333 "The homeowners of Pleasanton Meadows are very concerned about the noise levels that are now, and will be, generated by traffic on Santa Rita Road. We believe that there are two possible solutions to the problem: either quiet the street, or place an effective sound wall between the street and the homes. "You must understand that one of the basic problems is that the homes are lo- cated about three feet below the street level. The most recent and best qualified sound studies indicate a sound wall with a height of 10'-8" above street grade and located as close to the street as possible is necessary for minimum acceptable noise mitigation. In our judgement, anything less than what is indicated by these studies is unacceptable. "The residents of Pleasanton Meadows have worked closely with representatives of Hacienda Business Park and Charles Salter (Accoustical Engineer) to find proper mitigation solutions to our problems. These meetings have resulted in complete agreement between Hacienda Business Park and the residents whose homes abut Santa Rita Road. This agreement calls for a 10'-8" sound wall locat~ as close to Santa Rita Road as is aesthetically possible. "The residents of Pleasanton Meadows feel very strongly about this issue and sincerely hope that our city Government responds favorably to our needs." No one in the audience spoke in opposition to this item. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the mitigated negative declaration. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Resolution No. 83-212, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and that a mitigated negative declaration is appro- priate for Santa Rita Road improvements between Sutter Gate Avenue and 1-580, and Pimlico Drive improvements between Santa Rita Road and Brockton Avenue, be adopted.
