every 20 feet along this landscape area. The applicant had indicated that this landscaped area could be widened to the required 20 feet if he narrowed down the spectator area between Courts 1 and 3 and 2 and 4. However, City Staff and the Planning Commission agreed that it was more appropriate to accommodate spectators between the courts rather than increase the landscape area along Ebony and create an opportunity for spectators to gather in this area also. Therefore, the recommendation from the Planning Commission is to approve a 15-foot rather than 20-foot wide landscape area along Ebony. Mr. Goodwin, the owner of the residential parcel on the west side of Ebony Street and southwest of the Super Bowl parcel (Lot 3, Block 3, Riverside West), expressed concern for screening from his property. Although there is akeady a substantial tree cover along the southwest property line, Mr. Holm has agreed to establish six 6-foot spruce trees on the southwest comer of the chain link fence to intensify screening and noise absorption from Mr. Goodwin's residential property. The applicant has indicated that there will be lighting established on the courts that will direct downward and towards the Super Bowl structure rather than towards Ebony Street-. He has agreed that the lighting specifications will be subject to the approval of the City Engineer. The proposed conditional use permit restricts the hours of operation to no later than 10:30 p.m. Mr. Goodwin had requested a 10:00 p.m. restriction, but the applicant indicated that although they don't anticipate the volleyball courts will be in play beyond 9:30 or 10:00, on occasion they do need to accommodate games where an overtime is required. Based on that, Mr. Holm would appreciate retaining the flexibility that goes with a 10:30 shut-down time to accommodate overtimes and clearing the courts. The recreational area is not proposing any portable restroom facilities, however, Staff did include screening of these facilities in the event they are used on the property on occasion. There is an exit door on the west side of the Super Bowl structure that volleyball teams will use to access the indoor bathroom facilities. There will be no P.A. system or amplified music used at the volleyball courts. The following items are enclosed: a) Site location map b) Site plan c) Public hearing and special meeting minutes dated 4/21/97 d) Proposed Findings of Fact e) Proposed CLIP Notification: Staff notified owners of property within 500 feet of the Super Bowl boundaries. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the request for a conditional use permit contingent upon supplying City Staff with a revised site plan that intensifies the screening on the southwest comer of the subject property.
