DRAFT work with the City but that it seemed his experience in Dublin was not as successful, based on the City of Dublin's perspective. Mr. Pfund noted that the items mentioned in the letters, such as pistols, were used for martial arts. He noted that he kept personal products and clothing on hand because he spent most of the day and evening in the studio so he could change into clean clothes after the business day. He noted that the shower was installed with permits by his landlord. He noted that with respect to flammable materials and exposed wires, he had had an incident the week before the City planner came out; he had turned his furnace on, which resulted in a loud "pop" noise. He subsequently had the Fire Department come out to inspect it and used the paint buckets to climb into the roof area to fix the problem; the Fire Chief subsequently told him that everything was fine. Later on, the Building Inspector examined the building and found that the paint and exposed wires on the roof, which were out of his sight, needed to be fixed. He noted that he worked with the Building Inspector on that issue. With respect to the suspended ceiling, he was informed by the Code Enforcement Officer that he was not able to leave the rope in that area; he work expediently to correct that matter as well. He noted that he was issued afollow-up letter, clearing him from each of the violations. He added that his facility had been closed due to the fire hazards and that he worked with the Building Inspector to promptly resolve the issues. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Fox regarding the follow-up letter and other zoning violations noted regarding hours of operations, Mr. Pfund replied that he and his landlord were still working with the City of Dublin at that time to correct the wiring issues. With respect to the trash issues as well as the hours of operations and youth programs occurring on weekends, Mr. Pfund replied that while his facility was closed, the garbage accumulated. He noted that he had taken care of those issues. With respect to the youth programs on the weekends, that did not apply to him but to his co-tenant. He noted that while the Fire Chief was working with him, he did not make any mention of the items later cited by the Building Inspector. He emphasized that he worked with the Building Inspector to correct the conditions as quickly as he could. With respect to the conditional use permit, the City of Dublin had lost his conditional use permit paperwork; he was required to reapply for a new conditional use permit, which he was granted. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Fox regarding whether he had changed physical locations in Dublin, Mr. Pfund replied that he had moved across the street from his original location. He noted that he had a conditional use permit for each location. Commissioner Pearce requested that the applicant clarify the conditions that would exempt him from providing care and supervision. She understood that his business must be a drop-in program without supervision, without specific activities, without a structured program, and inquired how that would apply to a martial arts program, which seemed to provide each of those items. Mr. Pfund replied that he was exempt because he held achild-care licensure waiver and required the parents to acknowledge that their children were free to come and go in his facility. He was, therefore, not required to have a license or to follow the rest of the Health and Safety Code, which did not apply once it was established that he did not need a license. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Fox regarding whether the City Attorney agreed with that statement, Mr. Roush replied that he did not agree with that statement. He advised that just DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 2-13-2008 Page 6 of 15
