BACKGROUND: The Freedom in Christ Family Church at 1643 Bleams Road, is holding an outdoor Community Outreach event on Saturday September 23, 2005, between the hours of 6:30 PM and 11 :00 PM. There will be some amplified music played outside. As such, they are requesting an exemption to Chapter 450 (Noise), for the event. A copy of their request is attached. REPORT: Most of the property uses adjacent to the Church property are non-residential. However, there is a residential sub-division situated on the north side of Bleams Road. The Church has indicated that they will ensure that any music that is being played outside will be directed towards the rear of the Church property and away from the residential sub-division. In doing so, it is thought that the impact on the homes will be minimal. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None identified at this time. COMMUNICATIONS: No Corporate Communications required. CONCLUSION: Based on the circumstances surrounding this event, the By-law Enforcement Division does not object to this request for an exemption. Shayne Turner Director of By-law Enforcement End
