30 Privilege of the Floor
31 - Elizabeth Hujar, 14 Farm Pond Circle, read the following statement:
32 o I'm here as a follow-up to a correspondence with the Lansing Town Hall about what
33 transpired on August 14. 1 experienced the clubhouse across the street at 320 Peruville
34 Road playing extremely loud music,to the point that I could understand the words and
35 feel the bass vibrating in my house,from the early evening until 11:40 p.m.This
36 occurred despite several calls to the sheriff.The sheriff I spoke to said he prefers not to
37 shut down parties unless it's like 3 a.m., but said they'd investigate it. I suspect they did
38 not return to shut down the party, since the music was still playing hours after I called.

DRAFT
39 Following all this, I researched the property and discovered that it was recently
40 approved for a special use permit to have a turf soccer field built even closer to my
41 home than the clubhouse, with 18-foot lights overhead.As a Tompkins County
42 government employee, I believe in the importance of notifying citizens in advance of
43 anything that could affect quality of life. It's my understanding that homes within 600
44 feet are to be notified about special use permit applications. I did not receive a letter in
45 the mail about this. Although my home is 826 feet from the clubhouse, it is about 350
46 feet from the proposed turf location. It would have been helpful to be notified based on
47 the distance from house to project, rather than from house to clubhouse.
48
49 1 am very concerned about the potential for music blasting outdoors even closer to my
50 home, the likelihood that there will be more frequent noise late at night (due to the
51 lights keeping people after dark), and the turf chemicals seeping into my well water (this
52 is very important, as I already have needed surgeries to remove complex cysts, which
53 are prone to returning in response to environmental contaminants).
54
55 As a new parent juggling work and early bedtime schedules and everything in between,
56 these issues would be extremely disruptive if this turf were to be installed. I closed at 14
57 Farm Pond Circle on February 25, with the understanding that this was a quiet family
58 neighborhood in what was originally planned to be a reforestation community. As such,
59 it was a reasonable expectation that neighbors would not harm my property
60 environmentally or create excessive noise.
61
62 1 understand that the special use permit requires that vibration,glare, odor, heat, and
63 noise anticipated from the proposed use are mitigated. I have already experienced
64 excessive vibration and noise from this property, and a turf field with overhead lights
65 will likely involve increased glare, odor, and heat.This property is looking likely to
66 become a burden on the quality of life of local property owners, and I ask that the issues
67 1 have described be prevented and eliminated.Thank you.
68 Thank you again for the opportunity to speak with the Planning Board about this; 1
69 greatly appreciate it.
