Pickleball court noise

Spoke for her 86-year-old mother, a 50-year resident living near two pickleball courts on Caron Drive, saying four years of complaints about noise, lights, and traffic have gone unaddressed and the town has pushed mediation instead of enforcement.

Said her yard adjoins elevated pickleball courts only ten feet inside the required tennis setback, that sound testing showed readings above town noise limits which staff discounted, and urged the council to set a deadline and require a report back.

Explained her twelve-neighbor group refused mediation because they see the courts as an illegal land use, not a neighborhood dispute, and asked for enforcement of existing ordinances plus a certified acoustical study to anchor a new pickleball zoning ordinance.
