44 <br /> Proposed Conditions, a reference to SUP25-002 <br /> Seeking to amend the existing SUP with a Major Modification to the Site Plan and <br /> the current SUP conditions. <br /> PROPOSED NEW SUP CONDITIONS (Highlighted) <br /> 3. Consistent with the submitted Special Use Permit application, applicant testimony, and for <br /> public safety purposes as required in Section 5.3.2 (B) (2), cricket play shall only: <br /> a. Occur from the months of April through November. <br /> b. Be played during weekends (Saturday and/or Sunday and long <br /> weekends) with practices being limited to four days a week for no <br /> more than 4 hours during daylight hours. <br /> C. Permission to conduct wash-out games (make-up games) during <br /> weekdays but limited to some weekdays (not every week). <br /> 9. The recreational facility shall use portable toilets, which shall be: <br /> c.

The shed will be a metal structure with <br /> covered sides. It will be used to store equipment such as mowers, rollers etc. that are required for <br /> the maintenance of the fields. <br /> Open batting cages: Batting cages provide a safe, enclosed space for players to practice batting <br /> techniques without the risk of stray balls posing a hazard. Cages will be created by using nets and <br /> poles. The cage material will be similar to that of the fence along Holly Creek Lane. This will not be <br /> impervious. No grading required and will stay as a natural surface. <br /> The proposed shed and practice area will be at the back end of the lower field, away from Holly <br /> Creek Lane. <br /> Permanent Toilet Facility with breakroom <br /> A permanent toilet facility with a breakroom is essential for ensuring the comfort and well-being of <br /> players.
