~ ~ <br />known. The proposed buildings would be located at distances as close as approximately 150 feet <br />from nearby receptors. HVAC noise could be audible at the nearest receptors because of their <br />proximity. While HVAC noise could be masked by existing background noise levels, a <br />mitigation measure related to this noise source is recommended to mitigate potential nighttime <br />impacts. The proposed trash compactor would be located approximately 100 feet from existing <br />apartments at 1132 Carpentier Street and, depending on the frequency of operation, could <br />become a nuisance noise source. <br />Pharmacy Drive-Through Window <br />A drive-up window that could operate 24-hours a day is proposed for the east side of the <br />pharmacy. Use of sound amplification equipment is not proposed in connection with the <br />pharmacy drive-through window (Irmer, 1997). However, noise would be generated by queuing <br />of vehicles at the pharmacy drive-through window which could potentially affect the noise <br />environment at the multi-story apartment building on Carpentier Street, primarily during <br />nighttime hours when background noise levels are less. Noise from vehicle queuing could <br />substantially affect noise levels and result in a significant effect depending upon the existing <br />ambient noise levels during the time period affected, the shielding provided by building design, <br />and even, meteorological conditions. <br />Depending upon the hours of operation of the drive-through window, noise impacts could have a <br />significant impact on the noise environment of nearby sensitive receptors, particularly given its <br />proposed location on the east side of the building. <br />Grocery Store Loading Bax <br />Delivery trucks would access the proposed grocery store via the northern site access and back <br />into the loading bay on the north side of the project site, approximately 150 feet from the nearest <br />residences on Lille Street and Pershing Drive. The loading platform would drop in elevation to 6 <br />feet below grade. A concrete block sound wall atop a vegetated earthen berm would be provided <br />as a part of the proposed project. Typically there could be as many as 20 to 25 deliveries per day <br />(Tolley, 1997). These deliveries would primarily occur between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 <br />a.m. However night shipments could be allowed for night stocking. Nighttime deliveries would <br />occur between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. <br />7 <br />~~~ <br />
