DoubleTree Resort expansion

Gave emotional testimony about three years of 'circus' conditions: cars parked in front of his Jackrabbit Road home, beer bottles, a break-in attempt tied to an intoxicated resort guest, people in his backyard, and 4:30 a.m. construction noise he recorded; flew back from overseas to testify.

Says noise from the old Days Hotel carried two miles and objects to a second outdoor venue near her home; also calls the string lights unattractive and inconsistent with the town's dark-sky vision.

Says he could hear wedding toasts from the old Days Inn at his home, doesn't believe the 45-decibel claim, calls string lights a 'scourge,' and argues the resort is becoming an entertainment venue outside the entertainment district.

Lives two blocks into La Jolla Blanca and already hears outdoor events that occur inside the courtyard; warns decibel math is misleading because events happen at night when traffic noise is minimal.

Lives across from Mr. Olson; confirms overflow parking on neighborhood streets, worries about lifting the 850-person cap, and asks who enforces construction-hour rules after being awakened by trucks idling at 4:30 a.m.

Fears two lawns means double the simultaneous events and noise; describes 'rager' DJ parties, conference parking on her cul-de-sac, and semi-trucks getting stuck on dead-end Jackrabbit Road, asking for better signage.

The resort's attorney explained the basement meeting rooms have three exits, sprinklers and code-compliant ingress/egress, and argued the 1985 850-person cap was arbitrary and unenforceable.
