Huntersville Town Commissioners approve noise ordinance and mobility plan updates

The Town Board of Huntersville convened on April 22, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including updates to the noise ordinance, management service contracts, and the adoption of a new mobility plan.

The meeting began with a discussion on the proposed amendments to the Town's noise ordinance. The board clarified that the use of engine brakes, compression brakes, or mechanical exhaust devices designed to aid in braking would now be classified as prohibited acts, with exceptions made only for situations involving imminent danger. Enforcement options for these regulations include issuing citations or misdemeanor charges. The board unanimously approved the amendment to the noise ordinance.

Next, the board reviewed a management services contract with Live Unlimited LLC for the Huntersville Family Fitness and Aquatic Center. The updated contract outlines responsibilities such as programming, staffing, marketing, and maintenance management. The contract stipulates that any increase in management fees will be contingent upon successful annual performance evaluations. The board voted unanimously to approve the contract.

The final significant item on the agenda was the consideration of the mobility plan. The plan aims to create a comprehensive transportation network that integrates various modes of transport, including pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic. The board received a presentation detailing the plan's development, which included public engagement efforts and feedback from the planning board. The mobility plan was designed to address existing transportation gaps and improve connectivity throughout the town. After a brief discussion, the board unanimously approved the mobility plan, with members expressing appreciation for the effort put into its development.

In summary, the Town Board's meeting resulted in the successful amendment of the noise ordinance, approval of the management services contract for the fitness center, and the adoption of a new mobility plan, all aimed at enhancing community safety and connectivity.
