141: DRAFT JOINT PUBLIC HEARING PAGE 11 from the Faircioth property (Lot #11) . He stated that the operators work on domestic vehicles as well as race cars. He noted that he filed a complaint with the Orange County Planning Depart- ment on August 7, 1986 with Gene Bell. He read from the original complaint noting traffic hazards created by autos being parked on the right-of-way on either side of the road as well as excessive noise during and after business hours. He noted that much of the work was done on race car engines which have no mufflers which would reduce the the noise to an acceptable level. Numerous requests have been made of the garage operators to stop or at least decrease the volume of noise generated after regular working hours with no success. He noted that complaints have been filed over the last twenty months with the Sheriff' s Department. When the deputies leave the site, the noise level increases rather than decreases. Deputies have also informed Mr. Snyder that there are no ordinances which they can enforce to stop the noise at any time. Mr. Snyder disagreed; there are ordinances which, when enforced, can stop the noise. He urged the Board of County Commissioners to determine the accuracy of wording and the validity of application of the ordinance to the above mentioned garage. The following petition was read by Mr. Snyder: "We the property owners and interested parties hereby petition your the Board of Commissioners to not allow the error in zoning to invalidate any applicable ordinance or affect the enforcement thereof based solely on the technicality of such and not to allow any change in the zoning status of 3 .3011 regardless of how or when it was zoned without first making a thorough inspection of the premises and all pertinent facts and making a determination as to the suitability of subject property for any use as provided in all applicable ordinances." Snyder continued that the disturbance from this property began in January 1985 and has caused unnecessary hardships and much mental anguish. He asked that the Board of Commissioners to administer and enforce all applicable ordinances fairly to all interested parties. Yuhasz inquired what use was on the property in 1984. Snyder responded that Mr. and Mrs. Tyndall operated a small grocery and gas station prior to their deaths in 1983. Between 1983 and January 1985, a small engine repair shop was on the site.
