Council approves noise variances for American Slovenian Club and community day; residents praise events, report early construction starts
Summary
Council granted noise variances for three American Slovenian Club dates (adjusted to 4 p.m.–12 a.m.) and for Community Day on Sept. 28 (8 a.m.–7 p.m.). Residents thanked safety staff for recent events and reported a school-construction crew starting work earlier than the permitted time.
Fairport Harbor Village Council approved noise variances for upcoming community events and heard public comments praising recent events and reporting early-morning construction activity at a school project.
The council approved noise-variance requests submitted by the American Slovenian Club for Aug. 16, Aug. 23 and Sept. 27. Council set the approved hours to 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. to cover setup and teardown. Council also approved a noise variance for the village’s Community Day on Sept. 28 and set hours at 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Resident Karen Midlak, 635 Eagle Street, told council she had received confirmation that Community Day had been moved to Sept. 28 and thanked safety personnel for their work at other recent events, saying she “saw officers were right on top of things.”
Another resident, identified in the transcript as WArgo (42624), raised a concern about a school construction crew starting earlier than the approved 7 a.m. work time: “I was just wondering, has the construction company at the school been given an earlier time for the variance noise variance? I know they had 07:00, but now we're about at 06:20 in the morning.” Council responded that staff would follow up and reach out to the contractor.
Motions to approve the variances were moved and seconded and passed with aye votes from councilmembers present. Staff did not provide written variance conditions beyond the hours approved during the meeting.
