Lemay Shores - PUD- Concept P1an Application
Planning Case 06-02; NAC Case 254.04 — 06.02
Hoffman-Mendota Shore L�C
2105 Lexington Avenue
�
Low Density Residential
Hoffman-Mendota Shore, �LC has submitted a PUD Concept Plan for the
development of cottage-style twin home buildings north of the Augusta Shore
development. The concept calls for the development of 31 twin home buildings
for a total of 62 homes. The overall site area includes 68 acres of which a total of
41 acres is proposed to remain as open space. The overall project densiiy is
0.91 units per gross acre with an upland density of 1.28 units per acre. This
density is well below the maximum allowable density for this area.
The subject site is currently zoned R-1. The applicant is proposing to rezone the
property to R-1 PUD to allow for flexibility from the cul-de-sac length and lot area
requirements of the Ordinance, and to allow sir►gle family attached units. This
process was utilized for the Augusta Shores project by the same developer, just
north of this proposed project. �
Backqraund Information and /ssues Analvsis
� In 1997, the City considered a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Cemetery
fo Low Density Residential as part of the Augusta Shores residential
development applicatian. The area is currently guided for residential uses and is
Zoned R-1.
As part of the current request, a PUD is being sought by the applicant. The
purpose of a planned unit development is to allow flexibility from certain zoning
standards to achieve a higher quality project than whafi would otherwise be
achieved through conventional zoning. Ex�mples of flexibility from the strict
interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance include design standards, increased open
space, natural resource preservation, superior building quality, and / or a higher
standard in landscaping design.
According to the Ordinance, all PUD development applications should be
reviewed based upon the following guidelines as found in the Ordinance:
1. Encourage flexibility in the design and development of land.
2. Preserve the natural and scenic quality of open spaces.
3. Encourage a diversity of housing types within a developrnent.
4. Permit a mixture of several zoning district uses within a development
project.
5. Permit modification and variance of zoning district requirements.
6. �imit develbpment to a scale appropriate to the existing terrain and
surrounding land uses.
The City will need to make a finding that the proposed project is consistent with
the goals of the PUD ordinance as a part of the next phase of PUD review.
Subdivisson �nc9 Loi �.ayout
The City has enacted a rnoratorium prohibiting the processing ofi new Subdivision
applications. At this stage, the project is proceeding as a PUD (a zoning
process). Because the City merely comments an Concept Plans and no formal
action is taken, this project may proceed at this time. A Preliminary Plat will be a
part of the next phase of review.
All of the lots are located to have direct access off of the e�ended public street.
Due to topographic conditions that exist within the site, major elevation changes
will be required for the development to proceed. As a result, the overall
landscape of the site will change dramatically.
All of the lots are outside of the shoreland setback area as identified on the
concept however, Lot 17 and 18 are located 20 feet from the edge of the deck to
the setback area. This will limit the usable yard area. It would appear that these
��
lots could be shifted east (toward Lot 15 and16) while still meeting the side yard
setback requirement. ��
Airport iVoise
It appears that a majority of the site is located within the Airport Noise Reduction
Zone 4. The zone allows single/multiplexes with individual entrances as long as
construction meets the noise reduction level numbers established by the Aircraft
Noise Attenuation Ordinance. According to the applicant, all homes will be noise
attenuated to meet and exceed the Metropolitan Council and City construction
standards, similar to the Augusta Shores development. LeMay Shores is located
within the same 60-65 DNL noise zones of Augusta Shores. The applicant's
submission material indicates that prior to the new runway opening, the Augusta
Shores neighborhood was located with the 65-70 DNL, an area with greater
airport noise impact.
Circulation
The street right-of-way as shown on the concept plan is 60 feet wide and
therefore meets the Ciiy's right-of-way requirement. The concept plan calls for a
single access onto the site off of Rogers Raad. Due to the shape of the praject
area, LeMay Lake and topographic conditions such as steep sloops, access from
aliernate location will be difficult or impossible. The majority of the lots are
designed to have access off of a cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac length is measured
at 2,000 feet and therefore, flexibility from the overall cul-de-sac length
requirement is being sought by the applicant.
According to the Subdivision Ordinance, Section 5.3 (2), cul-de-sac lengths are ��
recommended to be 500 feet. The current length is 1,500 feet over the
recommended length. As a point of reference, during the Augusta Shores
development, the cul-de-sac length was measured at approximately 1,200 feet
and 1,400 feet.
Long cul-de-sacs present some general concerns within urban design. Most of
these concerns relate to emergency vehicle access and general circulation
issues. Another concern specific to this cul-de-sac is the grade change within
the subject site. From north to south there is a 32 foot elevation change. A
significant amount of grading wil) be required within this area to allow safe driving
conditions. To mitigate the emergency vehicle access concern, the applicant
has arranged to reserve an emergency access point through Resurrection
Cemetery near the far north end of the project.
The applicant has also provided for future extension of the roadway to the south.
The applicant should work with City Engineering staff to ensure that this location
provides for a reasonable connection to the adjoining property.
�
i
Setbacks
Within a PUD, the perimeter setbacks imposed in the base zoning district are
� considered. Within the base R-1 district, the following perimeter setbacks are
applicable: `
,
Front yard setback 30 feet
Side yard setback 10 feet
Rear yard setback 30 feet
The overall lot layout conforms with the setback standards of the Ordinance. As
the plans move fonnrard to the development stage, the applicant will be required
to verify setbacks to ensure conformity with these standards.
Building Architecture
As a PUD, the City has the ability to offer recommendations with regard to
building architecture. The applicant has submitted exterior designs for the
buildings front elevation. The homes will incorporate a cottage style design. An
additional three-car garage option will be available with a turned garage design
as shown on the development plan. These buildings are similar to those
constructed in Augusta Shores.
Landscaping
No landscaping plan has been submitted to date. As part of forthcoming
submissions, a landscape plan will be required. Such plan should specify the
location, variety and size of all proposed plantings as well as a tree protection
and replacement plan. Buffer plantings should also be incorporated around the
proposed pond and shoreland setback areas. Additionally, the landscaping plan
should incorporate specific boulevard plantings and plantings specific to the
garden areas.
Crading, L7rainage, and iJtilities
A grading plan is not required during the concepf stage. As a condition of
approval however, the applicant will be required to provide detailed grading,
drainage, and tree protection plans to minimize runoff and preserve the site area.
According to the applicant, the development plan incorporates a natural wooded
entryway, with a proposed newly created pond area and fountain. The
neighborhood has been designed to allow for many single-loaded streets. The
development will however result in a drastic change to the surraunding grade and
landscape of the area_ According to the Subdivision Ordinance, Sectian 5.8
discaurages construction and grading on slopes steeper than 18%. Based upon
the concept plan, it appears that several of the proposed house pads exceed this
requirement. The grading plan required as a part of the Preliminary Plat stage
will illustrate the level of impact on the slopes. It would appear that without PUD
flexibility in this area, little development land would be available.
� Buffer plantings should also be incorporated around the proposed pond
and shoreland setback areas.
m The landscaping plan should incorporate specific boulevard piantings and
garden area plantings.

