Neighbors complain of late‑night events at Sparrow Estate; county staff to investigate permit compliance
Summary
A Town Fork area resident told the Board of Supervisors that loud events at a private venue called Sparrow Estate have repeatedly violated permit conditions, kept neighbors awake and caused parking and safety problems; staff said it will collect evidence and follow up with enforcement and the applicant.
A resident of the Town Fork area told the Campbell County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 7 she and neighbors are experiencing repeated noise, lights and parking problems from events held at a nearby event venue known as Sparrow Estate and asked the county to consider revoking the site’s permit.
"This is loud stuff. My house vibrates from it," Cheryl Moore said during public comment. Moore described an event on Sept. 20 she said lasted eight‑and‑a‑half hours with heavy music, flashing lights, on‑site drinking and cars parking on adjacent property. She told the board she measured sound levels at her house and recorded readings higher than what she believes the permit allowed.
Board members asked Moore to provide photographs, video and call logs; staff asked that she give the materials to County Administrator Frank Rogers for direct follow‑up. Rogers told the board staff would review the permit language and any complaints and that he and local supervisors would coordinate an inspection. Rogers also said, where possible, staff would review whether events had been properly posted and permitted and whether any capacity or operating‑hour terms had been violated.
Moore said she had witnesses and timelines to support her account and urged the board to act so neighbors would not have to endure further disruption. Supervisors said they would take the complaint under advisement and follow county enforcement protocols.
Provenance: public comment and staff exchange in the Oct. 7 meeting transcript show the complainant’s account and the request that she turn evidence over to staff for follow‑up.
