Session 1661, Minutes March 18, 1996 Page 5 of a permitted "passive activity" in the rear yard. Mr. Ollendorff said that deliberately was not defined, however, he suggested that nothing be done that would not be acceptable in a residential back yard (i.e., no carnivals, yard sales, or other noise-producing activity). Ms. Gloria Waters White, 545 Del Price Court, chair of Fortitude Foundation, an organization for African-American college-educated women who perform public service, said there would not be any activities that create loud noise. Mr. Cotton noted that one condition states privacy fencing shall be installed; Mr. Ollendorff clarified that along with the dense landscaping, the current fencing may be used if in good condition. The important parameter is that the adjacent residential neighborhood.be protected, and the staff will determine that. If the Foundation disagrees, it can come back to Council. Mrs. Schuman said several University City non-profit groups were interested in finding out if the Foundation was willing to rent its facility. Mrs. White said the Foundation does not yet have a full time program and may eventually be willing to rent to those with a similar focus. All voted Aye. SITE PLAN - 6677 DELMAR.
