10 PM on weekdays. Even though at this Sept 2003 hearing where no speakers voiced concern over the late operating hours (vs. this time when there were several), at that time the Sept 2003 vote was 3 (Kameny, Roberts, Maas) to 2 (Sullivan, Ark/n) contingent upon the applicant having a legally binding valet parking agreement. Also, please note that though the Staff Report did not explicitly highlight differences in the proposed and previous project, that the project has a significant change from the original one proposed in Sept 2003. When Mr. Iserson originally brought this to the Planning Commission on Sept 2003, during the summary and in the minutes, Mr. Iserson noted that there would be no live entertainment, and that the background recorded music would not create a noise impact. In the new location on St Mary's Street, the applicant is proposing live bands or DJ music on Friday and Saturday from 9:45 PM to 1 AM. There are also differences regarding parking...in the previous proposal, the site had 20 dedicated on-site parking spaces with a plan to supplement with 23 more spaces for offsite and valet parking. The current proposal relies on the proximity of a public parking lot. In the previous Sept 2003 meeting minutes, the Crown's proposed owner indicated "IQ rcspoQsc to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Ms. Kay replied that the Danville pub was open until 2:00 a.m., but that they often closed by 1 a.m. during the week. She noted that they often closed at 10:30 p.m. from Monday to Wednesday, and at midnight on Thursday." Thus in the latest Planning Commission hearing, given the previous comments, I felt that the restaurant/pub could close at 11 PM on weekdays with no detrimental business impact (given in practice they close earlier in Danville anyway). Also, please also ensure that the City Council has information that Heidi provided to me verbally outside of the hearing regarding what the ordinances in regards to restaurants mean....that closing time does not mean the patrons leave by that time....such that if a restaurant closes at midnight and patrons arrive 5 or 10 minutes before closing their doors, patrons can order and then leave the establishment much later. Thanks, Anne Fox p,s. I will be forwarding this message to the City Council, but please place it in the packet available to the public when this matter is appealed to the City Council so that the public as well as the applicant wilt have an opportunity to see it.
