Summary

Winfield Subdivision resident Joyce Irvin told the council she has experienced noise, trash, fights and property damage when a previous tenant (Buffalo Wild Wings) operated in a nearby strip mall and asked how the city can proactively prevent similar problems if another bar/restaurant moves in.

During citizen comments, longtime resident Joyce Irvin said the Indian Creek Commons strip mall near 56th Street sits very close to homes on Sedggrass Drive and described problems while Buffalo Wild Wings occupied a unit: repeated noise violations, employee fights in the alley, trash and debris in yards, police activity through the neighborhood and property damage when an employee drove through a neighbor’s yard and fence.

Irvin said she had heard a rumor that another bar-restaurant tenant would occupy the former Buffalo Wild Wings space and asked how the city could work proactively to prevent similar spillover impacts into the neighborhood. A councilor and staff offered to speak with Irvin after the meeting and promised follow-up information.
