336 County ordinance. And the applicant has agreed to do that. So to the extent that the noise affected a 337 neighbor, we are agreeing at all times to comply with that. So that means if there is ever a ball field and a 338 ball game, we would have to do that under the conditions. The fireworks condition that we agreed to used 339 to be 5 and is now 6 in the ordinance. Mr. Harvey had accepted the one that was submitted but I had not 340 seen it and I had not seen it before it was submitted and I tweaked it a bit. And I think, Mr. Harvey, that you 341 were comfortable with the language that we had proposed there. It's Condition 6 on the green sheet. And 342 that condition, although I had asked that we re -write it to be slightly different with language I thought was 343 more appropriate with the ordinance. I had asked that we add back Veterans Day because that had been 344 dropped inadvertently. And the language we had asked for tweaking was: 345 346 "Fireworks usage on site shall be restricted to Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day." 347 And then it would go on to say, "Proper state and local permitting shall be obtained prior to firework activity. 348 Communication with the community will be made by a website or other similar medium prior to fireworks 349 being used on site." I asked that language be substituted for what is here. (When asked by Chairwoman 350 Cabe, she re -read the language.) 351 352 Randy Herman: Presumably, because the noise condition is a separate condition from the fireworks 353 condition, even on those days they have to comply with the noise ordinance? 354 355 Neese - Brown: Or be permitted to have a special exception for fireworks which is what happens with 356 fireworks. Anywhere you have fireworks, you have sound in excess of anyone's ordinance you happen to 357 be dealing with at that time. When you go get your permit, that's your exception to the noise ordinance for 358 that one special occasion. And it's a day when people in the community expect to hear such noises — the 359 days we're restricted to are those kinds of days. 360 361 Chairwoman Cabe: Let me just make sure I have this wording correct. "Proper state and local permitting for 362 any firework usage shall be obtained prior to firework activities." I'm having trouble reading my own 363 handwriting... 364 365 Neese - Brown: It's a little different from what I said but it's an improvement, so let's keep it. 366 367 Chairwoman Cabe: OK. "Communication with the community shall be made via website or other similar 368 medium prior to fireworks being used on site." 369 370 Randy Herman: Your proposed wording would take out the 30 -day prior notice? 371 372 Neese - Brown: I did take that out and the reasoning was, that sentence may be different from what we 373 had ... my concern when I was grappling with the language submitted by someone else on behalf of the 374 applicant... My concern was that the Special Use Permit runs with the land and what happens in time may 375 be different. 50 years from now, I won't be here to care. But it may be that we won't be using websites 376 anymore. It may be that we will be doing this completely differently. I wanted the language to be broad 377 enough to cover the passage of time and a change in the way we do things and yet restrictive enough that 378 the permitting has to be in place and that appropriate communication has to go out. That was what was in 379 my head when I made those changes. 380 381 Chairwoman Cabe: Do any other board members have questions before we move on? 382 383 Karen Barrows: Page 62, Number 17, and Page 65, solid waste, 16
