The City of Corcoran City Council convened on May 22, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including noise mitigation strategies and a rezoning proposal for the Chastick Family Farm.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the operational hours of a Hindu temple in Maple Grove, which was referenced to highlight community concerns about noise levels during early morning worship. Council members expressed the need for noise mitigation strategies, particularly regarding a proposed 5 AM start time for activities that could disturb nearby residents. One council member emphasized the importance of ensuring that noise standards are uniformly applied, while another suggested that compliance checks be implemented to address any potential disturbances.

Following this discussion, the council voted on an amendment to the noise mitigation strategy, which passed with a 4-1 vote. The amendment included conditions that would require the temple to adhere to noise regulations before commencing operations.

After a brief recess, the council resumed to discuss the Chastick Family Farm rezoning and preliminary plat. The council agreed to follow a similar format as the previous discussion, allowing for comments and presentations before deliberation. Steve Euler, a resident, was recognized to provide input on the preliminary meeting.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to balancing community concerns with the needs of local religious institutions, as well as their ongoing efforts to manage residential noise levels effectively. Further discussions and decisions regarding the Chastick Family Farm proposal are anticipated in future meetings.
