The applicant stated that he is not sure of the fight referenced by Ms. Green. He stated that he has reached out to Ms. Green and offered to bring her into the store. He offered to come to her home if she feels uncomfortable. He stated that he asked Mr. Tony why he would come to the meeting against him if he didn't want to work with him. He stated that he reports the loitering to the police, provides footage, and security records of incidents. He stated that he's owned it for approximately 15 years and it's been family-owned for over 35 years. He stated that it takes time to clear up the issues and he's been working to address them. He stated that he is willing to work with those in opposition, but they need to be willing to work with him in return. He stated that he will continue to reach out to those in opposition. The applicant agreed to keep the Outreach Coordinator intact and to add to the current Plan of Operation.
Appearing with the applicant:
Atty. Jeffrey Guerard stated that the applicant has hired additional security guards, addressed loitering issues by filing injunctions against perpetrators. He stated that the applicant has installed 49 security cameras to improve surveillance and can be viewed by phone at any time. He asked Ms. Green the time when she sees the fights. He asked Mr. Tony if he's attended any safety meetings in the last year and what time did he witness the loitering on Sunday. He stated that the injunction the applicant is filing is to address the loitering issues and three injunctions have been filed to date. He stated that the injunctions are filed to prohibit the return of violators who are involved in drug dealing and threatening the life of the applicant. He stated that the police were provided access to the cameras for the time requested, not 24 hours access until after the previous hearing. He stated that the 24 hour camera access assisted the police with several arrests and that the name of the store will be changed by the applicant. He stated that those that are in support live in close proximity of the premises.

He stated that he is a part of the community and attended several community meetings. He stated that those closest to the premises are the ones that have direct testimony on what actually takes place at and around the establishment and some weight should be given to that testimony. He stated that he has reviewed videos, visited the neighborhood, and witnessed significant improvement. He stated that the applicant funds the outreach coordinator.
