Board details follow-up on Black Mountain noise petition; post–Labor Day meeting planned
Summary
Select Board members reported meeting with residents and venue representatives about noise at Black Mountain and scheduled a post–Labor Day meeting to set decibel levels, monitoring plans and expectations for compliance.
Frank DiFruscio told the Select Board he met with Stephen Weeder and Erik Mogensen to address a resident petition about noise at Black Mountain. The group agreed to reconvene after Labor Day to set decibel thresholds, monitoring approaches and compliance expectations.
DiFruscio said the conversation recognized that the town’s noise ordinance and liquor-license conditions are separate and that different measurement standards apply to different venues. Board members did not finalize numeric decibel limits during the July 14 meeting but flagged the item for further study and community engagement in early autumn.
The board’s planned follow-up is intended to clarify measurement standards and enforcement responsibilities across venues to reduce uncertainty for residents and permit holders.