1. Site Location Map
2. Application materials dated December 28, 2005.

� ;
Development /�greemeni
As a condition of fiinal plat approval, the applicant will be required to enter into
subdivision and PUD agreements with the City and post all the necessary
securities required by them.
SummarV and Conclusion
The overall concept plan is laid out in a fashion that allows for a residential
development within a tight site area. The overall development proposes to
dedicate a significant amount of open space.
The intent of the concept plan review is to allow the City to provide comments
and recommendations to the applicant prior to the development stage of the
PUD. In review of the conceptual plan for LeMay Shores the following comments
are offered for consideration.
Site Planning
m The applicant should prepare information with regard to the garden areas
proposed for the site. What restrictions will be placed upon these areas
and what percentage of these areas will be usable space (exclusive of
sleep slopes)? �
�� � The City may wish to require a trail system that links the garden areas to
_ the adjoining homes. A conceptual trail connection is shown on the
concept plans.
Cercula�ion
a The Citv will need to make a finding at the next stage of review that the
cul-de-sac length is acceptable. Issues to consider relate to emergency
vehicle access as well as the elevation change from north to south which
may make winter driving an issue.
.. .
� The change in elevation within the site will be significant.
e Cusfiom design and grading within the site area could be required in an
effort to preserve the surrounding area.
Landscaping
� �andscaping within the site should specify the location, variety and size af
all proposed plantings as well as a tree protection and replacement plan.

