loud . . . whining, very irritating.” Although he maintained that a storage shed between the shop and the Sakalaucks’ residence served as a “noise barrier,” he agreed to limit hours when noise producing machinery is used to between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
As to complaints about odors from lacquer and paint, Mr. Von Fange said he plans to move that phase of his business across the street and would do so within the 30day limit suggested by the BZA as a permit condition.
But Mr. Von Fange balked at the restrictions on lumber storage and requirements for meeting “all applicable fire and safety codes.”
The Sakalaucks maintained that the lumber stacked under the overhang in front of the shop interfered with sight distance and thus posed a hazard for vehicles attempting to pull out onto Route 522 from the alley between the shop and their house. In addition, from an aesthetic standpoint, they complained about the appearance of a lumber pile covered with a huge blue tarp.
The cabinet maker countered that the wood pile is attractive. As to the traffic hazard question, he contended “it’s clearly crazy to say that it blocks sight.” The lumber is stored under an overhang where gas pumps once stood and the pile doesn’t extend past the posts which support the roof, he noted, arguing against even a limitation on the height of the lumber stack. “It’s a place to park a car. If I can park a van there, it’s certainly my right to store lumber there ... I see no problem with lumber blocking the line of sight, or I’d get rid of it!”
Asked by BZA member Gregory Monahan for an estimate on the traffic his business generates, Mr. Von Fange reported that he has a showroom in Sperryville where he displays and sells -his furniture. “So essentially the traffic to our shop is very limited.” However, in contesting a restriction against furniture display along the highway, Mr. Von Fange argued for putting his tables out in front of the Woodville shop. “All the apple stands in Sperryville put their products out... I want to show that it’s a cabinet shop. I want to attract tourists,” he said. “A cabinet shop should certainly have the right to display its wares.”
