Lynn Cartwright —
I have come before the Seal Beach City Council to make you all aware of a petition being
circulated to combat the noise, violence, littering, and safety issues surrounding Khoury's
Creative Chicken in the Alamitos Landing of Long Beach. It is my hope to enlist the support of
our City Council in this effort, as it has caused concern for Seal Beach residents and is utilizing
our police resources.
Such petitions are effective in abating such problems as proven in the past by a petition
circulated in 1996 regarding similar circumstances surrounding Moose McGillycuddy's and La
Mirage at a time when fatal and riotous behaviors surfaced in the same area. It is my hope to
prevent such dangerous problems as well as to recover the peaceful atmosphere we have all
come to appreciate as our home environment and a clean wholesome place for all to enjoy.
I thank you for your time, and giving this your consideration.
