INTRODUCTION At the request of Royal Premier Homes, Development Engineering (London) Limited (DevEng) has undertaken the following noise assessment of a proposed 42 unit residential development to be constructed at 307 Fanshawe Park Road East in London, Ontario. The City of London has indicated that a noise study will be required to determine the effects of vehicular traffic from Fanshawe Park Road East on the proposed development. This report has been prepared to address that condition. The purpose of this report will be, therefore, to assess noise levels resulting from road traffic on Fanshawe Park Road East, and offer recommendations for their mitigation, if required.

NOISE STUDY PARAMETERS The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has created explicit criteria regarding what levels of noise are acceptable within residential developments, and what measures are to be taken, should these criteria be exceeded. These guidelines, as outlined in the Environmental Noise Guideline: Stationary and Transportation Sources – Approval and Planning (Publication NPC-300), are as follows: - Maximum outdoor noise level - 55 dbA as measured in the Outdoor Living area between the hours

of 0700 and 2300 (7:00 am and 11:00 pm); - When this criterion is met, no abatement measures are required; - If the outdoor noise level is greater than 55 dbA and less than 60 dbA, physical control measures

may be applied to reduce the sound level to 55 dbA. If no physical measures are provided, the prospective purchasers or tenants must be made aware of potential problems through a suitable noise warning clause;

- When this criterion is exceeded by 5 dbA or more, future tenants must be made aware of potential problems through a suitable noise warning clause, and physical abatement measures are required;

- Maximum indoor road noise level: • 45 dbA as measured at the plane of the open living room window at all times

throughout the day and at the pane of the open bedroom window between the hours of 0700 and 2300 (7:00 am and 11:00 pm, day-time); and/or,

• 40 dbA as measured at the plane of the open bedroom window between the hours of 2300 and 0700 (11:00 pm and 7:00 am, night-time).

- When the above criteria are met, no abatement measures are required; - When the above criteria is exceeded by 1 to 10 dbA, it is required to design the dwelling with a

provision for future installation of central air conditioning. This requirement usually implies forced air heating with the ducts sized for central air conditioning. Future tenants must also be made aware of potential road noise through a suitable warning clause; and,

- When the above criteria is exceeded by more than 10 dbA installation of central air conditioning is mandatory, and exterior building components must be specified.

Noise levels are to be predicted through the use of the MECP’s model, "Stamson, 5.0", utilizing road traffic data as supplied by the City of London transportation division.

NOISE SOURCES

3.1 ROAD TRAFFIC DATA Road traffic frequencies are summarized below in Table 1. The average annual daily traffic (AADT) for Fanshawe Park Road East is 54,000 vehicles/day with 5% heavy truck traffic and a 90/10 day/night split, as obtained from the City of London. The figures represent the average annual daily road volumes based on the City of London Master Transportation Study. Correspondence with the City of London is included in Appendix A. Table 1- Road Traffic Data

Night-Time (2300-0700) 5,130 270 60

NOISE LEVEL PREDICTIONS Utilizing the MECP’s noise prediction model, the projected noise levels for the site were calculated for two sample times during the daylight hours of 0700 to 2300 (7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.) and the night time hours of 2300-0700 (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). A `barrier free' situation was assumed for all calculations due to the existing topography. For all calculations the intervening topography and the distance to the noise source were considered as the only other impediments to noise transmission. In addition, the following assumptions were made: - The proposed units will have setbacks as per the attached noise study figure (see Figure 1); - The units are assumed to be three (3) and two (2) storeys for Block ‘A’ and Block ‘B’ respectively; - Indoor daytime and night-time receiver elevations are as identified on Figure 1; and, - Outdoor daytime receiver elevation was assumed to be 1.5 m and is located at the allocated common outdoor living area (OLA).

*Note – The indoor noise levels presented in Table 2 reflect the STAMSON model data at the building face less 10 dBA to reflect reductions caused by a typical wall assembly constructed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code (OBC). See Appendix A for a complete set of noise level calculations.

