Our<br />
concern is for excessive noise late at night as well as the potential for<br />
drunken drivers. Late-night restauranubar patrons are typically NOT<br />
families, and could potentially be more rowdylnoisier in the late<br />
nighVearly morning hours. In addition, bar patrons are also typically NOT<br />
families, and could also be noisier and driving with impaired<br />
judgement.<br />
We request closing times <strong>of</strong> no later than 11 :00 pm Mon-Sat<br />
and 10:OO pm Sunday, and outdoor dining ending by 10:OO pm nightly. This<br />

would turn <strong>of</strong>f the truck engine. Mr. Anderson stated that this is based on<br />
a single driver being assigned to this location with one particular<br />
delivery company. Furthermore, the driver would have keys to the<br />
restaurant so that he could place all foods in the cooler - all without<br />
supervision.<br />

pollution. It has been our experience that trucks making deliveries to<br />
other businesses in the area typically do keep the engines running during<br />
deliveries - this is noisy and increases air pollution.<br />
We request<br />
deliveries to occur no earlier than 7:00 am, with trucks parking ONLY on<br />
Mt. Vernon Avenue, engines <strong>of</strong>f. If the requested 4:00 am delivery time was<br />
approved, and if the 2:00 am closing time were also approved (employees not<br />
leaving until 2:30 or 3:00 am), then activity would occur at the restaurant<br />
for almost 24-hours daily. This is an unreasonable burden for the
