| Florida Ball Field Too Noisy for
Neighbors PUBLICATION: The Tampa Tribune DATE: February 3, 2000 SECTION: Northwest, Pg. 3 BYLINE: Kathy Steele DATELINE: Odessa, Florida County planners approved a private citizen's request to play ball on the field he bought. Now the owner finds himself beset with noise and land use violations, putting him ad odds with local officials because night activities disrupt the peace and quiet of his neighbors, and the field is not zoned for night games. Chuck Fest purchased two ball fields from a company owned by the investment firm where he works. One of them, Camp Keystone, is the subject of the controversy. According to the article, local officials told him that Camp Keystone was in violation because it hadn't been approved for night activity. If he wants to continue using it at night, the property must be rezoned from agricultural to planned development. Fest claims that his property rights have been violated and he's ready to go to court to straighten it out. Neighbors complain about the noise from night practices, saying it interferes with life at home and frightens the horses on their property. |
