Avenue block 1903 lot one audition for more event space and restriping of aart parking lot good evening Mr chairman members of the board stepen H merman of the law firm of jabbal warft hickon Wickstrom and sinons so you got I
got it right again you did I did it's not often but I did tonight thank you Council thank you for the opportunity to address the board this evening with regard to this application this matter has previously been before the board testimony has been taken we're going to be asking for an adjournment this
evening of tonight's hearing because we have recently within the last couple of days provided the board through staff uh with a copy of our operations manual it is a very difficult thing to write an
operations manual for an event space has been that has been proposed and we spent a lot of time with our client developing this program because that's what it is when you read through it you're going to see that it's a program and it's a program that provides very specific benchmarks and very specific
responsibility on that of the um owner of the facility the operator of the facility as well as the potential customers you will see in this um operations manual you will see the security plan uh that's been put into
place um that includes uh the use of the Union police department and the jobs on Blue to make sure that the outside of the building is is appropriately uh dealt with during the course of the events that may be at the space you'll also see that the um
people who are U renting the facility or have responsibilities those responsibilities include additional security inside you'll also see that there are Provisions within this operating manual four times when there is uh a liquor license that uh has been
sought but it has not been approved as of yet so as of now the plans are to go forward with only the uh event space without the liquor license hopefully may maybe by the time we come back that liquor license will already be secured and we could have further discussions of
that but for the moment if approved according to this uh operations manual there will be no alcohol permitted on premises even brought in by the people whose event it is because we understand how significant
these type of um actions uh can be so we're going to take all actions and that's why I'm giving you a little bit of a summary so when you start to read it you'll know exactly where we're going uh I do have my client representative present tonight uh who certainly would
be available to answer any questions but I think you all need the time to digest what we've written because took us a long time to to write it and I'm sure you want to give it the attention that it needs to to digest it so with that Mr chairman we would ask that this matter be carried uh yes Mr chairman I had the
conversation with Council prior to tonight's meeting um I think it's an appropriate request under the circumstances uh but two things I'd like to just clarify uh it'll be without a specific date to allow time to have both
the board digested but as importantly the communication that was referenced and it wasn't a separate communication because it was circulated to the board the letter from javer bomb warg's office includes the plan that Mr Murman just summarized and he doesn't
testify so that's why I I'm okay with them summarizing it I'd rather not see a swear and a witness I believe this witness would need an interpreter anyway if I remember correctly from when we were last adjourn uh that's part of my point that I the adjournment uh should
be without date you can coordinate Council can coordinate with the building office after we get the comments back from Colliers and make sure that we're all going to be back on the same page to schedule it make sure we have the compliment of board members who heard the first day of testimony there's a lot
going on here and once you get into an adjournment of two three four times which I think we're at in this case and I realize there's a lot here so I commend Council and I commend the applicant for their efforts because there's a lot going on here um so I would suggest that we make a motion to
entertain the adjournment but without date to be Ren noticed by the applicant so long as the applicant does wave time constraints obviously to realize the adjournment to allow us to digest this information to reschedule on behalf of the applicant uh we hear by way of any
applicable statutory periods thank you Mr M thank you at this time are there any board members that would like to question you applicant hearing none one other thing too Mr chairman I'm sorry in addition to the javer bomb letter there also is a
response specific uh from I guess it's your engineer or your architect the design company uh that addresses coler's past comment so that also is in the packet tonight which is why it's important for Coles to weigh in thank
you may I have a motion in a second Mr chairman I'd like to make a motion to adjourn calendar number 3434 uh Toro Home LLC located at 103 Union AV without date and uh applicant
must Reen notice second motion roll call Mr Wy yes Mr Martins yes Mr Vaga yes Scott yes Johnson yes mcneel yes Mr Champion yes thank you very much thank you coun
we will see you soon may have a motion to adjourn Mr chairman there being no further business coming before the board this evening I move we adjourn all in favor opposed
