Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 17, 2019 Page 9 two would state that all other activities associated with the variance shall cease by 11:00 p.m. Ms. Gundlach noted in the second whereas clause the last sentence of that para- graph "The project is expected to take one to five days", did the Council want to leave that in place or specify a limit on the number of days, noting that it will be very difficult to enforce. Councilmember Etten indicated he would not change that. He indicated he would accept the other changes suggested by staff Councilmember Laliberte agreedas the seconder of the motion. Council Discussion Councilmember Etten thought everything has been covered and would allow all of the work to get done. Councilmember Laliberte thought this is better than denying it altogether in order to move the project forward and to completion as quickly as possible. Councilmember Groff agreed and thought it was middle ground where everyone was giving a little bit. He hoped it would not disrupt the community too much because the project needed to be completed as soon as possible for the businesses there. Councilmember Laliberte noted she found it troubling that none of the tenants came to the meeting to indicate how dire this would have been for them, so the City is left a little bit with thinking for them. She thought it would have been nice to have heard from the tenants as well as the residents around this project. Mayor Roe asked if notification went out to all property owners and tenants with- in the distance. Ms. Gundlach indicated the City notified property owners which is what is re- quired under City Ordinance, however, in recognition that there are many rental properties, the City posted notices at the residential rental properties. Notice was not provided to every individual commercial tenant, relying on the property owner to communicate that. Mayor Roe asked if there was a different notification for noise variances then for a land use. Ms. Gundlach the variance process does not specify if the City is supposed to be notifying tenants, it only states property owners.
