Legion property from the residential area to the west. Mr. Bisanti said that, with the exception of the dance to be held in the Legion Hall on Saturday, those who had been invited to participate had been advised that 10 :00 P.M. was the cut off time for partying whether on the grounds or in the motels. Since many of those who might camp near the hall will have their families with them, he felt there would be no late night partying in that area. Mr. Fornell's memorandum of May 9th containing staff 's recommendation of four conditions which should be agreed to before a permit is given, was discussed and the conditions incorporated into the recommendation for approval. Of the 36 property owners who had been sent a notice of the hearing, only Mr. and Mrs . E. J. Martie, 2801 27th Avenue N.E. were present to express their opposition to the request. Mr. Martie who said he lives across the street from the Legion Hall was opposed to having the over- night camping because he is often disturbed when wedding dances are held in the hall now. He did not believe the City Police would provide the necessary supervision. He listed his complaints about "the way the Village is run" saying he had asked the Police Department to patrol his alley once every hour and then shortly afterwards was burglarized because his request had not been honored. He was also unhappy with the lack of enforcement of agreements regarding landscaping the pro- perty behind the butcher shop and bakery. He concluded by saying no • one on the Board lives in his area and therefore will not be as con- cerned about the possible disturbances which may result from the camping near his home as he. Mr. Fornell told Mr. Martie the City does not have the manpower neces- sary to patrol every street hourly but an attempt is made to get down each street at least once an evening. He questioned Mr. Martie about whether he had lodged a complaint against the disturbances caused by the dances and Mr. Martie replied that he had not because "It's their wedding and we don't want to spoil it" . Mr. Bisanti said the Legion is considering nailing the windows shut in the hall not only because they don' t want the neighbors disturbed during events held there but also to get efficient air conditioning. Although they don't live in that area, Mr. Marks and Mr. Rymarchick indicated similar annoyances with late evening and early morning use of the tennis courts near their homes and can sympathize with him, Mr. Martie. However, they both felt since the Legionaires are probably older than the usual wedding dance crowd, their dance might be a little less noisy and they felt the Legion representatives had indicated a sincere desire to prevent a dis- turbance to the neighborhood. Motion by Mr. Cowan and seconded by Mr. Hiebel to recommend to the Council that a Conditional Use Permit be granted the St. Anthony American Legion Post No. 513 which will allow an unspecified number of campers to camp near the Legion Hall at 2651 Kenzie Terrace as requested from Noon, Friday June 17th to 6:00 P.M. , Sunday June 19th, 1977 , subject • to the following conditions: (4)
