Committee discusses vibration complaints and monitor placement near Drexel easement
Summary
Committee members and commenters discussed resident complaints about vibrations and glass, questioned where the vibration monitor is located and whether it sits on city-owned property, and agreed to confirm ownership and coordinate any relocation.
Members of the City of Franklin Quarry Monitoring Committee on July 29 discussed recent complaints about vibrations at homes near the quarry and whether the committee’s monitoring instrument should be moved. A commenter said there have been "a lot of complaints coming online, you know, from the South for whatever reason, the way vibrations move or how they feel the glass," and added that no complaints were recorded from a different section.
Committee discussion turned to whether the monitor sits on private property or city property. A staff member said, "I believe it's owned by the city, but I I will confirm that," and the committee agreed to coordinate next steps if the monitor is on city property. One speaker noted the monitor sits on an easement on Drexel and urged coordination to address access: "It's right on that easement on, Drexel. It's taking a while. I've taken circumventions around there from somebody for a long time."
There was also discussion about moving the monitor’s location: "Moving it more to the east," one commenter said during the meeting. Committee members did not record a formal vote on relocation; instead, staff said they would confirm property ownership and coordinate with affected neighbors about any change. The committee approved its meeting minutes and set a future meeting date, but did not adopt a formal relocation plan at the July 29 session.
