Re: Noise complaints from adjoining properties
Dear Mr. Kaufman:
One of the many functions of Code Enforcement is to provide for the enforcement of the Town of Vail Municipal Codes.
It has come to our attention that the above-described property may be in violation of the Town of Vail Municipal Codes as follows:
Reported Violation(s): Noise generated at this location is often above the allowed limit. The view from this location is directly into adjoining dwelling units. Section 12-14-13 (RESTAURANTS,
BARS OR SIMILAR USES) of the Town Code states, in part, that:
In districts where restaurants, bars, or similar uses are allowed, they shall be subject to the following requirements:
A. Noise generated by the use may not at any time exceed fifty (50) decibels outside the enclosing walls or ceilings of the use.
B. Dwelling units in the same structure or in structures adjoining restaurants, bars, or similar uses shall have the right to privacy and the restaurant, bar, or similar use shall be
designed in such a way that view from the use is not directly into adjoining dwelling unit or units. Windows may be treated with appropriate covering. (Ord. 19(1976) § 15: Ord. 8(1973)
§ 17.401)
Please contact me within 15 calendar days from receipt of this letter to schedule a meeting to discuss these issues. Failure to do so will result in a summons being issued.
Your prompt attention regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help assure that Vail continues to be the desirable and pleasant resort community for which we all strive.
Please feel free to call me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have. My office phone number is 970-477-3417.
Very Truly Yours,
David Rhoades, Code Enforcement Officer
