Goodmorning,

| have been attempting to use the dashboard set up by David Cornell. Ms. Kleiner informed me that all of you had
training on the dashboard. Could | set up an appointment with one of you to go over how to use this dashboard.
Our tax dollars paid for it, it is not self explanatory, and we should be able to understand and use it. There is a lot
of data in there that looks like it could be helpful.

| am available this week, except possibly on Thursday. | can work with whatever time someone has available. |
would imagine 30 minutes would go a long way to understanding this dashboard.

Thank you,

Laurie

Mr. Jette

Thank you for your response. | did return your call but you were not available. | totally apologize as |
was taken a take out call.

| do want to make you and all the board aware, | did talk to my landlord and he doesn't want to
jeopardize my business since he is aware restaurants do benefit from barriers and the extended
outside dining.

| thought this was about compromise and my block went from barriers in ail 13 parking spaces to just
me asking for 2. You stated " | moved to shorten the barriers to let you use the one space and provide
some parking in front of Wingates”. | have sat and recorded a full day of parking usage and out of a
whole day, not kidding you, only 2 people entered Wingates in a period of 8 hours. | want to remind
everyone, Wingates closes at 5pm, doesn't open Sundays and on Saturdays only from 8-12.

| definitely feel bullied by my neighbor and not only me but he has bullied and manipulated other
business, even to the point of misinformation about SFK, unappreciated by certain Alderman, who
don't have the courtesy to return my emails in regards to my concerns, I'm a nashua resident and pay
taxes, and discriminated because | am Latina by some people, and is not fair because | was actually
born and raised in Nashua NH and my husband is a veteran and has deployed for this country 3
times and who do you think has supported all his deployments and handled everything here at home
so he can serve his country, Me. Now that I'm asking for help, | get an answer that is an unfair option
for me and my business.

When the whole barriers issue started. Mr. Wingate's issues were parking, traffic and emergency
vehicles and now that all those options were address, now his issue is no tables in front of his store
front. | house a landscape that | didn't not ask for, why am | getting penalize for stuff that | didn't do or
request. | also want to make all of you aware, Wingates has offered to allow tables and chair in front
of his store but with the conditions of, | have to remove them at 10pm and only put them out at 5pm, |
don't have the storage to put the tables and chairs in a daily basis in my restaurant until |'m allowed to
use his store front sidewalk and also | have to take 100% liability that if | break one of his windows,
the windows are not the type that crack, it shatters, so therefore If | accept, I'm putting my employees
and guest at risk, knowing is dangerous. So | ask myself, if he is willing to allow me to put tables and
chairs in front of his store on sidewalk, wouldn't it be better on the street away from his storefront?

I'm sorry for all the issues this has caused on my block, but I'm just trying to survive financially, help
my employees and retain them and keep serving the community like it has been for the last 26 years.
| do Thank all of you, every person involved in this committee and Board because this is not an easy
job, but please try to put yourself in my shoes, trying to keep a business open and I'm literally
discussing my income and my employees future. | have a lot on the line here, just because I'm asking

for two parking spaces.

Thank you,

Lina,
I tried returning your call but you were not available and your mailbox was full.

Let me try to explain why I made the motion to shorten the barriers in front of Wingate’s
Pharmacy. I don’t think it is fair to allow one business to place tables and chairs in front of
another business without permission. To my knowledge, that is the way it is for every other city
in N.H. that has an expanded outdoor dining program.

Attorney Bolton clarified that it is not the business but the property owner who controls the use
of the sidewalk and the street in front of the property subject to the city’s right of way for
pedestrian and vehicular travel. (] am summarizing what he said in general terms. He was much
more precise in his use of language to explain the law.)

I did understand him to say that the city cannot authorize a restaurant to place tables and chairs
on the sidewalk or on the street in front of property without the consent of the property owner. In
your case, the property in front of your restaurant and Wingate’s is owned by your landlord. So,
you will have to get your landlord’s permission to place tables and chairs in front of your
restaurant. I do not believe that the city can tell your landlord to allow you to place tables and
chairs in front of Wingate’s.

