SO DAVID, WE HAD FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE WITH, UH, SOMEBODY THAT WAS STAYING ON THE PROPERTY FOR 2018, RIGHT? YES.
IN 2018, THERE IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT A RV THAT WAS LOCATED NEAR THE PROPERTY LINE AND TO DRESS THAT A CONCERN, THE RV WAS RELOCATED, UH, AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA TOWARDS THE WEST PROPERTY LINE.
AND THEN, UH, THERE'LL BE NOTHING GOING ON AT NIGHT AFTER A CERTAIN TIME.
YOU HEARD THAT THERE WAS STUFF GOING ON IN THE EVENING TOO, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE WATCHED, RIGHT? YES.
DAVID, WHAT WERE THE HOURS OF OPERATION AGAIN? I'M TRYING TO FIND IT HERE, BUT I CAN'T LOCATE IT.
THE HOURS WERE FROM EIGHT TO 10:00 PM.
LOOKING AT THE, UH, THE SITE PLAN, UM, IN THAT PARKING AREA IN THE BACK IS I THINK CURRENTLY WHERE, UH, THE OFFICE SLASH STRAWBERRY STAND STRUCTURE IS, IS THAT RELOCATED DURING OPERATION, CORRECT? THAT THAT WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE SITE TO LE LEAVE THOSE AREAS OR THAT SPACE FOR PARKING.
IS THAT A CONDITION IN THERE SOMEWHERE DAVID? THAT IS NOT NO.
OR JUST RELOCATED SOMEWHERE TO JUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTING THAT PARKING, OBVIOUSLY THE CONDITION, THE WAY THE CONDITION READS IS THIS SITE PLAN THAT WE HAVE BEFORE THE COMMISSION IS THE APPROVED VERSION.
SO ANYTHING NOT SHOWN ON THE PLAN WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED.
WE CAN PROBABLY CIRCLE BACK TO THAT.
WE'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE'LL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION NOW.
I'M THE OWNER OF THE SANAS GARDEN AND THE OPERATOR.
AND, UM, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THE EVENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS AT THIS PROPERTY.
MR. ISLER, COULD YOU SPELL YOUR LAST NAME PLEASE? E Y L E R.
AND I WANTED TO SPECIFICALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THAT I'M ON THE SITE PLAN, WHERE IT SAYS OFFICE THAT'S WHERE THAT, UM, INSTRUCTOR GILDAN WILL BE PLACED PERFECT FOR THE EVENT.
UM, AND I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF YOU.
IS THERE ANY, UH, BARRIERS WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE GOING INTO, BECAUSE I SEE YOU HAVE CUSTOMER PARKING JUST, UM, WHERE THE OFFICE IS AT AND THEN ADDITIONAL PARKING BEHIND THE SLIDE.
THERE'S UM, I SEE THE LITTLE POLES ARE THERE.
THERE'S A TEMPORARY CHAIN LINK FENCE.
[00:10:01]
UM, BUT IT MAKES THAT BOUNDARY, BUT ON THE, UM, WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE GOING IN, I GUESS MY ONLY CONCERN IS IN CASE THERE WAS A CARTA THAT WOULD LIKE GO STRAIGHT INTO THE SLIDE, OR IF NOT INTO THE PUMPKIN DISPLACED PATCH.I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S BARRIERS ON THAT SIDE.
THERE'S FENCE THERE'S FENCING.
SO THE FENCE IS, IS THAT WHAT THAT LINE IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE KRAKEN SLIDE? YES.
THAT'S A FENCE THERE AND THEN I USUALLY PUT FLAGS AT THE TOP.
AND, UM, THERE'S NEVER, THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY CLARIFICATION.
AND THEN DAVID, WHERE ARE YOU DRAWING THAT? ARE YOU THE ONE WITH THE MAGIC YELLOW MARKER.
YELLOW IS SHOWING THE BOUNDARY OF THE CHAIN LINK FENCE.
AND THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM WHERE YOU JUST DREW THAT LAST YELLOW LINE.
AND THOSE FOUR SPOTS IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER IS THAT PARKING AS WELL, ADJACENT RIGHT ABOVE THE TOILETS.
ANYTHING ELSE? I USUALLY MAKE THAT AND I THAT'S USUALLY EMPLOYEE PARKING, TO BE HONEST.
AND THEN THAT, WHERE HE DREW THE YELLOW LINE, THAT'S EXTRA FENCE THAT I BRING IN FOR THE EVENT, BUT THE REST OF THE PERIMETER OF THE ENTIRE PROPERTIES, PERMANENT CHAIN LINK FENCE, THAT'S ALWAYS THERE.
AND I, I THINK YET YOU DEFINITELY HAVE PLENTY OF PARKING.
I DON'T THINK YOU EVER FEEL THAT PARKING LOT.
I WOULD IMAGINE YOU WISH YOU DID.
ANYBODY ELSE HERE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT, ANYBODY HERE THIS EVENING, THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT.
AT THIS POINT WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL CALL ON THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION, UM, OR EMOTION.
I'LL BEGIN BY SAYING, I, I, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS.
UM, AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT STRUCTURE EARLIER, UM, THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION THAT THAT'S THE OFFICE.
AND SO I'M PREPARED TO, UH, TO TAKE A MOTION OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DISCUSS.
I'LL JUST SAY IF I CAN THAT 20 YEARS GOOD TRACK RECORD, NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES.
I SEE NO PROBLEMS. SO UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO INTERRUPT ME, I WILL MAKE A MOTION, APPROVING A RESOLUTION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA APPROVING SPECIAL EVENT.
