"The Board of Health submitted a letter dated November 10, 2014 (see attached), <br /> stating they approved the site and septic plan along with several conditions to be <br /> adhered to including the venting direction of the spray booth. One of the conditions <br /> indicates the spray booth to be vented at the North section of the building away <br /> from the abutting residential neighborhood. The Health Agent suggested the Board <br /> adopt his recommended conditions for the Special Permit." <br /> 18. The ZBA did incorporate the Board of Health letter ("BOH Letter") into the Special <br /> Permit, and attached it thereto (so it appears in full below as part of Exhibit A). <br /> 19. The BOH Letter also states: "Hazardous materials and hazardous waste greater than <br /> 220 gallons per day are to be stored on site, and additional review shall be done by the <br /> health agent after the operation has occurred". <br /> 20. Taken together(the Special Permit and the BOH Letter) it is clear that the danger of an <br /> adverse impact to the neighboring properties is a strong possibility. There is no <br /> evidence in ZBA file establishing that venting emissions from spray booth to the north <br /> as opposed to any other side of the planned building will lessen in any meaningful way <br /> the adverse impacts of chemical discharges from the auto body operation. There was <br /> no scientific evidence that concentrations of toxins will reduce sufficiently by the time <br /> they spread to the adjacent residential neighborhood. <br /> 21. Further, the allowance of 220 gallons per day (or greater) of hazardous materials and <br /> hazardous waste on a site that abuts a residential zone is imprudent, and fails on its face <br /> to meet the applicable standards articulated above (Section 174-24C.1), prohibiting <br /> adverse impacts on neighboring properties. <br /> 5 <br />
