Jenny Soo <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />From: Miller, Darlene <br />Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 2:47 PM <br />To: Terry Snyder; Donna Decker; Jenny Soo <br />Cc: Mike Miller <br />Subject: Follow up to meeting with Brian Dolan on March 12 <br />Hi Terry, could you please ensure that Nelson Fialho, Brian Dolan and Donna Decker all get a copy of <br />this letter. <br />Dear Mr. Dolan, <br />Thank you for meeting with us last Thursday, March 12. This letter summarizes our discussion as well <br />as our feedback on your recommendations. <br />In the meeting you stated that you would not be loosing up the conditions in the use permit. You were <br />quite emphatic about that, and we were very pleased to hear that. For years, the Masons have been very <br />good neighbors, operating the building as it was originally designed, approved by the City, and <br />constructed. <br />However, several times you stated that you would probably allow the Masons to keep the glass doors, <br />and you did not state that you would prohibit activities on the north and west sides of the building. In <br />our opinion, these are changes that result in loosening up the conditions, the very thing you committed <br />not to do. Here is why. <br />Doors in Building <br />The general noise code for residential properties is 60 dB at the property plane (Code 9.04,030 Noise <br />Limits—Residential Property). During the day, it is 70 dB 25 feet from the originating structure ( 8 a.m. <br />and 8:00 p.m. daily Monday through Saturday and 10a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays) <br />(Code 9.04.070 Daytime Restrictions) <br />The current doors are French doors with glass window panes. We do not know the sound transmission <br />coefficient (STC) for the doors. However, our noise measurements indicate that the doors are <br />inadequate to keep the Masons in compliance with the noise codes when music is played inside the <br />building. <br />When music is being played inside the building and the doors are closed, our noise meter normally <br />measures over 70 dB at our property line. Since our property is 75 feet from the structure, a reading 25 <br />ft. from the structure would be even higher. The only way the Masons could comply with the noise <br />ordinance is to: (1) remove the door and restore the original structure, (2) prohibit music inside the <br />building, or (3) replace the existing doors with something much more sound proof, an expensive <br />proposition, and they would still need to control the notice level inside. Bands and music systems can <br />be very loud. Since the Masons do not attend the events they sponsor, there is no way for them to <br />guarantee that the noise inside will not overpower whatever new doors they might install. <br />3/16/2009 <br />
