CITIZENS WANT TO REDUCE NIGHTIME LIMIT
A proposal by a group of downtown and marina-area residents to reduce the night time (after 10PM) noise level limit from 85 to 65 decibels caused a confrontation at a recent council work session with the owner of a local restaurant/pub.
The owner of the Fly Creek Cafe said she thought the government should not be involved in the matter at all--and walked out while a complaining neighbor was speaking.
The current 85db limit is based on Mobile's ordinance; but some citizens prefer the 65db level (Orange Beach, Daphne).
An item to amend the city's noise ordinance is on the agenda for Monday night's council meeting.
