width of the road and the parking plans will not impede emergency equipment, Mr. Holloway calls attention to the letters from Chief Brian Stanley of the Brown Township Fire Department, that the gravel road is adequate for emergency equipment and an additional letter that states maximum capacity shall not exceed 450 individuals. It is explained that 450 is from the fire chief not the family, they do not plan to have weddings that large a typical wedding will be about 200 and the contract, according to Hali Mynatt, is a 350 person maximum. Ross says all noise / music will be stopped at 10:30pm. Portable restrooms will be brought in during the weddings. Ross Holloway reiterates that again the special exception is being asked because of the 29 plus acres less than 1 will be utilized for the wedding events, the remaining acres will continue to be farmed and remain agricultural. BZA member Alan Kramer expressed concerns of a 450 maximum capacity vs 140 — 145 parking spots, he believes there should be additional parking available in the field. Mr. Kramer says he has heard during previous events that attendees were parking in the streets and in the nearby neighborhood. Mrs. Mynatt explains that the 2 day concert that was held was hosted by a neighbor, maybe he allowed people to park at his home and walk over. BZA member Perry King asked about the gravel road, it is flinches of crushed concrete and 4 inches of gravel, Mr. King discussed concerns of foul weather, equipment will sink or press the gravel into the ground. Ross Holloway says that that while nothing is 100% certain the letter from the fire chief shows that the existing road is adequate. Mike Young asked that Ross Holloway address the fire safety, The Perry and Mynatt families will seek the necessary safety measures once the board votes to allow the special exception, there is no need to endure the expense of sprinklers, emergency signage, doors etc until an allowance is given. The petitioners will go through the proper state and homeland security channels to ensure all proper safety measures are taken and installed. Neal Allman called for questions from the audience, he assured that all that wished to speak would be heard, he asked audience members to keep their remarks brief and to try not to duplicate another's concern or comments in regards to time constraints and large audience in attendance. Mr. Allman requested that all supporters speak first and then concerned individuals follow.
