241 very heavily wooded area — maybe go back (image). The area, the light tan area is currently being farmed 242 and there isn't a tree on it. 243 244 Chairwoman Cabe: If you want to stand up and point, that's just fine. 245 246 Richard Gurlitz: This area here is all tan and is currently being farmed. It's hay farming. There is a small 247 wooded area in here, where the cemetery is. The other area (not tan) is completely wooded. This is a 248 completely wooded area. This is completely wooded. The area out to 54 is completely wooded. So, there is 249 really quite a substantial buffer, hundreds of feet of pretty dense forest. There is substantial buffer on the 54 250 side and the east property that separates the use on the site from really anything else. We can go back to 251 the site plan now. So, the building (the darker area) is located on a little knoll looking into all the wooded 252 areas. It is facing northwest. And the building's focus as an outdoor area is to the northwest. 54 is through 253 pretty much dense woods. All the effort is to try to isolate the building so that it is not affecting its neighbors, 254 in just about every way that we could ... how it is positioned, focused separated, located on the site away 255 from 54, far away. The activities taking place on the site are primarily focused in the building and we have a 256 play field that is that box over there, which will probably be a baseball diamond. The Legion are big softball 257 players. So, all of that, we wanted to keep it as close together as we could so that the lighting, noise, 258 anything created by the building would be centralized on the site and not spread out. Activities in the 259 building, if we go to that plan, that will give you a sense of what the program uses for the site would be. 260 This is a plan for the building. This area here is a big meeting room. That's a kitchen. This is a lounge, it 261 has a bar in. Exercise here. And then some big areas through here. It's kind of like a clubhouse but when 262 they do have major meetings, if everyone comes, it can accommodate 250 people. Also, the intent is it also 263 functions for the community. People in the community can rent it out if they want to use the facility, certainly 264 at the discretion of the Legion. It is not a public building. It can serve the community. That's about it in terms 265 of what goes on inside the building, how it's sited, how it's buffered from everything else and how we 266 determined those orientations. 267 268 Chairwoman Cabe: Ms. Brown, do you have questions? 269 270 Neese - Brown: It may be helpful to the board that there were acoustical studies. I don't know that they were 271 received into evidence. We would like them to be received as evidence. I don't know if you have questions 272 about them at this time or just want to receive them into evidence. 273 274 Chairwoman Cabe: I don't know that we have them in the paper packet. We were emailed copies. 275 276 Neese Brown: I have copies here. I will pass them out. There are two different copies. One of them is 277 sound measurements and one is sound level predictions. If there is an extra set, the gentleman sworn in to 278 testify from Barn at Valhalla, if he could have a set of those. We emailed them to him in advance but 279 unfortunately I think they went to his spam filter. I don't know if you have questions you want Mr. Gurlitz to 280 answer about these or if anything I think a brief overview perhaps of what the findings are. 281 282 Chairwoman Cabe: I have one question for the record. Do the acoustical findings of this report comply with 283 the LIDO noise ordinance? 284 285 Woman attorney: Yes, ma'am, they do. It specifically quotes the LIDO sections and the report is written to 286 respond what the LIDO requirements are. 287 14
