I apologize for any duplication of emails; you may have a prior email from me on this subject which is incomplete. Please disregard any prior emails on this subject. Set forth below are my comments: We've resided on E. Oxford Avenue in Del Ray for almost 30 years and have greatly appreciated and benefited from the improvements to Del Ray and Mt. Vernon Ave that have occurred over the years. We survived Mac's bar and finding drunks asleep on our front porch, and now enjoy a wide variety of amenities that make Del Ray one of the best neighborhoods in the metro-DC area! We're excited about having even more variety in restaurant options in our immediate Del Ray neighborhood. However, we're compelled to share with you our concerns about the special use permit (SUP) requested at 2312 Mt. Vernon Ave (tax
map reference 034.02-08-08). My neighbors and I are very concerned about the Hog Thaid SUP application. The applicant has asked to be open until 2am seven nights a week in a commercially low zoned area subject to the Mount Vernon Overlay. Restaurants in this area are not open past 1 lpm during the week and 12am on weekends. The applicant is asking for a precedent-setting change which will, if granted, be requested and followed by every other restaurant on Mount Vernon Avenue. We believe this would change the nature of Del Ray and convert what has become a wonderful example of mixed use living into (eventually) a strip of late night bars. Unfortunately, once restaurants have late hours, they typically sell more alcohol, landlords see their success and raise rents. Eventually, the only tenants who can afford these rents are bars, and the small businesses and retail stores are forced out. Late night bars often also result in higher crime rates -- something we just don't need in Del Ray. We very much do not want to lose the family friendly mixed use neighborhood we, and the City, have created. Until now, we have relied on the commercial low zoning and Mount Vernon overlay to protect us. However, with the downturn in the economy, we sense that Planning and Zoning and the City may be willing to make a short-sighted accommodation to a known and well-liked restaurant ~ ~ operator, ~ Mike Anderson. ~ We are ~ concerned that ~ this accommodation t ~ will : have terrible long term consequences as the SUP can be transferred via an administrative application to another operator, and the accommodations given a well-known and liked operator may eventually fall into the hands of someone much less experienced. The combination of alcohol and late night hours is not a good one. We are also concerned, again, about a precedent-setting deviation from the zoning requirements. While we loo are impressed by Mike Anderson, we cannot rely on him to ensure that Mount
