We have three employees and are currently forming a licensed, independent retail used car dealership, which will be located at 3325 Lobban Place, Charlottesville VA 22901. The parcel is zoned LI-Light Industrial. It is my understanding that to use this space for the dealership we will need to submit this Letter of Performance Standards along with our zoning clearance application. We have addressed the standards referenced in Section 4.14 and provided the following responses: Noise. Our operation will not create sound or impact noise levels in excess of the values specified in Section 4.14.1. Our operations will be confined to the interior of the building. Our major sources of noise will be an outside Shp, two -stage Air Compressor that will run average of 10 minutes throughout the day. It will be enclosed in a shed to protect it from weather and to cut down noise. The machine tools utilized inside the shop is all electric and thus do not have an unacceptable noise level. Vibration. Equipment operated by shop does not produce any detectable earthborn vibration. Glare. Aside from exterior motion -sensor lighting which do not shine beyond 10 feet from the building, our operation is completely contained within the building. The interior lighting associated with this operation does not produce glare that is visible beyond the lot line. Air Pollution. There will be no emission of smoke, odor or gaseous pollutants beyond normal gasoline -powered vehicle emissions. Water Pollution. Oil and coolant fluids utilized in the vehicles will be disposed of properly. We maintain secure drums for these fluids, which are either disposed of by a certified handler or by our employees, who transport the drums to the local landfill for safe disposal. Our operation does not represent a hazard to water quality. Radioactivity. Our operation does not require handling of radioactive materials. Therefore, there will be no radioactive emissions or danger to health and safety of person on or beyond the premises. Electrical Interference. Our operation does not require any equipment that would generate electrical disturbances that would adversely affect the operation of equipment on any other lot or premises. Please feel free to call me with any further questions you may have. Sincerely, Janet Arzt, Managing Member N N 0
