LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – Lake County commissioners are set to deliberate a new ordinance targeting the noise disturbances emanating from the Lake Dora Sandbar. This discussion is scheduled for the upcoming county commission meeting on Tuesday.

The Lake Dora Sandbar is widely recognized as a favored gathering place for boaters, particularly on weekends and holidays throughout the summer months.

Nevertheless, local residents near the sandbar have voiced concerns, noting that the music blaring from several boats has become excessively loud.

Positioned just off Deer Island, the Lake Dora Sandbar is at the center of this growing noise issue.

Elvin Montanez lives on Deer Island and tells us when the music is too loud or if it’s profane, he doesn’t want his grandkids hearing it in the backyard.

“As you can imagine, it’s uncomfortable, especially when the music is loud and, you know, there’s profanity laced in the music,” Montanez said. “You have guests that you want to entertain, and you have to bring them all indoors because you don’t want to expose them to that. You know, it’s not something that you should have to deal with in your private residence.”

Montanez has lived in his home for about a year and said the noise has become a problem.

“It’s every weekend,” Montanez said. “And when you’re here trying to entertain your own guests in your own backyard and the music’s kind of drowning you out. It’s, you know, it’s not something that you want to have to live with in your own home.”

We also spoke to some people who live on East Shirley Shores Road. Off camera, one resident told us she can hear the music at her house, which is a mile away from the sandbar.

During Tuesday’s county commission meeting, commissioners will discuss a proposed ordinance that would prohibit the sounding of any horn or signaling device for any unnecessary or unreasonable period, and the unreasonable use of any horn or signaling device.

The ordinance would also prohibit using any machine or device—including radios, televisions, musical instruments and amplifiers—from producing, reproducing or emitting sound that disturbs the peace, quiet and comfort of residents and visitors.

“I 100 percent support it,” Montanez said. “I would support, you know, decent neighbors. You know, you wouldn’t want your neighbors having parties every weekend and blasting music, you know, over into your house. That would be invasive,” Montanez said.

Christopher Sampson owns the Frozen Tritoon, which sells food and beverages at the sandbar.

Sampson understands people’s concerns but wonders how the proposed ordinance would be enforced.

“There’s a lot of people that have a lot of different opinions on this, and whether or not they can do this or play that music, and people like this kind of music or that kind of music, that’s a tough one,” Sampson said. “And I would love to sit in and listen to what they think about it. I think there are times when the music can get too loud or it can be too obnoxious. And I think if they can regulate that, that’d be great. But, other than that, I’d like to sit back and watch and see what they say about it and what they can do about it.”

If the proposed ordinance becomes finalized, violators will first receive a warning from law enforcement. If they do not comply after the warning, they could be arrested and charged with a second-degree misdemeanor.

Should commissioners decide to move forward on Tuesday, a public hearing would be scheduled for Dec. 16.
