COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 22, 1997 Mayor Landers requested clarification of the sound measurement taken by another Police Officer. A member of the audience explained that the 59 decibel reading taken during an event was very low, in fact "inaudible". Council Member Lyden requested clarification regarding possible curfew violation. Officer Hammes stated that curfew had not thus far been a problem, as most participants are accompanied by parents. Council Member Lyden asked for data regarding whether or not the outdoor facility operation presented a noise problem. Officer Hammes indicated that no such data was presently available. Mayor Landers stated that he had personally visited the facility during an event, and the loudest noise he heard was cars passing up and down the gravel road. Wes Peterson, 341 Linda Lane, reiterated all of the positive comments regarding the Rehbein facility, adding that it has brought much positive recognition to Lino Lakes as well as increased tourist revenue. Mayor Landers asked if creation of a berm would result in flooding problems. Mr. Ahrens suggested that further investigation would have to be conducted to determine whether or not water flow would be a problem. Council Member Neal moved to approve the amended conditional use permit pursuant to the conditions presented above, with a review in one year, provision of a schedule of events to the Police Department, and a report by the City Engineer regarding future steps toward noise abatement. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
