Chris came to our <br />neighborhood several years ago with a plan to revitalize a business in our area <br />that had existed since the 1920's. (Sporty's — 22nd and Como Ave SE) <br />He came to us with experience in the restaurant business, he knew what he <br />wanted. He focused on the neighborhood, the families and the people working in <br />the nearby businesses. <br />Chris had been incredibly responsive to the neighborhood including participating <br />in neighborhood events and serving on the neighborhood board. <br />A liquor license was not the issue, responsible ownership and management were. <br />He met all our expectations, people living nearby came and will come to his new <br />place if approved. There will be no concerns with the environment— noise, <br />crowd, etc. have never been an issue. He runs a very responsible business. <br />I would support his plan to revitalize a property I have driven by for years. <br />Thank you for listening. <br />
