He stated the police showed up and he requested a citation be issued. He stated he is 3 store fronts away and more than 50 ft, but the police never entered his home to hear the music or feel the bass. He stated there are ADA concerns because there was a canopy obstructing the entire sidewalk with only 2 ft to walk and sometimes there are theater ropes up. He stated the canopy has come down and it's a little dicey walking around after midnight with people thinking others are cutting the line. He added there is trash and vomit after Friday and Saturday nights. He stated that he was told by the premises that sound proofing is expensive and he has trouble sleeping. Erin Donnegan 715 N Milwaukee St Unit 304 stated the club noise has gotten worse over the past year and her quality of life has decreased drastically.

She stated she is unable to get enough sleep because of the noise, and earplugs or headphones do not work. She stated she can feel the bass in her bed at night. She stated when she moved in The Garden was only used for special events, but now it's open every night for overflow. She stated she called the police and they responded. She stated the noise is every Thursday-Saturday. Individuals present in support: Jacqueline Bornek 715 N Milwaukee St Unit 305 stated she had her windows replaced in September and she does not have any shared walls with the premises. She stated there was a lot of noise before her windows were replaced. She stated she can hear mild bass, but it has not affected her. She stated she has had issues with people parking in the alley, but the manager is responsive and offer her their parking space. She stated she doesn't want any more vacant storefronts on Milwaukee St. She stated her bedroom is adjacent to the premises and she could hear bass and people yelling in the alley before she replaced her windows Reynaldo Franklin 826 N Cass St stated he is the head security guard outside and his employees clean up prior to leaving on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. He stated the canopy is for weather purposes only and leaves 5 ft of space to walk and wheelchairs can get through. He stated the canopy and ropes are not up all night. He stated complainants should contact the manager. He stated the premises is a safe and fun environment for everyone. Individual also present: Ald. Bauman stated there was testimony from two very credible witnesses about the noise who have no economic interest in the premises, who just want to live next door, live their lives, and sleep a normal amount of sleep. He stated there is nothing they can do to quietly enjoy their homes. He stated it is totally unacceptable that the noise is affecting their quality of life. He stated the sound proofing of the premises needs to be completely reengineered. He recommends a 30 day suspension. Ald. Coggs stated she hopes that the owner is responsive to resident complaints and isn't blocking the sidewalk or impeding the ability for people to walk down the sidewalk. She asked if anyone has been brought in to address noise mitigation. Ald. Witkowski stated there have been two written warnings for the premises previously. Ald. Witkowski moved approval with a 15 day suspension based on neighborhood testimony. (Prevailed 3-1-1, Ald. Coggs voting no, Ald. Lewis abstaining)
