To: Rosevil]e City Council Members Mayor Craig Klausing Councif Membet• Amy [hlan Council 1Vlember Jeft Johnson Cauncil M.ember Tammy f'ust Council Men�ber Dan Ro� Date: February 3, 20 ] � Subject: Propased vote ors the noise �vall for Rice Street I Tl-C36 project I(Ray McDonaEd) would respectfully prapose the fo[lawing criteria be considered when analyzing the discussion and possible vote for the noise wall at the next council meeting (February 8, 20 � 0) or wf�enever the next vote is raken. I would propose that the petition presented at the last council meeting be included as the starting point for the voting process. I Woufd propose that a writter, v�[e {yes I no) for Che properties that would potential�y beneft by noise reduction or be affected by the construction af th� noise wall be coi3sidered. At the next council meeting I would su.ggest that additionat new votes be placed on a forn� ihat lists the address of the property, the person's natne, the phone nuin6er, the vote either Yes or No, and a signature (sirrtil�ar eo the petition) be used. This met]�od 4vil] help idet�tify the votes of th.e beneficialiy affected properties and the votes af those properties tltat are not affected or benefited by the co��strucCron oF a. noise wa.11. I wouEd su.bmit that the vot.es oFthe properties that are not affected shaul.d c�oY be considered in the voting results. 1 beGeve that onEy properties that will potentially �ain a noise reciuctian benefit sl�ould be included in this vote. 1 do not believe that propec-ties that wiEl �ain na benefit from the f�aise wall should be included in this vote. The determination of the beneficiaEly affected properties should foliow the Following criteria" • Be within 200 {possibly 300) feet of the TH36 roadway. • Be of an elevation that is low enough to be in the "shadow zone° of the noise barrier wali. These parameters are taken from the Technical Information attachment from information that I got from searcE�ing various websites about traffic noise and noise barrier �vall. Website links ar� giveii Ear all information saurces. For example, 1 wauld submit t.hat the houses along Minnesota Avenue are at such a hei;h# or high elevation, that they would not be in the "shadow zone" of the nois2 wall and thus have liEtle or na naise reduction.. They also may alsa be too far away but that is not the poit�t in this example. I plan to be ai the next council meet.irtg and if I can be aiany assistance in any way, please feel free to ask.
