<br />12/17/2007 <br /> <br />2. Noise Disturbance Coordinator. Designate a noise disturbance coordinator <br />who would be responsible for responding to any local complaints about <br />construction noise. The disturbance coordinator would determine the cause <br />of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early, bad muffler, etc.) and institute <br />reasonable measures warranted to correct the problem. Conspicuously post <br />a telephone number for the disturbance coordinator at the construction site. <br />(The City should be responsible for designating a noise disturbance <br />coordinator and the project applicant should be responsible for posting the <br />phone number and providing construction schedule notices). <br /> <br />3. Construction Hours. Restrict noise-generating construction activity to <br />between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Prohibit <br />such construction activities on weekends and holidays. <br /> <br />4. Construction Barrier. Construct a perimeter, solid plywood construction <br />barrier, eight feet high, to shield nearby residential land uses from <br />construction noise. Prohibit site access on common boundaries between the <br />project site and adjacent residential land uses (e.g., the Villas at Bair Island) <br />during construction phases. <br /> <br />5. Construction Equipment Mufflers and Maintenance. Properly muffle and <br />maintain all construction equipment powered by internal combustion engines. <br /> <br />6. Equipment Location. Locate all stationary noise-generating construction <br />equipment, such as air compressors, as far as practical from nearby <br />residences. <br /> <br />7. Truck Routes. Route all construction traffic to and from the project site via <br />designated truck routes where practical. Prohibit construction-related heavy <br />truck traffic in residential areas where feasible. <br /> <br />8. Quiet Equipment Selection. Utilize quiet construction equipment, particularly <br />air compressors, whenever possible. <br /> <br />9. Pile Driving. Utilize multiple pile drivers to expedite this phase of project <br />. construction and reduce the duration of associated impacts. <br /> <br />10. Blanket Barriers. Cover pile drivers with temporary noise-control blanket <br />barriers. <br /> <br />11. Pile Holes. Pre-drill foundation pile holes to minimize the number of <br />percussions required to seat the pile. <br /> <br />Findings: Because these measures would reduce this impact to the greatest <br />extent feasible, and because the impact would be intermittent and short-term, the mitigation <br />would reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level. <br /> <br />Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 <br />121707 <br /> <br />40 <br /> <br />14829 <br />Muff# 613 <br />
