MAIL <br />Mr. Joel R. Hanson <br />City Administrator <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Re: Ordinance Prohibiting Loud Motor <br />Vehicle Radios and Sound Systems <br />Our File No. 7751 <br />Dear Joel: <br />Telephone <br />(612)2224541 <br />Facsimile <br />(612) 223-6289 <br />Please find enclosed with this letter, a proposed ordinance <br />defining the use of radios or sound systems in a loud manner as a <br />public nuisance under Little Canada Code Section 601.050. It is <br />my understanding that consideration of this ordinance will be on <br />the City Council's agenda for its regularly scheduled meeting on <br />October 26, 1994. <br />As we discussed, X have included language in the proposed <br />ordinance stating that it will be prima facie evidence of a <br />violation of this ordinance if the loud radio or sound device can <br />be heard from a distance of 25 feet or more from the vehicle. We <br />believe that providing an objective standard in the ordinance <br />will make the ordinance more effective and assist our office in <br />the event of prosecution under the ordinance. <br />If you have any questions or any suggested revisions or <br />deletions, please advise. <br />PTO :gc <br />Enclosure <br />Very truly yours, <br />SWEENEY, BORER & OSTROW <br />pcus <br />Paul T. Ostrow <br />Page PG <br />
