October 13, 1999 <br /> City of Centerville <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> 1818 Main Street <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members, <br /> I would like to address mine and my husbands concerns to the council with regard to this past <br /> Saturday evening performance by the Rock n Hollywood's at Kelly's Korner. <br /> We would first like to state that we both feel that Mr. Bisek and Kelly's Korner is an asset to our <br /> community. In addition Mr. Bisek has always been ready and will to help the community of <br /> Centerville in a variety of ways each and every time that he has been asked. <br /> Our concern is in the volume of the sound coming from the band this past Saturday evening. We <br /> have lived in Centerville for over nine years and have had few if any problem with regard to noise <br /> levels within our neighborhood or the city. The exception was this past Saturday evening. <br /> When we went to bed Saturday with all our windows shut we could clearly hear songs playing. <br /> Clearly enough to sing along (If we would of chosen to). I called Central Dispatch and asked <br /> them if they could please see if they could find out where the sound was coming from. I told <br /> them where we lived and that I knew that the Rock n Hollywood's was playing at Kelly's Korner. <br /> but really didn't think we should be able to hear them being that we live a little less than a mile <br /> (7 tenths of a mile to be exact) from there. <br /> Needless to say it was the sound from Kelly's that we were hearing in our home even with all the <br /> windows shut. We have never heard the bands during the Fete De Lacs or any other outdoor <br /> performances when they have occurred. Maybe this was a fluke that the sound traveled as far as <br /> what it did, maybe the band needs to turn down it amplifiers, but whatever the cause may have <br /> been it was extremely annoying. We both felt that the city needs to know that the volume of the <br /> sound coming from Kelly's Saturday night was not acceptable and was much louder than we have <br /> ever heard within the city before. <br /> 1 wish I could give you a solution that would make everyone happy. The only thing that I can <br /> even suggest would be for event host to turn to volume down (if you hear it even three blocks <br /> away you know your event guest can surely hear it) or have open -air concerts during the day. If <br /> we can hear it a mile away in our home with our windows shut we believe it is simply to loud. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration of our concerns. <br /> Dan & Mary Capra <br /> 1810 Fox Run <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 <br />
