Ponte on Noise

   Debbie Ponte responded to our request of whether she would support a noise ordinance.  She stated,  "As I tour through the District and meet folks I find that noise from Lake Tulloch  and Copper Cove, and also barking dogs seem to be a nuisance and create havoc for some residents of the community. I also hear complaints in other areas of the county of roosters/chickens, dirt bikes, etc., so I believe this is a county-wide concern as well.

    I would consider a noise ordinance that has a balance with property rights, preserving the ag/rural nature of our county, and respecting the rights of others. A difficult challenge but it can be done.

    I would also support taking a look into this area for inclusion into the Community Plans and the General Plan as we have the opportunity to prepare for the future."
