Ms. B~wkinson added that fund raiser are good but an <br />alternative to sand races should be selected. <br /> <br />Rose ]~eruth - 14900 Ramacite - Stated that Lions oontributions to the <br />co~nunity are wor~ierful but there must be an alternative location for the <br />races that w~)uld not create such a residential disturbance. <br /> <br />Councilmember (]ox irguired that if the Lions can minimize traffic and reduce <br />the poise and exercise better control over parking, would the citizens have <br />any objection to the Lions attempting to conduct their sand races another <br />season. Councilm~r Cox noted that last year was a trial season and the <br />Lions and City Council are ooncerned with citizen interest. Council]~a]lber Cox <br />stated that the sand race fund raiser will not continue if it operates in a <br />way that is objectionable to the residents in the area. <br /> <br />Rose Reruth - Stated that she cannot give Councilmember Cox an answer at this <br />time and added that it also concerned her that she was not made aware of the <br />races that were to be held so close to her home last year until they were <br />under way. <br /> <br />Ms. Anderson - 149th and Limonite - Stated she had a gathering at her borne the <br />day of the races last year and the noise from the races was no ~)re <br />objectionable than the aircraft flying overhead from the airport; it is <br />something that has been lived with for years. <br /> <br />Vic Bunes- 7101 149th Lane - Stated that the noise is not the same as that of <br />aircraft overhead; om~aend the Lions for what they do for the ~unity; <br />attended a Council meeting a oouple years ago in which Council stated that <br />they would not put up with barking dogs all day and night -- barking dogs is <br />no comparison to the noise we put up with from the races; also had a gathering <br />the day of the races and it was ~mbarassing to live in a oorm~unity that would <br />allow this activity adjacent to residential neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Donna Bunes- Stated that when the p.a. system went on it was startling and <br />the engine roar was defeaning; Lions should research an alternate location or <br />look for a better type of fund raiser. <br /> February 26, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 20 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
