What do you think of the new noise ordinance?

The Richmond City Council passed a new noise ordinance last night in a 5 to 4 vote but do you think it’s too restrictive?

“You could get a ticket or even jail time for being too loud, day or night, if someone 50 feet away can hear the noise that includes playing a musical instrument.”

So, If you have your windows open in the spring and you happen to have your TV on and someone hears it across the street, you could get jail time?

“This is a class two misdemeanor that carries a sentence of up to six months in jail.”

Not only is it restrictive, it seems excessive. What do you think?

July 1 = New laws go into effect

New state laws go into effect today! So make sure you are aware of the biggest ones that can effect your wallet and your social life.

  • Smoking is prohibited in most restaurants and bars in Virginia. The law goes into effect today but won’t be implemented until December 1, to allow businesses to prepare for it. So enjoy that cigarette with your beer now because come December it will be a thing of the past.
  • $1.4 billion in stimulus money went to balance the budget because of the massive shortage.
  • Put those cell phones and PDAs away. Texting and emailing while driving is banned. It can carry up to a $50 dollar fine. The good news is you can only be ticketed for it if you’re being pulled over for something else. “No officer it wasn’t the texting that made me swerve while speeding, you can check my last outgoing message time (which I just deleted as you were walking to my car.)”

The new Stormwater fee courtesy of the City of Richmond

Has everyone gotten their “This is not a bill” bill from the City of Richmond for the new stormwater fee? Enclosed is a handy brochure, entitled “Stormwater: What you need to know.” The brochure covers things like why Richmond needs this fee, what is stormwater runoff, and more importantly who pays for this?

In accordance with Richmond City Ordinance 2009-60, property owners of developed property within the city shall pay a stormwater utility fee based upon the stormwater class and the amount of impervious surface area. An impervious surface is one that prevents precipitation from rain or snow from soaking into the ground. Impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to rooftops, streets, parking areas, and any concrete, asphalt or compacted gravel surface.

To learn more about this go to The City of Richmond’s Stormwater Utility site. There you can find an FAQ section, information on how to build a rain barrel and the Stormwater Fee Appeals form.
