KINGFIELD – The Board of Selectmen will hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. Monday in Webster Hall to hear concerns and possible solutions for the operation of the Pit Stop go-cart track.

Concerns have been raised about noise from the operation of the more elaborate and high tech go-carts now being used at the track for events that run 10 weekends from June to October, Administrative Assistant Greg Davis said.

An initial consent agreement with the town was made for the operation of a private recreational facility, he said. The town’s zoning ordinance does not allow permits for race tracks so the track, started in 1998, was allowed to run as a private club, he added.

Some complaints from residents have been received regarding noise and whether it is being run as a commercial operation.

Kathy Houston says she hears the noise from her home, which is about a mile and a half from the track. The initial application, she said, stated that the track would be for kids and people to play with their go-carts and would be no louder than a lawn mower and less than a snowmobile.

Some residents are asking for a 75-decibel limit, Houston said, which is about the same sound level as a lawnmower. Some would also like to see the facility returned to a private go-kart track, she said. Houston would also like to see the selectmen renegotiate a consent agreement, she said.

The meeting will be open for all residents to state their concerns, ask questions and explore solutions, she added.

Some suggestions made previously have included giving residents a schedule of events so that they know what to expect, Davis said. Others included better mufflers, cutting down speed, growing pines and use of sound absorbing materials.

Selectmen hope to gain a better idea of how the community in general is feeling, he said.

Attempts to contact owner Richard Jordan on Thursday were unsuccessful.
