O TOWN OF MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2012, 6:00 P. M. The Board of Zoning Appeals met on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 6:00 P. M. at the Mooresville Government Center. Members present were: Chairman Neil Allman, Mike Young, and Ann Whaley. Alan Kramer was absent. Town attorney Tim Currens was present. A motion was made by Ann Whaley with a second by Mike Young to approve the minutes as submitted of the January 12, 2012 meeting. Motion carried 3-0. Jim Smillie, Golars LLC, appeared before the board to request a variance from development standards, a variance for placement of a remediation system. The gas station at the corner of South Indiana Street and West Harrison Street had a gasoline release years ago and IDEM has asked for this project to be completed. Golars needs to put a trailer with pumping equipment to use on three wells on the property and they may be there for 3-5 years. The 24 ft. by 8 ft. trailer will have to go at the back of the gas station and that will be a tight fit but is the only place they can put the trailer. The trailer is 10 ft. high and will be a foot from the back property line and a foot from the side • property line. Ann Whaley asked if the trailer would obstruct any traffic view. The trailer will not stick out but will be seen from West Harrison Street. The pump and treat will clean up contamination. There are a series of tanks to separate the water and vapor and add carbons and then the treated water goes into the sewer system. The vapor from the gasoline goes into the air. Attorney Currens informed the board that Town Council signed a release for monitoring and paying for the treated water that goes into the sewer system. The monitoring wells were put in years ago. A neighbor asked about the noise level and the gas vapor in the air. Mr. Smillie said the noise would be no louder than an air conditioner or the refrigeration units already there and the vapor in the air would be no more than is already put out by the gas station. A motion was made by Ann Whaley to grant the variance from developmental standards with the setbacks on the back from 12 foot to 1 foot and from 6 foot to one foot on the sides,the structure to be removed after completion. Mike Young added a stipulation the noise ordinance is obeyed. Ann agreed and added that with her motion. Motion carried 3-0. Verizon Wireless will be back to the BZA in March. Nicepak set their infirmary trailer back more than zoning standards so they did not need to come back to the BZA. They already have their permit.
