Hi Mr Crompton,
I cannot be at the meeting on Oct 8th because it falls right in the middle of my De la Salle
drop-off. I am the owner of Blossom&Root which opened in Aug 2023 in the Danville Hotel
building. I would LOVE to have additional free outdoor seating and be able to build a covered
structure in the road like other restaurants have been allowed to do. I park in the Lunardi's
employee section when I go to work and I walk past the several parking spaces long seating
area of Danville Brewing and am not a little jealous. When I was looking for a site to open
my restaurant, I looked at the unit where Eye For Pretty is (Hazy BBQ/Spenga share the
parking area) and looked into converting parking spaces for an outdoor seating area. This
would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars which other restaurants were not required to
pay for their additional seating. It was this added cost that led me to reject that site which was
otherwise awesome.
I feel that it should be free for everyone, or everyone needs to be purchasing the spaces like
would have been required of me. An even playing field would be awesome for competition
and growth. Thanks, Susan
