Due to the lateness of the City's receipt of the application, it was necessary to notify these residents by telephone, and all who could be reached have been so notified. He also noted that, although the application does not specifically require a public hearing, all members of the audience wishing to address the Board will be heard. Mr. Luther reported that the speaker system formerly used has been eliminated and security personnel will be hired in an attempt to meet the complaints of the neighboring areas.

The following people addressed the Board: Virginia Mason, resi- dent of Orlando Drive; Emery Switzer, 5991 Brassie Circle; Peter Rossi, 5981 Brassie Circle; and Nicole Poucel. These people discussed hours of operation, noise impacts from the project, vandalism, littering, drinking taking place off the church prem- ises, intrusion of patrons of the festival onto private properties, and general danger and inconvenience credted by the activities taking place during the carnival. They also inquired when the security personnel would be on duty and about the possibility of barricading streets to keep carnival patrons out of their neigh- borhoods. Board discussion ensued, addressing the points raised above and attempting to find methods to mitigate the adverse effects of the project as much as possible.
