the right -of -way, and an outdoor activity area is only possible in the side yard area. This area receives full street exposure from Bristol and First Streets since it is separated from First Street by a vacant lot. The site was located 60 feet from the First Street right -of -way. The intersection has a phased signal and traffic queue in front of this residence. Measurement Site 8 was selected in the front yard of a single- family dwelling on the southeast corner of Bristol Street at Raymar Avenue. The measurement was taken 11 feet from the Bristol Street right -of -way adjacent to a front porch. This residence is similar to eleven other houses in the project vicinity. Measurement Site 9 was taken in the rear yard of a comer house at Richland Avenue and Bristol Street. The site was located at an outdoor activity area on the patio in the rear yard which lies adjacent to Bristol Street. The site was 30 feet from the Bristol Street right -of -way and five feet from the rear entrance. The rear yard is separated from the roadway by a five -foot high block wall. This noise level measurement was assumed to be representative of sound levels in the vicinity that are currently attenuated by a five -foot block wall. Measurement Site 10 was selected at the Mater Dei High School track field which lies adjacent to Bristol Street, just south of Edinger Avenue. The track is raised 3.5 feet above grade and lies seven feet from the right -of -way. The measurement was taken when this field was in use to reflect the greatest noise impact on sensitive receptors. The measurement site was located at the edge of the track and separated from the roadway by a chain link fence. A bus stop on Bristol Street, located directly in front of this track /field, will contribute to the ambient noise level at this site. Measurement Site 11 was selected at the Jose Andres Sepulveda Elementary School on the west side of Bristol Street opposite Mater Dei High School. The site was at a playground for younger children, situated between a chain Link fence at the right -of -way and the school media center. The measurement was taken 16 feet from the right -of- way. The media center, the closest building to the roadway, is situated 62 feet from the right -of -way. Current plans include the relocation of this playground as a safety precaution (to increase the distance to Bristol Street). Measurement Sites 12 and 12A are located at an SFD on the northeast comer of Bristol Street at St. Gertrude Place. Site 12 was taken in the front yard 18 feet from the Bristol Street right -of -way. There is a stop sign on St. Gertrude Place in front of this site where vehicles queue during the peak hour. Site 12A was situated in the rear yard at an exterior living area, 30 feet from the right -of -way. The yard is enclosed with a 5.5 foot wooden fence that provides some noise attenuation. 75C -16'44