LElVIA3I S�IO1�S -- I'YTD Concept Plan Applicatflon
I)e�elopment Schednle:
1. E�pian�tion of the claaracter of the Pla�ned iTnit l�evelopanent:
The LeMay Shores neighborhood is planned as a continuation of the Augusta
Shores development located to the immediate north of this proposal. The homes
will incorporate a new cottage style design, allowing for a mix of natural color
tones throughout the development. The twin homes will be a move-up rambler �
design product with an average sales price over $500;000. This neighborhood
proposal includes thirty-one twin home buildings, for a total of sixty-two homes.
One new additional feature incorporated into the neighborhood, as requested by
homeowners, is a 3-car garage option tha.t is available with the turued garage
design and additional setbacks as shown on the development plan.
.All hornes will be noise attenuated to meet, and exceed, the Metropolitan Council
and City of Mendota Heights construction standards, simiilar to the Augusta
Shores development recently completed. LeMay Shores is located within the
same 60 — 65 DNL noise zones as the existing Augusta Shores project. Prior to
the new runway opening, the Augusta Shores neighborhood was located within
the 65 — 70 DNL, which is considered an area with greater airport noise impact.
The development plan includes a dxama.tic natural wooded entryway, with a
proposed newly created pond area and fountain. The neighborhood has been
designed to allow for many single-loaded streets (homes only on one side of the
street). It includes extended home setbacks and curvilinear street features, garden
areas and large areas of open space.
The low overall project density of 0.91 units per gross acre and an upland density
of 1.28 units per acre fits within the existing R-1 zoni.ng of the property. The
�
proposed LeMay Shores project compares favorably to the Augusta Shores
project which is developed at 1.7 units per gross acre and over 2 units per upland
acre.
2. St�.tement oi prop�sed �ana�fl�ang:
All site preparation costs will be paid directly by the developer. The streets and
public infrastructure will be installed under city contract and will be assessed
proportionally to the newly created lots, similar to the Augusta Shores
development.
3. Stateaaient of preseaat ownership:
The property is currently owned by The Catholic Cemeteries. Hoffman Mendota
Shore, LLC is the contract purchaser of the property.
�4. Eapected schedule of d�v�lopgnea�t and phasing:
This project will be constructed as one phase. All physical i.mprovements will be
done at the same time and will not be phased. Homes will be constructed as sales
dictate, but we anticipate completion within three years.
�. C➢narae�e� and deaasaiy of t�e dw��n� una�s:
See response to item # 1.
6. ��nd�astr�al �r co�mere�a� acre��e �sad pr�je��ed ea�ploy�n��t:
There is not any industrial or commercial acreage within the development and
therefore no projected employment.
7e O�Sen �p�ce an¢� g�e�-c�ng��e �� nm��a�a���ae� sa������:
The 68 acre praperty provides �ignificant open space, as shown on the proposed
development plans. Approximately 41.15 acres of the site will be left as open
space. The approximate impervious surface area of the site is 7.15 acres or
10.5%.
$. Pxoje�eci tra%��:
This neighborhood is proposed to generate approximately 49G trips per day,
utilizing 8 trips per day average per home. This iraffic can he accommodated by
the existing adjoining public roads.

SAE A.21 COlviMITTEE WIL]L SOON CONSIDER In Thas Issue... �
I M � i, il� 1�
by Vincent E. Mestre, P.E.
(In this special repor•t, Vincent E. Mestre, president of the acoustical consult-
ing fzrm Mestre Greve Associates located in Laguna Niguel, CA, and a member of
the ANR EditoriaZAdvisory Board, discusses a new ��ecommended practice on
aircrait noise monitoring svstems which will soon be considered bv the A21
Aircraft noise monitoring systems are becoming more and more common
because they are integral to assessing noise impact, iracking flight paths, deter-
mining compliance with operational restrictions and flight procedures, and giving
airports credibility in dealing with communities.
Yet there is a dearth of public guidance documents on how such systems should
operate. So users of aircraft noise monitoring systems are left to their own devices
to answer many questions: What should a noise monitoring system include? How
do you locate noise monitoring sites? What kind of data should be collected?
How do you know if the system is working correctly? How do you assess the
quality of the data? What are the best practices for collecting aircraft noise data?
For the first time, answers to these questions, based on a concensus of profes-
sional opinion, will be provided in a recommended practice that is in the final
phases of development by the A21 Aircraft Noise Measurement Committee of the
Society ofAutomotive Engineets (SAE).
This spring, the committee will consider the final draft of Aerospace Recom-
mended Practice 4721, " Monitoring Aircraft Noise and Operations in the Vicinity
of Airports." After the A21 Committee has approved the draft, it will be sent to the
SAE Aerospace Committee for final adoption. The recommended practice will then
be ready for publication and will be available from SAE (http://www.sae.org).
Potential users of such guidance include airport proprietors, airport neighbors,
federal, state and local govemment agencies, equipment vendors, and other public
bodies.
Years in Development
SAE's A21 committee has been working on Recommended Practice 4721 off and
on for many years. It began as an effort to help airports define specifications for
noise monitoring systems and to qnantify the uncertainty associated with short-
term measurement samples, such as how well a one- or two-day measurement of
DNL represents the actual annual DNL at a given location.
That effort grew in scope to address such issues as measuring how well aircraft
noise systems work, working with aircraft position data, system administration,
calibration and equipment certification, data analysis and reporting, and system

