“Report Suspicious_|

| would like to submit a comment/petition against 309 Sports Lounge located at 2050 West Guadalupe
road Mesa, AZ 85202 for obtaining a Series 12 liquor license.

| currently live within a 1 mi radius of the establishment and have experience continuous disruptions due

to late night music, noise levels in the parking lots and ongoing disturbances nearby.

| currently oppose a late night bar / nightclub style operation at this location and encourage a restaurant -
focused environment rather than a bar for the preservation of my neighborhood, peace and safety.

Thank you,

| reside directly behind this location and experienced
extreme stress in both my personal and work life while
the location held a liquor license under Las Casa Del
Las Flores. The proximity to both my residence (less
than 100 ft) caused countless sleepless nights and an
strain on my relationships and career as a result. When
the prior business closed, my home life finally became
normal again and | could once again sleep. A person's
home should be a place that a person can relax in.
Having a sports bar at such an extreme closeness to a
residential neighborhood AND daycare are totally
inappropriate. The result will be another large strain on
community resources, resulting in, yet again,
countless calls to Mesa PD. Please consider the
wellbeing of your residents, especially those of us who
live directly behind this location. Please consider who
very close it is to the bedroom windows of your
community members and the hours it will be open.
Please consider the nature of the business and the
clientele it will draw. Please consider its proximity to a
daycare/school and please do not allow for it to
happen. | beg you.

Basis of Petition

| am the owner of the home at 2109 W Nopal Ave in
Mesa, AZ. My residence is directly behind the establish
applying for a liquor license. Many years ago, there was
a family restaurant in this location with reasonable
hours and they were a courteous and respectful
neighbor. There was never any issues with them, no
safety, sound or trash issues. After that place left, Casa
De Las Flores moved in and it became my worst
nightmare. Not only was it impossible to sleep, it
became difficult to LIVE behind the establishment. So

a |
een too became a problem as my renters

complained, | delt with negative reviews and eventually
lost the ability to rent my home out. The location is less
than 50 feet behind my bedroom window. Sound and
crowds and serious concerns. Having a liquor license in
that location has cost me tremendously. Not just
financially; with property value loss and loss of a rental
income, but also severely in my health and well being.
The intimate proximity to the location means the only
possible establishment options for zoning
considerations that will remain respectful and safe.
Granting a liquor license to this location guarantees
that Mesa Police will receive repeated calls, noise
complaints and safety concerns that will need to be
addressed. While there are other businesses behind my
home none have ever been an issue. The only problems
have been with the last one that held a liquor license. |
beg you to not grant one again to this location. Having a

loud sports bar next to a daycare and homes would be
irresponsible. | am sure you are aware that O'Kelly's
operates near by but is NOT as close to any homes
sleeping quarters as 2050 W Guadalupe Rd and
therefore does not cause the same concerns. Please do
not jeopardize the health and safety of our
neighborhood and the children and family's who reside
here by granting the license for this location.

The neighborhood directly to the north of 2050 W.
Guadalupe Rd, suffered terribly from the previous
business in this spot (La Casa de las Flores). Weekends
were dreaded because of the noise from 10pm - 2am.
Intoxicated patrons then sat in their cars and continued
partying while restaurant staff repeatedly slammed the
back door and then hung out in the back of the
restaurant in the alley talking loudly and smoking. The
weekend disturbances were the bane of the
neighborhood because people couldn't sleep.

A sports lounge/bar is even noisier than a regular bar as
the noise spikes during games. The amplified sound,
multiple TVs, and late-night crowds should not be
adjacent to residential area. Please protect our
community. We can't take more sleepless weekends.
