POSITION PAPER <br />Subject: <br />Point: <br />Receiving 0oc< <br />Use and Noise Issues <br />fy. <br />? <br />V' <br />I,' <br />•i <br />fi <br />.

The design of the old store <br />goes back to 1974. It has a very outdated receiving design and does not allow <br />for the quick handling of product that is needed in the present supermarket <br />envi roniMnt. <br />An additional door cannot be put In place on the east side of the building due <br />to design and topographical constraints. We would have to move a11 our <br />electrical panels, which would probably cost $40,000 ■*>. Because of the <br />elevation and space constraints of the lot, we would not be able to place a <br />second delivery door and compactor on the east side. <br />We have designed the retaining wall on the west side of the building to serve <br />two purposes. First It will serve as a wall sheltering the truck well and <br />•Iso serve as a retaining wall. Secondly, it is designed to shelter the <br />compactor and will be used as a noise barrier. The compactor noise, when It <br />is cycled, provides a very low level hydraulic hum. which will not penetrate <br />into the adjacent properties. The truck noise of backing Into the delivery <br />well will be very mlnloml. In fact, 1 feel the car, bus and truck noise from <br />county road 15 will be heard much more than our delivery vehicles. <br />These Issues have already been cddressed in the zoning process wisely done by <br />the City of Orono. We have a classic case of coiimercial property adjacent to <br />multiple dwelling property which shelters the homes from the retail businesses. <br />Please see attached drawings.
