Steve Chambers said that he lives on White Cross Road and he races motorcycles professionally. He said that Mr. Paveramo is his neighbor and the reason the noise has decreased is that he has been building a house. He would like to continue to race motorcycles. He said that in 1978 they moved to their property. People around him have started clear-cutting and now people nearby can hear mare of the noise. He said that a lot of people move to the country because it is a place where you can make noise. He is trying to make this a profession and he and his family like to do this at their home. He said that he was not trying to hurt other people. They run stop mufflers on their motorcycles, but he does not knave if this makes a difference. He said that if the noise is being measured at the neighbor's house and it is too loud by law, then that is fine with him. But he does not want it to be measured from his property because it might not be that laud at his neighbor's house. He does not want to lose what he is trying to do. He said that they put in an irrigation system on his track so they would not have any dust. Don Wollum said that he lives northeast of town and he generally supports the noise ordinance. He hopes that this ordinance will address trucks in the morning in a residential area in the County, specifically refuse trucks. The residential trash pickup starts at 6:00 a.m. He contacted the refuse company and they informed him that there was no provision for an appropriate startup time for residential trash pickup in the County. He hopes that this ordinance will provide some specificity as to the time that noise can be made. Commissioner Carey asked if the noise ordinance was complaint driven and Craig Benedict said yes. Commissioner Carey said that the County Commissioners do not have the authority to ban trucks. Geof Gledhill said that these are DOT roads and it is difficult for counties to regulate in an area where the state has preempted counties from regulating. John Link asked if this included information on the muffler and Geof Gledhill said that there are muffling requirements in state law. He will see if there is any room for the County to regulate in this area. Chair Jacobs said that they heard two sides of muffler issue -the motorcycle is operating with an approved muffler and the trucks are not. Geof Gledhill said that there is a difference in regulating sound an private property versus state roads. He thinks that sound an private property can be regulated. Discussion ensued on whether to close the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Chair Jacobs said that he would like feedback from Durham and Alamance Counties from their Sheriff's offices. Geof Gledhill made reference to "reasonable person" and said that it may be a good idea to use a reasonable person's standard, but also have some minimum thresholds that are beyond reason. John Link said that staff commented on how to quantify good neighborliness. He said that there is a question of what is reasonable; such as he may use a weed eater or leaf blower four times a year, but not every day for four hours. One measure for him would be whether the noise is generated for utilitarian measures or for recreation. The staff did not come up with any great ideas for how to quantify this reasonable threshold.
