Attachment #6—The Millers' Requests (See PowerPoint Presentation for additional details) \. Enforce the 1977 CUP, Staff Report and Design Review • The 1977 CUP, Staff Report and Design Review are to be enforced by the City so that: (1) "all" noise is contained within the building, (2) events are focused on the south side—the opposite side of the building away from the neighbors, and (3) no activity occurs in the buffer (the backyard area) on the north and west sides so that a shield is created against noise nuisances. ±3. Replace the glass French doors with STC rated doors • The 1977 design review also stipulated that the building be designed with no openings [doors] facing the neighbors. When the Masons broke through the wall . and added glass French doors, the new doors were not STC (sound transmission class) rated, and hence the Millers can now hear, in their home, the music being played in the banquet room. Therefore, these doors need to be replaced with solid doors or STC rated doors. Another possibility that Millers may consider is, if these doors are not replaced, then music (live or recorded) needs to be restricted to the lodge room and not the banquet room. Create a conditional use permit for the catering company • The only documentation granting the Masons a catering company is a fetter sent by City Planner Jenny Soo instead of a conditional use permit. The catering company also is a noise nuisance because it operates at all hours of the night. The Millers hear loud clanging, voices, music being played by workers, etc. • A conditional use permit needs to be created so that conditions can be created for the use of the catering company, e.g., the back door must remain closed during operational hours to keep all noise within the building, the catering company cannot violate the buffer and create a noise, light or odor nuisance, etc. outside the building As good neighbors, the Millers are willing to allow the catering company and commercial banquet facility to operate if the above stipulations are implemented. • The Millers do not object to commercial activity as long as "all" noise and activity is kept within the building, as stated in the original 1977 staff report. • The Millers feel that they are being good neighbors by acting with the same intent as the 1977 Planning Commission in trying to find a solution for everyone. Even though a catering company and a commercial banquet facility are not allowed in residential areas, the Millers' peace and tranquility of their home was preserved under the original 1977 conditions until 2006 when the 1977 conditions were violated. Please keep in mind that the Masons have had the privilege of renting the banquet room (excluding the outdoor area) since their inception in 1977. If the original 1977 stipulations are not implemented, then the Millers are requesting that the catering company be removed and the banquet facility cease operations to stop the noise nuisance.
