MEMORANDUM
TO: JOE PERNA
FROM: MEL STEAD %4k
SUBJECT: DIANE DRIVE
DATE: JANUARY 11, 2006
The Town did extensive work here in 1997. Erosion in the channel was
corrected with rip rap and concrete was pumped in and spread to hold it in
place. Chain fink fence was also installed along both sides of the channel. The
fence at the Gerber Town line was bent from debris accumulating along the
lower edge. The debris was removed.
Easements (temporary) were acquired to access the site through the east side of
the house at ##160 Diane Drive.
We also received a call May 13, 2002 about debris along the fence from Mrs.
Dubiel, that debris was removed on May 23, 2002. It appears that the
accumulation of sticks and leaves from private properties (160 and 170 Diane
Drive) are carried by storm water up against the fence. This has an effect on the
fence only as it serves to create an energy dissipater lessening the potential for
erosion and serves to contain silt from the run off.
The fence appears to be a common boundary between two private property
owners that if they wish can remove or they may wish to reset it and cut out the
lower portion to allow the debris to be deposited on the Gerber property.
I will plan to remove the debris in the next few days.

Dear Mr. Gantick:
I greatly appreciate the fine job the Town did last
year repaving Diane Drive. However, the repaving has
caused us a problem. The end of my driveway is now below
the level of the street. Consequently, I had a skating
rink in that location all winter and a pond for most of
the spring.
I notice that in other parts of Town, like Birch Hill
Drive , that this problem was taken care of by the paving
contractor after the roads were repaved. Since I am having
this problem and our neighbors at 345 Diane Drive have the
same problem, we feel that the town must have this condition
corrected. Additionally, I was told by tray Hallowell , of
Planning & Zoning, that the contractor was in fact to correct
these problems at the time of the repaving.
We appreciate the Town' s timely attention to this
problem.
Thank you.
Very truly yours ,
Peter R. Bortolan

Subject: Design Stage Noise Report for the Reconstruction
of Interstate 86 in Manchester-Vernon
Thank you for your letter dated November 27, 1984. Attached, as
requested, is a copy of the Design Stage Noise Report for the subject project.
The Diane Drive neighborhood was given a cursory review at that time and was
not given a detailed analysis as it lies outside the normal range of areas
impacted by traffic noise (600 - 650 feet away from Interstate 86). As
stated in previous correspondence to you, the noise levels in this neighbor-
hood should be typical for a residential area and would not exceed the
federal noise abatement criteria used in determining the need for noise
abatement.
A copy of this material will be forwarded to the Town Manager of
South Windsor. If you should have any further questions concerning this
matter, please contact Mr. James F. Sullivan, Director of Environmental
Planning, at 566-5704.

DESIGN STAGE NOISE REPORT
PROJECT 76-89
RECONSTRUCTION OF I-86
VERNON-MANCHESTER
The noise study made for the subject project consisted of measuring
the existing noise levels and then comparing these levels to the future
predicted levels. Existing noise measurements were made .using a General
Radio 1933 Precision Sound Level Meter (Type 1) and recorded on an Esterline-
Angus MS 401BB Chart Recorder. All noise levels are reported as decibels on
the "A" scale as this scale closely approximates the response of the human
ear to noise.
The future noise levels were determined using the "complete method"
as described in the National . Cooperative Highway Research Program Report #117
"Highway Noise, a Design Guide for Highway Engineers" (NCHRP 117) and Report
#144 "Highway Noise, a Field Evaluation of Traffic Noise Reduction Measures"
(NCHRP 144) . The calculation of the future noise levels was carried out
using a computer program. Both the existing measurements and the future
predictions represent the noise levels exceeded for 50 percent and 10 percent
of the time and are designated L50 and L10 respectively.
The Federal Highway Administration has established design noise
levels for various land uses in their "Procedures for Abatement of Highway
Traffic Noise and Construction Noise" Federal-Aid Highway Program Manual
(FHPM 7-7-3) . These levels are listed in Table 1. The five areas that were
evaluated with regard to noise analysis and the locations of the individual
noise measurements are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The existing- and future
noise levels along with the corresponding land use are listed in Table 2.
ANALYSIS
Areas I and III are expected to experience future noise levels which
exceed the design noise levels established in the Federal-Aid Highway Program
r.
Manual (FHPM 7-7-3) for residential areas. Areas II , IV, and V will not
experience noise levels above the design criteria in the year 2000. A brief
discussion- of each of the five areas which were considered is listed below.
AREA I —RESIDENCES ON BRYAN DRIVE AND BALDWIN ROAD
Twenty-four homes and one undeveloped lot located along the south side
of Bryan Drive in Manchester and north of Interstate 86 presently experience
noise levels in excess of the design Levels. These homes are situated about 225
feet from the nearest existing Interstate 86 travel lane. A noise barrier is
proposed which would begin at STA 663+34WB (abutting Deming Road) and extend east-
ward approximately 4,2501 to STA 705+80 WB. The barrier would range in height
from approximately 11 feet at STA 671+50 to 32 feet at STA 683+00 measured from
the ground elevation at the location of the noise barrier.
AREA II - BUSINESSES ON TOLLAND TURNPIKE
Four commercial properties-an antique shop, Howard Johnson's Restaurant,
and two gasoline stations are located along Tolland Turnpike in Manchester within
200 feet of the I-86 roadway. The future LlO noise level will decrease
from existing levels due to the new vertical alignment of the proposed expressway
and will not exceed the design noise levels of FHPM 7-7-3 for a commercial area
therefore, noise abatement is not required. Noise abatement was previously proposed
for this area however due to this new analysis and the nature of the commercial
activities it is recommended that this noise barrier be eliminated.
AREA III TALCOTTVILLE POND OPEN SPACE
Three houses, a nursery school , and the tract of 4(f) property
bordering Talcottville Pond in Vernon are situated south of Interstate 86
and will experience future noise levels which are above the established design
noise levels. The Section 4(f) land is owned by the State of Connecticut and
managed by the State Department of Environmental Protection. It has been
proposed by the town of Vernon as public open space, reserved for such activities
as fishing, hiking, and sight-seeing. . The proposed Interstate 86 alignment
and flyover ramp to the Vernon Circle shopping area will cause the nearest
travel lane to pass approximately 100 feet from the nearest house and.50
feet from the 4(f) property. In addition, one of the houses on Main Street
is of local historical significance and is registered with the Vernon .
Historical Society.
Noise abatement requires the extension of the previously proposed
barrier to provide proper protection for the affected area. The noise barrier
would begin at STA 730+00 EB and extend eastward over the bridge at Route 30
for approximately 1 ,950' to STA 49+50 EB (flyover ramp). It will be 16 feet
above the proposed grade at the baseline of the flyover ramp.
AREA IV - RESIDENCES ON CAMPBELL AVENUE
Thirteen homes are located on the north side of Campbell Avenue in
Vernon. Noise measurements taken at the closest receptor (see Figure I) show.-
no increase in the noise level for the year 2000. This is due to the proposed
vertical alignment (cut situation). Other residences along Campbell Avenue
are located at a greater distance from proposed Interstate 86 and the noise
levels they would experience are not anticipated to exceed design levels.
Therefore noise abatement is not required. .
AREA V - ROUTE 30 TRAILER COURT
Fourteen families reside at the Route 30 Trailer Court in Vernon just
north of Interstate 86. The future L10 will approach 70 dBA; however, this
area has recently been rezoned from residential to commercial use and the
trailer court will eventually be replaced by commercial property. Therefore
the future noise levels will not exceed design levels established for this
type of land use and noise abatement is not required.
CONSTRUCTION NOISE
Construction noise is expected to cause a short term. impact on these
five areas. In order to limit this impact, a special provision has been developed
and is included in this report as Appendix "A". It is recommended that this
special provision be made a part of the contract for this project.
Additionally it is strongly recommended that the construction of the
recommended noise barriers be the first stage of construction wherever possible.

