Two citizens expressed concerns regarding the potential opening of a Twin Peaks restaurant, specifically objecting to the attire of staff and its perceived impact on Moore's family-friendly community image. They were informed that the city has no legal grounds to prohibit the restaurant's opening due to appropriate commercial zoning, and were advised to contact the restaurant directly or invite other family-friendly establishments.
