Mr. Dias further continued bis opposition to the development and the noise il will creste in bis neighbourhood. Access to the development is plsnned through a community road 10 be build off Cbilds Drive. "Frankly, I don't know how much of a buffer you can put in between where my property is and wbere a roadway is (proposed). The only buffer I see right now is a 10-foot fence that will bounce the noise right into my bouse," Mr. Dias said. A buffer zone proposed between the new development and tIhe existng residential area are included in thse plan, Mr. lovio explained, but alibhis point the buffer is pssrely visual. "TMe landscaping won't do anything for you (in ternis of noise) On thse olher hand, tlùs is a very low-speed private laneway, so thse noise expeetation would be lower than a municipal street." A tecbnical staff report on thse proposai is expeeled next month, at whicb lime Milton council will address the plan. s,?iïÎew Better hearing can-1 improve your approach to lîfe Improve your hearing.
