Shaffer, the Project Manager, Ms. feke, Director of Prograinming & Planning, Mr. Emling, the Architect for Bowen & Associate, Mr. Cleinmer, Environmental Assessor and Mr. DePetro, the Civil Engineer were present to review the proposal. Ms. Feke reviewed that the board should have received a traffic report, environmental report that includes a noise and air quality. The reports show that there will be no impact on the traffic, air quality, environment and a decrease in sound since a noise wall will be constructed. Mr. Emling indicated that RTA has been working with the city to construct a I'ark and Ride. The proposal will sit just south of I-480 and does not interfere with the Kennedy ridge road. There will be a sound wall along the eastern and southeastern edges, the wall will block sound, light and air pollutants. The parking lot will hold 310-cars, the peak times will be early morning and early evening. There will be a 20 x 20 square foot waiting area, which will include a layover room for drivers as well as restrooms. The building will be 900 square feet the exterior will be traditional and fit into the area. The exterior materials will be Urick and tempered glass. The glass will be clear for safety purposes as well as visual ability. The roof will be a standing single seam copper roof which will turn green over time. There will also be accent painting and fixed benches. The site will have 1 S-foot high pole lights with cut- offs and there will be zero readings behind the walls and only foot light at ground level. Three (3) foot landscaped mounds with 6-foot sound walls atop of that will equal a 9-foot buffer. The sound walls are constructed with fiberglass, and will look like stacked wood from a distance. The interior of the walls are filled with shredded tires, which bounces sound off them.
