Session 1911 February 9, 2004 Ms. Welsch asked if anything special was undertaken to prevent noise carrying through the partition, and was advised that the work of the business included installation of some equipment, minor tune-ups and stereo installations. The business is not a full- fledge car repair service shop and therefore generates less noise. Mr. Munkel moved approval of the option with conditions, and Ms. Welsch seconded the motion. Mr. Lieberman asked what objections to this proposal had been found by the Plan Commission, and was advised by the City Manager that they were being responsive to one neighboring business which complained of noise in the past. Mr. Sharpe, who was at the Plan Commission meeting, said one adjacent neighbor had complained that cars were raced up and down the street and that derelict cars were left around, but there was no supporting police report to this claim. The split vote in the Plan Commission resulted from the adamant complaint of the neighbor. Mr. Wagner asked that the motion include the hours of business and that they be limited to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for customer reception, and extended to 10 p.m. for additional hours. The measure was carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #6 - Heman Park Recreation Facility Update City Councilmembers, Park Commission members, Proposition K Committee members and other interested citizens have been heard over the past two weeks. Their suggestions and questions have resulted in an even better plan which will be available at this meeting. Ms. Welsch noted that the concession area will neither be enclosed nor air conditioned. She then asked if the wall on the north side of the locker area could be matched to the wall on the south, so that the facility could be air conditioned during the summer months when it would be used a great deal. Mr. Ollendorff said her question would be addressed. She then asked how people would move from the new recreation center to the concession area. She said there appears to be a door at the end of a new glass wall, and wanted to know if that was the means by which they would move. Mr. Ollendorff advised that the revised plans stipulated movement around the corner of the game room and that a door in the game room would lead to the soccer and to the concession areas; or, people can enter through the soccer doorway. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel Avenue, a member of the Proposition K Committee, endorsed the air-conditioning of the concession stand. Mr. Ollendorff advised that according to the plans the stand itself will be air-conditioned, and that it is the seating area next to the concession area which will not be. She said the item missing from plans which the Committee felt was especially important, was the office for the Park Director, because Page 6
