PlanningBoard | 2008-08-11 | 19 | Staff responded that there are city truck maps, but not specified driveways they enter and exit from. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft asked if the truck drivers decide which route to take. Staff responded that the city ordinance only requires truck drivers stay on routes to destination. They are allowed some flexibility. President Kohlstrand stated that the Board has certified the Environmental Document and approved the sign program, and identified some issues for further discussion at the next meeting. She asked if there was anything else on the table. Staff responded that if the Board had concerns about the hours of operation those concerns could be addressed. President Kohlstrand stated that outdoor activities/special events are permitted from 9am-9pm subject to compliance with city noise standards. Generally speaking the center is open 6am -12am and any activities outside those hours require special permission. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft stated there have been complaints about the noise from leaf blowers etc., there is a provision prohibiting these activities within 200 feet of a residence between 10pm and 7am, but then on pg 12, paragraph 43, mitigation measure regarding construction, limits noise generation more tightly. Perhaps it would help neighbors if maintenance equipment noise limits are considered within 300 feet instead of 200 feet and not time restrictions. Staff responded that 200 feet is easy to identify, 300 feet is in the middle of the parking lot without a clear landmark, which makes it difficult to implement. The applicant (Mike Corbett) stated that 300 feet is an issue, because Safeway is open 24 hours. The applicant has been very accommodating for a single person who has complained about noise, and has addressed all complaints. Not being able to street sweep while the lot is empty makes it difficult to keep the lot clean. The 300 foot distance is a real issue. Board member Cunningham asked if businesses at the Centre accept deliveries 24 hour a day. Staff responded that if a business is open 24 hours it can accept deliveries during those hours under previously granted entitlements. President Kohlstrand stated that with the exception of being within 200 feet of a residence. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft stated she was alarmed by the idea of Kohl's opening Page 19 of 21 | PlanningBoard/2008-08-11.pdf |
