It is frustrating all hours of any day or night. I believe accidents have increased as well as prostitution. I cannot believe it is good for the nearby businesses. And I do not see it have a positive contribution to our town. Cannot imagine have to live opposite it if we living further out can hear all the noise and imagine if you working shifts that will be messing with their life's as they will not be able sufficient rest /sleep

(Kathu, 2019-02-19)

I was personally exposed to the noticeable prostitution and felt very offended and would like put town to maintain a good moral example for our children and keep them save in the community.

(Kathu, 2019-02-20)

It is unexceptable

(Kathu, 2019-02-20)

This is outrages.

(Kathu, 2019-02-20)

#75

I refer to the Bylaw, Noice Polution and visitors driving undet the influence of akcohol that have very bad effect on other sober drivers. Other people who are working shifts who need to rest any hour of the day. I do not see any benefits to this community except money in the owners pocket. Thank you.

(Kathu, 2019-02-20)

#77

The venue for the open air tavern are unsuitable and affects the residential areas in the area in more ways than one ito noise, crime and erosion of property value. The crime rate will increase tenfold which will drain the police capacity.

(Kathu, 2019-02-20)

#78

To much noise and drunk ppl

(Kathu, 2019-02-20)

This is not good for our residents. We need peace and quite at our houses. Loud music and liqour is not suppose to be in our living space.

(Kathu, 2019-02-22)

They are causing a disturbance in the community and also placing a higher risk for accidents at a high risk area.

(Kathu , 2019-02-22)

The loud music is a disturbance to everybody.

(kathu, 2019-02-22)

#108

I live in a neighborhood close to the tavern. The music in the early hours of the morning especially Sunday nights/Monday mornings is unbearable and unacceptable.

(Kathu , 2019-02-22)

#109

We do want not extra shebiens in the town area as there are already enough legal and illegal ones. The noise they are making behind Kameeldoring cafe at the moment can be heard and is desturbing inhabitants blocks away day and night. Legal house and shop owners should surely be respected in this case

(KathuS, 2019-02-22)

#113

Cant stand the noise.

(Kathu, 2019-02-22)

#118

“The social ills and negative affect on the broader community is not being considered in allowing this operation to proceed. The benefit of one night club owner cannot supersede the public disorder, increase in criminal activities (i.e. drugs & noticeable prostitution), road safety, noise pollution, general nuisance and sleep disturbance ”

(Kathu, 2019-02-22)

#119

(Kathu, 2019-02-23)

#127

Due process has not been followed in obtain the zoning rights and the liquor license for The Emperor Lounge. As a property owner and an adjacent neighbor my rights are adversely by the unlawfull business.

(Kathu, 2019-02-23)

#130

I hear the music playing at 1:00 in the morning and I stay about 750m from the tavern. The poor people that stay close, I can not imagine what they must be going through. This is inhumane. Close them please.

(Kathu, 2019-02-23)

Unsafe for surrounding businesses.
Dit not follow due process.

I am a resident of Kathu for more than 12 years and much involved in services rendered to families and learners at school and training facilities. The social changes in town are concerning. There is an increase in alcohol related problems amongst families, young working adults and teenagers. Along with alcohol misuse comes an increase in abusive behavior in marriages and families as well as misuse of other substances. Rape and teenage pregnancies are often reported in connection with a habit of drinking alcohol.

To me as a loyal citizen of this town I am concerned of this tendency and how an open air tavern promotes this type of lyfestyle and invite people to participate in consuming huge quantities of alcohol every night of the week until the early hours.

The along going noise creates an unpleasant disturbance for residents like myself, who is now subject to music until the early morning hours. I find this factor personally very disturbing and unkind, not to mention that it is also illegal.

My plead is that the tavern should close down, since the contribution thereof in Kathu is not to the benefit of residents at all.

(Kathu, 2019-03-01)

#154

To license such an establishment can in no way be to the benefit of the community.

(Kathu, 2019-03-07)

#155

Petition against open air tavern at back of kameeldoring due to en vironmental and safety concerns.

(Kathu, 2019-03-19)
