1. James B. Bonham Elementary facility is scheduled to

reopen and continue its proud 89-year history
2. The Pie Tap & Bars parking arrangement and the
resulting traffic congestion will be dangerous to all
pedestrians (school children, residents, and patrons)
3. The quality of life for the adjacent residential properties
will be adversely affected due to increases in noise, traffic
congestion, and overflow parking on residential streets

DISD has made that case

The property is literally an island

surrounded by a park, a school, and other
adjacent residential properties

Per Google Maps: Remote parking lot is 443 feet away (almost 1-1/2 football fields)
and 1 minute away (NOT including distance traveled on properties)

Conclusion:
1. The property is literally an island surrounded by a park, a school, and
other adjacent residential properties

2. The front of the restaurant structure faces the neighborhood instead of

facing Henderson Avenue
3. Ingress/Egress is provided on Bonita, a residential street
4. Over half of the applicants required parking is 443 feet away - best case and 1584 feet away during peak Henderson traffic days/hours
5. The inefficient parking situation will cause gridlock which will force
traffic to cut through the neighborhood

Homer St

This property was never intended for a

high intensity restaurant-bar use.
Pedestrian safety, as well as quality of life
for the adjacent residential properties will
be adversely affected as a result.
