I strongly oppose the proposed location of a non-alcoholic teenage nightclub at 17225 E. Shea.

My condo is located at the east end of Firebrick Resort Casitas with a patio and windows facing the nearby proposed site. I specifically selected this condo and this resort for its secluded and quiet location.

This nightclub would destroy everything I sought in buying this winter retreat 10 years ago. In addition to lack of parking spaces, there are many other negative issues. There would be constant noise from foot and auto traffic starting early evening until 10 or 11 p.m.

Capacity numbers of both 150 and 300 are far beyond reasonable for the plaza. This doesn’t account for those teens from areas near and far drawn to the nightclub but not going into it.

The rear of the plaza complex is totally accessible from Firebrick, which will result in auto and foot traffic, parking issues and teen activity on and around the Firebrick drive area and our condo.

There are many security issues concerning our resort and the adjoining neighborhood. In my opinion there’s no possible way the neighborhood can be guaranteed adequate policing for drug, alcohol, property violations and other security issues. This will most likely adversely affect property values in Firerock Resort Casitas and in the adjoining residential neighborhood.

This site at Shea Plaza with nearby homes and condos is just not suitable for a teen nightclub. The dark and out-of-the-way location of the proposed site is not conducive to the safety of the teens or the neighborhood.

In my opinion the teen Club would be better suited for a non-residential area, such as the bowling alley or the old Goodwill store.
