Re: Administrative Variance 89-9 (Scott)
Dear Mr. Gibson:
This letter responds to your request for a letter confirming the noise level readings taken at the residence of Dr. Scott, Assessor's Parcel No. 216-160-17.
The tests were taken with a Realistic Sound Level Meter, Model
33-2050 on July 5, 1989, during evening rush hour (5:OO-6:00 p.m.) and on Saturday morning, July 22, 1989 (9:OO-9:30 a.m.). The measurements were made in accordance with the owner's manual using the "A-weighted" filter with the slow response setting. Noise measurements were recorded from the gate post for the existing fence.
Noise levels of 72-75 decibels were consistently recorded during both traffic conditions with noise level peaks exceeding 76
decibels. When the meter was switched to the fast response, peaks exceeded 80 decibels. When a period of "no traffic" was observed, the noise level would fall to zero, indicating that the meter was properly functioning. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned at your convenience.
Sincerely,
mc Court Encinitas, CA 92024
