ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (CITY COUNCIL/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY) SOUNDWALL CONSTRUCTION/CAPISTRANO GARDENS #2 - SAN JOAQUIN HILLS TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR (800.50) The following residents expressed concerns regarding the noise impacts on their property from the newly constructed San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor and the need for soundwalls: City Council Minutes -2- 4/15/97 155 ' a. Kathleen Petersen, 31121 Via Santo Tomas, advised that the Capistrano Gardens 42 HOA was encountering a serious problem relating to increased noise impacts following widening of the freeway behind their homes. She advised that the TCA promised that a 10-14 foot concrete soundwall would be constructed after the additional lanes were completed and that had not been done. She stated that homeowners could no longer live with the noise impacts. She advised that the residents did not intend to lose their fight to mitigate sound problems because they felt their neighborhood and property values were worth preserving. b. Ray Petersen, 31121 Via Santo Tomas, presented drawings indicating ground and sound profiles before and after construction of the Corridor, as well as correspondence regarding the soundwalls and noise levels. A residence at 31084 Via San Vicente had been profiled in the presented documents, showing that the house is exposed directly to the noise. He advised that throughout their neighborhood there were two-story homes exposed to the noise because previous buffers such as hills and trees had been removed during construction. Although he appreciated the City's aesthetic preference for dirt berms, he requested that the City take action to remedy this situation and expressed the neighborhood's frustration that despite a plea to the City last fall, nothing had changed. He further advised that lawsuits had resulted between former and new homeowners who had bought homes in the area with the information that a soundwall would be constructed. C. Marsha Talbot, 31126 Via San Vicente, noted her residence abuts the freeway. She stated that she would not have purchased her home in 1996, had she known that the promised wall would not be build. After the corridor lanes were opened, she advised that the noise was immense, and there is direct access to her backyard from the freeway. She felt that the noise studies conducted were inconsistent and misleading. She indicated that she would pursue litigation if action was not taken as soon as possible to construct a soundwall. d. Lindy Gustafsson, 31118 Via San Vicente, whose property backs up to the freeway, stated that noise was already significant when she purchased her home in 1991 but that she was promised by the TCA that a soundwall would be constructed. She noted that she received, signed, and returned a "permission" letter from the TCA allowing them access to her property for construction of the soundwall. Then the TCA leveled the existing berm and removed all of the landscaping to make room for their construction vehicles, resulting in extremely excessive noise levels. She noted that she was forced to install double -paned windows to be able to watch television in her house. She asked that the City to follow-through on the commitment that was originally given to construct a soundwall. She added that no berms had been constructed behind her house and that the previously existing berm had been flattened. C. Cindy Gularte, 31082 Via San Vicente, expressed frustration over this issue and requested the City's help in resolving the noise problems. She noted that residents' ' concerns were expressed to the Council at a meeting in the fall of 1996 and that nothing had been done since then to resolve the problems. She stated that the City Council Minutes -3- 4/15/97 1S6 completed project consisted of partial and low berms, and partial walls that end at her residence. She indicated that after construction of the corridor the noise is also more noticeable in her front yard. She requested help with resolving this problem. Virginia Hoffman, 31071 Via San Vicente, stated that although her property does not back up directly to the freeway, the noise has increased significantly and has ruined their neighborhood. She felt that the neighborhood park was a funnel for noise into the neighborhood. g. Beverly Collins, 31232 Via San Vicente, stated that noise from the freeway surrounds her property, which is situated at the highest point in the neighborhood. Council Member Campbell indicated she would personally take the residents' testimony with her to the TCA for response. Mayor Swerdlin also requested that the City Attorney and Mr. Huber meet with these residents to determine how the problems could be resolved, with a report back to the City Council. Council Member Jones clarified that the City Council did not "go behind anyone's back" with regard to the berm vs. soundwall issue. He explained that it was the City's preference to construct effective noise barriers with some aesthetic value, and that the Council had chosen the berms after assurances that berms would provide better sound attenuation than soundwalls. SAN JUAN ROTARY CLUB (130.50) Len Brass, 33511 Calle Miramar, President of the San Juan Rotary Club, announced their sponsorship of a Youth Forum scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 1997. He explained that the goal of the forum was to determine what young people want and need, then to develop a plan for the community to address those needs. He invited Council Members to attend a "VIP" meeting on May 7.
