There are more than the allowed number of adult occupants. They also consistently park a large truck directly in front of the stop sign, blocking visibility.

I live nearby (across Walnut) in Broadview near Rogers St. The amplified metronome click used during band rehearsals (marching band? and/or during games) carries extremely loudly right into our home and creates a significant sensory disruption. Even with windows and doors closed, it is noticeable inside the house. We have had to stop leaving our windows open in the afternoons and evenings due to this nuisance sound. Is there any way the horn speaker could reduce its volume, or angled down toward the field or rotated away from the residential side of the stadium? Any small tweak to the speaker direction would make a massive difference for us neighbors.

Follow up to report # 211915 Thank you for reviewing my report. I appreciate the time Planning and BPD took to look into my concerns. I understand BPD's explanation that noise from vehicles operating at a business is not something they can cite as an ordinance violation. However, I don't believe that fully addressed the questions raised in my original report. I understand the property dates back to 1980 and that there may not be an approved site plan on file. However, if the intensity or nature of the business's operations has changed significantly since that time—particularly with increased semi-truck traffic, early morning unloading activities, or the regular use of residential neighborhood entrances—I was wondering whether those changes would require any additional review, approvals, or compliance with current zoning or development standards. I also noticed my question regarding truck circulation was not addressed. Specifically, are semi-trucks permitted to routinely access the property through the Broadview neighborhood entrances, or are they expected to use the primary entrance on Country Club Drive? If there is no site plan, is there another document or approval that governs truck access and circulation for the property? I recognize that businesses have a right to operate and that some level of noise is expected. My concern is not with the existence of the business itself, but whether its current operations and traffic patterns remain consistent with applicable City regulations and whether there are reasonable ways to reduce the impact on the surrounding residential neighborhood. I would appreciate any clarification you can provide regarding these questions. Thank you again for your time.

I wanted to reach out about the truck traffic and early morning activity at Foundation Building Materials on Country Club Drive. The business has been there for a long time, and I understand that some level of noise and truck traffic comes with being near a commercial property. Recently, though, the early morning activity seems to have become much louder. Trucks appear to be arriving and unloading around 5:00 a.m., and the noise from backing alarms, materials being unloaded, and heavy equipment carries into the surrounding neighborhood. I've also noticed that trucks regularly use the two entrances through Broadview in addition to the main entrance on Country Club Drive. I wasn't sure if that is how the property was intended to operate, so I was hoping someone could look into it. Would it be possible to review the approved site plan and confirm whether the current truck traffic patterns and early morning operations are consistent with the property's approvals and any applicable traffic and noise regulations? I'm hoping the City can review the situation and determine whether there are ways to reduce the impact on the surrounding residential neighborhood, especially during the early morning hours. Thank you for your time and consideration.

There is a full fledged business in operation at 1316 S. Palmer. There are multiple vehicles parked (usually white trucks, vans) and workers are working on them. The city is consistently ignoring this. The neighborhood is now considering the possibility of bribes or other forms of influence that is allowing this business. The neighborhood is also considering starting street business only to gain media attention. This summer we will engage this issue until resolved. If not resolved we will identify the city employees or elected officials who are accepting bribes from this business in order to continue.

The Golden shear barbershop has recently passed over new ownership. The establishment and owner have been unlawfully operating without any legal licenses. The owner and barbers have been giving services to the public without proper training and ever obtaining a license through the state barber board as required. This matter is very important and serious as without the proper training diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, or other infectious diseases can spread. The use of the razor blade and the lack of training in sanitation and chemical control can be a danger to the public. With many students entering the establishment there’s a risk with the spread of these diseases. The city of Bloomington should hold this business up to standards and make sure they get barbers license and state board approval to operate.

I'm annoyed with Bryan Park Pool employees. Are they on a power trip saying that we can't have pool noodles when the website says we can have noodles? One day I brought a noodle and everything was fine. The next time I was told noodles aren't allowed. I told them the website said noodles were allowed and they said the website is wrong? So whos right? Are pool noodles allowed at bryan park pool?

Thank you for continuing to investigate this and for forwarding the truck traffic question to Engineering. I wanted to provide some additional information and also clarify a few questions. First, I am not entirely clear on how 2615 S. Kendall Drive relates to the FBM operation or to the semi-truck traffic I originally reported. Could Planning clarify what commercial use was found to be occurring on that residentially zoned parcel? Is that property being used by FBM for access, truck circulation, storage, staging, parking, or some other part of its operations? My concern about truck traffic is also not limited to S. Kendall Drive. Semi-trucks serving FBM continue to travel through the residential neighborhood, including Watson Street and Bryan Street. My broader concern is why semi-trucks serving this commercial facility are routinely entering and traveling through the residential neighborhood at all, rather than accessing the commercial property from Country Club Drive. For Engineering, I would appreciate clarification about whether semi-trucks serving this facility are permitted to routinely use Watson Street, Bryan Street, S. Kendall Drive, and other residential neighborhood streets as access routes. If there are currently no restrictions, does the City have the ability to establish an appropriate truck route or otherwise restrict commercial truck traffic through these residential streets? I also wanted to make Planning and Engineering aware of a significant change in ownership since the property's historic use was established. Lowe's Companies completed its $8.8 billion acquisition of Foundation Building Materials in October 2025. In announcing the acquisition, Lowe's specifically described plans to enhance its Pro business through expanded capabilities, faster fulfillment, improved digital tools, and cross-selling opportunities. I understand that a corporate acquisition alone may not necessarily require new local approvals. However, given the recent change in ownership, Lowe's stated goals for FBM, and Planning's discovery that part of the current operation has expanded onto a residentially zoned parcel, I think it is important to ask whether the nature or intensity of this location's operations has changed or may change enough to require additional City review. I am also unclear how substantially increased fulfillment, truck traffic, or other commercial activity could be accommodated at this particular location without further affecting the surrounding residential neighborhood. If operations at this facility increase, what zoning, site-plan, traffic, access, or development review would be required to determine whether this location and its existing access points can accommodate that activity? Here is Lowe's announcement regarding its acquisition of FBM: https://corporate.lowes.com/newsroom/press-releases/lowes-completes-acquisition-foundation-building-materials-10-09-25 Thank you again for looking into this. I appreciate Planning pursuing the Title 20 issue and Engineering investigating the truck traffic. I would especially appreciate clarification about how the Kendall property fits into FBM's operation and whether commercial semi-truck traffic through Watson, Bryan, Kendall, and the surrounding residential neighborhood is permitted.
