What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? DE, New Castle County
The county owns a park that adjoins to our subdivision. They lease this park to a soccer club. As it was originally proposed, they were only supposed to have one soccer field and lights that were no larger than x ft (I don't know the specifics) and they were not supposed to operate after dusk. They were also supposed to leave a tree barrier in place between the soccer field and our subdivision.
Fast-forward to now (three years later). There are four soccer fields (and massive parking issues as a result) and to build one of them, they had to take down all of the trees next to our subdivision. The lights are over-sized and operate well into the night if there has been a storm or things are running behind schedule (which seems to be frequent).
Complaints to the county are largely ignored because they see the soccer club as a community service. We are largely unsure what else we can do because the county is the one that is supposed to enforce the park regulations. I was wondering if anybody has any advice.
