the building code, we have the right to make sure they follow the
plumbing code and fire code and that they provide adequate ingress and
egress to the facility for the safety of all of our citizens. You must ask
yourself the question is what the School District proposing reasonable to
alleviate the public health, safety and welfare issues that are brought
before you tonight, i.e. noise, light, traffic safety. If the answer is it is
reasonable then that is what they are obligated under these cases to do.
If the answer is no, then there may be some other thing that might be
suggested which was reasonable. So your focus is not on what you think
is reasonable, the question is do you think what they've done is
reasonable to alleviate the public's concerns.
