It was evening and we were sitting in <br /> the living room with our windows open. Our living room is on the Sheldon Community side of the <br /> house. It became very difficult to hear our friend. Loud music was coming from the direction of the out <br /> door tennis courts located about 200 feet from our house. Two teen age boys were playing tennis. They <br /> had turned their boom box volume up on high. <br /> I wanted to get their attention to get them to turn the volume down. I obtained a 16 pound postmall from <br /> my garage and placed it over my shoulder Alle OOP fashion. I walked into the tennis court and headed <br /> directly toward the boom box. The two teen ago boys (about age 17) stopped playing and looked first at <br /> me and then at the boom box. One of the boys run to the boom box and shut it of He said to me, 'you <br /> didn't ask me to turn it down." I replied, "you didn't ask me if you could turn it up." I told them, " you <br /> have done what I wanted you to do." I then left the court. They did turn the boom box on again but at a <br /> noise level that was tolerable. 1 know this was a damatic act that was both humorous and effective. I <br /> would never do it again for fear for my life. <br /> Can you imagine what the noise volume will be when you get 1000 teen agers and parents at a football <br /> game? Whose attention can we get to request the noise be reduced. Do you think if we could make a <br /> request to have less noise it would do any good? We would soon be known as the old grouches that live <br /> next door to the new $3.5 million dollar athletic field. <br /> Things to consider: <br /> 1. Parking - Where will 1000 people park for first phase and 2000 people for the second phase ?. <br /> 2. Environmental changes: <br /> A. Wetlands designation in vicinity of the drainage ditch you intend to fill. <br /> B. Noise Mitigation <br /> C. Vision Mitigation <br /> D. Light Mitigation <br /> E. Traffic Mitigation <br /> F. Livability Mitigation <br /> G. Increased Traffic on Jeppesen Acres Rd. <br /> No street parking west of Providence <br /> No sidewalks west of 2250 Jeppesen Acres Road <br /> Little to no lighting west of Providence intersection <br /> The curve just west of Providence is a blind curve that has no lighting. <br /> Traffic on Jeppesen Acres Road west of Providence frequently travels at 65 MPH. <br /> There are two 25 MPH Speed Signs on Jeppescn Acres Road. They are located <br /> within 100 feet of the intersections of Coburg Road and Glilham Road. After you <br /> enter Jeppesen Acres Road and check for road hazards you are abreast or past the <br /> . signs. There should be signs indicating School Children present with posted speeds <br /> accordingly. <br /> 3. Traffic Calming: <br /> Two years ago residents on Jeppescn Acres Road petitioned Jim Torrey to install speed control <br /> devices and install lighting in the curve (at minimum). I understand David Duke informed John <br /> Fisher and Sister that nothing would be done untill the new Fire Station is in use; the new Fire <br /> Station was activated in October 1998. We have heard nothing about installing lighting or speed <br /> control devises. <br /> 4. Home devaluation: <br /> Our homes will be devalued due of the close proximity of the Athletic Fields. <br />
