      E. Refuse to delete conditions 28 and 42(f) for the following reasons:
              a. Condition 28 is required to provide a quantifiable noise level of non-amplified
                  entertainment in the northern beer garden.
              b. Condition 42(f). The proposed End of Trip Facilities are required to encourage
                  users of the site including employees to access the site by alternative transport
                  modes. The absence of EOT facilities in the existing hotel does not justify non-
                  compliance in the proposed expansion. Staff may work across varied shifts, and