ATTENUATION RECOMMENDATIONS & SUMMARY

5.1 INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS As per Table 2, indoor noise level exceeds the MECP criteria across the site. For the units whose maximum predicted noise levels exceed these guidelines by more than 10 dbA, the installation of central air conditioning will be mandatory. In addition, the provision to notify the potential tenant with the appropriate warning clause is required. Installation of central air conditioning and the following warning clause should be applied to all units in Block A. The warning clause will be included in all agreements of purchase and sale or lease of these dwellings. "This dwelling unit has been supplied with a central air conditioning system which will allow windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor sound levels are within the sound level limits of the Municipality and the Ministry of the Environment. (Note: The location and installation of the air conditioning device should be done so as to minimize the noise impacts and comply with criteria of MECP Publication NPC-216, Residential Air Conditioning Devices.)" It should be noted that although those units without an exterior wall exposed to Fanshawe Park Road East may experience lower noise levels, it is recommended the installation of central air conditioning be required for all units within Block A. For those units whose maximum predicted indoor noise level exceed the guidelines by 1-10 dBA, an appropriate warning clause should be applied. In addition, provisions must be made for the future installation of central air conditioning. This can be achieved through providing a forced air heating system adequately sized to allow such an installation thus enabling occupants the ability to close their windows should they find noise levels too much of a nuisance.


Page 4 of 5

It is recommended the following warning clause should be applied and provisions for central air conditioning be provided to the 6 units on the north side of Block B closest to Fanshawe Park Road East. The following warning clause will be included in all agreements of purchase and sale or lease of these dwellings: "This building has been designed with the provision for adding central air conditioning at the occupant’s discretion. Installation of central air conditioning by the occupant in low and medium density developments will allow windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor sound levels are within the sound level limits of the Municipality and the Ministry of Environment. (Note: The location and installation of the outdoor air conditioning device should be done so as to minimize the noise impacts and comply with criteria of MECP Publication NPC-216, Residential Air Conditioning Devices.)" Refer to Figure 1 in Appendix A for a visual representation of the units requiring noise warning clauses.

5.2 BUILDING COMPONENTS For all units with a night time sound level that exceeds 60 dBA outside the bedroom window or day time sound level that exceeds 65 dB outside the living room window, building components including windows, walls and doors must be designed so that the indoor sound levels comply with the noise criteria outlined by the MECP. Noise reduction building components will be required for all units in Block A. For these units a EW5 construction rating from foundation to rafters should be utilized along with the installation of glazed windows for all building faces that have exposure to Fanshawe Park Road East (north, east, and west facades). EW5 construction is an exterior wall composed of 12.7mm gypsum board, vapour barrier and 38x89 studs with 50mm (or thicker) mineral wool or glass fibre batts in inter-stud cavities plus sheathing, 25mm air space and 100mm brick veneer. For alternate EW5 construction methods refer to Section 8 of the Supplemental Guidelines of the Ontario Building Code for applicable STC ratings for various construction methodology.

5.3 EXTERIOR NOISE LEVELS The outdoor noise levels, as presented in Table 2, are in excess of MECP guidelines and will therefore require additional mitigation measures. For those units whose maximum predicted noise levels exceeds these guidelines by 1-5 dbA, the provision to notify the potential tenant with the appropriate warning clause is required. The following warning clause should be applied to all units in Block A and Block B. This warning clause will be included in all agreements of purchase and sale or lease of these dwellings. "Purchasers/tenants are advised that sound levels due to increasing road traffic may occasionally interfere with some activities of the dwelling occupants as the sound levels exceed the sound level limits of the Municipality and the Ministry of Environment." A wording similar to the following should also be included in all agreements of purchase of sale or lease of the buildings: “The City of London assumes no responsibility for noise issues which may arise from the existing or increased traffic on Fanshawe Park Road East as it relates to the interior or outdoor living areas of any dwelling within the development. The City of London will not be responsible for constructing any form of noise mitigation for this development.”
