Council Minutes of 6/20/2006 sound emitted from the building when fans are running? Mr. Kolick said he was not aware of it but can check into it. 2) Angelo Papotto, 25654 Lake Road, Bay Village, owner of Suburban Collision, commented he was present tonight as he felt communications needed to be better between all the parties. He wanted to assure Council members that they did not intentionally give out false reports-they truly did not think there would be any issues with the paint booths. As Mr. Kolick reported, they are working on the issues. He did check on the noise problem one of the neighbors mentioned and got a quote for a muffler system. The cost of the muffler which is put on the stack is about six hundred dollars per stack. That can be taken care of. He wanted to clarify an issue regarding the filters. He did tell Melissa Meredith two weeks ago that new filters were going to be put into the pits of the spray booths. They came to find out that one of the layers was never installed, and those were installed two weeks ago. He had Sherwin Williams out yesterday, they opened up the grates again and realized that the filters they sent were the wrong ones. New, much denser, filters came today and were installed. As to the doors, he was the person who realized they were not sealing totally properly when Mr. Gazeau visited and they were standing in front of the door. He could smell something coming out of the crack of the door, which did not seem right. He contacted Mr. Morehouse, from Spray Bay, and asked him for a quote, which was about seven thousand dollars. The doors were ordered, and he hopes this will resolve the problem. He is keeping the back doors to the shop closed. He is doing everything he can to continue to solve this problem as rapidly as possible. Councilman Miller said he echoed Mr. Gazeau's comments about cooperation. It sounds like they are trying to address the problem, but he does have reservations. He asked Mr. Papotto if he will continue to use the paint booths while waiting for the doors to be installed. Mr. Papotto said the booth was used today, and the situation is that the odors happen perhaps once every two weeks. This is far a short period of time, anti he does have two points of contact in the residential neighborhood. He will use the one booth and cut down the use of the one with the doors and see if that helps. He has been out in the parking lot numerous times and did not smell any odors. There have been faun different people from the city out, and each of them told him they didn't smell anything. He knows there is an odor, but it is intermittent. Mr. Kolick said they hoped the new filters that were installed today may also take care of the problem. As faz as using the booth, they will cut down on it until the new doors are installed. Councilman Miller carnmented on the close proximity of homes of this site, which is different from the original site on Dover Center Road where there was no problem. He wondered if extending a stack might help to get the air up and out of the area. He suggested they might want to consider suspending use of the booth on hotter days and ozone alert days. According to the graph submitted by the residents, those seem to be the days having higher annoyance levels. It is understandable about business costs to air-condition, but the residents are being isolated in their homes. They cannot sit out in their own backyards. So there is another side that must be considered in balancing all of this. 15
