You should also be aware that your property is directly across the street <br />from a residentially zoned property filled with families and young <br />children. Moreover, the City Council has been considering legislation <br />which would illegalize adult uses within 500 feet of residentially zoned <br />property. "Private Eyes" would clearly be illegal if such legislation were <br />to pass. <br />The Block Associations in Clinton have been working long and hard to <br />make their streets safer and drug-free. Renting your property to an adult <br />use such as "Private Eyes" undermines their hard work and significant <br />achievements. <br />am aware the Community Board #4 has -offered 'to ' assist you in <br />fir' "identifying a more appropriate use for 320 West45thiStreet 1=urge you <br />to accept the board's offer. I .would be more than, happy to' provide <br />assistance from my office as well: <br />The West 45th Street Block Association: - <br />(Letter to Community Board 4, March -4, .1994) - <br />...The "Private Eyes" adult nightclub at 320.W. 45th St: has. become a <br />continuous. cause of concern and frustration. among- block -residents: <br />Although the club may.,be.. in technical compliance ,with various laws, <br />little by little, Private Eyes has created conditions that cheapen the quiet <br />ambiance of this mostly residential block, adversely 'affect our quality of <br />life and attract elements (both patrons and non -patrons) who continually <br />disturb the peace. .-`': Z. <br />'No -Parking" was established on -this block several years ago 'to <br />,7discourage loitering around parked cars. By allowing (or encouraging) <br />patrons to disregard parking regulations, conditions are created for late <br />night crowds and disturbances. <br />Indeed, we've noticed a distinct increase in Private Eyes patrons hanging <br />out and milling around parked cars -- late at night usually between 2 and <br />4 a.m.. These patrons are often inebriated, rowdy and shouting, blowing <br />car horns and -in -at, least one instance they have even tried to overturn <br />a car. A side effect is that car alarms tend to go off frequently. <br />This late-night congregating in front of the club happens again and again. <br />These people do not live here or have any respect for block residents. <br />And whether by design or happenstance, the club attracts certain non - <br />patrons detrimental to the block. Street prostitution and drug dealing <br />has increased. <br />EVER00235 <br />
