PlanningBoard | 2016-01-25 | 2 | President Knox White open the public hearing. Mark Pelzner, the applicant, said he has been planning and preparing for this for years and has tried to allay any concerns his business might create. He says he has made improvements to the garage/shop area to mitigate sound concerns. Board Member Sullivan asked how much time the applicant spent using power tools VS. quieter activities such as sanding and staining. Mr. Pelzner said he uses a mix and aspires to do fine woodworking and it is hard to give a percentage. He said he now plans to work behind closed doors where in the past he worked in the open which created more noise. President Knox White closed the public hearing. Board Member Sullivan made a motion to approve the permit with the stipulation that business hours are confined to Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm. Board Member Henneberry seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0. 7-B 2016-2499 Planning Board Workshop on Alameda Point Site A Design Review for Block 10 Commercial Urban Park Staff Member Thomas introduced the item.
