o Tony Rosati- 461 Griggs Place- He noted that the previous owner had an agreement to have the
  employees park offsite to try to relieve the parking situation and suggested that they do that with
  this application.
  o Joann Gearhart- 48 South Willow- She has concerns about parking and noise.
  o Sarah Taberski- 28 Hamlin- She has no problem with the work on the outside of the building but
  has concerns at the potential overflow of people in the area, the noise and her belief that there is
  a lack of police presence for non-emergency matters in that area.
  o Dan Dytchkowskj- 43 North Willow- He spoke about safety with increased traffic. He said that
  when there is snow, emergency vehicles can’t get down in those areas.
  o Greg Callahan- 206 West Fillmore- He has concerns about the potential noise, the hours of
  operation and the parking situation.
  o Jinx Griffin- 24 Hamlin- She has concerns about people on the sidewalk, the garage door being
  open and the noise.
  o Marilyn Scattoreggio- 418 Prospect – She said that she has a son that lives at 38 South Willow
  and read the village code for noise because she believes noise is an issue.
  o Holly Schintzius- 31 North Willow- She said that she is less concerned with the beautification of
  the property and said that quality of life is more important. She has concerns about this being a
  concert hall and the noise.
  o Tim Walton- Live Events Promoter - He is for the remodel and believes that parking and the
  noise will not change from the previous business. He said that it seems like more of a policing
  issue if people aren’t following the rules and that the ticket booth is just to maintain the crowds.
  o Vince Croblio- CJ Sound- He said that he is working with the applicant and asked if there were
  previous complaints about sound. He explained what he is doing to try and control the sound
  levels in the venue.
  o Mitch Sanic- He said that he is the designer for the renovations for the applicants and is working
  with the Village Code Enforcement department to get the building up to standard with the
  changes. He said that the intent and purpose of the business have not changed from what was
  there before. He said that there were code issues with the stairs that need to be addressed during
  the renovations. Trustee Lazickas asked about the drawing with the East and West direction and
  which side the door was going on. Mr. Sanic explained that it would be the Hamlin Street side.

  for this public hearing.
  o Karen Spencer- 31 Hamlin- She finished reading her letter, which is attached to the minutes.
  o Holly Schintzius- 31 North Willow- She has concerns with the hours of operation and that
