Dear Sirs,
The few residents of our community who were informed about the
inquiry by the owner of the strip center at Townes Road and FM 528,
wish to express our alarm at the very consideration of opening
a bar in this location again.
We understand the city sent out only twenty letters to
residents regarding this request .
Those of us who have lived close to the old "Henry Wayne' s"
located in this strip center, urge you to consider us, the
residents, tax payer and voters of this subdivision. We have had
enough of the unpleasant atmosphere created by a bar so close to
our residences . The noise, the unpleasant persons coming and going
from the bar, the music and fights that come tumbling out of the
back door as it is left open, prevent some of us from even using
our back yards and patios . The printout from the police department ;
will show that there were frequent calls to this location.
We understand the city charter offers us relief from these '
problems . However we were informed that Planning and Zoning can '
recommend that a variance be issued to set aside this regulation to
again allow a bar in this location. We urge you not to do so.
We appreciate what you do for our community and your attempt '
to protect our property values and provide for orderly growth for
our city. Therefore, we ask that you consider the petitions ,
submitted to you, along with the police report of calls to the old ,
bar at this location, when making your decision.
The residents of our community feel we need and deserve the ;
protection of the city charter and ordinances in this matter.
We feel sure none of you representing the city would appreciate ;
such a nuisance twenty-five feet from your back yard. I
Please, for our sake, say no to any variance of the charter orl
ordinances regarding the opening of a bar in this location again. ,
Yours truly,
��

REQUEST BY SUNGHIN(3 LUNG,REQUESTING INTERPRETATION BY CITY STAFF OF
PERMITTED USE PERMIT USE#5813,DRINKING PLACES NOT ALLOWED IN
NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICTS AND SECTION 6.E.4. I WOULD LIKE TO RECORD MY PROTEST
ABOUT ALLOWING SUCH A PERMIT. I AM A PROPERTY OWNER WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE
THIS PROPOSED"DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT". I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY PROPERTY AND
ONE OF THE REASONS I PICKED THIS AREA WAS THAT THERE WAS NO PLACES I=THIS
IN THE NEAR AREA. I ALSO FEEL THAT IF SUCH A ESTABLISHMENT IS ALLOWED TO BE IN
BUSINESS. IT WILL LOWER MY PROPERTY VALUES. I ALSO FEEL THAT SUCH A PLACE j
WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN CRIME IS OUR AREA. RIGHT NOW I FEEL SAFE WALKING i
MY DOG IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD,BUT IF A DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT IS ALLOWED TO
BE OPENED,I WOULD HESITATE TO DO SO. I DID NOT MOVE HERE TO BE IN FEAR OF
EVEN WALKING OUTSIDE MYRESIDENCE. I ALSO WOULD FEAR FOR MY PROPERTY TO BE
VANDALIZED,STOLEN,AND I WOULD EVEN BE IN FEAR OF MY LIFE. ALLOWING SUCH A j
PLACE TO BE OPENED IN A RESIDa-41TIAL AREA IS ONLY ASTiiING FOR TROUBLE. I
IF YOU NEED TO TALK TOME,PLEASE DO NOT HEST 1 A l r TO CALL WE AT HOME OR AT

Deloris McKenzie,City Secretary,
City of Friendswood
910 South Friendswood Drive
Friendswood,Texas 77546-4856
Dear Ms.McKenzie:
Yesterday I received a notice about a Docketed Public Hearing of the Friendswood Zoning Board
to consider a request for a variance to the existing zoning code which does not allow drinking
places in Neighborhood Districts. This public meeting is to be held on November 19, 1996.
Although I strenuously object to granting a variance that would allow a drinking place virtually in
my back yard,I will be out of town on that date,so unable to attend the meeting to state my
objections. Therefore I am writing this letter to inform the Zoning Board of my feelings. I do not
think that it is right to have a business licensed to sell beer and liquor by the drink in a residential
community. I believe that the value of my property will decrease and the safety and quality of my
life will suffer.
When this area was unincorporated(before it was annexed by Friendswood),there was one such
drinking place,Henry Wayne's,at or near the currently proposed location. I know of many {
problems that arose from its presence. Police were called to this place of business numerous times ;
because of violence. I was afraid when I walked my dog at night because of the type of people
drawn to the drinking place just six to ten feet from a chain link fence separating the business from
the townhouse drive. The back door was often left open and while walking the dog,I was visible I
to the people drinking inside. Noise from this open back door was also a frequent problem. Trash
(including empty bottles and cans)outside the back door was a constant eyesore and potential
health hazard.
There are many women living alone in the Forestb6nd Townhouse community who will feel
threatened by the security risks resulting from type of customer drawn to a drinking establishment.
Drunk driving is a problem everywhere,but especially in residential streets.
Historically,Friendswood has had few liquor stores or drinking places; this is a tradition to be
proud of and to continue. I do not believe a drinking place is of any benefit to any residential
community, and this is especially true for a neighborhood in Friendswood which has always
supported family values. I hope that the Zoning Board will consider these objections and not grant
a variance to Sunghing Lung allowing a drinking place in this neighborhood district.
Sin erely your
i
