Ms. Audrey Gelfand of 87 Dalmeny Road reiterated her concerns about carving out the golf courses and stated they needed to have the same start time as the rest of the community. Mr. William Wetzel of 2 Central Drive West stated the golf courses should not have a 6:00am start time. He suggested the Board delete the provision exempting the Club from the new ordinance. Mr. Jeff Allan of 22 Law Road stated he was a 40 year resident and a Pediatric Neurologist. He stated his primary concern was the health of children and noise pollution greatly impacted health and caused a loss of nerve cells in our ears. He suggested the noise levels be lowered, curb lawn activities and volunteered to do fact finding to see how other communities regulated noise. 1 Mr. Matt Marucci of 72 Poplar Road urged the Board to hold the hearing over to a more optimal time for residents. He stated noise was noise and golf courses should be held to the same standard. He asked the Board to leave the issue alone. Mayor Sullivan stated the Board did not take any action and was listening to comments to make a more informed decision. Mr. Stuart Ball of 333 North State Road stated the noise ordinance should be for all Village businesses and the carting company behind him started at 5:30am and went until late at night. Mr. Robert Benjamin of 106 Cherry Hill Court stated he was getting attacked from all sides with the golf course on one side and the Club on the other. He stated the golf course had parties that went late into the night and the police said they couldn’t do anything until 11:00pm. He stated the golf courses should not be catered to. Mr. Keith Austin of 55 Hawthorn Place stated his property abutted the south end of Pace University and there was a generator running 24 hours a day for weeks. He stated landscapers should not be allowed on Sundays and sometimes the amplification of music from different areas was a nuisance. He stated Special Use Permits were in place for a reason and had renewals to protect residents. He stated the Board should be careful about carving out properties in the ordinance. Mr. Bruce Yeager of 450 Central Drive stated machinery generated a lot of noise and should be inspected regularly and reviewed. He agreed that landscaping should not occur on Sundays and the grandfathering clause should be removed. Upon motion by Trustee Wilson, seconded by Deputy Mayor Pohar, the Board voted unanimously to adjourn the Public Hearing to March 21, 2018 at 8:00pm.
