Mr. Weinstein apologized for the errors on the chart and stated that staff will go back to <br /> review and then correct the numbers. - <br /> Commissioner Balch stated that the data source is from the Lieutenant's report. <br /> Commissioner Allen noted that there is no crime data for a 7-Eleven store that includes <br /> a gas station. She pointed out that both the store and the gas station should be <br /> considered for crime data at the proposed location. <br /> Mr. Weinstein agreed. He stated that crime is something staff spends a lot of time on, <br /> collaborating with the Police Department and looking and analyzing these this data. He <br /> indicated that Ms. Soo and he met with Lt. Bretzing, who provided this initial data, and <br /> Lt. Bretzing made it clear that he does not have any concerns with this proposed use. <br /> He added that Lt. Bretzing did call out the fact that he does not have data for a gas <br /> station with a 7-Eleven store, but he did not think that was a critical issue in terms of <br /> that specific combination of uses generating crime. <br /> Commissioner Balch referred to the noise measurements from the summary of <br /> long-term noise measurements on Table 2 on page 10 of the noise assessment report <br /> and asked staff to verify the 82 dBA reading in the L-max column under weekday. He <br /> noted that the noise generated under the existing condition is greater than what the car <br /> wash would have generated without the sound wall. He inquired if the noise is louder <br /> with or without the sound wall. <br /> Mr. Weinstein replied that the L-max reading is the highest volume of noise that was <br /> identified during that monitoring period when the noise consultants actually went out to <br /> this area and took noise measurements. He noted that 82 dBA may have been an <br /> ambulance driving down the street or something really loud happening. He added that <br /> that maximum is well in excess of the maximum noise that would be generated by the <br /> car wash with the noise barrier. <br /> Commissioner Balch inquired if the LDN, which is kind of the mean or median, would be <br /> a more appropriate measure. <br /> Mr. Weinstein stated that those are the day and night average levels. He added that <br /> that would be the reading one would get if noise were averaged over the course of the <br /> day. <br /> Commissioner Balch requested confirmation that the noise from the car wash would go <br /> down to 68 dBA or 69 dBA with the sound barrier. <br /> Mr. Weinstein said yes. <br /> Commissioner Allen noted that questions and concerns were received from residents <br /> regarding the noise that might be generated in their homes from the car wash.
