Hog Thaid
I would like to reiterate some of my thoughts/comments from the recent Del
Ray Citizens Association meeting. I feel that the recommended restrictions
on hours and other aspects (such as outdoor seating) of Hog Thaid are
inappropriateiy restrictive. The staff recommendations are for hours more
restrictive than existing restaurants even after the owners have made
numerous other concessions on noise, outdoor seating and traffic flow
Just tonight, I noticed I could hear the church music from half way down
the street, but this establishment has agreed to restrict noise at the
property line. I believe the standards should be equitable among all
establishments new and old. I would also like to note that numerous
residents, myself included, have spoken up in favor of late night dinning
options. Some of us don't get home from work until after most of the other
establishments have closed. I also strongly endorse Del Ray as an
environment where businesses and residences co-exist in close proximity,
and I favor giving the businesses sufficient latitude to survive in these
tough economic times. I suspect that economics will preclude this business
