Il, LISTEN TO COUNTRY MUSIC Go-kar The Town of Whitby has been warned by a Ministry of the Environment noise ana- lysis study that complaints froi-local residents will in- tensify if the expansion of the Family Kartway Go-Kart track is approved. Spokesmen for the minis- try noise pollution control division say a study done by Valcoustics Canada Limited for Family Kartways is not clear in many aspects of its findings. As a result, expansion of Auxiliary places the track will require certifi- cation from the Ministry. According to the report, cer- tification could take any- where from three weeks to three months. A bylaw to approve the expansion of the track before June 25, the date when the coucil wanted to resolve the issue is said to be "very unlikely," because of var- ious requests for additional information which the town planning department staff say could be crucial in draf- ting the bylaw amendment. Mayor Jim Gartshore has expressed concern that the issue has dragged out for so long, and wants council to commit itself one way or the other. The report from Valcou- stics has varying figures in decibels, the measurement for recording sound, taken at a distance of 50 feet from the track. Both landscaping and a sound barrier are proposed to keep noise levels within the acceptable outdoor sound level limit of 55 decibels for residential areas. According to the Valcou- stics study a sound level of 70 decibels was recorded at 50 feet, although measurement conditions were not speci- fied. Data from the Ministry of Environment -indicates a 79 decibel level at 50 feet, using a standard engine with a standard muffler. The minis- try statement adds that test conditions should be speci- fied in detail by Valcoustics. The performance of sound barriers is questioned by ministry officials. They state the barriers may only pro- vide noise reduction foj noiseimpact can be expec- ted and adds that local resi- dents are not expected to sit back and take it. One local resident is con- cerned about the go-kart track's proposed expansion. He said that he built his home in 1951 before the go-kart track, gas station, car wash and other commer- cial development came into the area, and does not want to see any further expansion of the commercial develop- ment along that part of Highway 12.
