I still object to the entrance on Hermosa as noted in the latest version of the neighborhood commitment letter. If residents will be walking to the establishment, they should be able to take a few more steps around the corner to the front door of High and Dry. We all walk to businesses on Central now, so why are a few more steps to the Copper entrance so objectionable? The Hermosa door should be an emergency only exit as I have stated at the first meeting and also in writing to Consensus Planning. 

As the neighborhood commitment letter states, there will be frequent musical groups playing on the patio facing Copper during good weather. We will be able to clearly hear every note of every song. During Somerfest in Nob Hill last Saturday, we could clearly hear the music in the parking lot of Fan Tang several blocks away, and that's only once a year!

Let me ask you this, neighbors. Would you want High and Dry directly across the street from your home? Think about it. With all that said, my wife and I have agreed to accept High and Dry with two conditions; 1) No entrance or patio on Hermosa and 2) No parking on Hermosa beyond the existing off-street parking spaces that currently exist.
