Hello Folks,
I live right across from the courts and the noise goes right in our homes - some homes as far as a block over. In all these
years, they have not monitored the noise or parking. They say they do - yet do not.
leaving the place open in an area with homes is inviting trouble. I guarantee you if you lived there you would stop the late
night activity. Remember how this place started - for a bunch of locals to get together. Not a full up commercial place.
The employees park on my side of the street so they are there all day or whenever their shift is done. Not moving traffic as
a patron. So, they went back on their word that they would have employees park on their side of the street. At one point is
was considered to change to permit parking. I really do not want to do this but to be just - they should just start with their
side of the street. if this situation does not change then maybe back to permit parking.
I do not in any form or way want to shut them down. I just want all to realize they are in the middle of homes. The
building in back of them - the Realtor - was to have the top of their place for apartments. That was ruled that way. Because
of all the noise the folks could not live there. So it is back to offices - this should be considered a reason not to leave it open
late.
Remember, the garbage folks come at 6 for the Boce's garbage and recycles - so with that in mind consider if they stay open
late - make noise to wake the homes and then the garbage trucks come - not a good nights sleep any day of the week.
THAT LEAVES MAYBE 5 HOURS OF SLEEP.
Chris
