We are looking forward to the community meeting in September to meet our new neighbors as well as to answer any questions. Construction on the indoor expansion will begin soon and we feel that our combination of aesthetics and comfort will be another positive addition to the design district. We have used a local architect, Tom Telesco Inc., as well as multiple designers to translate our concept for fine dining to a Miami vernacular. We intend to be open six nights a week for lunch and dinner as well as three nights a week as a lounge. The combination of indoor and outdoor dining as well as the upgrades to the property are being planned to solve the previous noise complaints. Sound attenuation tests were done recently and those results are allowing us to develop a sound system for the exterior that will keep the sound within lawful limits. The interior space will also be upgraded to combat sound through specialized ceiling material and wall padding. A sound dampening system is being installed in the doorways between the enclosed and open parts of the restaurant to inhibit sound traveling out when the door opens for normal traffic. With the addition of the indoor venue, we re confident that Grass Restaurant will be able to provide our patrons with desirable ambient sound levels at no one's expense. Furthermore the existing upgraded exterior will instead provide a more tranquil atmosphere- a noticeable difference from the past. As you can guess the previous ownership did not convey to us the severity of any noise issues when we were in the process of sale. However, since our team has been in place, proactive measure have been taken to assess and solve these past and foreseeable problems. We have met directly with some of the neighbors that were most affected in order to provide immediate solutions and hear their concerns. One of our concerns that we wanted to address was in relation to misplaced blame. One of the neighbors has been extremely vocal about the noise was involved with the previously issued citation (old ownership). Since our initial contact he has been a gentleman, he has been helpful and he has informed us of the history of the complaint. He also participated in the sound attenuation measurements. At any rate, he assured me that he never made any mistakes and the sound was always coming from Grass Restaurant. We politely disagreed because we have received complaints several times when we were CLOSED. A direct line was given to him as well as some other neighbors in the immediate area. He contacted us on Friday the fourth of August to tell us that the sound was bothersome enough to call us and complain. Grass restaurant has been closed since July 15th for construction preparation. We are not writing this to minimize any of the previous complaints, rather this is part of the process for us to properly address what is causing the excessive noise. And this is not to say that we are not responsible for previous problems, but merely to show that some of the previous complaints were misdirected. Regardless of the past we are anxiously looking forward to the future. A future where the design district as well as the surrounding area become a cohesive mix of residential and commercial properties that provide comfort to the customers of local businesses as well as to the local residents. We are excited about this future and look forward to being a positive impact to the community. SUBMITTED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD FOR ITEM?i is ON -(-o-1.

GRASS restaurant & lounge, located at 28 NE 40 St, is excited to announce new ownership along with a major renovation of its grounds. Grass will not only revamp its existing area but also add a completely enclosed dining room/lounge area with full menu options. With an innovative new team in place, Grass aims not only to be a viable business in the area but more importantly a local venue for fellow business owners, employees and residents of the design district to enjoy the full dining experience. As new owners we've been made aware of issues in Grass's history in regards to resident -business relations. We have actively reached local committees and government officials but feel it's equally if not more important to extend our attention to the residents directly. This letter aims to not only inform residents of our exciting plans but also to open an amicable line of communication; we want the residents to feel as if they can speak with us directly. By actively working towards a positive relationship we are confident any issues can be quickly resolved. Look forward to hearing from all of you! A member of ownership can be reached at (215) 400-0380 or (305) 573-3355. Thank you for your time!

I think we can easily come to an agreement that our Board can accept well in advance of that although you are welcome to attend the meeting and meet the neighbors at that time. I would like to have a solution in hand by that meeting, otherwise these mass meetings can be counterproductive. We need to draft a specific condition to be attached to the exception. Our lawyer will review the language as well to make sure we haven't missed anything. The core issue for us are that all the large sound equipment must be inside. Our group has not expressed concern about anything other than noise -- so dining, serving drinks etc. in the courtyard is no problem for us. Low level, ambient music is also fine but we need to agree on the wattage and number of the exterior speakers. I would be happy to talk to your sound engineer and am consulting with some nightclub people I know so we can develop a plan that will work for both of us. Please let me know when you are available to meet and I will make myself and whichever Board members would like to attend available.

Your new GRASS restaurant/lounge sounds exciting. You are what our neighborhood needs,... Young, exciting energy that cares about our community. I hope that you take all of our concerns to heart, and not just tell us what we want to hear. I guess time will tell about the noise problem. We will be keeping a close eye on the sound level. I will be speaking with Wendy and seeing what her sounds person has to say as well. Please work on minimizing trash in our area (beer bottles, cups,etc). If you can bring this up at your next Merchants Association meeting and possible getting a trash can that would help solve the problem,..After all, we are trying to keep all of Buena Vista clean. Even though you offer valet, it seems that parking is a major problem on our side. I would suggest you look for alternative parking areas for your patrons who do not want to pay valet, it might be worth looking into. There is an empty parking lot on the corner of 42st and N.Miami that might work. During the day its utilized by Majestic Realty but at night its vacant. I haven't spoken to Wendy about this but I don't think the east -side has a parking issue. But, I could be wrong. All in all, I think the meeting went very well. Buena Vista Heights wishes you success and longevity in the coming future. Now that you will be a part of the neighborhood, feel free to join our meetings at anytime. Again, we meet the first Wednesday of each month. Even if we are dead -beat tired and want to cancel, we still meet. Talk to you later.

Everyone had legitimate issues and constructive suggestions (especially the front row). We were concentrating on the noise issue but we can definitely turn our attention to the parking and trash issues once we reopen. I understand where you're coming from on the noise problem. Only time will tell but our concept fits into what the community wants and allows us to entertain our patrons. The previous Grass did not have that option as they did not own the adjoining indoor property. We will relay your current concerns to the merchant's association as well as future concerns from your ongoing meetings. We really had fun last night and look forward to being a positive impact on Buena Vista. Have a good time in Jamaica even though its only for 12 hours.

Dear Neighbors, Our usual monthly meeting will take place this Saturday morning at 10:30am on NE 1st Avenue between NE 46th and 47th Streets. We will have guests so please be on time. You are welcome to bring chairs. There will be coffee and donuts there, so there's no need to skip breakfast. On the agenda are the following items: 1. The new owners of Grass will be there to show us the plans for their new "resto-lounge" and to address our longstanding concerns over noise. They will have drawings and a floorplan to show. 2. We also have plans for the new Living Room theater on N Miami Avenue and6 U BM ITTE D INTO TH E 40th Street. We will also have copies of the COR project as well as Tiziano and Gallery for review. You can take a look at them although we PUBLIC RECORD FOR don't have copies for distribution. 3. BVEHNA Ballots for electing Board members are being mailed tomorrow and ITEM t • v. anyone who has not yet joined as a member may join and receive a ballot at ON a-A-o-I the meeting. Completed ballots must be delivered to 59 NE 46th Street by November 19 to be counted. Ellen Wedner is doing the tabulating for us and we will need a volunteer to do a double count. There will be a general discussion of how the new Board will be seated and plans for the new year. 4. We will have a review of the Halloween event. It has been suggested to make this an annual event. We need to decide if this is something we want because we need to plan several months in advance in cooperation with the Commissioner's office to do this right. I urge everyone to come out to this meeting. I would like to have good turnout in case we have visitors from Commissioner Edmonson's office. Thank you, and please let me know of you have any additional items to add to the agenda.
