enforcing the noise ordinance though. There have been other issues and other tactics that we had taken to address the problems. Commissioner O'Connor: We can move on. I just know personally in my neighborhood there was a party shut down because the noise was so loud that they did show up —a different code enforcement officer, but they did close it down. I don't want to beat this to death. Beaudin: The difference is, there's code enforcement and there's police response. Our code enforcement officer is not responding to disturbing the peace calls. There's a possibility that if he was on a shift and a call like that came in that he may ask for some support, but there's the difference between being out there with a noise meter and determining a violation and people creating a nuisance in the neighborhood. Typically, there's a fork in the road there for who responds and how you respond. Commissioner O'Connor: Code enforcement would not want to respond 10 o'clock at night. Beaudin: Correct, exactly. He's at home with his family at that point in time. Commissioner O'Connor: Okay, and limited too. Commissioner Allen: I have a simple question. In your proposal about discriminating between Mason events and non -Mason events, how would neighbors or how would we know which kind of event it was to know whether they were in compliance or not? Before you answer, my reason for asking is I went on the Mason's site today because know they had committed several years ago with Brian Dolan the posting of all of their events. I noticed that the last event posted was May 4th. So even today, they're not posting. I wasn't able to see the events to even know there was an event going on as they had committed to doing. But, bottom line, how would one know what kind of event it is to know whether they were in violation if we have separate parameters around those? Weinstein: So we acknowledge that the Masons have not been completely consistent in enforcing the voluntary measures that were suggested a couple of years ago so we definitely understand that. One of the objectives of this CUP relook is to codify those voluntary measures plus some additional measures that we've identified to make sure that they actually happen. So if there was an event at the Masonic Lodge in the outdoor area and a neighbor complained, we would investigate the complaint. One of the things that we would look at in investigating the complaint would be the event calendar that, per these conditions of approval that we're recommending, the Masons would need to update. If we found that there wasn't an event that happened, say, on a certain weekend and that event wasn't listed on that schedule, that would be a violation of the conditional use permit and we would seek to rectify that. So we get the fact that the events log hasn't been consistently updated, but the updating of the schedule would be something we would expect as part of this CUP modification. Chair Ritter: Go ahead, you haven't had a turn. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2016 Page 8 of 52