The city can place barriers in the street to narrow Main Street and provide space for dining in the
street, but the use of that space for dining still requires the permission of the property owner. In
your case, I did not think that the landlord was going to allow you to use the property in front of
Wingate’s without Wingate’s consent. And I didn’t think that Wingate’s was going to consent.
So, I thought that we would end up with barriers in front of Wingate’s with empty dining spaces
and no parking for Wingate’s. I saw it as a lose lose situation. That’s why I moved to shorten the
barriers to let you use the one space in front of your restaurant and provide some parking in front
of Wingate’s.

I tried to do the same thing in front of Casanova’s and Jajabelle’s for the same reasons, but that
motion failed.

I am sorry that your restaurant does not have more sidewalk space or parking spaces in front of it
or that you think it is unfair that the city cannot allow you to use someone else’s property. But I
hope you understand that I acted in a way that I believe is fair and according to the law.

Ms. Gomez —

At this point, the decision is in the hands of the Board of Aldermen. The Administration put
forward a plan to accommodate two unobstructed parking spaces to accommodate tables and
chairs. But as you may know, Alderman Jette offered a recommendation to alter the plan, which
a majority of the Task Force present agreed with cutting back the placement of the barrier’s,
which in turn would put a barrier in one of the two parking spaces originally left available for
tables and seating. The new placement of the barrier will not take up the entirety of the parking
space, but it will have a limiting effect (leaving you with 1+ parking spaces).

Alderman Jette did not offer a reason as to why he made the motion (or if he did I missed it), but
it might be worth exploring with him. I provided ample data showing that there is more than
enough parking in the vicinity, but in fairness, some of the neighboring businesses believe that
the only “real” parking spaces available to them are those directly on Main Street right in-front
of their storefronts.

Additionally, I learned yesterday that it was represented by some members of the task force that
SFK was in support of the Jette recommendation, clearly by your below email that is not the case
and I believe may have been misinformation.

All I can suggest is that you make your point(s) clear to the Board of Aldermen and your
Landlord (the property owner).

Thank you.

Good Afternoon, Mr. Cummings

I hope you are having a great weekend. Mr. Cummings, I'm reaching out to you, begging if
needed, to please don’t take away parking spaces from SFK. The past two years we have had two
parking spaces free of barriers and handicap ramp, and it was sufficient to accommodate the
tables I had bought and yet keep the 6ft distance, not required, but better if done. If I'm given two
spaces but yet have to house the barrier and ramp on one of them, it will bring me down to one
space and I wouldn't be able to place the tables and it would be literally reducing my space.

3

Mr. Cummings, I'm just trying to help my employees and do well in my business. I swear, I'm
doing everything right back of the house, but is not my fault, winter months were slow and I
haven't had the pleasure of getting the sales from a Holiday Stroll, which I heard are good for the
business. If the barriers are getting approved, which I don't know yet, please allow SFK to have
the spaces, which we are used to and don't make any changes, like in other facilities. Give me the
same opportunity to increase sales and succeed financially in the summer months like others.

I can't compare my restaurant to Surf or Martha. I'm working very hard to improve the restaurant
and to it be more welcoming and customers will want to stop and try it again. My restaurant will
hurt if space is taken away. It may not seem a big difference but 2 spaces free of barriers and
ramp, allows for additional tables, which I already have since last year and one table increases
sales, sale that I don't have.

Again, I want to thank the whole board and committee for their hard work and long hours put
into the meetings, but I beg you, please help me and don't take away parking space from SFK.
The whole block consist of 13 parking spaces, I'm only asking for 2 free of barriers and ramp.

I have emailed Mr. Jette as well, but I'm also reaching out to you. I feel helpless and like I'm
being targeted, maybe because I'm Latin, but I don't understand why other establishments, like
Jaja belle didn't get any reductions in space and they are not even open 7 days like me and yet it
seems my restaurant is an issue.

Please, take my request into consideration.

Thank you,

Lina Gomez
