The staff report (section "Proximity to Residential Use) omits these nearby businesses from its analysis giving the misleading impression that later hours are normal for the area; they are not. Also, I would like to mention that the hours listed for Alexander's Steakhouse in the staff report are likewise misleading. Alexander's Steakhouse dinner hours are until 10:30 pm at the latest. Once again, I would like to express my opposition to application U-2016-04- extension of hours of operation for Meet Fresh/Tea Chansii at Main Street Cupertino. I understand that the planning department has received over a dozen similar objections from residents/homeowners.

Sau��$: Metropolitan condo residence Dear Cupertino Planning Committee, I am writing to express my opposition on the above application about extending its business hours to 1AlVI in the morning. The above applicant shop is in very close vicinity of residents and homes. It is located at the west side of the new Cupertino main street project, and is in fact surrounded on 3 sides by residential buildings- -to its direct west(right behind it), there is the metropolitan condo -to its north west, there is the nineteen800 apartments building -to its direct north and north east, is the new apartment building which is part of the main street proj ect and is still under construction. ( In fact this shop is roughly within 10 feet of the new apartment building being built.) In 1Vletropolitan alone, there are 30 families live on this side, lots of whom have young kids froin babies to school age and mostly elementary school age. Kids and families need enough quiet time to rest to function well in school, at work and in daily life. Right now however, the shops' operating hours axe already causing lots of disturbances. With some shops open early as 6am and 7 ain to some other shops close late at 11 �m or 12AM, it leaves only less than�- �n�lln�uu�s �ff"�l��n°` �n�nn� for the residents around! That number is further reduced by the fact that at store close, some customers roam their engines on the parking lot before target, talk loudly, play loud music, and even some late night ecstatic shouts. On top of all these, some business do their late night store cleaning(like trash dropping) and early morning(before opening) delivery with large trucks beeping and loud engine noises.... Under such circumstances, any further extension of business hours seem unacceptable and even unfair for the existing as well as future communities. Furthermore, we hope the city can carry out more regulations to this new project so that the nearby community can go on with their normal lives. We greatly appreciate any help from the city.

I have been a Cupertino resident and homeowner at the Metropolitan at Cupertino complex for nearly ten years - when I purchased my home at the Metropolitan, a huge draw was the adjacent vacant acreage which was being designated by the city as a large green park. Since then, we residents at the Metropolitan (and Cupertino at large) have heard that plan change so many times - first the promise of a spacious paxk, then a smaller park with senior housing, and now the reality is that we stare out of our bedroom windows at the bright lights of Target, �5 I�egrees, and Meet Fresh/Tea Chansii. Main Street is quite popular, and with the parking lot and busy retail adjacent to our homes, we are already dealing with a lot of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The Metropolitan complex is filled with many families - many of us have young or school age children- and the noise from customers at 11 pm (the current closing hour for food service/retail in the immediate vicinity) is disruptive enough. I am afraid that if Meet Fresh is granted this very late night extension of their hours, the other restaurants at Main Street - many of which serve alcohol -will demand the same. The disturbance late at night is already bad; extending hours even later (and potentially adding alcohol to the mix) would be disastrous for hundreds of hard-working individuals and families who live in this area. I am sure our neighbors at the nineteen�00 complex - as well as the future residents in the apartments Sand Hill plans to open later this year at Main Street - would agree.\ Please do not approve this application to extend the hours of operation for Meet Fresh!'I'ea Chansii.
