Committee Questions /Comments:
Prefer 6 foot wrought -iron fence
If Urban Forestry requires six, 5 ft tall trees, no reason for 6 foot tall fence

Prefer sign on gate to say "emergency exit only"
Noise level should be kept low inspected /checked periodically
Lights music on patio must be turned off at completion of stated hours of operation
Type of behavior reported by neighbors —not good so close to residents to the east not in favor
Nippers patio addition would be market competitive and in keeping with other similar facilities

years she has been manager at this facility.
