Description

I still do not have any answers from City of St. Petersburg, SPPD, Saint Pete Community Service Office. So now it's back to the County so please make a stronger effort I'm pretty sure you can handle these questions I think. I Need:

1) Clarification of the wording of the codes with regards to permissible decibel levels and distances of noise projection? Saying it should not be heard at a distance of 1000ft is ridiculous when there are preexisting residential properties less than that distance away. Why have a distance at all then? Do decibel levels exist or not? Current codes on your websites have decibel levels? Officer Maybell said and I quote "there is a lot of gray area in the codes" please clarify that statement.

2) Whose subjective interpretation of Loud and Raucous Noise is most considered? The people making it, the people subjected to it, or an officer or official of some sort that is not in any way being subjected to it anywhere near the same capacity we are?

3) What if any action at all is being planned by the Code Enforcement authorities to mitigate the nuisance from Island Grille?

4) Who in their right mind would permit a bar to play outdoor loud music smack in the middle of a residential area?

5) Why does anybody of sound mind and judgement feel that a bar needs to play music to people 50ft. away that can be heard clearly inside residential properties 700ft away and more not to mention the ambient outdoor noise pollution?

6) Is this a county vs. city issue? Is that where the confusion is with the regulatory agencies? If so provide specifics so I can address it accordingly.

I'm not sure how many e-mails and phone calls I am going to have to make to get these answers other than a hell of a lot. It is clearly obvious at this point that nobody is really sure what to do and that is why it keeps getting passed around without a response. Are you really trying to tell me that there is nobody available that can answer the above questions with clarity?  Thanks and I hope your weekends and evenings are not rudely interrupted by Loud and Raucous Noise and drunken hoodlums like ours are.
