RICHMOND â The long-running effort to limit sound from musical performances outdoors and in a barn at Balderdash Cellars winery and farm appears to be nearing a written agreement between the town and owners Christian and Donna Hanson.
The proposed new conditions, which come as the couple seeks a special permit that would combine the existing farm function bylaw with events at a renovated barn, are intended to allay noise concerns raised by some nearby residents.
Under the terms of the compromise, the town would allow a wider window of time for events than the town initially sought, but the owners would agree to a number of steps designed to limit the impact of noise on neighbors.
STOCKBRIDGE â In a move intended to protect residential areas from late-night music and noise, the Select Board has reinstated its policy of limiting annual entertainment licenses to an 11 p.m. curfew.
But, for weddings, late-running theater productions or special events, board Chairman Ernest âChuckieâ Cardillo encouraged destinations like Tanglewood, the Berkshire Theatre Festival and the Wheatleigh resort to apply for special licenses allowing extended hours, when needed. He indicated that such permits would be granted routinely and rapidly.
âIn the past, with the exception of last year, this is how we functioned in the residential zoning areas,â Select Board member Roxanne McCaffrey commented at the Dec. 17 remote meeting.
