Approved • Thirdly, the applicant proposes to bisect the rubble pile into two, north -south sections, segregating the areas where gated trucks and non -gated trucks dump rubble loads. The gated trucks would dump at the northern half of the pile at a height of no higher than 25' and the non -gated trucks would dump at a height no higher than 40'. City Planner Gundlach reported that while staff was reviewing the new plans, additional information has been requested of the applicant to ensure sound goals are met under the revised plan. Staff has since approved a 60 -day extension allowing the City to take additional time to review the request. She recommended the Planning Commission open the Public Hearing, take comments from the public and then make a motion to continue this matter to the May 20, 2014 Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner McPherson asked if the City had a sound expert reviewing this request. City Planner Gundlach indicated the City was working with a sound expert to resolve the issues with the applicant. Mike Murlowski, Belair Excavating, thanked staff for the thorough report. He believed that he could resolve the issues with the City and welcomed comments from the City's sound expert. He looked forward to sitting down with staff in the coming weeks to ensure that all sound concerns were properly mitigated. He anticipated that Belair Excavating could still meet the City's June 1, 2014 deadline if he received approval in May. Auren Kemtop, 1140 Rockstone Lane, appreciated the fact that Belair Excavating was willing to put in a berm. He stated he has not had a problem with noise at his home. Roger Schilling, 1187 Mississippi Street, expressed concern with the sound levels taken from the Belair Excavating property. He had an issue with the dump -truck tailgates banging along with the rear - backup beeping. Tim Collins, Wenck Associates, discussed how he had measured the sound levels at Belair Excavating. He reported the meter was set to react as a human ear would when the measurements were taken. Commissioner Danger requested further information on how the sound measurements were taken. Mr. Collins discussed how he completed the measurements at Belair and reported the frequencies were not broken up. It was noted the beeping and tail -gate thumping were linear noises. He reviewed the differences between urban and rural noise levels. Commissioner Danger questioned if the desired decibel level should be closer to 50 than 56. Mr. Collins provided comment on when measurements were taken at Belair and referred to the Wylie Levels document. He explained how his sound measurements were calculated at the property and how it was impacting the neighboring properties. He reported the surrounding terrain absorbed sound quite nicely. Commissioner Danger asked if the sound measurement equipment could be taken to the adjacent neighborhood for readings. Mr. Collins believed that reliable samples were taken at the applicant's site. Commissioner Banker inquired the peak level of noise at the Belair property. Mr. Collins commented he would have to review his reports and could provide the Commission with this information in May. Commissioner Banker questioned if background noise was taken into effect when the decibel measurements were taken. Mr. Collins stated this was the case. Chairperson Howard thanked Mr. Collins for his insight and looked forward to reviewing this matter further with staff and the applicant in May. Motion by Commissioner Danger, seconded by Commissioner Nichols - Matkaiti, to table the Public Hearing to May 20, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. Approved 7 -0.
