Just 5 fewer degrees of bass: That is the plea
of neighbors of Bob's Boathouse regarding
proposed changes to the Sarasota County Air
and Sound Pollution Ordinance.
The suggested revisions will be consid-
ered during a March
19 public hearing in
Sarasota at the County
Administration Center,
located at 1660 Ringling
Blvd. The agenda item
is scheduled for the
morning session.
Jim McWhorter, president of the River
Forest Civic Association, and two Montclair
Drive residents appeared before the County
Commission during the public comments por-
tion of the March 4 board meeting to make
their case for lowering the maximum bass
level reading 5 more
degrees for homes
on the receiving end
of noise. "This is the
r o o t c a u s e o f o u r
ongoing nightmare,"
r e s i d e n t M i c h e l e
Chapman explained.

AIR AND SOUND POLLUTION ORDINANCE
A MATTER OF DEGREES
On the documents that you are
going to hand out, we need to make sure
people realize the numbers could be lower.
