TMC 18.58.070 (10) limits the square footage of the equipment enclosure to 360 square feet per provider. The current enclosure exceeds the 360 square foot limitation and thus is non- conforming.

Perkins Ms. Jennifer Sheckler Pacific Telecom Services, LLC 568 First Avenue South, Suite 650 Seattle, WA 98104 Re: Acoustical Report — Sprint Nextel WA0234 Quasimoto Site: 545 Andover Park West, Tukwila, WA 98188 Dear Jennifer, This report presents a noise survey performed in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Sprint Nextel telecommunications facility at 545 Andover Park West in Tukwila, Washington. This noise survey extends from the proposed equipment to the nearest properties. The purpose of this report is to document the existing conditions and the impacts of the acoustical changes due to the proposed equipment. This report contains data on the existing and predicted noise environments, impact criteria and an evaluation of the predicted sound levels as they relate to the criteria. Ambient Conditions Existing sound levels were measured on site with a Larson -Davis 820 sound level meter on August 30, 2007 to determine ambient sound levels. Measurements were conducted as close to the proposed location as possible and the property lines in accordance with the State of Washington code for Maximum Environmental Noise Levels WAC 173 -60 -020. The average ambient noise level was 61 dBA, due to the existing equipment shelter. The weather during the measurements was overcast and the roads were dry. Code Requirements The site is located within the City of Tukwila Zoning jurisdiction on property within a TUC (Tukwila Urban Center) district. Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 8.22.020 Definitions defines TUC as a "Commercial District ". The receiving properties are all within the same commercial district. The proposed new equipment consists of an emergency generator. The generator will run once a week during daytime hours for maintenance and testing purposes only. Under Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 8.22.040 noise from equipment on a within a Commercial district is limited as follows: Commercial District Receiver: Noise is limited to 60 dBA 24 hours a day. Additionally, Tukwila Municipal Code 8.22.050 allows that during any one -hour period, the maximum permissible noise level may be exceeded by 5 dBA for a 15 minute period. 222 Etruria Street, Ste 100 Seattle, Washington 98109 t. 206.839.0819 f. 206.839.0824 Line Application Factor west 1 Combined Sound Pressure Level at 23 ft.

The generator is exempt during emergency operation. Predicted Equipment Sound Levels Emergency Equipment The proposed equipment includes one MQ Power 40 kW Diesel Generator with enclosure and a fuel tank mounted on a concrete pad. The enclosure for the generator is pre - painted aluminum. According to data obtained from the manufacturer, the generator will produce a sound level of 64 dBA at 23 feet. The nearest receiving property is 18 feet west of the equipment location. The predicted sound level at the nearest property is shown below in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, the combined sound pressure level from the proposed equipment cabinets at the nearest receiving property is 56 dBA which meets the 65 dBA 15- minute noise code limit.
