LUM: No, no, you don’t have to amplify it to get up passed 62 decibels. I can turn my stereo up <br />and crank out 90 dB just out of my home stereo – louder, if I want. Okay? So the question then <br />is, you’re going to say, “Well, fine, we are going to turn it down,” but now you have people other <br />than the owner occupying the premises; who is going to enforce turning it down? How are you <br />going to determine what’s too loud? You are going to call up a policeman to come up there? <br />They are so busy now, “What? You want me to go up there because the guy’s playing his music <br />too loud. I’ve got to chase this killer.” Okay? So there is no enforcement. <br />HOUSEL: Thank you. Any questions, Commissioners? <br />BEAUDET: I’ve got a question. <br />HOUSEL: Commissioner Beaudet. <br />BEAUDET: The concern of the loud music historically has been through the use of the property <br />for entertainment or from the residence? <br />LUM: It’s whoever is residing there. <br />BEAUDET: Okay, so it hasn’t been through the activity of promoting entertainment for <br />commercial use. <br />LUM: Well, this is, if they were doing it, then it’s illegal, right, because the zoning, they are <br />asking to be zoned for commercial use. So it’s just music being played pretty loud. But I’ve <br />been fortunate; I say, “Wally, you’ve got to get your guys to turn their music down because it’s <br />driving me nuts. It’s ten o’clock at night. It’s eleven o’clock.” Sometimes I go to bed at 7:30, <br />but I get up at 4:00. Okay? And it’s, I don’t mind the chainsaws and the chippers – that’s what I <br />bought into; I didn’t buy into Hard Rock Café up there. <br />BEAUDET: My question is you are basing it off of -. <br />LUM: Actual experience. <br />BEAUDET: The activity of the residence on the property, not activity for entertainment. That’s <br />my question. <br />LUM: When you say “entertainment,” you are talking about -. <br />BEAUDET: Commercial entertainment. <br />LUM: Music, right? Sound. I should just say any kind of sound. <br />BEAUDET: No, no, no, no, no. My question is specific. Your experiences have been through <br />use of loud music from the residence or from commercial entertainment. <br />8 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
