Franklin County Commission plans to address loud music and loud trucks

                Franklin County commissioners plan to consider a possible noise ordinance for the county.

The board has agreed to draft rules that could affect local bars and a very popular bog-in outside of Carrabelle.

Commissioners say the problem in both cases is the noise late at night.

Commissioners decided to take the step because of complaints from people who live near the bog-in on Highway 67 who said that loud trucks sometimes run until well after midnight.

Commissioner Cheryl sanders said she would like to see a rule that would limit the hours the trucks can run from 7 AM till 9 PM.

Commissioner Pinki Jackel said she would like to address local bars that have live music outdoors at night – specifically those that let the bands play till the early of the hours of the morning.

Commissioner Jackel said the proposal is just common sense and it’s a shame that the county should have to enact a rule.

County attorney Michael Shuler will draw up a pair of ordinances for commissioners to consider at their next meeting and the county plans to hold a public hearing on the bog-in ordinance during its second meeting in May so the new rule can be in place before Memorial Day which is the next scheduled date for the Bog In.
