Re: License tVumber 20060002586, IV Vescovino, Sormerly The Vintage, 579 Seiby
Avenue
Ms. Rozek,
The Summit-University Planning Councif was contacYed by Jim Risimini regarding his
group's lease of the former Vintage restaurant space at 579 Selby Avenue, and his
request to transfer the Vintage's licenses for a new restaurant, II VesCOVino. At our
request, Mr. Risimini attended our Neighborhood Issues meeting to discuss his plans and
answer quesiions firom neighbors. The Council posted this information on our Web site,
and distributed fiiers by hand to the surrounding blocks to encourage neighbors to attend
this meeting.
Several neighbors did attend the meeting on August 15, and were pleased to hear of the
new owners' experience and commitment to the success of the restaurant. There were
concerns expressed that the live entertainment license not be used to an e�ent that
would produce loud music in the evenings for neigh6oring houses, and Mr. Risimini
assured us that the iniention was for moderate indoor use of entertainment and these
activities would not disturb the residents of the area. Mr. Risimini promised to investigate
wnether there was a more appropriate license category fior the type of entertainment he
intended to provide, and our otfice did later receive his response indicating the original
application was the appropriate one,.
An additional concern was raised regarding trash handling, odor and pick-up frequency
under the previous restaurant at that location. Mr. Risimini promised to address those
concerns to minimize effects of trash in the area.
Rev, Darryl Spence The Summit-University Planning Council Board of Directors reviewed this information at
Pat Lamb their August 22 meeting, and voted to recommend II Vescovino receive all licenses they
Marqurcn Ransom have requested, and that the required 45 day waiting period be waived to ailow them to
open when renovations to the space are compieted. If we can provide any further
Richard Kleinbaum information, piease do hesitate to contact me.
