Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes December 15, 2020 Page 4 Mr. Tom Archambault explained they did not have a conversation, when it comes to 1 construction and planning and things of that nature, there are a lot of moving parts and they 2 had to start in one area which was finding out where the property lines were. In that same 3 fashion, they wanted to do soil sampling and a Phase One Environmental Study for the shear 4 fact that if they found things within those reports that deemed the property unbuildable, it 5 would be a moot point and they would not need to have conversation with anybody until they 6 would figure out how to mitigate those issues. Also, for budgetary purposes, if a plan were 7 put together that was unaffordable then they would not need to discuss it. It is not a matter of 8 avoiding the residents there, but they had to start someplace. He explained he does have a 9 good relationship with the residents with The Kensington and many have supported his 10 business for years. He noted they will continue to be a good neighbor and look at the 11 concerns those residents have. 12 13 Ms. Cary Zahrbock, addressed the Commission and shared her concerns about the noise and 14 exhaust. She asked what the hours of operation would be. 15 16 Mr. Tom Archambault explained currently they are looking to have lower hours of operation 17 Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Saturday and Sunday hours would tentatively be the 18 same as Monday through Friday. 19 20 Ms. Fleming asked for confirmation that the car wash would be open seven days for nine 21 hours a day. 22 23 Mr. Tom Archambault indicated that was correct. 24 25 Mr. Steve Baylor indicated he lived at The Kensington and was on the Board of Directors. He 26 asked if there was anything else considered for that piece of property similar to a small 27 grocery store or convenience store rather than a noisy, fumy car wash. 28 29 Mr. Tom Archambault indicated Mr. Baylor and he have had that conversation in the past 30 with his background in the grocery business. But his background is in automotive and he does 31 not know anything about a grocery business. He has heard that residents would like to see a 32 grocery or convenience store there or it turned into a park, but he needed to do what he knew 33 in order to find the most success which is why he looked at a car wash. 34 35 Chairperson Westrick closed the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. 36 37 Commissioner Neumann stated she noticed that the landowner seems to have a very good 38 relationship and a good understanding of what the individuals living in that area are like. 39 Also, to the point of if he owns already an automotive business, it makes sense that he would 40 conveniently put in a car wash nearby. She thought it seemed smart and makes sense. It also 41 would seem there would already be noise from the auto shop along with fumes and gas. She 42 noted regarding noise, lawnmower are louder than what was indicated for vacuums. She 43 noted the first letter that was written and put in the packet, stated this is a community where 44 people are older and those things. She wondered if the writer was talking just about the area 45 where they were living or if they are talking about St. Anthony Village as a whole because she 46 4
