Don Carroll, Department of Public Works, provided a brief overview of the transportation
plans and requirements. He stated access is off CR 74, at the west end of Galeton, and
projected traffic is 10 half -ton trucks per day.
Mary Evett, Department of Public Health and Environment, reviewed the water and sewer
provisions. There will be a bathroom facility in the shop and a letter from the Town of Galeton
has been received stating their intention to grant a sewer tap at the site. In response to
Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Evett said there is currently no sewage system of any kind at
this site.
pa Jeff Murray, co-owner, represented the applicant and stated this is a place to stage
equipment and materials, but nothing is stored on -site long-term because most of their
equipment remains at the Noble site. They mainly perform new installation of automation,
metering, data collection, solar arrays, and electric compressors, and perform some
maintenance. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, he said 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday —
Saturday, are their typical hours; they are usually out in the field and no business will be
conducted at the shop, where they will do light vehicle maintenance. Commissioner
Rademacher noted that under these rules, if Mr. Murray needs to work after hours, he would be
in violation. Mr. Murray said the closest neighbor is a contractor and not likely to object to
extended work hours.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
Commissioner Rademacher suggested no hours of operation are necessary. Mr. Murray
concurred, noting emergency calls happen occasionally. Mr. Murray asked about the Condition
of Approval regarding screening, and Mr. Ogle confirmed the dumpster needs to be screened
and fenced, perhaps in the back of the property, and onsite storage requires screening. Mr.
Murray noted there is scarcely enough room to turn vehicles around as it is, so fencing the other
storage would limit room, and there are no residences looking directly at the property.
Commissioner Rademacher noted there is a subdivision to the south, and Mr. Ogle suggested a
fence along the rear of the property line to the east and place immobile equipment back there.
Mr. Ogle noted that future right-of-way on CR 74 will be an issue at some point in the future.
Mr. Murray confirmed all vehicles at the site are licensed and operational. Commissioner
Rademacher noted that this building has been here a long-time, so it doesn't seem anyone has
noticed or is bothered by the activity here. He proposed eliminating the screening requirement
entirely; therefore, Conditions of A0 roval #1.D, #1.F.5, and Development Standard #17 were
deleted by consent of the Board. Development Standard #4, regarding hours of operation,
was also deleted by consent of the Board. It was noted that on a sewer system it shouldn't
matter if there are a few more employees, so the number of employees in Development
Standard #5 was increased to 30, by consent of the Board.
In response to Chair Garcia, Mr. Murray said he and the applicant have reviewed, and
agree to abide by, the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as amended.
