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 />Commissioner Blank stated he did not have an issue with music going until 10:00 p.m. <br />He indicated that he felt the Downtown should be able to have some amount of night <br />life. <br />Commissioner Pearce advised the Commissioners that she wanted to re-open the <br />public hearing to find out how the Barones felt about the new conditions. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 12, 2009 Page 19 of 23 <br /> <br />
