Dear Sirs:
Having lived all over the world from Hong Kong to London and many cities in America, I can state without hesitation that Draeger's
Market is the best grocery store I have ever patronized. The quality and variety of its merchandise from meat to chicken to fish
to produce to jams, etc... is beyond comparison. For Menlo Park to loose this treasure would be a true shame.
I understand that you, the council members, are planning to vote on the modification of the loading zone on Evelyn Street at your
Oct. 23rd meeting. This is because of a proposed development next to Draeger's at 840 Menlo Avenue. Please do consider the five
loading zone alternatives that would be both compatible with the new development and with Draeger's need to receive the deliveries
to keep their business intact.
1. Redesign the proposed project garage entrance to Menlo Avenue to retain the existing Evelyn Street loading zone.
2. Redesign the proposed project garage entrance south on Evelyn Street closer to MenloAvenue in order to preserve a reduced
loading zone on Evelyn Street.
3. Create a loading zone on Evelyn Street between Menlo Avenue and the proposed project garage entrance without any redesign.
4. Relocate the loading zone to Menlo Avenue.
5. Relocate the loading zone across the street to the other side of Evelyn Street.
Thank-you for your consideration!
Sincerely,Patty Boettcher346 Felton DriveMenlo Park
