Whereas, the Town Board held a public hearing on May 9, 2022 regarding a noise permit application for a Seasonal Special Events received by Ithaca Beer Co., and discussed the request,
and
Whereas, as stated in the application speakers will be faced to prevent amplified noise bouncing off brewery and facing Route 13, now therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board grants a noise permit to Ithaca Beer Co. for the purpose of their Seasonal Special Events, entertaining Guests at their location of 122 Ithaca Beer Dr.,
mostly on Fridays, no more than one a month, October, with the following
Conditions:
That the mitigation measures detailed on the application and used successfully in past years are continued, and shall not go later than 9:00 p.m.
with the following
Findings:
1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the
requirements of Chapter 184, and Ithaca Beer’s Planned Development Zone specifically allows for music events, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required (Town Code §271-15.D(3),
and
2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to hold special larger events and are limited to once a month, no later than 9p.m., which hours are
within “daytime hours” as defined by Town Code § 184-4; and
3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited
amount of time on the specified dates, with the above-listed limitations in place to minimize the intrusion on the neighbors.
