Approved 1/11/2016 OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 9 of 48 Tim Smith: That’s correct. That’s the concern, yes. 1 2 David Rooks: And what can be done to prevent left turning traffic from illuminating their house at 11 o’clock at night? 3 4 Tim Smith: Well, that’s what we want to look at. We’re still open to possibly moving this further down to this side possibly, where 5 left turning traffic would not be…….I don’t think so, it’s a concern and there is some wiggle that needs to be done to mitigate what 6 would best solve that concern. 7 8 David Rooks: And your plan shows while it’s soon to be a service entrance or a second access way from the rear. 9 10 Tim Smith: Yes, off Millikan. 11 12 David Rooks: Off Millikan. Would you locate for the Board where that entrance is? 13 14 Tim Smith: Yes, that entrance is right about here. 15 16 David Rooks: And I’m correct that there are, I think I see, four houses right there? Three houses right together? 17 18 Tim Smith: Well there’s three off of… yes. 19 20 David Rooks: And what, if anything, you find you can do to protect those houses from illumination from traffic departing at night? 21 22 Tim Smith: Well the service entrance is going to be very sparsely used. During events there could be a little more ….. Now, that 23 being said, we are still open to working solutions to minimize that as well. The service entrance is not absolutely required, I mean 24 needed, we provided it as a second access to the property for safety reasons, for ingress and egress. And you know, during the 25 majority of the time at all that service entrance will just simply not be used. 26 27 David Rooks Thank you Tim, that’s all I have. 28 29 Sharron Linn: Tim, I have a few questions. Can you explain to us to how any noise coming from the barn itself can be mitigated? 30 31 Tim Smith: Yes, that’s been a discussion also. It’s actually one of the emissions as Kara has offered on the application. So there 32 will be no amplified outdoor music except for wedding ceremonies and no amplified outdoor music at all after 8 PM. Obviously, if 33 there’s weddings here there’s going to be music for after the wedding. All that type of music will be inside the facility, there’ll be no 34 outdoor music following a wedding, as far as a reception. So the containment of the music itself will be inside the structure itself. 35 And the outdoor music, what Kara’s trying to convey here is that it will be very limited during a service. You know, a service is not 36 a rock and roll concert. She’s trying to impose that on herself because she’s concerned about your concerns from noise from 37 music. 38 39 Sharron Linn: And how will the barn affect any traffic patterns in the neighborhood. 40 41 David Rooks: I’m going to object; I don’t think this witness has come to testify as to traffic matters. 42 43 Karen Barrows: Do you agree James? 44 45 David Rooks: I think he’s a licensed engineer and surveyor, I’m not sure he has established any expertise with respective matters 46 of traffic. 47 48 James Bryan: Let me walk the Board through this in just a minute, but see if the applicant’s attorney wants to address that at all. 49 What was your other question? 50 51 Sharron Linn: We can withdraw it, that’s fine. Ok, well, one more question for you Tim. In your opinion what will be the overall 52 impact of building this barn on Kara’s property. 53
