of Sherwood Road between the Metro Transit bus turn around and Grandview Square and
questioned if parking in the area was adequate. Mr. Hughes commented that the parking on the

Library have events simultaneously.

Section A,as follows:
1. Removal of NO PARKING ANYTIME signs on the west side of the 5000 block of

FOUNTAIN WOODS NOISE UPDATE Sanitarian Velde reported that noise level measurements
were taken on July 28 and 29, 2003, on the air conditioning equipment for Fountain Woods
Condominiums located at 6670 Vernon Avenue. He noted the noise level did exceed the nighttime
noise standard by an average of 2.3 dBA. Mr. Velde said John Rocheford of Rockford Management
Page 3
Minutes/Edina City Council/August 19,2003
was notified of the violation. Subsequent to the notification, Mr. Rocheford explained a door had
been left open on the air conditioning enclosure to allow air movement and cool the equipment.
Mr.Velde said the door was closed on August 7 and 8 when noise level measurements were taken
to determine whether closing the door would bring the equipment back into compliance with the
nighttime noise standard. Technically, the readings from 10:00 P.M. to 4:00 A.M. violate the
nighttime L(50) noise standard. Mr. Rocheford was advised of these findings and has contacted a
mechanical contractor to investigate if the equipment was extra noisy due to wear or age. Mr.
Velde concluded from a legal standpoint, it would be extremely difficult to prosecute this as a
noise violation.The average noise level was at 50.16 dBA.
Member Masica inquired what type of structure was surrounding the equipment. Mr. Velde
responded the structure was made of wood, with plywood panels. Member Masica asked if the
City could do anything to mitigate the noise level. Mr. Velde stated that discussions have been
held with management about lowering the noise level.
Member Housh asked what the penalty was for violating the noise standards. Mr. Velde
responded that perhaps a final complaint would be filed and a court date set. A judge would then
set the penalty.
Mr. Hughes suggested he would meet with Mr. Rocheford on behalf of the Council to see if a
mutual resolution could be reached. Mayor Maetzold offered to attend the meeting as well. Mr.
Hughes said he would report back to the Council after meeting with Mr. Rocheford.
No formal Council action was taken.
