DRAFT -16- 805 things from a great distance more loudly than you do over the afternoon? That has to do with 806 atmospheric conditions. It will cause you to hear these distant things sometimes. 807 808 Mark Micol: In your expert opinion, based on the distances from the road, which is 500 feet, 1 809 believe, will the cars turning on the road be louder than a barking dog? 810 811 Noral Stewart: If you are standing close to the car, yes. If you are standing on the shoulder of 812 the road, the cars on the road will be louder than the dogs. I don't have the sound level for a 35 813 mph car. I know that at 55 mph the sound that a car makes is about the same as a large dog, in 814 terms of maximum level. If you are 100 or 400 feet from the car or 400 feet from the dog, when 815 the car goes by, the maximum level is about the same as the level of the barking. We know 816 there is about a four or five dB decrease for each 10 mph so 35 would be 10 dB lower but you 817 also have to take into consideration the distance but if you are close to the car, it will be louder 818 than the dog. 819 820 Bob Hornik: The sound of a car driving past someone on Millhouse Road right beside the road 821 would be louder than the sound of the dog in a kennel 400 or 500 feet away? 822 823 Noral Stewart: Certainly if they are close to the road. That road is only 35 mph so I can't make 824 a claim that 400 feet from that road, the car is the same as th6 dog 400 feet away because the 825 car is going slower than 55 mph. If you did have traffic of 55 mph individual cars, maximum 826 level would be about the same as a maximum level as a car. 827 828 Dawn Brezina: Any further discussion or questions? Could we label this last piece of paper 829 Exhibit 3... Mrs. Schenley's paper? 830 831 Michael Harvey: If no one has any questions, it is up to the Chair to excuse the experts. 832 833 Dawn Brezina: Does anyone else think they may have any questions? 834 835 Cornelius Kirschner: I have been sworn in.. I have prepared a short blurb and sent it to Mr. 836 Harvey and apparently he has given it to you but subsequently I received some test results back 837 on my pond, Millhouse Pond, and I would like to submit that as part of my blurb so I have these 838 here if you want to hand them out. 839 840 Michael Harvey: We will call this Exhibit 5 and Mr. Kirschner's statement Exhibit 4. 841 842 Cornelius Kirschner: Before I begin, I have to say I am impressed with all the work and 843 professionalism everyone has displayed here. It is amazing how large this project is how much 844 already has been put into it. I have lived at the Millhouse on Millhouse Road since 1972. On 845 March 11, Tammy showed me the architectural plans for the proposed kennel located on the 846 beginning slope of Blackwood Mountain above my home. My home is located directly on 847 Millhouse Pond. On March 15, 1 sent them a three page outline of my grave reservations about 848 the project. My concerns centered around the road access to the proposed kennel, traffic 849 generated by this business, immediate and long- term erosion control, water quality, both ground 850 and surface. Tammy and Drew suggested that we meet with their civil engineer, Chad Abbott, 851 on March 29 to address my written reply. Regretfully, the meeting did not leave me with any of 852 my concerns. They were unwilling to change any part of their plans to address the issues 1 853 raised. Every point I was met with the standard response, all facets of the proposed kennel 854 meet code. Furthermore, when I addressed the issue of the new road for the proposed kennel, 855 they refused to entertain the motion to use the existing private road, Bruin Way, which leads 856 directly to the proposed kennel. Tammy's father was a partner and owns the private road; 857 consequently, I am here this evening to bring these concerns directly to you. New road access; 858 the Purner's have chosen to exercise their right to build this new access road on an easement OC Board of Adjustment — 5/14/2012 Page 16 of 41
