So is your issue the noise or the outside seating ?
Cause I don't believe the town will put the squash on the seating as long as fences are up and they abide by THEIR  property lines.
I live up the hill from you so I know the noise thing your talking about ...but not as loud up here. |
Well the allowing of outside seating allows outside music and noise, so we are against both. They already have a permit for the outside music
No seating, then no reason for them to waste the electricity for the outside music
What I really do not like is that the town sent them a letter saying they had to comply by removing everything out in front before they could have a hearing and at this point, everyone, including the board, is ignoring this. I have a copy of the letter
See even up the hill you can hear it! imagine being right across the street!!!
Here are some of the issues I have with this:
• First the planning board told them to remove everything from the front lawn and they have not - blatant disregard
• Severe distraction to drivers
• Heightened danger to children and adults due to increased traffic (no sidewalks in that area)
• Heighted noise levels above what has already been continuously complained about
• more unwanted or dangerous lighting that would be out there on the Patio like blinking/flashing lights - club like atmosphere
• a unsafe area to have people gathering right beside a very busy road, actually a highway - Rt 3
• lowered property values for all those that are around it due to being beside a outside night club type place - bad enough trying to maintain value in this economy, but to then try to sell something beside a place with outdoor music/dancing at night in a family resort oriented area - for those that do not see this coming i have a question for you - would you buy a property next to a place that has outdoor music and seating area with no time restrictions?
• possibility of more drinking in a heavily populated area
• more traffic on a already extremely busy street
• Environmental impact of all these things above with wildlife and what not which is probably a reach but still could be a concern
