PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED . l\-vv;n Li~J .~.. cvon~ IWIlll, ~pol\e on behalf of the Tri-Yalley Chine~e Bible Church. The Church would like to have an unconditional approval of the 10:30 p.m.. time, but if that is not granted, they desire the 10:30 p.m. probationary arrangement. They want to be good neighbors to all concerned and are aware of the potential noise problem. Mr. Liu feels the probationary arrangement will provide a sufficient time period to closely monitor the situation and opportunity for the neighbors to voice their concern during that period. Granting this conditional use permit will allow the Church to significantly improve their Friday night services. Mr. Liu stated the Church contacted the neighbors soon after they moved in, and they have never received any complaints or concerns from the neighbors. Mr. Liu feels there will be no problem clearing the premises by 10:30 p.m. since they have been doing so to meet the 9:30 p.m. requirement. Commissioner Wright asked if they would use both of the rear doors. Mr. Liu stated one door would suffice for ingress/egress. Another reason for using the rear doors would be for convenience to the trash dumpster. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Hovingh commented that he feels this is the same principle as the situation of the Hopyard Village Shopping Center and they must be sensitive to the neighbors; however, . he is satisfied with the staff report and recommendations. Commissioner Wright commented he would agree to the extension to 10:30 p.m. on a three- month probationary period and feels they have complied in being good neighbors because no neighbors have initiated a complaint. He would also approve of using one rear door during the same hours. Commissioner McGuirk stated he would rather approve the 10:00 p.m. time limit. If there are no problems in the future, the Church can come back for the 10:30 p.m. time limit. General discussion centered on noise issues, whether the time should be set at 10:00 p.m. or 10:30 p.m., and whether the rear doors could be used for garbage removal and Church member ingress/egress. Commissioner Barker stated she would approve of the 10:30 p.m. probationary period, but would not approve of use of the rear doors during the night time. Commissioner Dove feels that the summer time will not provide a good test and suggested a six-month probationary period would provide a better test. Chairman Lutz supports the 10:30 p.m. probationary period; however, he is hesitant in opening the doors during the night. . Planning Commission MInutes Page 3 April 24, 19%
