Noise
restricted in Liberty Township
To promote
peace and tranquility, Liberty Township Trustees have adopted noise
regulations [Resolution 11-C-06] that prohibits excessive noise in
residential areas and certain premises where liquor is sold.
Among other things the noise resolution applies to:
-
Private
construction activities after 9 p.m. and before 6:30 a.m. DST (7 a.m.
EST), and before 10 a.m. on Sundays.
-
Horns,
music, amplified sound, power equipment other than mowers, trimmers,
chain saws, or tillers, and unreasonably long periods of repeated
discharging of firearms.
-
Excessive
noise from motor vehicles.
Prohibited
noises are those audible at a distance of 100 feet or more from the
property from which the noise emanates.
The
resolution provides for several exceptions, including construction,
repairs and maintenance of homes and outbuildings, accessory buildings, or
yards.
The
Fairfield County Sheriff is responsible for enforcement.
The
resolution provides that the township trustees shall seek injunctive
relief against people who violate the resolution and provides that a
person aggrieved by another person’s violation of the regulation may
seek civil action.
The resolution was adopted pursuant to
Ohio Rev. Code § 505.172.
Violations are a misdemeanor of the second degree.
