Patchogue sets Feb. 9 public hearing on proposed noise-code changes amid resident concern
Summary
Trustees set a public hearing for Feb. 9 to consider amendments to village noise-code sections 281-7, 281-8 and 281-9; residents warned the comment window is short and said the draft could affect nightlife and nearby residents.
The board set a public hearing for Feb. 9 to take comments on proposed amendments to sections 281-7, 281-8 and 281-9 of the village code. The changes would clarify penalties for commercial noise permits and refer noise-variance decisions to the zoning board of appeals.
A resident in the meeting raised concerns about the short public-notice window and the potential impact on businesses and residents who live near nightlife venues, saying, "I'm concerned about what's in these provisions" and asking for clarity when the full proposed local law would appear online. The clerk said the full local law and legal notice will be posted on the village website and that people signed up for alerts should receive notice when it is published.
Trustees encouraged public review and attendance at the Feb. 9 hearing and said they would post the proposed law and legal notice to allow more informed public comment before the hearing.
