CityCouncil | 2016-09-06 | 7 | 367 presentation. Mayor Spencer inquired about the distance to the hospital. Mr. O'Rourke responded that the hospital is 3.5 miles away from the project site. Councilmember Oddie stated the project site is within half a mile from a Fire station with a full service ambulance. Kaitlin Bishop, Pacific Union Land Company, and Alan Rose, RGD Acoustics, continued the presentation. Councilmember Daysog inquired how far away the project is from the 65 decibel line. Mr. Rose responded that he did not measure the feet, but the current noise level is close to the 65 decibel line. Councilmember Daysog inquired how the 65 decibel line is determined. Mr. Rose responded a noise modeling program projects aircraft activity; stated the noise level is projected 20 years into the future. Councilmember Daysog inquired if the decibel line is currently at 65 decibel or if 65 decibels was modeled in the future. Mr. Rose responded the plan looks at a 20 year horizon; stated the recent contours are from 2015. Councilmember Daysog inquired if there are plus/minus factors to the contour levels; and are there margins of error to be confident the noise level is within the line. Mayor Spencer inquired if the there is an illustration showing the line in relation to the homes and proposed development. Mr. Rose presented a slide. Stated the assisted living facility is a good idea, but not at the proposed site; workers will have difficulties finding transportation to the facility: Dorothy Freeman, Alameda. Stated there is a need for an assisted living facility in Alameda; the traffic will be substantially different with the project: Kevin Hester, Alameda. Stated the Council should look at the use and not the EIR; the proposed facility is not an appropriate use of the site; parking would be an appropriate use for the area; the focus should be on increasing ferry ridership and parking for ferry riders: Tim Neilson, Alameda.
