/o-3' adc� v <br /> 9 h <br /> In answer to a question from Commissioner Brown, Mr. Stewart explained that when the <br /> source of the noise is 100-400 feet away, the atmospheric effects are quite strong. He explained how <br /> the sound goes up and back down at different times during the day. Anything that is done on the <br /> property would only have benefit during limited periods of time when the sound is angled a certain way. <br /> He does not think that anything can be done to make a major reduction or increase in the noise in the <br /> subdivision. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to table <br /> this item to receive further information. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> The issues to be addressed for this item are noise abatement, private vs. public roads, the <br /> septic system, the perennial stream that runs through the property, and whether there are any restrictive <br /> covenants. Commissioner Halkiotis would like information on a possible penalty package that can be <br /> put on this project. <br /> Norl Stewart said that he made some measurements tonight at 7:30 in his development area <br /> at various locations and on Pine Tree Lane near the intersection of Sunrise Road and it measured 52-54 <br /> decibels.
