"I've helped shut down a dozen clubs all over the West Side," he says with pride. "I make people paranoid. I can recite code."- Henry Senyak. This link also via Clint Holley, who says Henry is "A real fun guy...". yeah, that's sarcasm.

"Right there." Dentist Heinz Mikota points a finger out the front window of his second-floor apartment overlooking Literary Avenue in Tremont, through the scrolls of the black metal grill he crafted himself.
The worst part is that some of these places would not close for good. They would just move to other cities. Solves the problems of people living next to them, but gives them a whole new set to deal with. We've all seen what happens what businesses leave a city en masse. We've seen what happens to the neighborhoods. Many of you will remember what Tremont was like BEFORE all of the clubs, bars, and galleries came in. It'll be back to that, and the residents will all leave too.
Not to mention, the forced flight of businesses from the city will take a huge number of jobs out side the borders, which will put yet another dent in our already sagging and decrepit tax base.
Then there's the owners that are barely scraping by in this economy as it is. They will not be able to re-locate or re-build a business someplace else. They will just be done. Which might make some people happy. But in truth, this city can't really afford to lose any more jobs or businesses.

Ever wonder what happened to the Starkweather? These people killed it, and now they are trying to take the measures city wide. Another link via Clint Holley, who asked "Any of these requirements look familiar?". I used to think this was minor misunderstanding from people who really didn't get how these businesses work. Now I know it's intentional pandering to an extremist special interest group.

Dan, the agreement with the Starkweather is shown as an illustration of what kinds of things are now being proposed for an entire city. Do I think the agreement with one club was unreasonable? Yeah, I do. Especially considering that afte...r it was signed by all parties, and abided by by the club, the neighbors pushed it into being shut down anyhow.
It's just an illustration to show what kinds of things are deemed reasonable and acceptable by the people behind the current proposed legislation. If it didn't make them happy with one club in their backyard, how's it gonna make them happy to put the clamps on an entire city?See More
Good Afternoon:
I just wanted to touch base with you again today. I will again link the most current postings from Facebook later or you can just view them at this link.
With full disclosure, I provided technical opposition to a variance Ms. Flinner and Prosperity was seeking to legalize their use. This was in 2007. The Board of Zoning Appeals allowed me to testify, even allowed me to cross-examine Ms. Flinner. But when I requested that BOZA call City Inspector Rufus Taylor, who was present to testify in this case I was subsequently denied and silenced. So I felt strongly that BOZA violated my rights. Understanding I had some legal remedy's at my disposal I filed a Administrative Appeal
via Cuyahoga County Common pleas against the City of Cleveland and BOZA. I did not name Ms Flinner or Prosperity in this case. I always felt that I needed to wake up the City of Cleveland to finally take this matter seriously. The City of Cleveland had to defend this because their Zoning Board was the ones involved in the decision. Ms. Flinner intervened into this appeal at her own free will and spend significant money defending this case when the City of Cleveland had to do this as the defendant.
Ms Flinner's attorney wrote on page 13 on a reply brief.
{Mr. Senyak routinely seeks public records requests investigating local businesses and files 'Citizen's Complaints" for any technical violation he can find in what can only describe as a vindictive desire to force businesses in Tremont neighborhood to cease operating as a going concern. Mr. Senyak's reign of terror should not be tolerated by this Honorable Court}
I am sorry that Ms. Flinner and Mr. Holley are holding a grudge for something that happened close to five years ago. Even though I knew personally I did not have standing under the law I felt compelled to proceed and spend thousands of my own dollars to make sure the City of Cleveland would take changing the existing laws seriously.
When Councilman Joe Santiago made a attempt to create a committee in 2007, I was asked to participate. Councilman Santiago stacked these meeting with all owners including Ms. Flinner. No other citizens participated and the Cleveland Police would not even attend because of Joe Santiago. To recently quote the Plain Dealer in the Mitchell's Ice Cream Story in the old Moda space "Bar Booster" in reference to Joe Santiago
One day within the committee Ms Flinner and I broke out into a argument. This was both of our faults and was unprofessional. But Ms. Flinner made statements that I did not matter. My Block Club does not matter. I took this quite personal. I reside close enough with other neighbors to have a opinion. Plus BOZA allowed my testimony. Since Joe Cimperman in 2008 committed to holding committees I have advocated many proposals Ms. Flinner put forth. Most of the Licensing section written by Chief of Staff Ken Silliman in the current proposal was based on her ideas of revoking licenses for bad operators. Ms. Flinner did not participate in the new committee, but did participate in the public hearings at the City Planning Commission and at the only truly public meeting to date at NOACCA in 6/20/11 with Director Bob Brown that had a 50-50 mix of concerned residents and business operators.
I am personally disappointed that this is now why the publicity has been so negative on this matter six months after the legislation was read into City Council. Why Now?
I applaud Ms. Flinner and have always public stated that Ms. Flinner operates a first class business. I would continue to publicly state this.
You will see on the facebook site that today the musicians are attacking the outdoor patio portion of the legislation. Do they realize that Ms. Flinner agreed to terms of her own specific block club in Tremont to limit her patio to no live entertainment, and to shut off outdoor speakers at 12AM? (See attached)
I have also attached violation notices for Prosperity, and two complete nightmares La Copa, and El Tropical. You can see the issue plainly, the City Building and Housing has to cite them same way. Yes, unfair. Now you see the real problem. This then becomes selective if quality operators do not have to play by the same rules.
My part in this now twisted play was always to see the City of Cleveland change the laws to protect the quality of Life. The mere fact the City and all but two Councilman Cummins, and Cimperman have chose to remain silent shows that what we have try to do and be transparent and fair about from day one is in jeopardy and become just mere politics.
I am sorry that this issue is now going to cloud my abilities to advocate for this cause and I am asking each of you to step up. Everything I have every attempted to have done was for my neighborhood and community at large. If you Google search me you will see a proven track record of advocacy for the people and my City.
I have available all transcripts and pleadings if anyone wants to review them.
Respectfully
Henry P. Senyak
