Thank you. To be completed by staff: Approved: Comments: November 5, 2013 Community Development Department Division of Zoning and Current Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 To Whom It May Concern: We are a small family business building custom cabinets, furniture and wood items and we currently have just the two residents here working for the business. We are starting a shop at 4319A Scottsville Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22902. The parcel is zoned RA Rural Areas. It is my understanding that in order to occupy this space 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. The shop is enclosed within four walls on the bottom level of the house where we rent and live. Three of the walls are partly underground within an embankment. Our major sources of noise are: 1) An inside 1HP Air Compressor which runs 5 minutes during an hour when the shop is in operation; 2) We expect to soon purchase a 2HP Jet DC-1200VX-CK1 Dust Collector which develops a low noise level; and 3) Inside shop equipment includes 10" Mitresaw, 3HP 15" Planer, l0" 1.5HP Tablesaw,1.SHP 14" Bandsaw and a 1.75HP Router, all of which do, not have an unacceptable noise level. Please note that only one of these pieces of equipment would be in use at any time in addition to the dust collector. Vibration Equipment operated by shop does not produce any detectable earthborn vibration. Glare 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. By-product of the operation is sawdust. A dust collections system (Jet DC-1200VX-CK1 Dust Collector 2HP) will very soon be installed to remove airborne sawdust from each station to an outside collection per OSHA standards. System is self-contained and does not represent a hazard to air quality. Water Pollution Paints, lacquers and solvents will be stored in a metal cabinet. We primarily use low or no toxicity stains and eco safe products, as this is a selling paint of our products. We rarely have liquid wastes, but those that we do have will be disposed of properly through garbage and not the water sewer. Our operation does not represent a hazard to water quality. Radioactivity My operation does not require handing of radioactive materials. Therefore there will be no radioactive emissions of danger to health and safety of person on or beyond the premises. Electrical Interference My 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 at 434-218- 3020.
