ensure noise and odor issues are eliminated. Mrs. Meredith reminded everyone that under the revised chapter the city has the right to revoke the applicants conditional use permit. Therefore as long as the conditions are clearly spelled out it is then up to the applicants to do what ever it takes to meet those conditions and if the conditions are not continuously met then PetSmart loses their conditional use permit. Mr. Rerko agreed that a performance specification should be set and then it's the applicants responsibility to build to the specifications. He believed that the commission should hold them to specific dBA levels, which he described. Sounds emanating from the roofline to the tenant to the south will require some type of acoustic ceiling system installed to keep the noise levels from penetrating the roofline. Concrete will absorb odors and he recommended using epoxy sealants to eliminate odor absorption. The condition of odors not being allowed around the perimeter of the building will address odor issues. Mrs. Meredith believed that no odor outdoor would be hard to accomplish as dogs currently visit the site and the odor is minimal. There is a company called 5 senses which sells equipment to perform odor studies about which she has forwarded information to the building and safety departments. Mr. Rerlco said properly designed HVAC systems can ensure zero odors indoor and outdoors using proper filters. The existing doors along the east are for emergency use only they cannot be used for drop off or pickup purposes. Mr. Laslco advised that the board would not address sign variances until scaled sign package drawings are submitted. Mr. Malone advised that as there was not a vet on site a vet sign was not warranted. Ms. Wenger strongly suggested the applicants decrease the number of signs and eliminate any signs from their canopies as she would not support canopy signs.
