Pork Barrel SUP 2010-01 1
I encourage the Council to follow the City Planning and Zoning Committee
recommendation when voting on the SUP noted above (Pork Barrel). This
recommendation would permit the establishment to close at 1 lpm on
"school/work days" (with outdoor seating ending at 10pm) and
midnight on weekends. I appreciate that during hard economic times there
is tremendous pressure on many, including this Council, to take measures
that are business-friendly. I ask that you gather your courage to do the
right thing -which in my view - and the view of many residents of Del Ray
- is to maintain the integrity of this neighborhood. I am certain that if
this SUP is approved as requested. Del Ray will never be the same. It is
without question that the other restaurants will follow suit - and if this
SUP is approved -what basis will anyone have to stop all restaurants from
staying open until Zam?? This is not the neighborhood that we bought into.
I didn't want to live in Old Town or Georgetown. I wanted to live in a
neighborhood that felt like a small town.
