Resident urges Coweta to limit concrete plant hours after repeated noise complaints
Summary
A Coweta resident presented a petition asking the City to limit the operating hours of a concrete plant on S 257th E Ave, citing backup beepers and truck noise; city staff said they will contact the plant owner to seek mitigation.
Russell Faith told the Coweta City Council on Jan. 5 that noise and truck activity from a concrete plant on S 257th E Avenue are creating a persistent disturbance for nearby residents. Faith presented a list of names and signatures from other concerned residents and asked the Council to adopt limits on when the plant can operate.
Faith described the recurring traffic and "beeping of trucks when backing up" as "a nuisance" and said he would like the Council to set operating-hour restrictions. An attorney representing the concrete plant was in attendance and listened while Faith spoke. Mayor Naomi Hogue and City Manager Julie Casteen said staff would reach out to the plant owner to explore options to alleviate nighttime and evening noise complaints.
Why this matters: noise and nuisance complaints implicate local land‑use enforcement, potential permit conditions, and neighbors' quality of life. The Council did not make a formal ruling; staff outreach to the plant owner is the immediate next step.
Next steps: staff will contact the concrete plant owner to discuss possible operational adjustments; the matter could return to the Council if mitigation measures are not satisfactory.