RE: DIANE DRIVE PETITION REQUESTING. NOISE ABATEMENT BARRIERS
We have received a response from the State D.O.T. to our request
for an investigation based on the recent petition from residents
in the Diane Drive neighborhood.
The State is contending that no noise barriers are warranted in
, this area based on the following reasoning:
1) _ Noise barriers are not effective in reducing sound levels
for areas that are more than 250 feet from the noise source.
(Diane Drive is ±600 feet from the highway in question. )
2) Noise barriers are used to abate noise levels of 70 db. or
greater. (Apparently, the noise level in the Diane Drive
area is around 60 db. )
3) Noise barriers are used only to protect residential neighbor-
hoods. With Gerber Scientific being located adjacent to the
highway, any barriers erected would be abating noise to an
industrial area. The Federal Highway Administration Guide-
lines do not allow .for noise abatement barriers for properties
other than residential adjacent to an inter-state highway.

Dear Mr. Ora:
Enclosed please find a copy of a petition presented to the
Town by the residents of the area of Diane Drive which is
located in the southeast corner of South Windsor.
It is my understanding that this area has been tested previously;
however, the residents indicate that during this past spring and
summer, noise levels have increased significantly.
We are requesting that this area of South Windsor be tested
again to determine if noise barriers are warranted.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Martell :
Subject:.. I-86 South Windsor
This is in response to your recent letter concerning noise in the
Diane Drive neighborhood of South Windsor. During the design of the section
of I-86 adjacent to this neighborhood, a detailed noise impact analysis was
undertaken. Noise readings were taken at various locations , future noise
levels were predicted and where warranted noise barriers were designed and
constructed. No readings were taken specifically in the Diane Drive neighbor-
hood. This was due to the fact that only areas relatively close to an
expressway (e.g. the Bryant Drive neighborhood) can be expected to have noise
levels which exceed the federal noise abatement criterion of an L10 of 70dBA
or more. The Diane Drive area is over 600`from I-86 and would be expected
to have an L10 noise level in the low 60'sdBA, well below the criterion for
abatement.
Even if warranted, abatement for this area, by construction of a noise
barrier, would not be feasible, again due to the extensive distance between the
expressway and the neighborhood and the proximity of Gerber Scientific, an
industrial property.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free
to contact Mr. Edgar Hurle of my staff at 566-4272.

Re: Diane Drive Mini-Park
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Jalet:
As you are aware, the homeowners on Diane Drive requested a facility
on which their children could play, off the street and away from traffic.,
thus the open space area owned by the Town became a mini-park.
Your complaint, as I see it, concerns the children congregating,
running through the back yards, throwing debris on your property and the
mini-bikes and motorcycles running through the open space to the rear of
the mini-park.
At this time, we cannot justify erecting a fence around the boundary.
I have instructed the Park Bureau to place two refuse barrels at this
location to be emptied as needed. I have made the Police Departrre nt aware
of the situation and the existing problem.
I am sure that this action will not completely satisfy and would
like any further input you may have on this matter.
Very truly yours,
TOWN OF SOUTH WINDSOR
