, , acoustically eifective barrier, it must be constructed airtight, i.e" without cracks,
gaps or other openings, and must provide for long-term durability. Barriers can be
constructed of masonry, wood, stucco, earth berm or a combination thereof and
must have a minimum surface weight of2.5 lbs. per sq. ft. Ifwood construction is
used, homogeneous sheet materials are preferable to conventional wood fencing.
as the latter has a tendency to warp alid fonn openings with age. However, high
quality airtight tongue-and-groove, boud and batten or shiplap construction can
be used. All connections with posts or pilasters must be sealed airtight. No
openings are permitted between the upper barrier'components and the ground.
b. The barrier at Lot 1 shall be 7 ft.. high and continue at 7 ft. high along the rear
property line contiguous with Lot 7. The barrier may be reduced to 6 it, high to
connect to the house on.Lot 7.
c. ' The barrier at Lot 8 shall be 7 ft. high and continue at 7 ft. high along the rear
property line contiguous with Lot 13. The barrier may be reduced to 6 ft. high to
connect to the house on Lot 13.
d. The barrier at Lots 14, 13 5, 136~ and 137 shall be a minimum of 6 ft. high.
e. The required barrier locations are presented in Figure 7. The barrier heights are in
reference to the nearest building pad elevation. If the barriers need to be re-Iocated
for aesthetic reasons~ to shield parts of the building facades, or for any other,
reason, the new locations shall be reviewed and approved by a qualified
acoustician.' '

a: Maintaip closed at all times all second floor and unshielded (a view beyond a noise control
barrier) first floor windows within 135 ft. of the centerline of Wren Avenue and with a
direct or side view of the road. The windows specified to be maintained closed are to be
operable, as the requirement does not iniply a "fixed" condition. All other windows and all
bathroom windows may have any type of glazing and may be kept opened as desired
unless the bathroom is an integral part of a living space without a closeable door.
b. Install windows rated minimum Sound Transmission Class (STC) 28. In addition
to the required STC ratings, the windows and doors shall. be installed in an '
acoustically effective manner. To achieve an acoustically-e~ive Window
Construction, the sliding window panels must fonn an air-tight seal to the outside
environment when in the closed position and the window ftames must be caulked
to the waD opening around their entire perimeter with a non-hardening caulking
compound to prevent sound infiltration. Exterior doors must seal airtight around
the full perimeter when in the closed position. An acoustical test report of all
sound rated windows should be'reviewed by a qualified acoustician to ensure that
the chosen windows will adequately reduce traffic noise, to acceptable levels.
c. Provide some type of mechatllcat ventilation to assure that the indoor environment
is habitable. The Uiliform Building Code (UBC) specifies the mechanical
ventilation requirements.
