12) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Chris Esser, Sanford resident and business owner (Sanford Brewing Co.), asked the
Commission to consider amending the current noise ordinance. He said that it is hurting business
along Sanford Avenue because the way it is written prevents the doors from being open which is
a deterrent; businesses are seeing a reduction in foot traffic. He has spoken to other area businesses
which are also seeing a decline in revenue. Deputy Chief Raimondo said that this is a collaborative
effort between the Sanford Police Department, City Manager, and Community Improvement. He
said that they are trying to resolve the issue. They are in the process of collecting data to help
determine the industry standard and once this is complete, Staff will make recommendations to
the Commission.
