The report and the applicants letter describe the location site location and surrounding area as industrial, whichi is technically true fort the restaurant parcel but within at few hundred feet is a very large quiet residential neighborhood. lunderstand that expanding their outdoor dining doesn't require additional parking, but Ithink our commissioners should take a close look at how poorly the existing parking situation is. I live in the abutting Freedom Home neighborhood, I've had too many close encounters with pedestrians jaywalking in both directions across 19th to get to this and the other two establishments nearby because most oft their patrons are parkingi in the lot across the street.

Our property management company has had multiple conversations withi the managers of these businesses, they frequently have to resort to towing unauthorized vehicles, often causing a large group of patrons to rush back and move their cars. This creates al hazardous situation where individuals, int their urgency, may cross the street unsafely, Given that the surrounding streets are largely permit-only and parking is already extremely limited, there lies the question as to where these additional patrons, as well as the employees, will be expected to parks should the proposed expansion be approved. Without an adequate parking solution, it's feared the burden will continue to fall on our nearby establishment. your attention for consideration: increasing the risk of accidents--something that could become al liability issue. property, adding to our operational expenses and exposing us to greater risks. U understand the Planning Department's role in making informed decisions, and Itrust your expertise in addressing these kinds of concerns. Irespectfully request that you consider thei impact on established businesses like ours, which may face undue hardship ift this application is approved without a viable plan for mitigating these issues. Again, to reiterate our concerns: Liability for people crossing the street, especially intoxicated. Fear that someone will get hit bya a car parkingi in our loti illegally, taking parking spaces for our customers causing the center additional expenses including being forced tol hire security which costs are substantial and placed unfairly on the tenant's causing issues between neighboring businesses approval will most like cause other businesses to have the same request.
