He stated the 11:00 p.m. cutoff was a compromise with ERX's request for <br /> a midnight cutoff for live entertainment. <br /> Chair Johnson stated he would prefer to keep it consistent for all events and be in <br /> favor of ending at midnight. <br /> Commissioner Feinstein asked if condition 1 could include language regarding <br /> ongoing camping. <br /> Denise Lemmon spoke,representing numerous residents (Betty and Donald <br /> Lemmon, Norman Lemmon, and Irene Toth) living along Brook Road NW, stating <br /> the negative impacts the ERX track noise has had on those residents.
