Hi folks 
We received a letter today notifying us of tomorrow night's agenda. We are glad that we were notified, 
however, this is the first we have heard of this and wish we had more than 24 hours to review the documents. 
Will there be time for our comments as we don't see it on the agenda? 
 
We live next door at 120 Bloomingdale Rd. and we are concerned about noise from the Williams School 
Athletic Complex (on the courts and from the sound system) and lights at night. We talked to Head of School 
Mark Fader repeatedly this spring about the noise from their existing field sound system blasting into our 
property. For the most part, our efforts have been successful. Unfortunately the existing flood lights on their turf 
field are on all night every night. We do not want another source of noise or light pollution in the neighborhood. 
We would prefer a hard commitment on what time the courts will be shut down for access, lights off by 7:30pm 
and sound systems not used at maximal volume settings.

Peace and all good things  
John and Karla Umland
