willing to condition it and I think it's enforceable. I do, so that's why I think I can go that route, but in the interest of doing it, that's what I'm thinking. Commissioner Allen: So the thing I'd add is Mason only and then a number of times because a number of times is more enforceable. Like if we said a maximum of one per month if we wanted to start off conservative or something like that. Commissioner Nagler: Are you talking about the backyard? Commissioner Allen: The backyard. I'm talking about the Mason's use of the backyard. Commissioner Balch: Are you preserving that it's a buffer zone still? I ask because it seems to be exclusive to me. Commissioner Nagler: Well, that's why I'm confused when you say it's a buffer zone. Is it still a buffer zone if we allow up to 10 people in the backyard? Commissioner Balch: I wasn't in that majority so I'm not going to argue your case. Commissioner Allen: And that's where I was. I was that it was still a buffer zone with 10 people that are Masons in the backyard if I was making up once per month that I'd say they should have a right to have 10 people in the backyard for lunch and not at 9PM. Commissioner Nagler: May I respond? To use your analogy which I think is an excellent one because the Millers and others are arguing that we're in a neighborhood and therefore it ought to be considered as if it was another neighborhood property, we wouldn't think to say, resident 'x', you can only use your backyard once a month. So if for example we say there could be no more than 5 people in the backyard at any one time, then it sort of doesn't matter how often they are back there. Commissioner Allen: I get your point. Commissioner Balch: So to Commissioner O'Connor's point, if you're a strict prohibition of a backyard, you've solved a lot of problems. Commissioner Allen: You have. Commissioner O'Connor: You've solved almost every problem because I don't even think you have to have a conversation over Mason function and something commercial going on if no one's using the backyard. They did commercial before and there was no problem. Commissioner Balch: Could I suggest a possible out? Could we do that but allow an exception at the Director of Community Development? So for example, if the Masons wanted to have a Mason event that staff felt was appropriate, they could petition for it and it doesn't have to be a CUP amendment.
