Commissioner Balch: Does anyone have any other big brush strokes or should we go through the topics? Chair Ritter: That was probably the biggest one. Let's just start number one. Commissioner Nagler: Well, why wouldn't we prohibit any use to assign the building? Commissioner Balch: Because the uses can't be a massage parlor, correct? Commissioner Nagler: I don't mean that, just in the context... Commissioner O'Connor: So number 1 says use is allowed at the Masonic Lodge that includes inside and outside. The uses I don't think are an issue, it's where it's used and how often. I'm looking at page 11, the uses. Commissioner Balch: Are you looking at the Conditions or Staff Report? Commissioner O'Connor: I'm in the Staff Report. Commissioner Nagler: That's my point. There are permitted uses by virtue of how the property is zoned, right? So I'm not sure beyond that. Commissioner O'Connor: I'm not finding one. As long as you don't use the outside more than once a quarter, what is egregious in here? I haven't seen anything yet, events, birthdays, retirements? Commissioner Balch: Can I ask about the catering element brought up several times under D, under ancillary uses. Commissioner O'Connor: Up to one catering business at any given time with no more than 5 staff members. I don't think in the past that we've had a problem with the catering operation, whether it was used for the Masons or not. I don't think there was a problem, and someone might yell at me, but I don't think we had a problem until the outside started to be used; that buffer zone. Commissioner Balch: I didn't get that impression personally. I got the impression that the catering business and the five ancillary structures or however many that there are became a problem because of preparing food for external sites. Commissioner O'Connor: I heard that from other neighbors tonight and I don't see that as a Miller vs. Mason issue I don't think but I could be wrong. But I heard that from other residents in the neighborhood, so I think other people had some issues with it. Commissioner Balch: So maybe staff can weigh in on that. Was the catering business part of the CUP concern with the ancillary uses I guess? Weinstein: My impression is that concerns regarding the catering use were mainly a function of the fact that occasionally catering employees were going outside and smoking, so again, that's something that could be restricted.
