Update

Just wanted to update you all, after getting a couple of requests on the status of our application. We have not been scheduled to go before the Common Council yet. We have asked that they hold our application over so we can continue to work with neighbors who have thoughts and concerns regarding the proposal. We have been meeting with folks individually and in small groups, and will continue to do so for the next few weeks.

Please check back for more information.

THANKS...

to all of you who attended our neighborhood meeting today. Your feedback was appreciated. We hope some of you will contact us to follow up on many of the discussions that began this afternoon.

Please continue to let us know as questions arise; I answer them as quickly as I am able. We will also keep you updated as this process continues.

Thanks again.

PARKING

Parking for our patrons and employees is a key part of our proposal. We want our patrons to be able to park conveniently, but we also wanted to mitigate the impact of additional cars in a neighborhood where parking is already very limited.

We will have more than 100 patron parking spots, off the street, on our property. In addition, we will have two remote lots. These lots will accomodate our overflow patron parking and valet service as well as our employees.

Finally, we are contracting with the same valet service that provides service for the Milwaukee Street businesses. That street is home to 9 of the citiy's most popular bars and restaurants , and has NO parking capacity. That valet service has been intrumental in making sure there are no parking or congestion problems on that street despite the fact that those establishments draw thousands of people to Milwaukee on any given evening.

Neighborhood Meeting

I have gotten a couple of requests for information about the community meeting.

We will be holding a community meeting on Saturday, August 29th from 1-2pm at the property at 117 West Pittsburgh Avenue.

Flyers were mailed to all adresses within a one mile radius of the proposed property on Friday.

JOB CREATION

The development of SATIN will bring more than 100 NEW jobs to the downtown area. In addition, we will employ more than 150 independent contractors to provide entertainment, security and other services at our club.

For more information on our development plans, please come to our neighborhood meeting on Saturday August 29, 2009 from 1-2pm. The meeting will be held at the 117 West Pittsburgh Ave. facility.
