Group wants to stop student party noise
By Jim Petterson Kansan staff writer
Loud parties. Loud music. Screaming college students.
Some Lawrence residents think those things are just part of living in a college town.
Others say something should be done to control the noise levels in many of the city's neighborhoods.
The Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods introduced to the Lawrence City Commission this summer a party and gathering noise control ordinance.
The ordinance was designed to define unlawful noise and give police specific guidelines when dealing with noise levels deemed unlawful.
B. Jake White, student body president, said he and other members of Student Senate planned to meet with city leaders on Oct. 17 to discuss issues, such as the noise ordinance, that had a direct effect on students.
"I think the noise ordinance is 100 percent ridiculous." he said.
Steve Lopes, chairman of the association, said the ordinance was drafted to deal with party
"In the past, police dealing with loud parties have, had nothing to enforce," he said.
noise.
The association was formed in January 1987 as an umbrella coalition made up of representatives from 12 neighborhood groups.
The proposed ordinance defines unacceptable noise, in part, as "the reproduction of or magnifying sound in such a manner as to disturb the environment and comfort of the neighboring inhabitants."
To violate the proposed ordinance, noise would have to be plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet from the source.
Upper sections of the proposed ordinance would require police to make an arrest on the first visit in response to a noise complaint, hold owners or managers of a property liable for the noise disturbances created by tenants and set penalties for violating the ordinance three times within a one-month period. The proposal calls for fines up to $1,500 and 30-days imprisonment.
Although the proposed ordinance was drafted and presented by the association, not all the neighborhood groups affiliated with the association supported the proposal.
Jennifer Brown. Oread Neighborhood Association coordinator, said the ONA didn't support the proposed ordinance because noise wasn't a major problem.
"Noise is something that is there," she said. "We've just learned to live with it."
The Oread neighborhood is located just east of the KU campus.
Old West Lawrence is the area between Sixth and Ninth streets and Michigan and Kentucky streets.
Buford Watson, Lawrence city manager, reviewed the proposal with police chief, Ron Olin; and city prosecutor, Tom Porter.
"Noise is not a consistent problem, but an occasional problem," Watson said.
After the association's proposal was presented to the City Commission, a recommendation was made for city staff to review the finance and report back to the commissioners.
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said he didn't know if there was a need for a noise ordinance.
"The majority of loud noise is associated with students," he said. "But there are other complaints not involving students."
