Vernon Avenue does not eventually become a late night bar strip. We must
rely on the commercial low zoning and the Planning and Zoning Board, the
Mayor, and the City Council to follow the law on this point and to
safeguard Alexandria's citizens.
My neighbors and I have reviewed the
SUP application in depth, and set forth below are our requests for a
reasonable compromise. These have also been raised with the Del Ray Land
Use Committee and Barbara Ross at Planning and Zoning:
(i) change in
hours SO that the restaurant closes by or before 10:OOpm nightly (or at a
minimum closing at 10:OOpm Sunday through Thursday, and closing at 11 :00 pm
Friday through Saturday, with any outdoor dining to end every night by
10:OOpm).
(ii) change in the cooker operationlventilation to minimize
the exposure to residents of smoke and cooking odorslpollutants),
(iii)
restrictions on live entertainment and noise levels (no audible noise from
property line);
(iv) outdoor dining tables limited and hours of
operation ceasing by 10:OOpm daily.
We ask that you take the above into
consideration when reviewing the SUP application and most importantly limit
the hours of operation during the worklschool week to an 10pm closing (10pm
closing on the patio).
Respectfully Submitted,
Linda Jacobs and Bruce
