The post below was originally on our myspace blog.
This post, and any included comments, have been copied to this blog for
the sake of continuity. Feel free to make additional comments.
At the time when these were written, I was blogging as the Commission decided each result, so originally these were a series of small posts. For convenience sake, I have concatenated them all together into one post. The original myspace comments have been concatenated as well. I have also annotated the comments (using "[]"), so that you know to which business they pertain.

Blogging Live from City
Hall: City Plan Commission Results for Darkside Lounge & Elm St. Bar
Wes owns both of these
bars and there were two different hearings. The results were the same for both:
many supporters and no opposition showed (possibly one on record).
Commission approved their SUP (not sure how long). That recommendation will
now go before Dallas City Council on Dec. 12, where the final descision will be
made.

Blogging Live from City
Hall: City Plan Commission Results for Double Wide
Many supporters. Five people were on record
in opposition--apparently they could not be troubled to make their way out to
the City Plan Commission though. If they had actually showed up, it would have
been a rough day for Jill and Kim. One of the commissioners noted that as
well.
Their SUP was approved (not sure for how
long). That recommendation will now go before Dallas City Council on Dec. 12,
where the final descision will be made.

Blogging Live from City
Hall: City Plan Commission Results for Minc
There was opposition to Minc mostly from
landowners. Gibson Properties was the principal opposition. There was also very
strong support from residents and immedate neighbors. The Commission actually
seemed to be in favor for Minc. However, there was a motion made by a Commission
member for an extension until next week, so that they could attempt
reconcilliation with the property owners. Several of the Commission members felt
it was not necessary; that they would vote for Minc's approval. However, the
motion was seconded and passed. Minc will face the Commission again next
week.
Amsterdam is up right now....

Blogging Live from City
Hall: City Plan Commission Results for Monkey Bar
It is difficult to count the number of people
here at this time, but probably close to 75 in support of the venues. When asked
who was here to support the Monkey Bar, practically the whole room (which was
almost filled) stood up. The majority of them were residents of the
neighborhood. Still, four residents that were immediate neighbors (within 500
feet) showed up in opposition. They had never spoken with the owner until last
week.
Despite Gerald's (Monkey Bar's owner)
written commitment to try and meet the oppositions specific demands, the
Commission denied the Monkey Bar. Gerald says he intends to appeal.
Currently Minc is facing the commission with some strong opposition. Everyone
is here supporting them. I will give an update when it is finished....
