point number one, this item should not be on the agenda today for reasons everyone has already stated. modified hours will not alleviate the adjacent home owners concerns about all-day ambient noise, yet they will restrict public access to the park during required off-peak hours as determined by rec and park s own survey. this compromise, while understanding a way to resolve the issue, it s a lose-lose proposition, benefits neither side, and has no evidentiary basis. point number three, if the commissioners push forward, despite the concerns, i would suggest nothing less than 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. operating hours is reasonable. when i commute to work in menlo wash, i have to catch my bus at 7:00 a.m. i return home no earlier than 7:00 p.m. i have to feed my family dinner, especially during summer when it s light, we deserve access to this beautiful space. in any future meetings, i hope, regarding this topic, i would request the home owners provide their disclosure packages
