hands and try to manage the issues that we have. So we're here to turn around and say <br />the Masons are trying to be good neighbors. Thanks for your time. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: I have one question. You had mentioned that you had tried to <br />negotiate in the past with the Millers, but couldn't come to an agreement. <br />Salazar: Correct. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: In any of your proposals, whatever the other items were, did <br />you ever at any time agree not to use the outside buffer zone area between the building <br />and the back fence? <br />Salazar: In our agreements we turned around and that's why we were talking about <br />let's do it only a couple of times during the month that we would actually rent it, and <br />that's how we came up with —I forget what the number was —that we had turned around <br />and proposed. We said during six or seven months, we'll do about eight events. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: But at no point did you say you would cease to use that area? <br />Salazar: It doesn't seem fair for us not to use that facility, that's correct, and that's <br />because, again we use it, our kids use it, so you know, it didn't seem fair for us not to be <br />able to use that. Any other questions? <br />Commissioner Balch: So could you maybe elaborate, for prior to 2008, let's call it 1980 <br />to 2005, how did you use that area, that buffer zone differently than using it <br />subsequent? <br />Salazar: Well, in 2006 was when we actually put the door in there, so prior to then <br />you're asking? <br />Commissioner Balch: Yes. <br />Salazar: Again, we used it for where we would put a dunk tank out there and do BBQs. <br />One of our members has one of those BBQ things that you pull it and drop, and put it <br />back there and BBQ hot dogs and hamburgers for all of our members. <br />Commissioner Balch: So I want to ask maybe for confirmation, it sounds like that's a <br />Mason event versus it sounded like now you have talked about non -Mason rental <br />events. <br />Salazar: Right. That was strictly the Masons. <br />Commissioner Balch: So that's a significant change you would agree with, correct, since <br />approximately that point in time? <br />Salazar: Yes, because no one would rent the backyard back there, correct. <br />Commissioner Balch: Thank you. <br />EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2016 Page 20 of 52 <br />
