Planning Commission June 26, 2018 Page 6 Chair Johnson and Commissioner Jordan both agreed the event speakers should be turned south facing the road rather than facing the berm. Commissioner Jordan suggested holding a concert in each direction and measure. The applicant has the right to use their property but the residents have protections as well. He didn't feel the hill was tall enough to block the sound from reaching the residents. Commissioner Rydberg concurred with Commissioner Jordan and felt more study needs to be done with sound/noise levels, perhaps by measuring a few events, and mitigation. Chair Johnson stated facing east makes more sense rather than facing the highway. He stated the size of the hill is pretty good with 70' oak trees. He stated it won't block all of the sound but it's the best option available. Commissioner Larson -Vito stated by utilizing the hill for seating seems most logical but doesn't claim to know much about sound. She stated the hours of operations will hopefully help with noise mitigation. She stated there is also an opportunity to bring people and revenue to the city. Chair Johnson stated he understands the noise concerns but felt at the end of the day, 30 days of events per year is better than 365 days a year of mining operations. It was the consensus of the Commission to support live entertainment with sound facing east. Moved by Commissioner Larson -Vito and seconded by Commissioner Thiel to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit application request by ERX Motorpark, LLC, allowing for Off -Road Racing, Active Recreation and Physical Endurance, live entertainment, festivals, research and development, conference and event center, and swap meets as outlined in the staff report, with the following conditions to satisfy the standards set forth in Section 30- 654: 1.
