as part of the environmental review, a noise study was prepared by charles salter associate that is attachment a to the planning department appeal response. to quantify noise generated by the proposed play field, the noise study measured noise levels from 15 to 20 seventh grade children playing on an existing play field with synthetic turf material like that proposed for the project. using these measured noise levels, the study estimates that 20 to 30 children on the play field would increase sound levels at the third floor light well of the adjacent building by one to four decibels above the current level. a three decibel increase is barely per september able to people and it represents a doubling of the existing noise level. one to four increase in noise associated with the proposed play field would therefore not be a substantial increase in noise and would not be a doubling of the existing noise. the proposed project would include 20-foot tall wood screens attached to a fence extending to the second floor of the light wells. they regulate noise from mechanical equipment, music to five decib

they have worked with charles salter to draft a noise abatement plan and install a high fidelity sound system. they will continue to have d.j.s have play and occasionally host dance events. eight letters of support. northern station approves this permit with no added conditions. and here to tell you more are owners chuck and tom. >> hello. i'm chuck. >> i'm tom. hi. >> i think it was nearly a year ago or around a year ago that we were in here last to apply for the limited live performance permit. we opened phonobar with the hope of trying to create a new type of music venue where music can be enjoyed seated, eat food, drink cocktail, and listen to music at a volume level which still allows you to talk, but more more importantly, a fidelity level unrivalled in the city. over the course of the last year, we built a community around the space in the neighborhood. and the music and the music industry in general. we have had d.j.s play from all over the world, from the ukraine all the way to japan. and in terms of what we're looking for and what we're trying to do in addition by applying fo

francisco recreation and parks department and outside lands coretain acoustic will engineering firm charles salter associates to consult on the installation and operation of the sound system at each event. i also request that the recreation and park commission take notice of the memorandum prepared by wilson acoustics noise and vibration dated january 11, 2018, and the memo sharon meadows prepared january 3, 2019. >> thank you. >> clerk: thank you. steven? >> just going to leave that up. >> hi. my name is steve summerstein. i live in the richmond district. i thank dana for her effort to update the audio monitoring, but at this point, it has been woefully insufficient. many reports have been given of people being bothered by noise. the old standard of several hundred feet have been thrown out the door, and outside lands can make their noise any way they want with no requirements preventing them. there should be standards, and they should be electronically monitored professionally. at present, outside lands has no prohibition or quantitative standards whatever. this is not acceptable in any city in
