Mr. Benedict Page 2 November 3, 2000 <br />In a further effort to understand the situation, I obtained topographic maps of the area about 4000 <br />feet by 4000 feet centered on the subdivision. This identified two dominant paths of sound <br />transmission from I-40 to the community northeast of the Sunrise Springs property. One is through <br />a low area from the south-southeast and southeast. Far most of the homes northeast of Sunrise <br />Springs, this path does not even cross the Sunrise Springs property. Where it does for a few homes, <br />it is only a very small distance over an area that is not to be disturbed. The other path is from the <br />southwest over the Sunrise Springs property to the westernmost lots ofthe northeastern community. <br />However, this path is from an area where the highway is higher than both the community to the <br />northeast and the intervening Sunrise Springs property. The highest ridge in the path is near the <br />boundary between the neighboring lots and Sunrise Springs, in an area that will be undisturbed. <br />I trust this information will help your department and the county commissioners in evaluating the <br />appropriateness of this development. I am available and willing to provide answers to any questions <br />anyone may have, or to provide any other testimony that may be of assistance in this process. <br />Attached to this letter are a copy of my current resume and three additional pages about my company <br />and services so that you may be informed about my background and experience. Finally, at the <br />suggestion of Mr. Sydenham B, Alexander, Jr., the attorney for Dr. Diehl, T am submitting this <br />statement as a notarized affidavit so it may be properly considered part ofthe formal record before, <br />the county commissioners in lieu of any live testimony. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />STEWART ACOUST ONSULTANTS <br />Noral D.
