Committee raises enforcement concerns for noise, live bands at Ancram pavilion
Summary
Members favored daytime-only use to reduce late-night noise and suggested permit language to limit bands and amplified sound; the town noise ordinance exists but speakers flagged enforcement challenges.
Committee members at the Ancram workshop expressed concern about loud music and the possibility of live bands at pavilion events. While the town has a noise ordinance, participants said enforcement can be difficult; several urged that permit language be used to limit band size or amplified sound for permitted events.
One resident observed that not all live music is loud but warned that a visiting band could be disruptive. Members noted that dusk-based hours reduce the chance of late-night amplified events and suggested that special permits should include conditions addressing noise and amplified instruments.
