Planning Commission Minutes DRAFT <br /> November 1,2007 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Mike O'Malley responded that often a General Plan makes this type of recommendation. <br /> OPENED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Roy Woolsey, Snell Lane, explained that about six years ago, he was unable to enjoy his patio <br /> due to loud noise coming from air conditioner units located at a neighboring property. This <br /> experience prompted him to measure the levels of many sound sources with a noise meter. He <br /> concluded that the Town's existing Noise Ordinance was reasonable and should be maintained. <br /> He suggested the current levels be written into the Noise Element. He stressed the importance of <br /> distinguishing between sources of continuous noise compared to sources of occasional noise. <br /> Mr. Woolsey suggested that in Program 1.4, page 8, there should be an additional sentence <br /> reading "Standards should be more stringent for these types of equipment which produce <br /> continuous noise than for sources which create noise only occasionally". He suggested that all <br /> applicants and contractors receive a copy of the Town Noise Ordinance before they begin <br /> development projects. <br /> George Kirkpatrick, Purissima Road, commented on "reflected" noise from sound walls and <br /> buildings. He encouraged reflected noise to be considered continuous noise with limitations <br /> written into the Noise Ordinance. <br /> Rahmat Karimi, Cumbra Vista Court, asked about "quiet asphalt" and the possibility of using it <br /> on Interstate 280 between Magdalena Avenue and Page Mill Road. <br /> Chairman Carey pointed out the proposed sentence in 1.5, page 8, of the General Plan that <br /> encouraged the use of quiet paving materials in Town including on Interstate 280. <br /> CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Commissioner Cottrell commented that the Town's Noise Ordinance should be amended to <br /> reflect the A scale. Roy Woolsey's point concerning continuous versus intermittent noise was <br /> important but should be addressed with regulation change rather than a specific statement in the <br /> General Plan Noise Element. The purpose of the General Plan was not to establish standards but <br /> to encourage regulations and ordinances to set new standards. <br /> Commissioner Collins agreed with Commissioner Cottrell's statements that the General Plan is <br /> for general not specific direction. She.supported Roy Woolsey's comments about having more <br /> stringent requirements for consistent noise as opposed to intermittent sound included in the <br /> Noise Ordinance. <br /> After brief discussion of the issue, Commissioners Clow, Harpootlian, Collins and Cottrell. <br /> supported the addition of Mr. Woolsey's comments in the General Plan. <br /> Commissioner Collins continued and requested a correction to the wording in the yellow box on <br /> page 4 to "15 minute" from"15 minutes". <br />
