Milwaukee Co. Board of Supervisors are reportedly considering a lawsuit against the Rock Sports Complex in Franklin for noise ordinance violations. If a lawsuit is filed, the catalyst will be a county-funded sound study, which concluded that some activities violated Franklin’s noise ordinances. Musical acts appear to be the primary offender. Supervisor Patti Logsdon told the media that she has been receiving complaints from her constituents since she began as a county supervisor in 2018. She is reportedly drafting a resolution to sue the owners, Roc Ventures, for violating the county’s 2017 developer agreement. Her ammunition will be a $200,000 sound study, which was funded by the county, which allegedly found excessive noise coming out of the facility. A study found that The Rock Sports Complex in Franklin is sometimes too loud for nearby residential communities. The aforementioned study reads as follows: “No person shall operate, permit the operation or allow his or her property to be used for such operation of anything which makes or causes a sound at a level between 70 dBA and 79 dBA as measured at the real property boundary of the noise source or beyond 50 feet from the noise source when operated in a public space without a permit.”
