In a recent government meeting, the Board of Supervisors addressed ongoing concerns regarding noise complaints from Fannon Lanes bowling alley, located at 1145 Old Fannon Road. The discussion was prompted by complaints from residents of the nearby Regatta Subdivision, particularly regarding loud music emanating from the establishment.

John Christopher, owner of Fannon Lanes, acknowledged past issues with noise, particularly a significant incident in 2022 when loud music from a DJ prompted complaints. He stated that he had since implemented sound dampening measures and had made efforts to ensure compliance with previous agreements that prohibited outdoor music. Christopher emphasized that the bowling alley operates from noon to 6 PM, asserting that any noise complaints occurring after hours could not be attributed to his business.

Martin Parkinson, president of the Regatta Subdivision Homeowners Association, countered Christopher's claims, stating that residents have continued to experience disturbances from loud music, particularly during evening hours. He noted that the complaints were not frivolous and that the noise was disruptive to the community.

The Board clarified that the meeting was intended for information gathering rather than immediate action. They plan to formulate a strategy to address the ongoing nuisance concerns. The discussion highlighted the tension between business operations and residential peace, with both parties expressing their perspectives on the noise issues. The board will continue to monitor the situation as they seek a resolution that satisfies both the business owner and the affected residents.
