on Lodge activities so no activities similar to the "Naughty or Nice" event held a few <br />months ago takes place until the matter returns to the Commission. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired whether or not the City could legally do this for an item <br />that has been continued and has not yet been heard. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that the Commission can request but not direct staff to do things. <br />Chair Pearce suggested that staff contact the property owners to obtain their consensus <br />regarding the requests. <br />Commissioner Fox stated that since the project is zoned as a CUP for private, <br />non - commercial lodges and halls, any activity that includes commercial sales of tickets <br />on the Internet would be grounds for revocation. She concluded that it would, therefore, <br />be better for staff to clarify rules that classify businesses as commercial versus non- <br />commercial. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that he did not disagree with Commissioner Fox but that he <br />had a problem with the process, stating that the purpose of the hearing was to consider <br />revoking the CUP. He added that he did not know if the Commission should place a <br />moratorium on the business or otherwise revoke the CUP, as there was supposed to be <br />a hearing tonight. <br />Commissioner Fox agreed with Commissioner Narum's assessment that a noise study <br />is necessary but did not believe a way to test this was by having another event. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that the noise consultant would most likely require another <br />event there to get an accurate reading of the noise and how it bounces around off of the <br />buildings and fences. She noted that she would not want to make a decision based on <br />a simulated noise study. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired if staff contacted the Police Department to determine <br />whether or not complaints had been received. Ms. Decker said yes and added that this <br />information was included in the materials. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that her preference would be for an independent <br />consultant to conduct the noise study, assuming that the Lodge agrees to do this. She <br />noted that the study would affect how the Commission thinks about the north side of the <br />property and what mitigations would be included in the use permit that the Commission <br />finally approves. <br />Commissioner Olson voiced his support for continuance of the item. <br />Chair Pearce stated that the Commission would open the public hearing, receive <br />comments, and continue the item as an open hearing to the next appropriate <br />Commission date. <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 25, 2009 Page 2 of 7 <br />
