Mabel Lamb 2803 N Sherman Blvd stated she is very concerned and she agrees with
the previous speaker. She added that the premises could help disperse the students.
She stated that this area is a hotspot with 5 homicides in the past 18 months. She
added that she is very concerned about what is happening and the continuous loss of

Coree Coppinger 2700 N 45th St stated there have been issues for 5 years at the
premises. She added that when the premises took out the back wall they put
construction debris in her yard and her neighbor's yard. She stated that there has been

cooperating with Washington High School as a community stakeholder.
Ald. Lewis stated she is appalled by the applicant's laissez faire attitude and asking
for Washington High School to provide a security guard for the premises. She added
that it seems natural to oblige the request of the High School and close to students at
a certain time, especially when the applicant is aware that the premises is part of the
problem. She stated that it is incumbent as a business owner to uphold the quality of
life for the residents. She added that the applicant should be aware of what is
occurring around his building.
Ald. Coggs stated that when she was a student a Riverside University High School
businesses put signs on their doors saying that they would not serve students during

something they did as responsible businesses.
