DRAFT -14- <br />697 and did my calculations with the expected sound levels from the dogs that might be barking <br />698 outdoors. <br />699 <br />700 Bob Hornik: Mr. Purner or Mr. Schmidt can answer this question. I don't think we have <br />701 discussed the hours of operation? <br />702 <br />703 David Schmidt: The proposed hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. There are two components to <br />704 the services we are offering. One is a boarding service; the other is a daycare service. You <br />705 would expect the daycare to be people picking up dogs after work and the boarding would be <br />706 drop -.off when they wanted to with a maximum of 7:00 p.m. There is a quiet time in the middle <br />707 of the day and a lot of restricted hours on Sunday. <br />708 <br />709 Michael Harvey: For the board's information that is contained on sheet C1 on your site plan. <br />710 <br />711 Mark Micol: The hours would not change during the summer? <br />712 <br />713 Noral Stewart: One of the things you plan when you are planning these facilities is that dogs <br />714 bark at strangers coming up and cars approaching and the layout is such that the dogs are on <br />715 one side of the building and the people coming and going are on the other so the dogs don't <br />716 have that distraction. <br />717 <br />718 Bob Hornik: That is all we have as our presentation. I don't know if the practice is for a brief <br />719 summation or after others who wish to speak. <br />720 <br />721 Dawn Brezina: We do the summaries at the end. If that is complete, we can open it up to the <br />722 people who would want to speak with any objections to the project. <br />723 <br />724 Michael Harvey: Does anyone who wishes to speak this evening have any questions? <br />725 <br />726 Kathleen Schenley: I am sworn. I want to ask Mr. Stewart whether you measured the acoustics <br />727 from across the street on the east side. The sound bounce off Blackwood Mountain is pretty <br />728 significant. <br />729 <br />730 Nora[ Stewart: No, I have not. <br />731 <br />732 Kathleen Schenley: I am the property owner directly opposite the property where you go back <br />733 to the first, I am number 4 and I received no notification about this meeting. I found out about it <br />734 in the newspaper. <br />735 <br />736 Michael Harvey: A certified letter was mailed on the 27th of April. <br />737 <br />738 Kathleen Schenley: Never made it <br />739 <br />740 Michael Harvey: I'm sorry but we did send it. <br />741 <br />742 Kathleen Schenley: My name is Kathleen Schenley. My home is at 6714 Millhouse Road. It <br />743 was built in 1981. My property is directly across the street from the proposed facility. Here are <br />744 my concerns. First, water pollution; the runoff from this facility will drain directly into the pond <br />745 beside my home, the wetlands across the street and the ground water area in which my well is <br />746 located. Having witnessed the amount of runoff that occurs in this low lying area in a moderate <br />747 rainstorm, I need to see hard evidence that adequate measures are in place to protect the area. <br />748 1 have attached to my statement documents for your perusal that outline the problems that result <br />749 from improper management of pet waste and storm water runoff. The potential for disease is <br />750 undeniable. The impact on the surface and ground water in this area could be disastrous. <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 5/14/2012 Page 14 of 41 <br />
