Excerpt from Feb. 10, 2010 Board of Appeals Hearing Concluding Deliberation

President Fung: Commissioners: I would move that we continue this … with strong recommendations to the appellant that it would be prudent for him to not have music on the roof, and to make sure that his clients that come there respect the level of partying they do on the roof.

Commissioner Mandelman: … I think what is so upsetting to me about this case is the prolonged operation of an establishment that is having impacts on neighbors where those neighbors have no forum in which to have those concerns heard. The notice of violation was correct, I think. This is exactly the kind of thing that could have had a conditional use permit and there should have been conditions on it and a sound wall or whatever. And the Buddhists and the residential neighbors should have had opportunity to have their hearing at the Planning Commission.