The ARP also addresses the addition of aircraft position

improvements in the functionality of the systems. Acquiring
aircraft position data presents unique problems independent
of the noise data collection system.
The ARP provides guidance, but not specific methodolo-
gies, for dealing with incompiete aircraft tracks and smooth-
ing aircraft tracks. The intent here was not to define a
specific methodology but to acknowledge and support the
efforts used to make aircraft position data useable in an
aircraft noise monitoring system.
Guidance Will be in Two Parts
The draft ARP will be considered in 2 parts. The first part
will address such topics as the following:
System Descr'tption — Describes the basic components of
a complete airport noise and operations monitoring system
and gives minimum requirements.
Acoustic instrumentation, aircraft position data, meteoro-
logical data, noise complaint data and time clock issues are
discussed.
A description of the software needed to integrate these
data and compute vazious noise metrics is described.
Guidance is provided on event detection, correlating noise
events with aircraft operations, transm ission of data from
remote sites, and data storage and reporting.
Q
Temporal Sampling -Provides detailed guidance for
making and reporting on aircraft noise measurements made
using attended or unattended portable noise monitors for
short term measurement programs of less than 1 year.
This section will be most helpful in determining if short term
measurements are adequate for drawing conclusions about
the long term noise exposure at any given location.
This section is quite complex and deals with sampling
requirements during different periods of runway use and
associated statistical uncertainty of the data.
Part 2 of Guidance:
Part 2 of the ARP will address the following issues:
Post-Installation Screening Tests - Identifies tests that
may be conducted immediately after a system has been
installed and is operational.
These tests use only data directly from the system and
should efficiently identify any major short-comings, such as
missing significant numbers of operations, missing or
erroneous aircraft noise event data.
These tests may also be run at any time that some major
aspect of the system reported data is in question.

MINETA T�2AVELS TO LAX TO AV6VA1tD -�1z 7'hiS I�SSlIe...
GRANTS FOR SOUND INSULATION, RU7�IVVAY
Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta tra�eled to Los Angeles Feb. 2 to
award Los Angeles International Airport officials a grant of $27 million to help
residential sound insulation efforts and a separate grant of $29.5 million to help
pay to relocate one of the airport's four runways in order to add a taxiway and
reduce runway incursions and delay.
Mineta's trip to LAX follows a unanimous vote by the Los Angeles City
Council on Jan. 18 to scrap a controversial $11 billion modemization plan for LAX,
which had been challenged by cities near the airport on the grounds that its
environmentat impacts had been understated.
The City Council accepted a legal settlement of the lawsuits under which the
airport will develop a new "community sensitive" modernization plan for LAX,
which will provide $266 million over 10 years for residential sound insulation and
will direct increased air traffic to other airports in the Southern California region.
That effort to move air tra�c away from LAX most likely concerns DOT because
the airlines have not supported it and because it could prove very difficult to do

