mostly as a result of live music. He stated that the establishment has been cooperative when
approached by the Police Department. Ms. Snyder stated that sound suppression measures
have been implemented. The music does not go past 10:00 p.m. The establishment is doing
what it can to contain the noise indoors.
Neighbor Brian Leair was also present. He lives across the street from the establishment. Mr.
Leair stated the live music violates the City's noise ordinance. It is disruptive to him and his
family. If Chewys cannot control the noise, the license that allows live music should not be
approved.

changed since 2003. She has modified her lifestyle to deal with the noise.
Mr. Bohr requested Mr. Leair contact him the next time he experiences an issue as a result of

measures. Then the situation will be reviewed three months after that.
