RECOMMENDATION:
That an exemption to Chapter 450 (Noise) of the City of Kitchener Municipal Code
be granted to the Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church at 700 Fischer Hallman

hours of 11AM and 11 PM and August 28, 2016, between the hours of 11AM and
11:00 PM.
BACKGROUND:
The Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church at 700 Fischer Hallman Road typically holds
2 festivals each summer season involving activities that occur outdoors. As in past
years, they are requesting a noise exemption.
REPORT:
These festivals are annual events.The July event is known as the Serbian Food
Festival and the August event is the annual Bull Roast.
Staff report that no complaints were received during either of these events last year.
Staff have worked with representatives of the Church to address concerns that have
been raised in the past. As a result the representatives distributed a communications
piece in the adjacent residential neighbourhood, to advise of the 2 events and will do so
again this year. It is their desire to engage the neighbourhood to participate in the
festivals.Attached is a copy of the information they intend to distribute throughout the
neighbourhood this year.
