30 Draft
<br /> 1 things like that, so we don't want anyone to complain again, say hey, we found, we saw someone
<br /> 2 there in that 50-feet buffer area, so it's pretty usual situation, I think. You want to continue, yeah?
<br /> 3
<br /> 4 Vinitha Cardoza: Yeah. I would like to make a case about the timing. We've asked for extended games and
<br /> 5 practice times, so, as you all know, North Carolina has a lot of rain. We get rain all the time, and
<br /> 6 when we have games planned during the weekend, many a times games are canceled, so, for
<br /> 7 example, last month, we're able to play only two times. Out of the four weekends, we just played
<br /> 8 two weekends, so this is to compensate for rain games, so we would like to ask for extended 1 or 2
<br /> 9 days, and this is not going to be all the time because they're all children who are in school who are
<br /> 10 playing. They cannot come every day and play, so maybe on a long weekend, it might happen
<br /> 11 couple of times a year, extended games, and this is mainly to compensate for rain days. That is
<br /> 12 one thing we are asking. We have asked for a little bit of extra time for practices. We have
<br /> 13 weekday practices, which actually, we have not used in the past few years, but we want to have
<br /> 14 little bit of extension time because again, kids are not getting enough time to play because of rain
<br /> 15 and when the weather is nice in the daylight, they could play for a little longer hours.
<br /> 16
<br /> 17 Vishwanath Patil: So, practice hours are definitely not all day. They'll be 4 hours during the daytime. Usually it's in
<br /> 18 the evenings, but again, as my wife mentioned, it never happened so far, but as we are asking for
<br /> 19 the modification, we're just putting that request in for now. Any questions so far?
<br /> 20
<br /> 21 Leon Meyers: Questions for Ms. Patil?
<br /> 22
<br /> 23 Vishwanath Patil: As for the condition modifications. Any questions on that?
<br /> 24
<br /> 25 Beth Bronson: Yeah, for the condition modification of conducting extended hours, do you have a time? I mean,
<br /> 26 obviously, there is no lighting, but do you have a cutoff time of 8:00, 8:30, 7:45?
<br /> 27
<br /> 28 Vishwanath Patil: Game time or practice?
<br /> 29
<br /> 30 Beth Bronson: Practice.
<br /> 31
<br /> 32 Vishwanath Patil: So, practice is, when it gets summertime, 7 p.m. probably. Wintertime, we cannot even go beyond
<br /> 33 5:30.
<br /> 34
<br /> 35 Beth Bronson: Wintertime, yes.
<br /> 36
<br /> 37 Vishwanath Patil: Yes.
<br /> 38
<br /> 39 Beth Bronson: Of course.
<br /> 40
<br /> 41 Vishwanath Patil: Right, so even if you started 4:00, we never started before 4:00. Kids come back from school, and
<br /> 42 then we have a couple of hours here and there, but if we could get extra days, then we can instead
<br /> 43 of just Thursdays and Fridays if we get 2 extra days, then they can practice 2 hours extra.
<br /> 44
<br /> 45 Beth Bronson: So, you're saying that currently, the SUP is for 2 days?
<br /> 46
<br /> 47 Vishwanath Patil: Two days, yeah.
<br /> 48
<br /> 49 Beth Bronson: And you're asking for 4 days a week?
