<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Kabel Bk BT">As anyone who lives within earshot of the
Calvert House knows, they play VERY LOUD dance music till all hours of the
night. Yes, the place used to be a very nice restaurant, but recently they
have been trying to switch it to a more club like atmosphere. I live
across Route 1 from them and several times have had to call RPD at 330 am or
later to get them to turn down their music so my sons and I can sleep. I'm
not sure what the town sign means, but for those of us kept up all night by
their "restaurant", maybe it will help.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

just got back from the Calvert House and there’s a sign on the entrance
indicating that I should not enter the premises without permission from the
Town. Rumor has it that the Town considers the Calvert House a dance
hall. I’ve probably been there ~50 times and I’ve never seen anyone
dancing there, just eating. After all it is a restaurant. What’s
going on?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Honestly
Vern, I’m incensed that this sort of thing is going on in Riverdale. Is
this what the Town calls economic development? Freydoun (spelling) has
been there for 30+ years. A typical day for him is 10am to 4am.
Does anyone on distribution work this hard? Is this how we take care of
longtime business owners in this town? If there’s an issue with karaoke
or whatever, I’m sure Freydoun would be happy to stop that activity until the
issue is resolved without the need for signs which state and I quote “No
person is to enter the premises without permission of the
Town”.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Has
anyone at the Town Hall considered the impact of this sign on Freydoun’s
business. How about his family or all of the people that work
there. The revenue from his business is their lively hood. Is it
the Town’s intent to put him out of business and all of those people out of
work? What about their families and their well being? I just
talked to Susan (Fredoun’s wife) and she told me the place has been dead since
the sign was posted. He has a valid license to operate a
restaurant. So what is the problem with him operating the
restaurant?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I
talked to one of the vet’s at Lynn Animal Hospital and he told me that trash
has been a problem behind their building recently. Freydoun told me a
few days ago that he’s been cleaning up the parking lot after he closes.
I’m guessing that maybe some of the trash behind the building is from
McDonald’s patrons parking there after hours. I believe McDonalds is now
open for 24 hours. It would be easy to determine if this is the
case. Just check to see how much McDonald’s trash is in the back of the
Calvert House on a Saturday or Sunday morning.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I
feel that the Town should be working with Freydoun to resolve this problem as
if he were a college not an enemy. He’s been here a lot longer than many
of us. Doesn’t this mean anything to the Town? He as his wife are
good people and their business is an asset to Riverdale
Park.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
