Rick Hankins, 3230 Royalton Court, CYO Athletic Director, described the CYO basketball program and the benefits it provided to youth and their families. He noted that the minimum height for a regulation basketball gymnasium established by the State High School regulations is 25 feet, and they recommended a greater height than that. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Peazce regarding whether the Church would be amenable to Condition No. 19 requiring that noise not exceed 60 decibels, Mr. Hankins confirmed that it was agreeable. A recess was called at 8:50 p.m. Acting Chairperson Fox reconvened the meeting at 9:02 p.m. Eric Souza, Pleasanton Village Homeowners Association (HOA) vice president, 4345 Krause Street, noted the that HOA consists of 196 homeowners and that their main concerns were traffio, safety, noise, and pazking, as well as the cut-through. He expressed concern about the hours of operation of 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. They were concerned about traffic congestion during the regular Sunday service times and the resulting safety concerns during CYO games. He expressed concem that there will be summer activities. While the applicant stated that they would not host wedding receptions, he inquired whether the Church would open up the gym to CYO volleyball or other summertime uses. He hoped a fence would prevent use of the cut-through. Todd Collier, Pleasanton Village Homeowners Association, 2117 Alexander Way, expressed concern about the size of this project and the volume of traffic and parking spaces. He noted that overflow pazking impacted the surrounding streets during all services. They had asked the City for support over the past few years for traffic controls on the streets for their own traffic, with some vehicles going over the speed limit, and he was very concerned about the addition of the traffic connected with this use. He indicated that there will be a lazge volume of activities, people coming and going, and that Rheem Drive could be used as adrop-off. He stated that the height of the building is a concern, and putting a large building in a residential area with a variance from the Code purely for aesthetic reasons is problematic. Commissioner Blank noted that any homeowner may address traffic mitigation with the Traffic Commission. Mr. Collier noted that they had taken that action, and the Traffic Commission suggested putting pazking and center lines down Rheem Drive, which would narrow the street. Rick Edwall, 4471 Stoneridge Drive, noted that Church overflow parking had consistently been a problem in the neighborhood. He suggested the addition of speed bumps to calm the traffic. He expressed concern about the shading effect of the gymnasium on his office. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES November 29, 2006 Page 13 of 28
