• Planning & Zoning Board September 10, 1997 Page 4 Mr. Dunn stated that noise is a prevalent complaint from nearby residents. He would hope that a tree buffer will reduce noise, especially in the area where three homes can be seen from the arena property. He wants neighbors to feel that there is cooperation and an effort to address the noise problem. Mr. Rehbein stated that he will work with the City Forester to plant the right number and right type of trees. Mr. Dunn requested that condition No. 11 be added for approval to require the City Forester to review the area and make recommendations for planting trees for noise abatement. Mr. Dunn asked if the sound system is still an issue and the meaning of the measurement of 59 decibels. Mr. Markson responded that the new sound system has been modified so that the volume is controlled and cannot go higher than set. The bases and trebles have been eliminated. The amp measure of 59 decibels is low; 58 is the lowest setting. Chair Schaps amended condition No. 1 to insert "and maintain the present" after the word • "monitor," and add that no modification can be made without City approval. Mr. Herr asked for clarification of condition No. 10, "other conditions." Ms. Wyland explained that if a variance is needed, the conditions of a variance could be included in this application. Mr. Johnson stated that he would prefer to see a property transfer in case the property is ever sold. If the deed is transferred, the variance does not have to be reviewed by the Board again. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the application for an amended conditional use permit for the Rehbein Arena/BMX Bike Racing at 426 Pine Street with the conditions presented in the staff report as amended: 1. The applicant shall monitor and maintain the present sound system to avoid disruption to the adjoining property owners, and no modification can be made without City approval. 2. Parking shall be provided for 121 vehicles with handicapped spaces as determined by ADA Rules and Regulations. No parking shall be allowed on the public right - of -way. 3. The parking area shall be surfaced with 7 inches of recycled base as approved by the City Engineer. 4. The porta - pottys shall be screened from the street right -of -way and the adjoining properties.
