The proposed facilities shall be owned and privately maintained by the homeowners'
association (HOA). At the time of first submission of the subdivision/site plan, Applicant
shall submit a Water Quality Impact Assessment (WQIA) for review and approval by
DPW. The WQIA shall include a description of the on-going maintenance activities
needed for each type of facility and the proposed maintenance schedule for each. The
HOA or its designee shall submit maintenance reports to DPW according to the timetable
established at the time of subdivision/site plan approval.
16. NOISE ATTENUATION
a. Prior to final site plan approval, Applicant shall retain an acoustical consultant to
prepare a noise assessment based on final site grades and future traffic volumes on Chain
Bridge Road, Route 123, for review and approval by the Zoning Administrator,
b. In order to reduce interior noise to a level of approximately DNL 45 dBA, units
within a highway noise impact zone of DNL 65-70 dBA, as ultimately determined by the
study in Paragraph (a) above, shall be constructed with the following acoustical treatment
measures:
i. Exterior walls shall have a laboratory sound transmission class (STC)
rating of at least 39.
ii. Doors and windows shall have a laboratory STC rating of at least 28
unless windows constitute more than 20% of any facade exposed to noise levels of DNL
65 dBA or above. If glazing constitutes more than 20% of an exposed facade, then the
windows shall have a STC rating of at least 39. However, Applicant may elect to have a
refined acoustical analysis performed to determine minimum STC ratings for exterior
walls, windows, and doors; and the STC rating specifications may be reduced based on
this analysis, as determined appropriate by DPW.
iii. All surfaces shall be sealed and caulked in accordance with methods
approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to minimize sound
transmission.
C. In order to reduce interior noise to a level of approximately DNL 45 dBA, units
within a highway noise impact zone of DNL 70-75 dBA, as determined by the study in
Paragraph (a) above, shall be constructed with the following acoustical treatment
measures:
i. Exterior walls shall have a laboratory sound transmission class (STC)
raring of at least 45.
ii. Doors and windows shall have a laboratory STC rating of at least 37
unless windows constitute more than 20% of any facade exposed to noise levels of DNL
65 dBA or above. If glazing constitutes more than 20% of an exposed facade, then the
windows should have a STC rating of at least 45. However, Applicant may elect to have
a refined acoustical analysis performed to determine minimum STC ratings for exterior
-6-
walls, windows, and doors; and the STC rating specifications may be reduced based on
this analysis, as determined appropriate by DPW.
iii. All surfaces shall be sealed and caulked in accordance with methods
approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to minimize sound
transmission.
d. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict or otherwise limit the use of upper-
level balconies or decks on residential units.
17. FUTURE AMENDMENTS
Individual sections of the Property may be subject to consideration by the Planning
Commission and City Council of an amendment to this applications (including GDP and
proffers) without rejoinder or consent of the owners/residents of other sections, if such
amendment does not significantly affected the other sections, as determined by the
Director of Community Development and Planning. Previously approved proffers
applicable to the sections(s) which are not subject to such an amendment shall otherwise
remain in full force an effect.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
