about as far as I would go. I would also be quite comfortable with the conditions that we
<br />have in the recommendation.
<br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioners, having heard the Directors
<br />comments, do you have any questions of him? Commissioner Graham?
<br />GRAHAM:I just wanted to ask Mr. Mathison if the Directors possibility of
<br />having a requirement of no amplified music after dark, if that would constrain you in an
<br />unacceptable way?
<br />MATHISON:Well, Ive never considered it before. We dont even have a night
<br />service. We may at sometime, or if they have a wedding later or something like that; but,
<br />and its hard to predict exactly what our needs are going to be. But, like I say, weve
<br />always been mindful of our neighbors and consider them like we would like for them to
<br />considerus.LikeIsay,rightnow,theresnothinggoingonintheeveningsatall.What
<br />the future holds, I dont know. But, basically, theres many churches now dont even
<br />have a night service, and we fall under that category. But we dont have, we dont have
<br />any drums in our music department. It seems like they bother me a lot, too, places where
<br />Ive been; but we dont even have one.
<br />GRAHAM:So if I hear you correctly, youre indicating that that wouldnt be a
<br />problem for anything youre doing now but youre not looking forward to have such
<br />restrictions, cause you dont know what may transpire in the future?
<br />MATHISON:Yeah, were not looking to do any changes as we get moved into
<br />our new building. What might encourage change or require change, we would have to
<br />face it when it came. But, like I say, as you, if you were to stand where the church is
<br />going to be put now, you cant see a house in any direction, north, south, east or west.
<br />Were, its 710 feet long, the property, and were just about half way, a little bit more
<br />mauka than we are to Road A on that distance. Like I say, I did a little measurements the
<br />other day, its about 365 feet to our property line from where the church is, its almost
<br />400 feet. Theyve got 40 feet of roadway. And its, you know, thats before you even get
<br />to where the houses might be setting. I see no problem, but I know youre trying to cover
<br />all the bases, too. If the time came and people are unhappy, then wed want them to
<br />voice that and work it out with them; but weve got a good record. I think that stands on
<br />itself. We got bed and breakfasts in the same block that were on, we never got a
<br />problem. In fact, the people that own it said if you ever are bothered by our people, let us
<br />know if we didnt bring much harmony up there.
<br />SPRINGER:Thank you, Pastor Mathison. Im wondering if the Planning
<br />Director is, would add that condition, or would that come as a motion from the Planning
<br />Commission?
<br />YUEN:Im not advocating it. Its something that I think would be
<br />reasonable if the Commission wanted. Of the list of things that was requested, thats
<br />about the most, I would think, that I would feel comfortable with recommending. But its
<br />18
