ATTACHMENT 4 5 &,ommons EXECUTIVE HOMES CORPORATE LEASING To the City of Pleasanton, Planning Department; We own and operate the 4 homes on Peters Avenue addresses 738 -762, and the duplex on the corner of Peters and St. John; 520 -A and 520 -B St. John. These are executive and corporate lease properties with exquisite interiors and continually well kept exteriors. Our clientele choose to live there for the ambiance and are dismayed by i! the prospect of loud music until late every night, drinking until 2:00 AM and the crowd of individuals that will unfortunately entice. While our company certainly understands the need to offset the situation our current economy has brought to the nation's businesses, there needs to be a compromise between the needs of one company and the needs of the surrounding community. In all the homes surrounding Barone's Restaurant, not just K Commons owned homes, families and individuals live who must sleep at night in order to be fresh in the morning to go to work and make their living. There are school aged children who should be abed early. When music is so loud as to be a disturbance to the nearby families enjoyment of life, and their actual health needs, then it is beyond acceptable. We believe that a compromise would be to only allow music on certain nights, not every night, music should be inside the Barone's building, but not on the deck nor in the back yard. Barone's actually has a large parcel and could build a hall on their land to accommodate music played at a later hour, with proper soundproofing. The residents at 520 -A St. Johns have just moved into our property. They have already experienced broken bottles by their front door, in the plants. They are extremely upset by the prospect of music to late hours and drinking until 2:00 AM. Regardless of their just moving in, they are giving us their notice that, if the change is permitted, our residence is now not a pleasant place to live, and they will be vacating! This puts a restraint of trade on our continuing to do business in Pleasanton. The Town's Council and Planning Department must realize that residential property that abuts commercial property needs to have very special conditions in order for all to live and work together amicably. We hereby petition the Pleasanton Town Council and The Pleasanton Planning Department to modify the conditional use permit provided to Barone's Restaurant; to music played until 10:00 PM Friday and Saturday nights, until/or when they build or provide a soundproof building in which to hold music events that do not disturb the neighborhood. We also hereby P.B. Box 20385 CastroValley, CA 94546 (510) 727 -1800
