Subject: Madidrop, Light Industrial, Application for Zoning Clearance, CLE #2015-181
Mr. Howard,
We received Application for Zoning Clearance (d. 9-1-15) for Madidrop, a firm that manufacturers ceramic water
purification tablets. Image from GIS shows manufacturing location is separated from R1 Residential and Planned
Residential Development areas by Avon Street Extended. TMP 09000-00-00-03500 is immediately adjacent to a
Neighborhood Model District. Having considered description of a process that involves: electric kilns/untreated kiln
emissions, silver nitrate; truck deliveries (clay/sawdust); and operation of hydraulic presses, a Certified Engineer's Report
consistent with 18-4.14.5.a. is appropriate. Information submitted by James A. Smith is helpful, and supports request for
a Certified Engineer's Report. Report content requirements are listed at 18-4.14.5.a. Please submit PE -sealed report for
County review.
When responding to citizen inquiry re. manufacturing, simply being able to respond with data helps. Without more
discrete data on performance standards listed at 8-4.14.5.a.1.-4., Albemarle County is hesitant to allow document in lieu
of a Certified Engineer's Report. Information to date does not allow effective or full response to inquiry. Report should
address: decibel level at distance (hydraulic presses); hours of operation; correspondence with Albemarle County Service
Authority re. discharge to sanitary collection system; status of all state/federal permits required, held or applied for; and
technical rather than narrative evaluation of untreated kiln emissions. Your business may thrive in this location with
minimal complaint, and may be helped in this through a Certified Engineer's Report. Dr. Smith appears well-qualified to
prepare a PE -sealed report —ref. 18-4.14.5.
We appreciate your help in this matter. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
