Re: Letter of Complaint or Protest 
My name is Holbert Magitt. Owner of Kids R Our Future Preschool / Childcare located at 3002 N. Arizona 
Ave. Ste.16 & 20 Chandler, AZ. 85225. The Preschool facility has been in the community a little over 18 
years, providing an educational service to families with children from ages Infants through 5 years of age 
as well as a program for kindergarten through 6th grade from ages 5 -12 years of age. 
Currently we have concerns about a new company named SNKRHEADZ who is requesting to be a 
restaurant /Bar / Night Club that will be adjacent to both sides of our facility in the same business park. 
We are concerned about smoking during the daytime as parents and children pass through the walkway. 
We are also concerned that children can quite possibly encounter other inappropriate/ illegal things and 
items on the property left over from night parties. Also were concerned about possible violence due to 
disputes. SNKRHEADZ LLC is currently seeking a series 6 liquor license for Bar and Entertainment and 
night club. Over the past 18 years there have been several restaurants at this location that only had a 
series 12 liquor license, and we’ve had no problems or complaints. However, SNKRHEADZ has and will 
be advertising as a nightclub environment with explicit pictures and video with sexual gestures, hard 
liquor and other. Due to the health and safety of the kids we don’t believe that a series 6 license Bar and 
Entertainment liquor license for the nightclub component would be a good fit or influence near or next to 
an educational facility.  
However, we do believe that a SNKRHEADZ restaurant series 12 liquor license would be more 
environmentally friendly, as we’ve had several family friendly restaurants at this location over the years 
that had a series 12 liquor license only.   
On August 04, 2024, SNKRHEADZ had a soft opening advertising sexually explicit picture and video, after 
parties and more. During this event there were girls twerking on cars, wearing G-strings and bikini tops in 
the parking lot. There were also two security guards with bullet proof vests on at the front entrance who 
were frisking for weapons and asking for proof of identification upon entering. We also found 
paraphernalia such as a liquor bottle, hookah wrappers and half smoked cigar in the parking lot when the 
children arrived for school. Please see attached photos. 
Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S.) § 4-207(A) is a law that restricts the licensing of premises near schools 
and churches within a 300-foot radius: State of Arizona statute restricts the licensing for a series 6 liquor

2
license within 300 feet of a school. We are a state funded school that has ages from infants to 5 years old 
and a program for kindergarten through 6th grade. We also have an outdoor playground next door as well, 
and we're concerned for the safety of our children. There are also two religions institutions that are within 
300 feet of SNKRHEADS LLC as well. We don’t believe that the nightclub component would be a good fit 
nor good influence near or next to an educational facility with children.  
Separate from the Arizona Revision Statue of the liquor board. As an environmental concern for 
placement and planning businesses within the chandler community, we also look to the city of chandler 
for assistance with the concerns for a Bar/Entertainment/ Nightclub being adjacent to both sides of our 
school. Health, safety, and security of the kids are the general concern.  
We would like to thank you for your consideration,  
Holbert Magitt

    Report Suspicious    
Dear Mr. Manemann 
 
I am an owner of a townhouse across the street from the proposed establishment. 
 
Unfortunately, I more likely will not be able to attend the notice of the neighborhood meeting on 
September 17. 
 
I am not familiar with the noise ordinances in the City of Chandler, but I remember living about 3 blocks 
away from a bar that had live, outdoor music.  The heavy bass was not managed at the source and there 
was absolutely no way to filter it or mute it.  Heavy bass can cause cardiac arrest or heart attacks.  Loss 
of sleep due to noise can cause impaired glucose tolerance, cognitive impairment, depression, and 
anxiety.  The notice indicated that live music would be playing until 2am.  Many individuals still need to 
wake up early on the weekends.  I am not comfortable with an establishment having no curfew when 
people live close by. 
 
There are ways to use soundproofing so that the music does not bleed into the neighboring areas, 
although the effectiveness may be limited when the sound is outdoors.  If this business truly wants to be 
a good neighbor, some consideration should be made to turn down the volume after 10pm. 
 
Thank you for your consideration. 
 
Janice

MESA, AZ — Two people are dead and two more are injured after a 
shooting outside a Mesa bar. 
Just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Mesa police were called to The Lounge 
Soho, near Southern Avenue and Alma School Road, for reports of a 
shooting 
Two men were found lying in the parking lot area with obvious gunshot 
wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Mesa 
Police Sergeant Chuck Trapani. 
While searching the area, police found two more victims who had non-
life-threatening injuries. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment. 
Police have identified the two victims who died as Willie D'Angelo Love, 
23, of Maricopa, and Curtis Eugene West Jr., 25, of Phoenix.

When the first officers arrived at the scene, they saw a silver passenger 
car leaving the area at a high rate of speed. 
Officers followed that vehicle and were able to stop it down the street. 
Sgt. Trapani tells ABC15 there were no weapons located inside the car 
but while retracing the route, they located a weapon along the roadway. 
Three people inside the vehicle were detained. One person was released 
shortly after being detained and two others were arrested on charges 
unrelated to the shooting. 
Officials say the shooting happened in the parking lot of the business and 
several witnesses were questioned. 
It's unknown if the people involved knew each other or what led up to the 
shooting.

MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- Mesa police say three people have been detained after a shooting 
that left two men dead and 2 others hurt outside of a nightclub early Sunday morning. 
It started around 2:20 a.m. as officers responded to a shooting at the Lounge Soho near Southern 
Avenue and Longmore. As police showed up, they saw someone speeding off from the 
nightclub. Officers pursued the car, which ended six miles away at Southern Avenue and Hardy 
Drive. Authorities detained three people. Police say two men were found lying in the nightclub’s 
parking lot. Sgt. Chuck Trapani says the men died at the scene, and detectives are working on 
identifying them. Police also said two other people, including a security guard, were taken to the 
hospital but are expected to be okay.

Detectives are still working to piece together what led up to the shooting. Video from the scene 
showed much of the plaza blocked off with crime scene tape. Officers say they found a handgun 
close to the nightclub as they retraced the path of the vehicle pursuit. 
Sunday’s shooting comes just 24 hours after a shooting at a north Phoenix strip mall left a 14-
year-old girl dead and eight others seriously hurt. Less than a mile away from that shooting, a 
teenage boy was shot and killed outside his home. Detectives ask anyone with information, 
including those who might have heard or seen something, to come forward and help the police.
