RES PH 25-62 5/14/2025 4:58 PMG. Engelen Against I'm against. Would any city employee want to work in a work environment with these high amounts of decibels. No!! It's against OSHA and labor law to work under these conditions and so it should be against the law to live and be exposed under these conditions. DSI does lip service to the community--"wait and stall" until the event is over. Cl***ic--all for the almighty dollar.
RES PH 25-62 5/14/2025 3:07 PMD Engelen Against The requested noise variance for the sake of “economic activity” and “customer experience” comes at the expense of St Paul taxpayers’ and citizens’ rights to a healthy environment and enjoyment of their property. By imposing excessive noise on thousands in the surrounding neighborhoods, festival organizers externalize costs and extract wealth. The DSI proposed noise limits already exceed by more than tenfold levels that damage hearing; increasing noise limits further as requested by the organizers is unconscionable. I beseech the City Council to keep St Paul livable for the citizens and taxpayers they represent and to reject any limits higher than those proposed by the DSI. Thank you. +1
RES PH 25-62 5/10/2025 8:38 PMKC Cox Against After the Breakaway concert last year and the disappointing way the city handled the noise complaints from the various neighborhoods, I am opposed to this noise variance request for this year, unless the City of St Paul and DSI can agree to oversight of someone other than the applicant. I believe the variance request is too high. 95 dbl at 100 feet until 9:00 pm, at 100 dbl at 100 feet later 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm. There is no mention of oversight. DSI needs to be on sight as well as police with dbl measuring devices. If complaints are made, then there has to be an authority that will get them to turn it down. Last year, complaints were made and there was no authority who would step in. So, unless the City and/or DSI is willing to be an on sight authority, I am opposed to this event. The lack of neighborhood notification was terrible. Union Park District CLUED committee had opposed this variance, but here it is on council agenda. +3
