PlanningBoard | 2005-09-29 | 14 | Vice President Cook noted that she often bought her tickets online in order to avoid long lines. She suggested that camping be restricted. Mr. Lynch acknowledged that people may line up for tickets at 10 AM, but opposed people sleeping over in front of the theater. He suggested that the applicant hire a private security guard for such events. President Cunningham noted that St. Joseph's was required to hire private security to monitor excess parking for special events. Mr. Piziali wished to ensure that there was no additional taxpayer expense on police services for such an event. Vice President Cook suggested the following language: "The queuing plan shall be viewed by the Public Works Director, Planning & Building Director and the Chief of Police, and shall specifically address overnight queuing, and the cost of extra police services, if and when necessary, shall be borne by the applicant." Mr. Lynch and President Cunningham agreed with that language. Ms. Mariani inquired about inside and outside surveillance, and the specifics of the security. Ms. McNamara believed that 10 extended hour events per year would be sufficient, and added that after the first night, it was no longer a special event for a blockbuster movie. She was also concerned about the impact on the neighborhoods by attendees leaving the late movies at 3 AM Vice President Cook noted that if the 10 days per year went well, the Board could consider adding more dates. Mr. Lynch suggested reviewing the extended hours every six months, rather than projecting a negative. Vice President Cook suggested making that interval slightly longer to accommodate a learning curve, but supported the general idea. She suggested 24 events in a year, and reviewing the extended hours after a year. M/S Cook/McNamara and unanimous to extend the meeting to 11:30 p.m. AYES - 6 (Kohlstrand absent); NOES - 0; ABSTAIN - 0 Vice President Cook believed it would be useful to cap the number of theaters being used on a late- night showing. President Cunningham did not want to place unreasonable economic restrictions on the applicant. Planning Board Minutes Page 14 September 29, 2005 | PlanningBoard/2005-09-29.pdf |
