Millers' response: (This is the third time the Millers have corrected staff on this point.This was previously communicated to staff in the Millers'June 22 and Jan. 15 hearing rebuttals.) This is incorrect. First,the Millers had no idea that this noisy party was related to a baptism;the Millers only knew that this was a loud party with music exceeding 60 dba measured at the fence line. The City is trying to unfairly characterize the Millers as complaining about something as righteous as a Baptism, without communicating the facts of loud music and noise in the backyard. Furthermore,at that time, the Millers were not aware of the daytime exception of 70dba at 25 feet from the source.The Millers could not measure the noise in the Masons backyard 25 feet from the source (the building). Hence the code enforcement was denied. 7. On Page 7,staffstates: "May 23, 2013—Ms. Nadia Costa, an attorney... representing the Masonic Center at the time,wrote to staff and identified voluntary measures to address the Millers concerns. The Millers submitted no formal response to the proposal." Millers'response: (Previously communicated to staff in the Millers'Jan. 28 hearing rebuttal.) • This is incorrect.The Millers were never copied on this letter, never received it, and therefore, never responded to it. • As you can see, Ms. Costa's letter is addressed to Nelson Fiahlo with the "cc" list containing: (1)Jonathan Lowell, City Attorney, (2) Chris Chamberlain, and (3) Mike Salazar.The Millers were not copied. • The Millers found out about this letter when the Masons were having yet another party, and the Millers went to the Masonic Lodge to complain and spoke directly to the catering coordinator who called Kevin Keen, the current Masonic President. It was Mr. Keen who informed the Millers of this letter, and that the Masonic Center was operating by the rules articulated in the letter.The Millers told Mr. Keen that they had never seen the letter and asked Mr. Keen to forward a copy, which he did in an email dated 11/9/2013. However,the letter Mr. Keen forwarded to us was not Ms. Costa's letter, but rather Nelson Fialho's response to Ms. Costa's letter. As you can see on Nelson Fialho's response to Ms.Costa, the letter is addressed to Ms. Costa with the "cc" list containing: (1) Brian Dolan, and (2) Jonathan Lowell. Again, the Millers were never copied. • As a result of seeing Nelson Fialho's letter, the Millers realized that the City staff agreed with the Masons and that the Millers needed to take their case directly to the City Planning Commissioners.The Millers began meeting with the Planning Commissioners in 2014. 8.
