Super Star Car Wash Noise Violation
Summary
Residents of Allen Street say the car wash's blower noise invades their homes all day, every day — scaring horses, disrupting sleep for a resident with PTSD, and making yards unusable. The company says it's already at compliance per its own consultants and is installing AcoustaBlock soundproofing this week, but city staff hasn't confirmed compliance. The council will revisit the case October 13.

Planning Commission
David and Maria McLean told the Commission the car wash near their Allen Street homes runs constant blower noise from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., affecting her husband's health, their animals, and their ability to use their property. They allege the required 12-foot sound wall was never built, the facility exceeds the approved blower count, and the approved noise study conflicts with city code.
City Council
Months after a notice of violation, Allen Street neighbors say the car wash's constant hum and blower noise still keep them out of their yards and threaten their horses and health. The operator's consultant says it's now within code; the city's own measurements and the area's council member disagree. The case returns December 8 with a required blower-swap plan and wall-height verification.
