L�IIltSl l 1'1 <br /> � • • ' e <br /> B o <br /> '�a�a Mr. Moorse <br /> �e�ovs: Chief Good <br /> �c�: Planning Commission <br /> ��s��: June 20, 2005 <br /> ��s Proposed Expansion of the Narrows Saloon <br /> The Police Department llas reviewed the proposed expansion of the Nanows Saloon. There <br /> are several concerns we wish to lugl�light, as part of the City's review of the application for <br /> expansion. <br /> From a public safety perspective, more people and more alcohol nearly always increases the <br /> need for police resources. With a larger crowd, we are concerned about additional calls for <br /> service regarding noise,DWI, accidents, etc. <br /> We have had some experience ui working with the current proprietor of the Narrows, and we <br /> have had some concerns regarding his timely and thoughtful response to our requests. It is <br /> important to puUlic safety that the owners of establishments that serve alcohol maintain an <br /> excellent relationship with local law enforcement. <br /> The proprietor has been Lu�able to contain either the noise ulside the restaLU�ant or the noise <br /> made by the loud, non-stock mufflers on the motorcycles driven by customers of the <br /> restaurant. The proprietor has also been unaUle to lceep motorcycles from parking on the <br /> sidewallc. <br /> Residents in the area are conceined about noise, litter, parking a.nd safety. Calls for service <br /> and calls regarding quality of life issues are al�eady beuig handled by the Police Department, <br /> and we would expect tlus to increase with a larger operation. <br /> We also wa�it to address the proposed outdoor seating from ihe public safety prospective. We <br /> would want to lcnow how people in tl7e outdoor seating areas, either adjacent to County Road <br /> 15, or adjacent to the parlcing lot, would be protected froin potential accidents. The area <br /> would need to be monitored for safety as well as litter. <br /> 1 <br />
