2. Establish mitigation areas based on neighborhoods

3. Voluntary acquisition of mobile home parks in the 65+ DNL

4. Sound insulation and avigation easement

5. Purchase Assurance/Sales Assistance

Mitigation Principles

3

FAA’s ROD (December 2008) approved and will fund the following 5 Noise Mitigation Principles as appropriate to address incompatible land uses within the 2020 65+DNL noise contour.

1. Apply long term/ultimate contour for mitigation measures in eligible neighborhoods.

o 2020 B1b – Commission Principle #1

2. Mitigation areas may extend beyond the 65 DNL noise contour to allow neighborhood cohesion and to follow natural geographic boundaries, street patterns, and contiguous neighborhood boundaries.

o Commission Principle #2

FAA Record of Decision (ROD)

What is the Noise Mitigation Plan?

It is Broward County’s plan for achieving land use

compatibility for areas located within the Federal

Aviation Administration approved noise impact

areas established in the Record of Decision (ROD)

for the Expansion of Runway 9R/27L.

Why Do We Need a Plan?

The ROD for the Expansion of Runway 9R/27L states

mitigation will be provided to those residential

properties where there is an anticipated increased

in noise.

Installation of acoustical treatments designed to reduce aircraft noise levels to a home’s interior. Individual upgrades

may include windows, doors and ventilation systems. In accordance with County Commission policy to provide

neighborhood cohesion, it is recommended that all 1,706 units be eligible for sound insulation without requiring an

avigation easement. There is no monetary cost to the individual property owners for sound insulation. Property owners

may incur fees to review the Homeowner Participation Agreement, replacement of window coverings or the cost

associated with the repair of code violations identified during the design process.

Estimated Cost: $116 million1

Single Family Home: $81,250

Multi-Family Home: $43,750

Schedule: Implementation begins 2011; Estimated completion date 20202

65+ DNL Area: 961 Units (2011 – 2014)Estimated 400 homes per year

Adjacent neighborhoods: 745 Units (2015 – 2020)2

If a homeowner located within the 65+ DNL contour wishes to sell their property and relocate, the County will assist them

with the sale of their property on the open real estate market for Fair Market Value (FMV). The FAA requires that an

avigation easement be given in exchange for participation in this program. BCAD is challenging the FAA regarding the

requirement of the easement.

A recent market absorption study for the noise impacted area shows a maximum of 22 properties per year could be sold

through this type of program to avoid market saturation. In accordance with County Commission policy to provide noise

mitigation in excess of the minimum federal standards, BCAD recommends implementation of this program.

Estimated Cost: $56 million2

Schedule: Implementation begins 2011; End date determined by market absorption rate

Maximum of 22 properties per year are eligible based on market absorption rate (March 2010)

Rate

Recommended

1. Homeowner enters Sales Assistance Program by signing an agreement with Broward

County which includes: Requiring Homeowner to list property at FMV

The County will provide a differential to assist in the sale of the property if seller receives an

offer of less than FMV

Homeowner agrees to participate in Sound Insulation Program

2. The County orders appraisal of the property to determine FMV. The appraisal will be

conducted according to guidelines contained in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and

Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, as amended

3. Homeowner lists property for sale on the open real estate market at FMV

4. Homeowner receives an offer to purchase the property: The County will pay closing costs

The County will also provide a sales differential of the difference between the FMV and the

sales price, if the owner sells for less than FMV.

Homeowner conveys avigation easement to County

Advantages:

Allows Homeowners to relocate outside of Noise Impact Area

Maintains neighborhood stability

Voluntary Sales Assistance Process for Assisting in the Sale of a Home

Sales Assistance Recommended Because…

Maintains the City of Dania Beach’s ad valorem tax base by keeping ownership

with individuals instead of County ownership

Stabilizes existing community by avoiding vacant properties

Maintains property values by not saturating the housing market

Maintains property values by seeking market value on the sale of the property

Allows homeowners to receive benefits of sound insulation until property can be sold

Avoids lengthy and costly property management and maintenance fees

Market Absorption Rate Study

A market absorption study was conducted of the

Noise Impact Area to determine the rate at which

noise impacted properties located in the 65+ DNL

noise contour can be expected to sell on the open

market. This study determined that a maximum of 22

properties per year could be sold and not affect

market conditions.

The Noise Impact Area is comprised of three distinct

neighborhoods which contain 571 single-family homes

and 286 duplex units.
