Residents of Beach Hill Road in Plymouth are voicing strong opposition to a proposed commercial truck repair business at 113 Beach Hill Road, citing concerns over safety, noise, and environmental impact. During a recent government meeting, local residents Crystal and Robert Skinner presented a letter detailing their objections, highlighting that the area is predominantly residential, with 65 single-family homes nearby.

The Skinner's letter referenced the town's zoning regulations, specifically section 407, which prohibits any land use deemed \"noxious\" or harmful to human health and the environment. They argued that the introduction of a commercial truck repair operation would violate these provisions due to anticipated noise from machinery, vibrations from heavy vehicles, and potential pollution risks to the nearby brook.

Concerns were raised about the safety of pedestrians, particularly school children and elderly residents, who frequently walk along Beach Hill Road, which lacks sidewalks. The Skinner's letter emphasized the dangers posed by increased traffic from commercial vehicles, including the risk of accidents at intersections that are already challenging for two vehicles to navigate.

Elaine Belkas, another resident, echoed the Skinner's sentiments, questioning how a commercial enterprise could be considered safe and harmonious in a densely populated residential area that includes a daycare and mobile home parks. She expressed fears about the noise, vibrations, and potential emissions from the proposed business.

The meeting underscored a growing apprehension among residents regarding the impact of commercial activities on their community's quality of life and the local wildlife, which they cherish. As the board considers the application, the residents are urging decision-makers to prioritize the preservation of their peaceful neighborhood.
