Moved: Seconded: Vote: Ayes— MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD August 13,2018 TB Resolution 2018- : Approval/Denial of Noise Permit for Ithaca Beer August 26th event Whereas, the Town Board discussed the application at its August 13, 2018 meeting, now therefore be it Resolved, that the Town Board waived the necessity for a Public Hearing due to the actual processing date of the application and the scheduling of Town Board meetings as provided for in the Town Code, and further Resolved, that the Town Board issues/denies a noise permit to Ithaca Beer for a Greenstar Employee Appreciation event with a DJ and minimum amplification on Sunday, August 26"'from 4-8pm With the following Findings: 1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is necessary for a valid purpose,because music might not be able to conform at all times to the requirements of Chapter 184, and Ithaca Beer's Planned Development Zone specifically allows for music events, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required(Town Code §271- 15.D(3)). 2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed,because the amplification will provide music and announcement services for the event with the following limits: music is limited to 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., which hours are within"daytime hours" as defined by Town Code § 184-4; the entertainment is a singular DJ with amplification for announcements/awards and music not to exceed the usual outdoor music typically played during normal business hours; the amplification speakers must be located on the taproom lawn and face Route 13. 3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment,because the employees of Greenstar will be able to enjoy their awards event with music for a limited amount of time during the late afternoon and early evening on the specified date, with the above-listed limitations in place to minimize the intrusion on the neighbors. Moved: Seconded: Vote: Ayes— Dear Neighbors ofIthaca Beer The Town received an application for a noise permit from Ithaca Beer for Greenstar's Employee Appreciation party with a D] for music and announcements/award presentations.
