That is based on the noise and potential complaints that may be generated by the moto-cross or <br />sno-cross events that take place at this proposed location. <br />Although there are no residences adjacent this property-the potential for noise issues is still there. <br />These types of race vehicles typically have tuned exhaust system capable of loud noises that are <br />capable of traveling far distances. The sno-cross race at the fairgrounds during the winter can be heard <br />for over ~/z mile and even further at times. <br />Noise mitigation and control will be a necessary part of this approval process-or I am confident that will <br />be getting a multitude of noise complaints from residents-that will be very difficult to respond to. <br />Jeffrey A.
