Club property that indicated a lower ambient background noise <br />level than that suggested by the Shekeda Study. <br />11. The noise readings taken by Potts and Atkinson were made with <br />meters provided by PCA and taken under procedures described by <br />Mr. Kelso of PCA and making reading at ten (10) second intervals <br />for double the time suggested by Kelso. <br />12. The Potts and Atkinson noise reading data was sufficient to <br />put the conclusions to be drawn from the Shekeda Study in <br />question. <br />13. The Shekeda Study failed to establish ambient noise levels at <br />the Club property line. <br />14. A ten decibel increase of noise level at the Club property <br />line over the ambient background noise level would be intrusive to <br />surrounding property and persons. <br />15. An increase in permitted noise levels above the 40dB <br />limitation would likely adversely affect property values of <br />surrounding properties. <br />16. Prolonged impulsive noise levels above background noise <br />levels are likely to cause emotional or mental annoyance responses <br />in persons subjected to such noise levels. <br />17. Elevated noise levels may cause physical impairment of <br />persons subjected thereto, such as elevated blood pressure and <br />biological changes. <br />18. The primary policy of the Comprehensive Municipal Plan is <br />that, <br />-3- <br />
