0 0 • A weekly Farmers Market held on Saturdays from Sam -1 pm with food and craft vendors and entertainment. Average attendance during the market is expected to be about 250 people. • The Certified Kitchen (approved in SP# 1122 to provide meals for faculty, staff and students) will additionally serve to teach school home economics, food preparation for farmers market, night bazaar, dinner theater vendors and small family food businesses, such as "Let's Go Pesto ". Three evenings a week meals will be prepared for about 40 local community residents with a delivery service offered to reduce traffic and to provide meal services to the aging in our neighborhood. Kitchen activities will end by 9pm. Occasional community meetings and family events such as spiritual gatherings, weddings, memorials and birthdays provided free or at affordable rental rates on weekends only up until 7pm. • Two additional classrooms (approximately l ,000sq ft each) In order to mitigate some neighbors concerns, we are proposing a condition that noise levels for the above activities be limited to 65 dBA at neighbors property line which is considered an acceptable sound level for a single- family residential area. Our present legal noise limit according to State Dept. of Health Rule 6 -4 D on land zoned Ag is 70 dBA day and night. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has established guidelines for evaluating noise impacts on residential projects (44 FR 135:40860 - 40866, January 23, 1979). Sites are generally considered acceptable for residential use if they are exposed to outdoor Ldn values of 65 dB or less. We propose utilizing the Ldn standard procedure used for noise level measurement. The Ldn is the average equivalent sound level over a 24 hour period, with a penalty added for noise during the nighttime hours of 22:00 to 07:00. During the nighttime period 10 dB is added to reflect the impact of the noise. Ldn measurements are the standard for assessing the impact that road, rail, air and general industry has on the local population. We are confidant that we can keep to these objective standards and eliminate past noise issues with the installation of a $50,000 sound insulation plan that is being funded by grants conditional upon the issuance of this amended permit. We propose that Condition #4 be deleted. It states "the applicant shall secure building permits, for all existing farm dwellings/buildings, on the remainder of the property within one (1) year from the effective date of this permit ". This amended permit application only applies to the 3 acre portion of TMK 1 -2 -9 -034 containing the permitted SPACE structures. Since the applicant neither owns nor leases the remainder of the property nor does it use or own any of the subject dwellings or buildings it has no authority or power to secure such permits and should be released from the terms of this condition. We propose that Condition #5 be deleted. It states "No public performances shall be allowed on the subject property." This amended permit application requests a total of 24 public performances/Dinner Theater Shows be permitted annually. 11 J
