From: Ben Sidran [ben@bensidran.com] Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 12:30 PM To: licensing Cc: Kerr, Julia Subject: re: application for a liquor store at 1935 Monroe St To whom it may concern: As a long time resident of this Monroe St. neighborhood I am writing to oppose the application to open a liquor store at 1935 Monroe St. I am opposed for several reasons: (1) there are numerous alternative venues to purchase alcohol in the neighborhood (2) the proposed location is directly across the street from a women's shelter which seems inappropriate (3) the neighborhood is already seeing an increase of alcohol related noise complaints, particularly from students at nearby Edgewood college. Thank you for your time and consideration, Sincerely Ben Sidran
