Approach / Methodology <br /> <br />Project Approach <br /> <br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach Town Center Skate Park is situated next to two of Winston Tower's two <br />residential buildings and in the vicinity of several other multi-level and high-rise residential buildings. The <br />adjacent residential towers contain residential units with exterior balconies situated at finished floor <br />elevations that are equal to or greater than the existing Skate Park. A swimming pool and other outdoor <br />recreational facilities for the Winston Towers Community are also adjacent to the Skate Park. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />j <br />It is clear from the photos above, that the existing town center skate (in red) is immediately adjacent <br />to condominium residences, swimming pool, and recreational facilities. <br /> <br />Noise complaints from the Skate Park's operations have been previously documented by the adjacent <br />residences of Winston Towers and the Salem House. The City of Sunny Isles Beach retained a consulting <br />firm (KHA) in 2011 to assess the noise situation relative to the City's Code of Ordinances and the <br />complaints of from the nearby residents. Based upon the contents of the report, it appears that there are <br />documented noise levels that exceeded the current code criteria for noise (Sunny Isles Beach Code of <br />Ordinances) . <br /> <br />The proposed Methodology to address the noise concerns and provide reasonable noise reduction <br />measures is described below. The objective of the Acoustical Assessment is to define the ambient <br />background sound levels from the Skate Park and the residential locations while the Skate Park is closed. <br />Additionally, the same type of ambient conditions will be defined during the Skate Park's operational <br />conditions which will include peak usage times. The defined ambient conditions during this period will <br />provide the worst-case noise impacts which are most likely being experienced by the adjacent residents. <br />Finally, three (3) noise abatement plans will be proposed and computer modeled for noise reduction to <br />provide solutions to the existing noise levels associated with the Skate Park. Design and probable <br />construction cost estimates for each of the abatement options presented will be provided as part of the <br />assessment. <br /> <br /> <br />28 <br />
