SPRINGER:Thank you. You, sir? SERAFIN:If I may? Given that this is a Special Permit with conditions, could we not say that amplified music would be prohibited as one condition, which would alleviate the bulk of the problem, except for the amplified speech of the Reverends sermon which -. As I said, he has always been very, very sensitive to his neighbors. And if can codify this somehow so that people who know, who come after him as pastor would follow the same principles. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Serafin. Your comments are part of the record and Im sure will continue to be part of the discussion. Maam, your name and address, please? MITCHELL:Im Betsy Mitchell. I live in the Village on Iiwi Road, which is paralleltoWrightRoadbutquiteawaysaway.ImmainlyveryresponsibleforCooper Center and Farmers Market, so its right in with this with parking. Our people have been parking on the shoulder. We are now presently putting in an additional parking lot at Cooper Center to take that strain off of Wright Road, and our parking lot will be available to the church at any time they need to use it. Well have plenty of parking; and were most anxious to have the church built. Its a good thing for our community. And we want it there and the people want it there. Ive had fun talking to people Sunday morning; and we have between 250 and 300 people that come to our Farmers Market. You should come, too. Its really quite great. And theyre very outspoken and very positive in their feelings and very willing to tell us what they think. So when I asked, What do you think of a church coming in? Wonderful, they said, Thats just what we need. But more than just one, please. So, hopefully, youll get some more requests for more churches in Volcano. But parking, they can certainly use our parking lot and our orange cones. Thank you. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mrs. Mitchell. Are there any questions for the testifier? ALAMEDA:I have a question. SPRINGER:Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA:How far would the walk be if they do park in your structure from -? MITCHELL:From Cooper Center? ALAMEDA:Right, to the church. MITCHELL:A considerable walk. ALAMEDA:A mile? 15
