Subject: Fort Ward Park-Marlbor Estates Noise Discussions--Update
Dear Neighbors,
Since we expressed our concerns on Sunday and Monday to the City Parks & Recreation Department and the Police Department about the weekend noise levels at Fort Ward Park I have heard the following information from Capt. Hassan Aden and Walter Powell.
First, Capt. Aden spoke with the City Attorney and the noise permits that the City issues to park groups for picnic pavillions don't matter due to the City's noise ordinance. The noise permits are completely irrelevant and the Police Department can enforce the City's noise regulations. Hassan, and the City Attorney, believe that park users do have to comply with the City's noise ordinance and the Police Department will help to see that they do. Capt. Aden is continuing discussions with the City Environmental Department about possibly getting the police officers training about the noise ordinance and noise meters to measure noise levels.
Captain Aden said that once the noise ordinance discussions are completed he expects to send a memo to all of the officers in his sector so that they are aware of the rules for the park. Hassan said that he will get back to us with additional information.
Second, Walter Powell is having discussions with City officials about the use of the picnic areas and what, if any, amplified music is appropriate in those areas. Walter believes that amplified music should not be permitted in the picnic areas and should only be permitted in the park amphitheater. Walter said that there is a meeting next week within the City to discuss noise and how to address our concerns.
Both Hassan and Walter are working hard to address homeowners concerns. Your interest, calls and efforts are helping to sustain the quality of our homes, neighborhood and Fort Ward Park.
Should you have any questions please contact me.
