Dillon Manship: I don't know. <br />Neese - Brown: So any testimony you gave about a Special Use Permit granted to the Barn at Chapel Hill is <br />not based on your personal knowledge and as such as not permissible as evidence. <br />Dillon Manship: Correct. <br />Neese - Brown: Do you have any particular expertise in acoustics? <br />Dillon Manship: I do not. <br />Neese - Brown: Do you have any reason to refute the statement in the acoustical report that regarding the <br />Barn at Valhalla, which is your business, that states that on Page One that for ballgame noise using a PA <br />raised voice speech spectrum, a sound level at the back of the Barn of Valhalla property puts ballgames <br />noise levels at 35 dBA and under 40 dBA at the Barn of Valhalla's closest point to the ball field with worse <br />case assumptions? <br />Dillon Manship: Wouldn't worse case assumption be LA peak, which is 61? <br />Neese - Brown: If you look at the first page... <br />Dillon Manship: I apologize. I'm just seeing this tonight because the email went to my spam folder. And I <br />only have this one (Jan. 2). <br />Neese - Brown: Here, let me give you this one. This is the one dated Jan. 4 and it addresses the current <br />conditions. It speaks to two properties. It speaks to your property and a neighbor's property. Look at it and <br />tell me you disagree. Only the one neighboring property raised an issue if there was no control. <br />Chairwoman Cabe: Please restate that question because I didn't hear it. <br />Neese - Brown: The question was whether he would refute that the statement in the acoustical report. The <br />conversation regarding ballgame noise... <br />Dillon Manship: "at the back of the Barn of Valhalla property. Primarily due to booming bass, peak DJ music <br />noise levels could reach 54 dBA." Which over 50, which is over the Orange County noise ordinance. <br />Chairwoman Cabe: Where are you reading? <br />Dillon Manship: Between Page 2 and Page 3. <br />Neese - Brown: And so the Orange County ordinance during the day is what? 60? <br />Dillon Manship: Depends on the day. <br />Neese - Brown: Maximum decibel level during the day, Sunday through Thursday, is 60. And then 50. <br />Correct? <br />26 <br />
