    I live at 541 E. Erie Street and I oppose agenda items #211529 and #211537. This zoning change is only being done to allow the music venue to be built in our residential neighborhood. It wouldn't be allowed in any other residential neighborhood in Milwaukee. Why are you allowing it to be built in ours?

    I live at 311 E. Erie St. and I disagree with #211529 and #211537. The third ward is not meant to be a mega-complex destination. Instead it is an artistic and low key destination for art galleries, smaller music venues and boutique shops. Large buildings over 75 ft tall and concert venues need to be put in the Deer District where they have the many more streets, parking structures, hotels and bars to support that endeavor. Changing the zoning to downtown mixed use will change what drew me to the third ward: a quiet, quaint neighborhood where I see my neighbors on the streets and I don't have to sit in endless traffic to get from the expressway to Erie street. Summerfest offers an opportunity to see great shows and I don't see the need to have additional concerns venues built in our small neighborhood.

    I live at MTL 311 E Erie St and work in an office condo on Catalano Square. I oppose the construction of this FPC concert venue both because of the parking and traffic considerations in the Third Ward that do not allow such an ongoing proposed use to operate safely and fairly with the other commerce and residential needs already the neighborhood. I am also opposed to a non tax paying venue different that the live music venues nearby that already provide entertainment and revenue.

    I would like to oppose both #211529 and #211537. These zoning changes do not, in any way, address the challenges of living in The Third Ward, particularly the neighborhood bordering Summerfest. Additional research, as well as meetings with residents, needs to take place before any zoning changes occur.

    I am formally submitting my opposition to Ordinance 211537. The ordinance is incomprehensible as to what it actually means, is poorly written and has not been brought up to the constituents of the 3rd Ward who are affected by the proposed ordinance. Not only must our Alderman explain why this hasn’t been addressed before showing up as a formal vote to the City Planning Commission, but the Alderman’s intent should be explained to his constituents.

    I oppose CC #211529 and #211537. As I understand it, the proposed music venue is allowed under the current zoning. With the proposed zoning change, the music venue would not be allowed. I do not want the music venue to be built in our neighborhood.

    II do not support this zoning change. It will not improve the quality of life the the Third Ward. Items 211529 and 211537

    Oppose CC #211529 because it is incomprehensibly written and therefore not fully understood by the neighborhood residents it impacts; because it fails to establish appropriate & realistic parking requirements for the proposed 4800- person FPC venue; and because it artificially carves a "throughfare" through already designated PK & C9G zones currently acknowledged as residential areas whose light manufacturing and warehouses have long since been converted to residential, office & retail uses. Additionally oppose CC #211537. Limited use classification ought to trigger at a 300-500 person capacity in accordance with other local 3rd Ward area theaters. Further the definition of a theater in this ordinance ought to be defined as a theater with a certain SEATED capacity as opposed to some standing assembly pit.

    This zoning change ignores the impact that it will have on a residential neighborhood in terms of traffic congestion and parking.

    I oppose item 211529 as it does require adequate parking to accommodate the FPC venue. 1,000 spaces is inadequate to accommodate a venue as large as 4800 people. Additionally, there has been no mention of the number of parking spaces to be required for the 30 story building to be constructed at the eastern end of Erie St.

    Oppose 21159 and 21157. Any zoning change should not diminish the current zoning parking requirement. FPC proposal current requires over 1000 parking spaces and this falls far short of what parking needs would be.

    Oppose ordinance 211529. Also oppose ordinance 211537 as it has not been clearly written or discussed by Alderman Bauman in a manner that is understandable, nor does it communicate what the ordinance is intending to accomplish.
