Oral Communications cc.~ 3 - 3-09 ~ ~ Y o~~~,. ~a. I a~m.b ty ~ o Y'ce,~ Cc~mn rn , ~ i~ Business ordered to fix noise problern . Northern Sunny~rale condominium residE~nts who have complained at length about a constant hum from a neighboring business have been ]ieard. The Sunnyvale P).an- ning Commission, voting 6-1 on Monday, responded by granting Aixtron Inc. a variance from the city's noise ordinance, but requiring the company to install acoustical blankets, barriers and silencers on a chiller and two scrubbers on its roof. The macriines operate 24 hours a d~iy, seven days a week, and are necessary for clean rooms that the company needs to maintain. Tl~e company makes semicon- ductor manufacturin;; machinery. The new equipment is expected to cost $69,'?00. Residents described i:he noise in extreme terms, complaining of sleep de- privation and psychologi- calimpacts. There has been on,go- ing tension in the Morse Park Neighborhood Association area, which is bounded roughly by Fair Oaks Avenue, Highway lOl and Route 237. The city designated much of the neighborhood as an . industrial to residential zone, which makes it f~asy to rezone and redevelop properties so the city r_an get more housing: Residents said the city has failed to address tine resulting quality of life issues. - Cody Krizatz, Bay Area News Group _ ~~~W y F ~ Saturday, March 14, 2009 0~~.~ Ca~nrn The Cypress Hotel, 6:OOpm -11:OOpm ~ u Z~ t3~c~ck.man 10050 S.
