Questions and Concerns:
Q: Can you clarify what this request is for? I already thought there was an allowance to begin
golf course maintenance at 6:00 AM.
A: We do not have a variance and must abide by the current noise ordinance which states work
begins at 7:00 AM and concludes at 9:00 PM
C: From where I live, we can hear the motorized equipment all the time, and its rough. We do
not understand the need to change the timing from 7:00 AM to 6:00 AM because 7:00 AM is
already early. We are against this variance.
C: Sympathize with other homeowners pertaining to increased noise on the golf course from
maintenance, but that is expected when you purchase property on a golf course. Everybody
hates noise, I do too, but there is a significant difference between gardening noise and
maintenance noise. Hopefully, there is a compromise in this situation — no music, talking or
yelling, no high-pitched equipment in the early hours?
C: We can hear the mowers early in the morning and light does come through into our backyard
area. Sound does travel, especially during the nighttime hours. We are against this variance.
Q: Has Timarron Country Club been in violation of this noise ordinance for the past 25 years?
A: We did begin golf course maintenance again and were visited by local authorities explaining
that the maintenance work begins at 7:00 AM via the noise ordinance.
C: Just because we live on a golf course does not mean we have to give up our rights as
homeowners to wanting a peaceful place to live — we are against this variance.
C: The mowers are very loud when they come by, and the mowing noises also causes the dogs
in the neighborhood to begin barking. We prefer to not have all the noise early in the morning
(i.e. 6:00 AM). We would appreciate any effort made to maintain peace and quiet in the morning
hours.
A: I do not want to say never, but I do not see a time where we would be mowing a fairway or
green prior to 7:00 AM by your residence.
C: We are against changing the ordinance for several reasons — first, we do hear golf course
maintenance noise and we do not even live on the golf course (we live close); and second, this
is a private enterprise, so this exception to the ordinance will allow other private enterprises to
do the same (i.e. where does it stop?)
Q: Regarding the sound decibel readings, were they average readings?
A: I wish the sound worked in the presentation, because the spikes on the sound decibel were
related to the golf course superintendent (Aaron) speaking.
Q: Can the golf course maintenance use electric motors prior to 7:00 AM?
A: We did looked into using electric motors, but they do not produce the quality of cut that
commercial lawn mowing equipment has.
C: The only issue we've had is hearing noise from the blowers around our fence. Do you use
blowers around fences?
A: We would not use the blower or rough unit prior to 7:00 AM
