PlanningBoard | 2013-01-15 | 3 | Board member Köster asked if there will be a design review tonight. He also questioned the curb cut going directly into the garage and smog only versus a smog station. Mr. Thomas replied that the design can come back to the Board at a later date. Yes there is a curb cut directly to garage, and the applicant can speak on the smog servicing question. Owner/Applicant Albert Boehler, stated the state laws have changed as of January 2013 and the reason he submitted his application is that there are no longer a test only facilities. There is a star certification required by the state, and he is confident his shop can meet that standard. Board member Henneberry asked whether the vehicles being serviced would be half way out of the bay what would the noise ramifications be, and if noise is part of the state certification. Mr. Thomas reported they have looked at other facilities, and the noise readings have met the ordinance levels, and noise is not part of the state certification. President Zuppan opened public comment. Mr. Boehler wanted to clarify that cars built in the year 2000 or newer would have a simpler test then older models. New cars don't need the car to be running for a long period of time to test. Terry Walker, resident, stated that the dynamometer makes a loud noise, the wheels roll fast and the engine revs up also making loud noise. He expressed concern on signage, and the number of cars on Fernside Boulevard. Daryl Dorn, stated that he lives next door to the service station and is concerned about the noise and pollution. He is concerned about the impact to the elderly community across the street, along with the High Street business corner. Jon Spangler, stated that he doesn't live close to the area in question but has been a longtime customer of Engine Works in a similar neighborhood. He suggested a one-year review for the use permit and he supports the application. President Zuppan closed public comment period. Board member Henneberry asked the noise pollution issues. Mr. Thomas stated that the use permit could be reviewed and compliance with noise standards a condition of the permit. Board member Henneberry asked if the owner operates on Saturdays.
