Commission that she has done everything possible to mitigate any potential negative impact on her neighbors and that she will comply with staff's conditions for approval. Leo Tamisiea, 7746 Cottonwood Lane, advised the Commission that he is in favor of the application. He noted that he has lived in the neighborhood since 1969 and there have always been music lessons in the area. He is retired and is usually at home during lessons and has never heard the piano from inside his home. Although he can hear the music if he steps into his driveway, he does not find it disturbing and, in fact, enjoys the music. Mr. Tamisiea further reported that he has noticed no traffic problems and has even offered to allow the applicant to park her vehicles in his driveway during business hours in order to allow additional parking in her driveway for her clients. He stated that he is very much in favor of the application. Demasis Brown, 7718 Cottonwood Lane, stated that two homes are between hers and the applicants. She advised the Commission that she initiated the petition in support of Mrs. barrow's application and that she contacted only residents who are within 300 feet of the Darrow residence. However, since Mr. Pedro had already voiced his opposition, she did not approach him with the petition. Ms. Brown stated that 12 of the 15 residents she contacted were in favor of the application. Other than Mr. Pedro, the only two other residents who voiced concern with the application live more than 300 feet from the applicant, with one being over 600 feet and on a different street. She, therefore, feels that those residents would not be affected in any way by traffic or noise. Finally, Ms. Brown stated that she has never heard any noise _ or noticed any traffic or parking problems. She expressed her support of Mrs. barrow's application. Diane Williams, 7703 Cottonwood Lane, reported that she is a teacher and music educator and feels what Mrs. Darrow is doing for the students is great. She stated that she has never seen any traffic or parking problems and feels that Mrs. Darrow is an asset to the youth community. She is very much in favor of the application. Patricia Sandoval, 7774 Cottonwood Lane, addressed the Commission along with her husband. They stated that the noise has never been a problem for them; however, if they do hear the music they very much enjoy it. They voiced their support of the application. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioners Barker and Kumaran, and Chair Cooper noted that the applicant has taken care of the neighbors' concerns relating to the noise and traffic issues and voiced their support of the application. A motion was made by Commissioner Barker, seconded by Commissioner Kumaran, making the conditional use permit findings, and approving UP-97-56. Planning Commission Page 4 January 14, 1998
