my name is bill weldon and i live at 656 broadway. i not only live here, but i also manage the apt complex in which i live. additionally, i am the owner's representitve with regards to this matter. we oppose the restaurant jack padilino's being allowed to have outdoor dining greater than 500 square feet and more than 24 seats. our city ordinance on outdoor dining was enacted in 2011 and provides that: “prior to business operation within an outdoor dining area, a permit shall be issued by the city”. it further states: “the seating capacity .. shall not exceed …. twenty-four (24) seats .. and shall not exceed five hundred (500) square feet, with the exception that a conditional use permit may be granted by the BAA ….” 656 broadway is a business just like jack padilinos, and should be afforded the same regard. we have to operate within existing city ordinances, and so should it. my concern is our business will be negatively impacted due to noise by such a large outdoor footprint.
