I was awakened at 5:45 AM today to the sound of the backing up, pumping and loud engine noise of Ace's large truck pumping the construction potty for the 7 month long construction project next door. I confronted the driver. He said he knew nothing about this ordinance. I am wondering if perhaps he wasn't supposed to back up into the driveway--the backing up bleats are what woke me up. We are at the start of the 4th week. Township ordinances restrict 141-2-J "construction activity between the hours of 8:00 PM and 7:00 AM, except in the case of emergency" and 142-C and "The creation of excessive or unreasonable noise with the loading or unloading of any vehicle, the opening or destruction of bales, boxes, creates and containers or the delivery of local or other materials, merchandise or commercial products at a time of the day or night which excessively or unreasonable disturbs the peace and quiet of the immediate neighborhood". aaaarrrggghhhhh! It happens that I am recovering from surgery, but I would be just as annoyed (and maybe more so) if I weren't. Not nice Ace Portables! If you don't stop doing this for the neighbors, stop doing it for yourself. The fines are hefty--up to $1000 per event plus court costs. read more
