DRAFT <br /> Commissioner Narum stated that she believed the day before Thanksgiving was for <br /> family time and that it was unreasonable to allow them to stay open until 1:00 a.m. She <br /> asked that "the Wednesday before Thanksgiving" be stricken from Condition No. 2 and <br /> allow them to be open until 10:00 p.m. <br /> Commissioner Pentin inquired why staff had listed dates. <br /> Mr. Otto replied that this was the same as the condition for Redcoats. <br /> Chair Pearce stated that she was not inclined to change it if Redcoats has the same <br /> condition. <br /> Commissioner Blank agreed. <br /> Chair Pearce asked Commissioner Blank to explain why he is proposing going from <br /> seven days to six days a week even though the applicants have indicated they were not <br /> inclined to open seven days a week but just wanted the flexibility. She noted that this <br /> would restrict them should they could have four bookings one week and then seven <br /> requests the next. <br /> Commissioner Blank replied that he was trying to arrive at a compromise as the <br /> Barone's indicated they had no intention of having events seven days a week. He <br /> added that he hopes the Barones run into that situation a lot because that would be <br /> good for business. He encouraged them to return to the Commission if that does <br /> happen. <br /> Commissioner Pentin proposed that the Commission condition that the Director of <br /> Community Development be able to make the change from six to seven days if the <br /> business becomes successful. <br /> Commissioner Narum stated that she would normally be fine with that, but that given all <br /> of the speakers and emails and in fairness to the public, she believes it should be a <br /> noticed meeting for the residents' benefit. <br /> Chair Pearce asked Commissioner Blank if he wanted to give residents one night of <br /> non amplified music as a compromise. <br /> Commissioner Blank replied that he wanted to limit the number of days, and six was a <br /> compromise between the seven the Barones wanted and Commissioner Narum's <br /> proposed five. <br /> Commissioner Narum stated that it was reasonable to allow the neighbors at lease one <br /> night with no music. <br /> Chair Pearce advised the Barones that they can return for a modification of the CUP if <br /> they later wanted seven days. <br /> DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 8/12/2009 Page 16 of 17 <br />
