Dear Committee members,

I am sending this email in hopes that you will not grant a liquor license for 
the proposed store at 1935 Monroe Street. 

As almost five-year resident in the neighborhood, I feel strongly that the 
1800 and 1900 blocks of Monroe street have become saturated with 
establishments offering alcohol purchases for carry-out. Granting such a 
license for a store with a business plan that caters primarily to the Football 
crowds is not only an unsustainable model, but one that will contribute 
negatively to the development of the area whose residents would rather work 
with the owners to get something that will be beneficial to the entire 
neighborhood. I and others also have concerns that the store's carry-out 
business model would not only increase liter problems in residential yards, 
streets, and alleys, but also increase potential underage drinking with the 
store's proximity to Edgewood collage students. 

Thank you for your time,

Matt Schultz
1822 Madison Street
