She also addressed questions from the Board concerning noise. El Jeff Tarde represented the applicant and explained the proposal and addressed the noise standards. E Commissioner Long requested extensive noise mitigation in relation to the neighbor and questioned the odd notification. Mr. Ogle explained the surrounding property owner list is generated from the information that exists in the Assessor's website. Mr. Tarde answered questions concerning the applicant's lack of contact with the immediate neighbor, noise readings, and the plans to retain the site as an electric station only. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Mr. Tarde indicated no concern with the proposed Conditions of Approval and Development Standards. In response to Commissioner Long, Mr. Tarde reviewed the process for determining the placement of the pipeline and station. In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Light discussed the noise level comparables and suggested changing Development Standard #7 to the Non-specified noise level, which is more restrictive than Industrial. El Commissioner Garcia commented it is very quiet on the prairie when the wind is not blowing and Mr. Tarde commented it would be very difficult to mitigate the noise any further. Following discussion, the Board agreed to modify Development Standard #7, as proposed by Ms. Light. Following a brief recess, Mr. Tarde confirmed the noise reading taken at the fence line is 70 decibels and it drops to 42 decibels at one-quarter of a mile away. The Board encouraged the applicant to consider any additional mitigation measures to accommodate the neighbor. IE In response to Chair Conway, Mr. Tarde stated he and the applicant have reviewed, and agree to abide by, the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as proposed and modified.