Aithough the Bush Administration has proposed a sharp cut in the level of
funding for the federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) in fiscal 2007, the
aircraft noise and emissions set-aside in the program will actually grow from a level
of$298 million in fisca12006 to $322 million in fisca12007, accordingto theFederal
Aviation Administration.
That $24 million increase in the set-aside, which is one of the main funding
mechanisms for aircraft noise mitigation projects, 9s due to the formula by which
the set-aside is calculated and some recent adjustments to the overall formula by
which AIP funding is calculated. The 2003 FAA reauthorization bill increased the
noise and emissions set-aside from 34 percent of the AIl' discretionary fund to 35
percent.
But the increase in the AII' noise and emissions set-aside may be the only bright
spot in a budget request for FAA that did not meet airports' expectations.
The Airports Council International —North America (ACI-NA) expressed
disappointment that the budget request is recommending a$1 billion cut in
funding for the federal Airport Improvement Program — a drop of more than 25
percent — at a time when record levels of passengers and cargo are moving
through the U.S. aviation system.

The governing board of the Airport Cooperative Research
Program (ACRP) met Jan. 31 and selected the recipients for
24 grants totaling $7.09 million in airport research funds from
more than 400 projects proposed. Among the 24 projects
selected for funding was one on assessing the impacts of
incompatible land uses near airports.
A description of each of the selected projects will be in a
press release ACRP plans to issue this week. While a
summary of the project on incompatible land use was
included in an earlier issue of ANR.(Volume 17, p. 185), it
may have been revised slightly by the ACRP governing
board. That will not be clear until the press release is issued.
But, when submitted, the goal of the project was "to define
incompatible land use and its limits, and to develop a tool
that state and local governments can use to assess the
current and future impacts incompatible land uses will ha�e

ACRP �OMPATIBLE LAND USE STUDY I12 ThiS ISSLce... I
TO FOCUS ON NOISE MORE THA,N SAFETY
T'he governing board of the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)
revised the research statement for a study on land use compatibility around
airports that it will fund this year in order to stress that the focas of the study will
be on noise impact more than safety concerns.

for inclusion in the new reseazch program, which was established by Congress in
2003 in the Vision 100 Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act.
The purpose of the ACRP program is to carry out applied research on problems
shared by airport operating agencies but not adequately addressed by other
federal research programs. The ACRP is sponsored by the Federal Aviation
Adminisiration and managed by the Naiional Academies of Science acting
through the Transportation Research Board (TRB).
The ACRP Oversight Committee, the governing board for the program, met on
Jan. 30 and 31 and selected projects for funding in the fiscal.year 2005/2006
program. The board considered 118 projects in the fields of administration,

Last November, the Department of Defense issued Instruction No. 4715.13
which coordinated the noise programs of all the military services and established
the DoD Noise Working Group (DNWG), which will serve as the lynchpin for
executing the Instruction and a catalyst for advancing the state-of-the-art in azeas
such as noise modeling, noise effects, and public education about aircraft noise.
DoD consolidated the noise programs of its individual military services in an
effort to pool resources and to stretch limited funding but the fruit of this effort
will benefit commercial airports also, according to Alan Zusman, who is chairman
of the DNWG and serves as deputy director of Base Development in the Naval
Facilities Engineering Command. Zusman also acts as program manager of the
Navy's Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) program.
Among other things, the Nov. 15, 2005, Instruction requires the consolidated
DoD noise program to "promote scientifc research and the use of sound scientific
methods and validated noise data as the basis for and the establishment of noise
program guidance" and to "promote the development of initiatives to educate and
train DoD military, civilian, and contractor personnel, and the public on noise
issues."
As part of the unified DoD noise program, each service must take the lead in

proposal which addressed safety.
Deleted from the study agenda were proposals to collect
data on aircraft accident locations in the vicinity of airports
to update past studies and development of a third party risk
analysis for persons in the runway approach areas.
However, the ACRP board retained the following research
tasks:
• Collect and publish data on existing land uses that
are incomp.atible with federal and/or state land use safety
standards for airports, including types of development and
numbers of people congregating in the approaches to
airports;
� Collect and evaluate state compatible land use
legislation, rules, and directives to identify commonality;
• Identify airports where major expansion projects
have been delayed or abandoned due to opposition from
surrounding cornmunities that arose from a failure to have
taken appropriate measures to ensure compatible land uses
around those airports and attempt to quantify the cost of
those delays or the inability to implement the, expansion
plans in relation to the costs that would have been involved
if land use planning were in place; and
• Based on the data collected, produce a land use
compatibility zoning model incorporating land use and third

