And we see this hearing as a catalyst to help us move towards a better arrangement with her. The red poppy art has come to be identified with the Residential Community that surrounds it, it is important to us that we remain visible as a beacon as cross Culture Exchange of activity and as an example of the transformative power that can be born in small and intimate spaces, i thank you for your consideration. Okay. Do we have questions from the commission . I do. So, i have been to the red poppy art house a number of times to see artists. It is a very cool space. Very cool. And i recognize that what your Community Involvement is, and i think that you are an important venue. I really do. In taking your neighbor into consideration, have you guys thought of somehow sound proofing your ceiling . We have thought of that many, many times. Considered the possibility and when i say that this process i feel is a catalyst, it is something that we really have to do and in the past, i think that the
Sure. And this is an area that i think we are planning to make some changes. The way that we do our programming, is that on weekend nights, for most of the year, we start our performances at 8 00 and they go until ten. Later, in the summer months we change that in 9 to 11 because of the light of day and it is bright out and the other exception is the event called the map, the mission arts and performance project which is a neighborhood event that happens every two months on the first saturday. And that is the one exception where we run late into the night to midnight. We have over the years made concessions, you can imagine artists starting out in a space could go to 4 00 in the morning and things did run late early and little by little we rolled it back. And we conversed with our neighbor, about that. Saying that we would cut it back. But understanding now the permit, that we are seeking, those exceptions whether it is summer, or whether it is that event, all of that is null and void.
Is our volunteer the person that will inform people. It is not okay to drink on the street. Any time. Okay. Right. Okay, in that way you will have to come into compliance. You have 650 square foot space if you got volunteers together and you researched sound proofing your ceiling it would not be that expensive. You could do it absolutely. Okay. Thank you. I had a question, your neighbor indicated that the noise goes on until the music goes on until 1 in the morning. Do you want to comment on that . Sure.

I really do. In taking your neighbor into consideration, have you guys thought of somehow sound proofing your ceiling . We have thought of that many, many times. Considered the possibility and when i say that this process i feel is a catalyst, it is something that we really have to do and in the past, i think that the issue has just simply been the cost from what i understand. The last thing that we want to do is to do a sound proofing job that does not work. Because we have very little resources and to do it well to do it professionally is expensive. Because our space is very much about the community and it is a state of intent, it is a contradiction for us to be in conflict with our neighbors, so i really respect her issues, the sound. And i feel like we really do need to resolve that. So the time that i was there, there was a guitar player and her amplification was minimal and i do not think from my perspective and i know sound pretty well that could have been too disturbing.
