTIAL DECIBEL LEVEL THRESHOLDS IN <br />THE COUNTY'S NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL ORDINANCE (LDR <br />CHAPTER 974) AS APPLIED TO OUTDOOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT <br />Chief of Environmental Planning and Code Enforcement Roland DeBlois, using a <br />PowerPoint presentation (on file) provided background information on a pending electrical pool <br />heater noise violation, at the residence of Charles and Lisa Fannin, that came before the Board of <br />County Commissioners on July 2, 2013. He provided an analysis on the sampling of central AC <br />outdoor units, how other jurisdictions address the noise regulation issues site-specific issues, and <br />possible alternatives.