different areas and the Navy is heading efforts to advance
the art of public education on aircraft noise and military blast
noise. In that regard, the Navy is engaged in a three-part
study of the use of supplemental noise metrics to help the
public better understand noise impacts.
The first step was to find out what people in the field are
saying about the need for supplemental metrics, Zusman
explained. The results of this efFort were a mixed bag, he said.
Some people felt that the standard DNL (Day Night Average
Noise Level) metric, used in environmental analyses, was
hard to understand and others did not.
Step two of the study is being undertaken by Wyle
Laboratories under contract with the Navy. Wyle is analyzing
the pros and cons of various supp]emental noise metrics and
developing guidelines on ways to use them.
But, Zusman said, the final step of the study is the hard
part. That is "to determine the significance of it all. What
does the metric mean? So what if it gives additional informa-
tion on noise."
The Navy is considering conducting a social survey to try
to relate public reaction to noise to various supplemental
noise metrics. In that way, some kind of dose-response
relationship could be developed similar to the Federal
Aviation Administration's use of 65 dB DNL as the point at
which people become "highiy annoyed" to aircraft noise. Of
course, that criteria has come under chailenge because it is

based on the findings of a group of outdated social surveys
that covered noise from not only aircraft but other transpor-
tation sources.
A social survey by the Navy would not be easy to do, said
Zusman. It would need the approval of the O�ce of Man-
agement and Budget, would be very time consuming and
expensive, and would pull from very tight funding.
But he noted that the Federal Interagency Committee on
Aviation Noise (FICAI�, which is comprised of noise
experts from various federal agencies, including DoD,
supports the use of supplemental noise metrics and that the
Navy's work stems from that endorsement.
Zusman said that commercial airports would be able to
apply any guidance on the use of supplemental noise
metrics developed by the DNWG and that other efforts the
committee will undertake also will have application at
commercial airports.

2001 and then took a precipitous plunge to 5,100 in 2002.
They have gradually dropped to below 2,000 over the past
three years.
In other action, the commission said it has launched an
awareness campaign targeted at the Illinois congressional
delegation regarding the sharp reduction in Airport Improve-
ment Program funding proposed in the Bush
Administration's fisca12007 budget request.
The commission also adopted a resolution accepting the
role the Federal Aviation Adrninistration assigned it in the
Record of Approvai for the O'Hare Modernization Plan,
which includes overseeing the residential sound insulation
program, the school sound insulation program, the Fly Quiet
Program, and evaluating changes to the airport noise
monitoring system and other noise issues related to the
expansion of O'Hare. FAA directed the commission to add
some 5,000 additional homes to the sound insulation
program before the modernization of O'Hare is completed.

NOISE COMPLAINT CALLS GO
TC) NON-EMERGENCY C�NTER
The O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission said that it is
looking forward to getting more precise information about
aircraft noise around O'Hare International Airport because
the City of Chicago is now using its non-emergency center
to handle aircraft noise complaints. Callers to the O'Hare
Noise Hotline are automatically routed to the Chicago cail
center.
Acting Chicago Aviation Commissioner Patrick Harney
told the commission at its Feb. 10 meeting that the call
center's operators have been frained to handle aircraft noise
complaints and that live operators will be available to take
those calls on a 24-hour basis.
Previously, a recorded message and a voice mail system
greeted callers during non-business hours. With ]ive
operators now asking the callers specifc questions, the
commission said it expects to obtain more accurate informa-
tion to use in addressing aircraft noise issues.
The commission uses the information collected from noise
complaints to identify specific aircraft that deviate from the
nighttime Ply Quiet Program at O'Hare which is designed to
reduce aircraft noise over residential areas through the use
of preferred departure runways and flight paths, the commis-
sion explained. The airlines are questioned when specific Fly
Quiet deviations are identified.
The commission also reported that noise complaints
phoned in to the O'Hare Noise Hotline in 2005 fell for the
seventh consecutive year, from a high of 25,773 in 1998 to
1,958 in 2005. The commission attributedthe drop in
complaints in ]arge part to the gradual reduction in overall
aircraft noise around the airport, especially since the
retirement of all older and noisier Stage 2 aircraft in 2000.
Noise complaints dropped from 17,652 in 2000 to 13,760 in
UNDER NEW MA.NAG]EMENT
Tulsa International Airport is poised to soon restart its $40
million noise mitigation program under new management
following the airport trustee's decision last August to not
extend its contract with the local firm managing the program,
Cinnabar Service Co. of Tulsa, due to high adminzstrative
costs.
Last October, the trustees approved a$2.1 million, one-
year contract with C&S Companies, Inc. of Syracuse, NY, to
manage the program. C&S is putting together bid packages
for sound insulation of 62 homes, according to JefFHough,
deputy airport director for engineering and facilities.
The goal of the five-year-old program is to reduce noise
levels in 1,672 homes, four schools, and three churches in
the high noise contours of Tulsa Intemational. Property
owners are given the choice of sound insulation, sales
assistance, or avigation easements.
Cinnabar's contract was not extended because the trustees
felt that its administrative costs, an average of $14,000 per
home, were too high. That conclusion was based on a
comparison of the administrative costs incurred by the firm
in sound insulating 492 homes compared to program costs at
other airports. The trustees said that Cinnabar's administra-
tive costs were on the high side of the national average but
acknowledges that some of that increase was due to federal
funding coming in at a slower rate than anticipated and the
airport board's decision to run a more neighbor-friendly and
costly program.
In December 2005, Cinnabar sued the airport board for
$682,317 to recover costs it alleges were incurred during its
tenure managing the noise mitigation program over a 32-
month period. The majority of the claims stem from a nine-
month period just preceding the board's decision to drop the

