Item #1 CONSIDERATION OF A REVISION TO THE RICHFIELD REDISCOVERED
GUIDELINES TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF A LOT IN AN
AMOUNT EQUAL TO 75 PERCENT OF THE COST OF SOUND ATTENTUATION
MEASURES, UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 7,500, IN CASES WHERE THE LOT IS
LOCATED WITHIN THE 65-69 AND 70-74 DNL ZONES S.R. NO. 31
Acting Executive Director Stark presented Staff Report No. 31. He also discussed the 1996
and 2007 DNL contours and the consent decree with the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
Commissioner Gepner questioned the mandating of reducing the price of a lot and asked
about the practicality of changing the agreement with the Metropolitan Airports Commission since
no Richfield homes are in the 2012 DNL zones.
Tom Fitzhenry, 6737 Park Avenue, Noise Oversight Committee representative, suggested
the HRA proceed with this lot reduction revision and consider renegotiating sound attenuation
measures when the exit pass with the RNAV is completed.
Acting Executive Director Stark suggested the motion include that the revised guidelines be
in effect as long as the consent decree with the Metropolitan Airports Commission dated 2007 is in
place.
M/Sandahl, S/Goettel to approve a revision to the Richfield Rediscovered Guidelines to
allow a reduction in the price of a lot in an amount equal to 75 percent of the cost of sound
attenuation measures, up to a maximum of$7,500, in cases where the lot is located within the
1996 65+ and/or 2007 63-64 DNL contours. The change to the guidelines is in effect as of the date
of the meeting for all properties sold after that date, and any contracts for private development
involving properties that have not been conveyed by that date should be amended to allow for the
reimbursement, giving authority to the Chair and Executive Director to execute the amendments.
