He said that he opposes to adding DJ and hosting live music. He added that the current security measures are sufficient. He also mentioned that there are videos available supporting his testimony.
Ald. Coggs said that there must be acceptance from the neighborhood and that she cannot support new stuff if there still issues on the works. She added that the she wants to recognize that there have been some improvement.
Caitlin Forsythe – 1846 N Vel R. Phillips - said that things improved, calmed down but that things have gotten wilder after March 1 with loud music, people blocking their garage, lined up and down the street. She added that next day at 9am, William and herself went out picking up garbage again and that the applicant came out after seeing them doing it. She also said that she was who e-mailed Ald.

Garret Kelly – 1846 N Vel R. Phillips - said that he is concerned about the disc jockey and bands because there is a real problem with large crowds, drinking and smoking outside and the illegal parking with the lanes being reduced. He added that the applicant has made a great effort keeping things the way it was prior rebranding it. He added that a neighborhood bar does not need a disc jockey and bands license.
All three witness said that they are not opposing to the renewal but the disc jockey and bands because of the availability to control the noise and the crowd.

Individuals also present:
Ald. Coggs said that she has gotten fewer complaints but that it shifted after the rebranding. She also said that she will work on temporary permits (case by case basis) in order to build up the trust between the applicant and the neighbors and for the applicant to show that she can manage the crowds/events.
Ald. Coggs asked the applicant to amend the application if there is a new partner and if she is aware of any of the issues that the neighbors talked about.
The applicant said that she will do it and that she is aware of the situations that neighbors talked about and that she is there every day even picking up garbage but that she does not do it at a specific time. She added that sometimes she feels that she is not given the opportunity to do it because they are on top of her. She also said that she has scheduled the monthly meeting with the neighbors, that she has not heard back from them and that the meeting will be held on April 1st.
Ald. Coggs said that she understands that the applicant wants to operate a successful business but that neighbors are also protecting their interests, well-being and investments and that is the reason why they are here.
