year round privacy and noise mitigation? Mr. Szymczak advises that has not come up during the study. It is not something that would be limited to Industrial uses but to other Commercial uses in terms of screening and dust control. Mr. Rondot advises that if the Committee moves forward with approval, this would be a preference of his to incorporate into the recommendations. Mr. McCloskey advises they would have the Landscape Architect determine what would be planted on top of the berms. The berms proposed would be north of existing trees on the property and would use coniferous trees over deciduous.

Member Gyemi comments about using plants for noise control and if that is what it is being used for then a solid barrier should be considered. Mr. Szymczak advises the berms are used for noise control. The Chair advises that is addressed during Site Plan Control.
