Planning and Zoning�r�i�n • <br />Minutes of August 16 ZUG :° <br />9 , <br />Page 2 <br />Melton Wolters questioned the hours of operation currently in use, which Doug <br />Kneupper clarified to be Tuesday and Friday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. <br />Betty Waters recommended that there be landscaping between the Church and the <br />neighborhood. Also there was a recommendation of definite hours of operation. She felt <br />the park should close by sundown. She also expressed that the old tires on the <br />premises would need to be cleaned up and not be used. Drainage would also need to <br />be corrected, and the standing water eliminated at the back of the property. <br />Melton Wolters commented that if this is to be a year round activity, there should be <br />specific hours set. He stated in the wintertime it is dark at 5:30; perhaps an 8:00 p.m. <br />cutoff would be in order. This would allow families time to get their children to the park <br />and it would not be a detriment to the surrounding neighbors. <br />Ross Morris voiced concern over how much money would be spent on the buffers. Betty <br />Waters stated that it would be up to the church to install the landscaping and they would <br />need to use landscaping that would quickly mature into an effective buffer. <br />Motion by Melton Wolters to approve the permit, with the following conditions: <br />❖ The park is to shut down by 8:00 p.m. <br />❖ Landscaping buffers are to be installed. <br />❖ Old tires are to be removed from the premises. <br />❖ Drainage is to be improved and maintained. <br />Motion seconded by Ross Morris. Motion carried unanimously. <br />VI. STAFF REPORTS <br />Masood Malik presented the Commission and the attending public with the new <br />restaurant facilities coming to La Porte.
