SPRINGER:Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA:And this has to do with noise. Im wondering if in the new plans for your cabinet shop you have worked up any sort of acoustic materials to help reduce the noise coming from the shop? MOYLAN:I really havent got to that phase yet; but in the background, its a requirement that I have to do, is to sound proof the shop; and Ill gladly do that. SIRACUSA:It just says that your sound level shall follow the Health Departments rules, it doesnt, in the recommendations -. Was there something in the background? WATANABE:The rules on this are stricter than the Health Department. SIRACUSA:Yeah,Irealizethat.Iwasjustwonderingifwereleavingitwidenopen for this compliance, or if were going to request that he install acoustic tile, for example, or acoustical materials on the walls to make sure that the compliance happens. SPRINGER:Director Yuen, do you have any comments on Commissioner Siracusas concern? YUEN:Well, in actually thinking about this, its not going to be a hard to enforce the sound as I, when I started thinking about it. Because we could simply ask him to run his saws, and do what he does, and measure the sound level at the property line; and if its over 55 dba then hes going to be in violation, hes going to have to do something else to sound proof. He is going to have to do something more than what he has done. So I believe that we would be able to enforce that specific, the specific sound condition without getting into a lot of description about what he should do. He is going to have to do it to meet that standard. SPRINGER:Commissioner Salavea? SALAVEA:Thank you, Chair. Mr. Moylan, under the conditions set forth in the recommendation, No. 4 states that all operations and materials have to be within a fully enclosed building screened from public view. Just for clarification what will you be considering fully enclosed? Will it be as existing with, it looks like some openings with plastic covering over it, or will it be a single wall, double wall? MOYLAN:Okay. What youre seeing here was existing when we purchased the place, and never had a problem yet; and now we have a neighbor thats very close and the noise is bothering him. And now that were going, if we do receive the permit, thats going to be gone, what you have seen in the pictures; and were going to do a double wall with insulation with very few windows on that outer side towards his property. All the openings will be, any big openings that we need to access will be on our side. So personally I know as of right now, even with that, the decibels arent, if you stand out on my property line, theres no problem with that. The one consideration was the fumes, and we have installed the filtration system. Cause that was, you know, he brought that up; and we did, and I investigated. I have a neighbor down the 20EXHIBIT B
