From: Janine Edwards <br /> Sent: Sunday, November 15, 2009 4:05 PM <br /> To: Donna Decker; Steve Otto <br /> Cc: Mari Kennard <br /> Subject: Redcoats Pub <br /> Dear Mr. Otto and Ms. Decker: <br /> We are writing on behalf of Redcoats Pub on St. Mary's St. We understand that Redcoats has applied for <br /> permission to have music inside on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 9 -12pm and there is some <br /> opposition to this. We think it is very reasonable to have music indoors at the restaurant on Wednesday and <br /> Thursday nights from 9 -12pm. It provides the following: <br /> 1) Nightlife for adults who don't want to travel to Walnut Creek; <br /> 2) The Wed Thursday music nights would allow Redcoats to diversify their offering to serve different <br /> interests age groups, thus bringing more people to downtown Pleasanton; <br /> 3) A safe, well run gathering place for adults of all ages in our community; <br /> We are also opposed to closing Redcoats patio at 10pm on nights they have indoor music. <br /> The opposition being considered for Redcoats seems unreasonable and inconsistent for a downtown <br /> establishment. Redcoats has been a welcome addition to the restaurant offerings and gathering places for <br /> Pleasanton. Recoats is very well run and should be allowed to have indoor music until midnight during the <br /> week and have their patio open until closing every night. Ms. Kennard is a very professional <br /> businesswoman and offers very good value for our entertainment dollars spent at Redcoats. We have had <br /> the pleasure of bringing friends from Livermore and San Ramon to Redcoats and all have voiced envy of our <br /> easy access to Redcoats, and Pleasanton's increasingly diverse downtown. <br /> Living downtown is a lifestyle choice. It has been nice to see Pleasanton more lively lately, even with the <br /> recession. Let's not turn off the lights early again, just when we've started gaining momentum for our <br /> downtown. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. We will attend the meeting on Wed. if we can and voice these opinions in <br /> person. <br /> Janine John Edwards <br /> SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br /> Provided to the Planning Commission <br /> After Distribution of Packet <br /> IG <br /> Date Distributed: <br />
