If you have questions or comments you may contact Steve Roy @(651)266-9140. Sincerely, Steven R. Roy Environmental Health Specialist 11 .. ;, Item # 42 - Radio Rey Roger Curtis - Office of LIEP recommended approval of the sound level variance with one exceprion - the condirion that the organizers meet with LIEP staff on Tuesday, September 12 at 2:00 p.m. to resolve the issues that resulted from the Juty 31, 1999, noise variance. Coleman - What were the issues that arose last year? Curtis - Read violations listed in the letter Coleman - What I wonder if we shouldn't add those conditions in addition to the meeting condition. Curtis - It was my understanding from Christine Rozek that there were some other issues and concerns that staff would like to discuss with them. These aze the ones on written record from last year. Coleman - I would like to say that we include those things in there as conditions of granting the variance - that they shall provide someotte to control the board .... you just outlined those conditions, I'm sure we can get those on the record in addition to the meeting. Lets spell it out for them in advance. Dan - Perhaps failure to meet with staff would result in this not being granted. Coleman - Any of those conditions not being met would cancel the ............ Coleman - If we just translate those into "thou shalls" I thiuk we'll have our condirions. Dan - And, no meeting, no permit.
