Petition of Darlington National Little League, for license to conduct Circus, at Slater Park Field at the Newport Avenue entrance across from Ball Fields, on Friday, July 30, 1993, from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Speaking in favor is Kevin Thurber, 150 School Street, Pawtucket, RI, and Harvey Bertrand, 39 Jutras Street, Pawtucket, RI.
They represent the Darlington National Little League.
They state that there will be two shows of an old fashioned three ring circus.
The funds will benefit a new division of the league for special needs children.
They state that they need 120,000 square feet of land for the circus and this is the only available location for the date the circus is available.
They will do their best to address the concerns of the Council.
They understand that the neighbors are not receptive to the circus in this location.
Also speaking in favor is Roger Buteau, 769 York Avenue, Pawtucket, RI.
Mr. Buteau is a Member of the league.
He states that they need Council approval to raise the money for the special needs children to buy equipment, etc.
Also speaking in favor is Glen Birtwell, 134 Bucklin Street, Pawtucket, RI.
Mr. Birtwell states that he is a lifelong resident of Pawtucket and is involved with the league and he is requesting Council approval to help raise the money.
COUNCILOR DOYLE ARRIVES AT 8:10 PM.
Also speaking in favor is Elaine Bedrossian, 106 Gooding Street, Pawtucket, RI.
Ms. Bedrossian states that she has two children in the league and thinks that the circus is a great idea to raise money for special needs children.
Speaking in opposition is Mr. Ray McGee, 16 Loring Parkway, Pawtucket, RI.
Mr. McGee is very concerned that the circus is too close to peoples houses. They need a better location.
He questions whether the Parks Commission has reviewed this application and if not, why not?
Also speaking in opposition is Patricia Arden, 57 Hastings Avenue, Pawtucket, RI.
Ms. Arden states that she is opposed to a private company using park property for the circus. She states that abutting neighbors oppose this location.

Mr. DiPanni states that he is not opposed to the idea of the circus, but it needs a more suitable location. He commends the league on their efforts to create a new team for special needs children.
He is upset that the Parks Commission was not notified about this application.
Speaking in opposition is Lawrence Stonly, 34 Loring Parkway, Pawtucket, RI.
Mr. Stonly states that he appeared two years ago before the Council in opposition to the moving of the roadway near the Newport Avenue entrance to Slater Park because it would reduce the buffer zone near his street. He doesn’t believe that the circus should be held at this location.
He is concerned that if this petition is allowed, then more will follow.
There are no other speakers.
