Commissioner Balch: So to summarize it, it sounds like we're all basically agreeing that the 77 CUP; that this is a buffer zone in some capacity and now we're just kind of nuancing the buffer zone that way, right? So let me ask this. Are we okay with changing the doors to the solid door to that extent or are we still okay with staff's recommendation of just the sound glass doors. Commissioner Allen: I think solid door. Commissioner O'Connor: I do too. Commissioner Nagler: That's exit only. Commissioner Balch: Okay, so we're all there. We're all on the solid door. Let's start there. Okay, so now we're a solid door so what's the point of going outside and having a small gathering of people eating and drinking? Chair Ritter: Well, it's like they did before. They came around on the side where they could back their truck up. It's on the side so their gathering will be more on the south side. Commissioner O'Connor: Would you back up a truck with a big BBQ for five people? Chair Ritter: That's where the BBQ would happen, on the south or southwest side of the building not on the north side of the building. Commissioner O'Connor: I'm more concerned with how do we enforce it. How would you control whether it's a Mason party or non -Mason party with people with their noise levels? I think we get ourselves back to the same slippery slope we're in now. Code enforcement, police action.... Commissioner Balch: It sounds like we're all in favor of enforcing the buffer zone and we're all in favor of the requirement and the condition that the doors change to a solid door and fire exit only. The next thing is enforceability. I would recommend as a way to resolve that element is that similar to what Ms. Harryman said earlier, you know, we condition based on what we would want; Mason events only and that you know, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck, code enforcement can make that judgment, but I don't see how at this point on this dais we're going to get much better than that personally and I think taking time to try to do that would be a fault. So I'm 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. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2016 Page 35 of 56
