Thank you for your interest in our community;

Vice President of Glasgow Pines Maintenance Association.

Would the BOARD take into consideration the residents who live right by the clubhouse when they are renting it out on Sundays ??  It really is not fair to have my kids unable to sleep because the music is too loud.  We can actully feel the vibration from it.  I know I am not the only one who has a problem with this.  We can deal with the weekends, but returning to work/school is another issue.

Thanks

What is the rule for noise in this community, and is there a special time for peace and quiet?

Do you mean is there a curfew?  No...., but there is a County noise ordinance

a few paragraphs from the County Code:

i.   It shall be unlawful for any person within any residential district to repair, rebuild, test, race or gun any motor vehicle between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. of the following day in such a manner that would create a noise disturbance.

b.   Radios, televisions sets, phonographs and similar devices.    i.   Operating or permitting the use or operation of any radio receiving set, musical instrument, television, phonograph, drum, speaker or loudspeaker or other device for the production or reproduction of sound in such a manner as to cause a noise disturbance. ii.   Operating any such device, as listed in subsection (B)(2)b.i of this Section between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and the following 8:00 a.m. in such a manner as to be: (a)   Plainly audible through partitions common to two (2) parties within a building; or (b)   Across real property boundaries as to create a noise disturbance.
