There is huge difference between JFK and county airfield. Zoning and environmental law pertains to all kinds of pollution including noise is HUGE deal in Canada. I can see if the zoning is incorrect, other people’s property could be close to the property enough to create a problem. As much as I love racing, I would not want to live in a house where I can hear tire screeching from 8am to 5pm every day. > > If the zoning is correct and the track have every right to be there, then there should be no issue to begin with. If it is not, either the owner can convince to have the property rezoned, which is highly unlikely for the purpose intended; or come to a comprised with the city. > > We can sign as much petition as we want, however I personally doubt the effectiveness of it legalwise. The petition did not even address how any of the issues can/will be resolved, but simply stating the facility promotes the interest and safety of the hobby. I doubt anyone, especially the people who live around there that files the complain, care about racing. At least, the petition should say how keeping the facility open promotes people to spend money in their area and in turn helping local business with more sales, lowering their property taxes and more funding to the city for improvements. There is a lot more going on than what is in the first post in here. Does base everything on just that and the other conclusions you have jumped to. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/save-dunville/246998)._
