PlanningBoard | 2009-08-24 | 4 | parking requirements. Board member Cook stated that crafting final conditions at the dais are difficult, and asked staff to evaluate the community's proposed conditions of approval. Staff commented that the community and the applicant should be heard one more time, to evaluate all proposed conditions and to develop a final list from that. Board member Lynch requested a clarification of the resolutions from staff, applicant, and the community. Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft requested information on the noise and parking study. President Kohlstrand asked whether the State Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) liquor license could be held by the caterer instead of the owner of the premises. Staff stated that caterers can obtain licenses and the property owner could proceed without holding the ABC license. Board member Zuppan asked if clients could bring their own alcoholic beverages to the premises. Staff noted it understood this would be possible. Board member Lynch motioned/ Board member Cunningham seconded to limit public testimony to three minutes each. Approved 7-0. President Kohlstrand opened the public comment period. T. Sullivan, the applicant's representative, stated that the applicant has made a significant effort after the last meetings to accommodate the public's comments about noise and parking concerns. He stated that while the applicant generally agrees to staff's proposed conditions of approval, there are concerns with proposed conditions #4, #7, #13, and #16. Conditions #7 and #16, requiring parking attendants and security personnel at every event, are unduly burdensome. He commented that these requirements should kick in when 150 or more attendees per event are present. Condition #13, requiring a 10 pm closing time at all events, would make the facility infeasible. He stated that the other facilities of a similar nature are not restricted in such a manner. Condition #4, prohibition of the sale of alcoholic beverages, is difficult to enforce. Although the applicant does not want to sell alcohol on site, there may be caterers who are required to sell the beverages pursuant to client's requests. B. Warner, financial manager at Point Marina Vista, stated that an agreement has been reached between the adjacent property management, Legacy Partners, to utilize shared parking. He added, that similar businesses do not have the conditions proposed for Point Marina Vista and he asked that the Use Permit be approved to permit the operation of the business, which is similar to businesses permitted by right in the MX zoning. C. Zawde, property manager, stated that his company is committed to operating a first class facility that can be a good neighbor. He stated that the noise concerns can be mitigated, as noted in the noise study and that parking can be provided. He requested that the hours of operations be up to 11:30pm on Friday and Saturday be granted to make the project financially feasible and that condition #4 be altered to require security personnel for Page 4 of 11 | PlanningBoard/2009-08-24.pdf |
