Petition to Address Noise Concerns at Big E's Restaurant

To: [Local Council/Noise Control Board]

From: Concerned Residents of River Haven and surrounding residents

Date: 10/26/2024

Subject: Request to Address Noise Levels and Operating Hours at Big E's Restaurant

We, the undersigned residents of River Haven are writing to express our concerns regarding the loud music and late-night operations at Big E's restaurant located at 1250 Highway 9 E, Longs, SC 29568

While we appreciate the vibrant atmosphere that Big E's brings to our community, the excessive noise levels, especially during late-night hours, have become a significant disturbance to our quality of life. Many residents have experienced difficulty sleeping, disruptions to family time, and challenges in maintaining a peaceful living environment due to the loud music that often continues well into the night.

Our Concerns Include:

1. Loud Music: The volume of music played at Big E's has consistently exceeded acceptable levels, making it difficult for residents to enjoy their homes.
2. Late-Night Operations: The restaurant's late closing hours contribute to noise disturbances during the late evening and early morning hours, impacting families, children, and those who work early shifts.
3. Community Impact: The ongoing noise issue has led to frustration among residents and affects the overall atmosphere of our neighborhood.

We respectfully request:

• A review of the current noise regulations in relation to Big E's operations.
• Consideration for limiting the volume of music played and the hours during which it can be played.
• Engagement with the restaurant management to find a solution that balances the interests of the establishment with the well-being of the community.

We believe that by working together, we can ensure that Big E's remains a valued part of our community while also preserving the peace and comfort of our neighborhood.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

Brandon Keenan
Emerald Rush Court, Longs, SC 29568
