a second letter from Kay Stanton forwarding a
communication from Carl Yanchar, President of Wave Space,

that based on the information ,that has been provided to him,
he is of `.the opinion'. that noise levels from the proposed
project will exceed that which is permitted by the Municipal
Code. The Associate Planner reviewed the Agenda Report
dated April 13, 1998.
Mark Fork, Manager of the Victoria Garden Villas, 260
Victoria Street, No. A3, Costa Mesa, did not object to a
business at this location that would provide a positive image
to the community; but he did oppose an auto repair facility
which would disrupt the nearby residents.
351.
Kay Stanton, Property Manager, 251 "B" Avocado Street,
Costa Mesa, provided Council with a copy of her letter
stating that the noise from an auto repair facility, which
includes pneumatic tools, impact wrenches, and air ratchets,
will seriously impact the neighborhood for ten hours a day,
six days a week;. She claimed that the Planning staff's
assertion that the parking lot is an adequate noise buffer is
not supported by scientific study and that no evidence has
been offered to show that a parking lot or rear wall will
contain the noise: She believed that a properly conducted
acoustical analysis of the situation would be a benefit to both
the residents and the business owner. Ms. Stanton asked
that the following: mitigation measures be required: limit the
hours of operation to 9:00, a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, with no operation on Saturday; require the
repair bays to be insulated with sound absorbent material;
require an eight -foot block wall on three sides of the property
covered with mature plant material; require the dynamometer
to be located in the repair bay closest to Victoria Street; and
require sound dampening devices on all pneumatic tools.
Than Hyun, General Manager of the Victoria Garden Villas,
260 Victoria Street, Costa Mesa, felt that this type of
business should not be located within 200 feet of a
residential area. He believed that the zoning needed to be re-
addressed for that particular use.

presented Council with a petition containing signatures of 12
tenants of the complex who are in opposition to the auto
repair facility.