PFCs Approved for Noise Mitigation
On Feb. 13, the Federal Aviation Administration published its monthly list
of approvals and disapprovals of applications by airports to impose Passen-
ger Facility Charges (PFCs) to support airport projects. Following are PFCs
approved for noise-related projects:
• Port of Portland's application to impose both a$3 and $4.50 PFC
from May 1, 2016, to March l, 2018, for a total estimated PFC revenue of $68.2
million to support various projects at Portland International Airport, including
upgrading the noise system;
• City of Chicago Aviation Deparhnent's application to impose a$4.50
PFC from June 1, 2013, to July 1, 2013, for atotal estimated PFC revenue of
$11.6 million to support various projects at O'Hare Intemationai Airport,

Mather Airport, the designated cargo facility for the Sacramento, CA, airport
system, is the first airport in the country to fully implement during nighttime hours
the Continuous Descent Approach (CDA), a new landing procedure developed
over the past three years that results in reductions in aircraft noise levels of 4-6 dB
in areas 10 to 20 miles from the runway as well as lower aircraft emission levels.
Aithough the CDA was developed at Lousiville International Airport, Mather is
the first to fully implement the procedure at night because it has a much simpler
approach path: between 40-50 rniles from the airport, the planes get set and glide
in, explained Monica Newhouse, noise program manager for the Sacramento
County airport system. The approach procedure at Louisville is more complicated
because it is curving.
UPS is using the CDA at Mather as its standard approach procedure with 757
aircraft, she said. Airborne is using the procedure with it 767 planes.
The CDA also was easy to implement at Mather because there are few night
operations. Airborne has only one nighttime arrival four nights a week and UPS
has only six operations during its busiest night.
The only commercial cargo aircraft coming into Mather at night not using the
CDA is the Airborne DC-9, which has as many as four arrivals on its peak night.

with single runway operations, like Mather, this separation
probably cannot be decreased. At airports with multiple
runways, aircraft could be sequenced to different runways
depending upon their position from the airport. The minimum
spacing between large jets is two minutes and this is
increased to four minutes for large jets landing after heavy

This arrival method keeps the CDA guidelines fairly simple. This simplic-
ity has allowed them to become widely used by our pilots. Thus, today we
are using a published approach at Mather, the ILS RWY 22L, with addi-
tional "guidelines" for our crews to follow. Our crews do identify the fact
that they are using CDA "procedures" to Air Traffic Control because they
are flying slower than they would normally starting at a point 40 miles from
the airport. This also keys the controller to vector the other aircraft out of
our way in the event of a traffic conflict.
UPS Involved in Louisville Test
The new CDA descent procedure was designed to keep planes higher
longer and thus reduce noise impact by taking advantage of the ability of
modern airplane Flight Management Systems to pre-program aircraft flight
trajectories.
Louisville Intemational Airport hosted the first test of the CDA in late
enver 2002. It was conducted by a team from Boeing, the FAA, the Massachu-
Suzanne C. McLean setts Institute of Technology, UPS, and the Regional Airport Authority of
