Amplification in Holiday Park Commissioners Donovan and Dahlquist presented recommendations to the Commission on methods of controlling noise at Holiday Park which included the purchase of a digital sound meterj when amplification is used, speakers be positioned away from homes. These recommendations were based on data received when they surveyed the residents of the area (door-to-door)« Residents prefer, if amplification is allowed, that music not start before 10:00 a.m. and end at approximately 9:00 p.m. From the survey taken, it would appear residents do not view amplification as a big problem. „ Mr, Bill Chaddock of 3334 Eureka #1, addressed the Commission,, -He expressed concern on guidelines for controlling sound in the irk. Closing windows does not affect the level of sound, but turning the speakers away from the residences might help. Commissioner Wollrich responded that the control device would be installed in the electrical wiring at the park, set at a pre-determined level. When the volume reaches that level, the electricity to the amplifiers would be cut, Mr. Eggleston contacted the County of San Diego Health Department which has the responsibility of noise abatement, whose standards are 60 decibels at 50 ft maximum. The City of San Diego's standards are 75 decibels at park boundaries. Standard'noise level for residential areas is 50 decibels during the day, 45 ^decibels in the evening and 40 decibels at night. Acceptable 'evels for a park such as Holiday would 62.5 decibels during the day, 60,0 in the evening and 57,5 at night. Commissioner Kinghorn moved it be recommended to Council to adopt an ordinance outlining the following: a noise control device be installed at Holiday Park, when amplification is in use speakers be turned away from residential areasi amplification' MINUTES OF: DATE OF MEETING : TIME OF MEETING : PLACE OF MEETING: CITY OF CARLSBAD PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING October 16, 1978 7:30 p.m. City Council Chambers Page 2 COMMISSIONERS be allowed from 10:00 a,m, until 9;00 p,m.
