Paradise Township Enforces New Regulations on Former Chestnut Grove Resort Property to Address Community Concerns
(MONROE COUNTY REPORTER) Paradise Township — In response to increasing concerns from local residents, Paradise Township has enforced a new set of regulations on the property at 106 Carlton Road, formerly known as Chestnut Grove Resort. The property, now owned by Chestnut Grove Resort Realty, LLC ("CGRR"), has been a source of noise and disruption since its acquisition by Joseph Mamrout and Albert Mamrout, who are using it for private purposes.
The transition from a public resort to private use has led to numerous complaints from neighbors regarding noise violations, late-night fireworks, and other disturbances. Existing ordinances were deemed insufficient to address these issues, prompting the township to impose stricter regulations.
