the street part is not soundproof. standing on the roof on the mission street side of the venue you can hear the band play very clearly. >> have you tried to contact the owner? >> early on i sent letters to the owners of brick and mortar.com and never got any response. >> i don't believe i ever got a sponsor if i did it was yeah, we are working on it. >> thank you. next speaker. >> my name is lex, as soon as they opened i experienced some noise issues and i did try to work things out and talk with various people at brick and mortar. when i met mr. perkins, he wasn't super nice. in the last month he has been much more representative -- receptive since the hearing. there has been appropriate sound readings. there have been at least 5 in my house. they did take legitimate sound readings and each time they came over they were issued a citation after that. it's been an on going problem for two years and i hear everything in my living room and on the plus side, i do think that since the last hearing they are taking steps to

the problem with soundproofing is you never know if you have a $50,000 problem or $150,000 problem. you do the best you can and when you play your music and the complaints continue, it's very frustrating. i think that's where we are at now and i think there was some soundproofing done and there is still complaints. that's the real frustrating situation. but, at the end of the day, buildings that aren't designed from the ground floor up, taking into consideration the room analysis test and buildings that were converted into something else, often times are flawed and that's unfortunate. we have seen it not just with this building but other buildings and other recent case where permits were denied or permits were not issued based on adverse impact where sound goes in communities where people live. that's the issue on this. >> thank you. any other public comment? >> seeing none, mr. perkins we'll start with your rebuttal now. >> first i just want to point out that brick and mortar over the last month has done four layers of sheet rock on the entire sealing of the venue and we know that

although i don't know what kind of soundproofing kabuki does have because i believe there is soundproofing between the theaters there. obviously if you were there first it doesn't really matter as much if you had the soundproofing or not. i do find it really frustrating because we did instruct the project sponsor to do certain things which [speaker not understood] has done, but it's really regrettable that yet another violation happened after our last hearing and it's hard to -- it is hard to, you know, support someone when there is continually bad actions taking place. i don't have anything of record for the may 8th violation. we've heard that there was an issue of may 8th. that would be concerning because we've had the soundproofing happened in april and then now we have another violation. maybe somebody can produce the violation if there is some documentation for it, but the project sponsor did do th

>> the date on the venue inspection is -- it's not soundproof except for the windows. the street part is

we did get information from them that they are in the process of soundproofing their venue. we are further encouraged that mr. perkins says he has been discussing this issue with the neighbors outside and made some progress and that's good news. we won't know whether any of this is working until the sound is complete with a sound engineer. we are asking the board entertainment action permit uphold until it's been adequately sound proofed. thank you. >> we can take public comment. can i see how many here wish to speak? thank you. i'm going ask if you would please lineup on that side of the room. the first person can approach the microphone. >> how many people want to speak? 6. three minutes. >> please fill out a card. >> my name is -- i'm one of the neighbors that live behind the venue. i'm confirm that we have made progress with the venue. i believe the owners we've been dealing with are genuine and interested in fixing the problem. we are not really concerned about any of the other issues that may or may not be interfering between the venue and the entertainment commission.

and i looked to my right and i saw an open door for a study room, an enclosed study room that's soundproof. we head in there and i told everyone, look, guys, this is what's happening. we all need to remain calm. everyone call 9-1-1. i kind of took over the leadership form. i've been trained to deal with situations involving stress and anxiety. so i kind of just took over early. >> it's a good thing you were in the room trying to keep everyone calm. police eventually busted into the room. where did they lead you to? >> 35 minutes later, initially, they busted the doors open with their huge guns and said everyone, put your hands up. they were just taking precaution. they didn't know who was the shooter. they wanted us out of the library on our hands and knees. we had to crawl through. after we crawled through the library, we saw the whole aftermath. >> what did you see at the entrance there of the library? >> at the entrance of the library, hundreds and hundreds of rounds of ammunition of all different types. i mean, used, unused, it was just a mess. directly to the left, the entire doorway
